L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery
9 Wayland Ave, Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Wayland Square, L'Artisan Cafe & Bakery is a bright, welcoming spot where you can linger over expertly crafted espresso drinks—their flavored iced lattes made with quality Illy beans are a particular standout—while enjoying fresh pastries and thoughtfully prepared breakfast fare. The cozy, laptop-friendly atmosphere makes it ideal for everything from solo coffee breaks to casual meetings with friends, though it's worth noting that pastry quality and pricing seem inconsistent based on customer experiences.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

If I could give 0 stars, I would have. 5 pieces of pastry cost $40. Pastry was disgusting. I expected fresh,delicious pastry. I think one piece tasted freezer burnt and the others tasted old. One piece was ok, but for the price, it was just so disappointing and I love sweets.…
Excellent place to go grab a salad/snack/sandwich and a coffee. I've had the lattes and the cappuccinos, which were both 10 out of 10 stars. The food options are vast, and everything is SO fresh. As you can see from my picture, the patio area is a very nice spot to hang out…
