Crema's Take

Tucked in the basement beneath Brown University's student center, The Underground Coffee is a beloved neighborhood gem run with genuine care by baristas who clearly love what they do—reviewers rave equally about the exceptional espresso-based drinks and the welcoming, chill atmosphere that makes it perfect for lingering over pastries or catching up with friends. What sets this spot apart is its palpable sense of community; it's the kind of place where the baristas remember you, the vibes feel authentically lived-in rather than designed, and a simple latte becomes memorable because of the skill and kindness behind it.

This is my favorite corner of Brown. The baristas, the food, the atmosphere are unbeatable! Shoutout especially to the fantastic and talented Tevah!!! Make sure to pay a visit when you find yourself walking through campus or attend one of the many awesome events hosted there.

One amazing barista sprayed lavender syrup on my hands but it was nice. Smelled really good for the rest of my abysmal time ignoring readings. Xoxo.

Chill AF, just see like the sign says. Great place to enjoy a coffee and pastries while checking out the Brown University campus. Located in the basement under the student Union. To the your coffee out in the lawn and do some people watching.

The coffee is just absolutely incredible.... the absolutely incredible vibes just swirling around in there.... the baristas... they’re so kind! Go there. Make sure you get the latte. The ratio of milk to espresso is Perfect. How do they do it? Idk. But they do! So good! Ughhhh
