Cafe Ava
48b Rolfe Square, Cranston, RI
Crema's Take
“Cafe Ava brings Latin-inspired creativity to Cranston's coffee scene with standout drinks like their Tres Leche Iced Coffee and Sweet Corn Latte that genuinely surprise first-time visitors. Beyond the coffee, this spot nails the full cafe experience with housemade arepas like Papa's Cuban and pastries (their pumpkin chocolate chip bread gets consistent praise) that make it as much a destination for breakfast and lunch as it is for specialty drinks. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you can linger over an inventive cold brew or grab something delicious before a meeting, though fair warning—they do charge for customizations like extra light ice.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. Good for meetings spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

First time here and I recommend. I ordered the Tres Leche Iced coffee. First sip and it got me! I also ordered a sandwich, Papa’s Cuban on a arepa. It was delicious! I’m definitely going back soon.
This Latin coffee shop is top! The arepa “Papa’s Cuban” (chicken instead of pernil & add house sauce) was delicious and full of flavor. The pumpkin chocolate chip bread was absolutely amazing — 10/10. All of the drinks (cajeta latte, fresas con crema matcha & hibiscus tea) we…
My first time trying them. I'm from Boston and this trip was worth it. I don't drink coffee but I tried their Tres Leche Latte.... amazing. I had their Tres Golpes was so bomb. Wish they had more seating but the cafe is so beautiful with all the colors and Latin music and art…
