Coffee Connection North Providence
1744 Mineral Spring Ave, North Providence, RI
Crema's Take
“Coffee Connection in North Providence has the bones of a solid neighborhood spot with standout pastries like their celebrated double chocolate muffin and reliable breakfast sandwiches, though recent visits suggest the kitchen is struggling with consistency and speed even during quiet morning hours. Early risers will appreciate their status as an early opener, but come prepared to be patient—multiple reviewers report surprisingly long waits for simple orders like bagels and cold brew despite minimal crowds. If you're craving their better days, the nostalgia and occasional delicious bite might be worth it, but expectations should be tempered.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Opens early.

Stopped by to get an iced latte. It was a very strange iced latte as it was filled with foam on top. It was ok, i needed caffeine and it did the trick. I did get a wonderful tomato basil egg sandwich that was filled with two egg patties which is unusual,and bacon which was…
