The Nitro Bar
228 Broadway, Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“This Providence hotspot has earned its viral reputation with meticulously crafted signature drinks like their famous Caramelized Banana latte, where locally sourced ingredients are transparently celebrated right on the menu. The expertly trained staff moves an impressive line with genuine warmth and speed, and the cool neighborhood vibe—enhanced by the attached DASH bike store—makes it feel like more than just a coffee run. Whether you're grabbing a nitro cold brew, a tap-poured chai, or a creative seasonal special, The Nitro Bar delivers the kind of specialty care and personality that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
