Crema's Take
“This Providence gem excels at both craft coffee and creative seasonal specials, with loyal regulars raving about everything from their signature Frankenstein Matcha to the beloved local coffee milk. The bright, welcoming space strikes that perfect balance between a serious espresso bar and a comfortable spot to linger with friends or work for hours, all backed by a genuinely warm staff that handles even large groups with ease. Beyond the drinks, their made-from-scratch pastries and breakfast sandwiches prove they're committed to the full specialty café experience, not just coffee.”

Love their seasonal drink options, and the space inside is good to sit and work. The employees were very friendly and it was a smooth process to order and grab drinks. I tried the frosted blueberry latte. Normally I love blueberry lattes, but this tasted a little too artificial for me. We also tried the chocolate mint donut which I did really like.
What an adorable spot!! I decided to try the weekly special Frankenstein Matcha. I ordered it less sweet. I came as part of a big group and all the employees did an amazing job getting the drinks out quickly and accurately. The drink I had was terrific. The ube was sweet and creamy and perfectly sweet and the matcha was nice and earthy. Ube and taro are some of my favorite drink flavors and this was similar to a bubble tea without the boba. The menu had a lot of options that sounded terrific so I'm hoping to go back soon and try something out! I saw they can add a homemade marshmallow and/or a maple whipped cream to any drink and those are both calling my name!!
Heard to try coffee milk while I was in Rhode Island. Specifically this place. And it’s actually really good. I talked about liking it so much (and trying to find other places that tasted just as good. Which I couldn’t find anywhere) that my (now) fiance proposed with a coffee milk bouquet very cute!
The mango lemonade was delicious and did not taste artificial, which is a very difficult thing to do. The croissant, bacon, egg, and cheese was very filling and also tasted great. I also appreciate that if you spend $25 you get a free drink. I definitely recommend going here; it’s very affordable and the store itself is very cute and cozy, a great place to study or do work.
Stopped here on a whim, we were walking by and needed our caffeine fix. I love coffee shops so I was excited to check it out. I read after the fact that they make all natural, small batch, cold brewed coffee syrup that you can mix with milk to make coffee milk; a Rhode Island staple. They roast coffee beans in their 7000 sq ft roastery in Narragansett. There are two Dave's Coffee shops, one in Charlestown and one in Providence. Love supporting a small business, especially from my home state! I saw a sign right out on the sidewalk showing their specials. I had to try out their iced cardamom vanilla oat milk latte; that was perfect and I could've drank a whole gallon of it. Service was great and ambiance was that of a cozy coffee shop. The coffee was fresh and tasty. A great asset to have in RI.
