Zinneken's Belgian Waffles and Café
194 Angell St, Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“This Belgian waffle haven in Providence has earned its reputation as a dessert destination where the tiramisu latte is genuinely worth the hype, layered with actual tiramisu on top for an indulgent experience that goes beyond typical coffee shop fare. The shop's warmth extends from its staff's genuine friendliness to the irresistible aroma of fresh waffles and creative toppings, making it feel like a place where people linger and savor rather than rush through. Whether you're drawn by their unexpected matcha drinks, perfectly crispy waffles, or those signature creative coffee drinks, you're signing up for a slow-sit experience that's equal parts specialty café and beloved neighborhood gathering spot.”

You know why you're coming here, and its worth it. The tiramisu latte is so good. Although the coffee itself is just about above average, the tiramisu is the talking point, and thats what its marketed as, and thats what it delivers. If you really enjoy tiramisu, try the waffle, it was surprisingly very good.
Absolutely wonderful experience here. The man working there was incredibly nice and efficient in making my drink. The drink was INSANE. Tiramisu on top of a tiramisu latte was truly an experience I needed in my life. An absolute must try if you like tiramisu and fun drinks!!! The tiramisu latte with the tiramisu on top was $11, which was pretty reasonable imo with the tiramisu and coffee, like a dessert and drink on one😅😂 And the inside was so so cute. I will have to come back and grab a waffle and coffee and sit inside, because the inside was also so cute and relaxed! A super cute place to go to meet a friend and enjoy some yummy treats!
One of the most delicious dessert we have had in RI! The topping really puts it together and the chocolate sauce wasn’t too sweet either. We were surprised to see matcha drinks there and the banana matcha did not disappoint! 10/10
Zinneken’s is hands down the best waffle place we’ve ever been to! From the moment we walked in, the smell of fresh waffles and warm toppings was irresistible. The waffles were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and absolutely loaded with delicious toppings. Every bite was pure heaven. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making great recommendations and making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a sweet treat or relaxing with friends. If you’re a waffle lover, Zinneken’s is a must-visit. We’ve tried many places, but nothing compares to the quality, taste, and overall experience here. We can’t wait to come back!
I really enjoyed the waffles! They were very flavorful!!! I wish they had homemade ice cream. The dining area is pretty small. Parking is somewhat difficult. The staff were very nice & even told us to have a great night : ) Definitely try it! Definitely shareable portions.
