This place is pretty neat and the drinks are good. I decided to try the seasonal ice tea and was pleasantly surprised. The kick of mint in it does leave you feeling refreshed. It’s take out only, but tables have been placed in the governor/wickeden square so you could always sit there or go for a 5 minute walk and enjoy India Point Park. Overall, nice coffee shop!

I come out of my way most days for a cup of coffee here. The service and product are exceptional. My favorite coffee shop in the state. Keep up the good work

Very friendly staff, I enjoyed chatting with them. Good coffee! I would absolutely come back here!

Food is delicious. porridge and cookies are superb

I grew up in Providence and now live in Chicagoland. Visiting family since we are all vaccinated now. I love going to new coffee shops. This is hands down the best coffee shop in Providence!! Really great coffee and friendly service. After one day, the barista (Zoe) knew my name and my order. They also have great light breakfast items. Will definitely come back when I visit again.

I honestly disliked this place. Kind of surprised me because they have great reviews.Ill start with the coffee bc that was my biggest complaint. Ordered an iced mocha latte. My biggest complaint was the size to be honest. It came in a 12 oz cup. After ice, I received 8oz of coffee for $6. While $6 is fair across most coffee shops, thats in return for a 20-24 oz cup. So in reality, I wouldve paid 12$ for a normal large 24oz quantity. Now this would be moot if the coffee was AMAZING. However, sadly it wasnt. About average. I couldnt taste the espresso at all. And in a 12 oz cup, leads me to believe it was prob also a single shot. The mocha flavoring tasted like a legitimate cocoa powder. Which was really good. At the end. The coffee was average tasting, too small and over priced in my opinion.I provided a picture of the avocado toast instead of my coffee bc it was the better part of my experience there. The toast was thick and hearty and very good. More warm than toasty but thats not a legitimate complaint. Just preference. However I was disappointed to open the box and find a kind of DIY breakfast kit. Two pieces of bread and an avocado sliced in half with some freshly squeezed lime juice and dried chili flakes. The flakes added a unique kick that Ive never tried before. If you dont like spicy. Id definitely opt out of them. At 10$ tho, I feel this was just a little over priced especially since I had to make my own toast. The flavor was amazing otherwise tho.I gave this place 2 stars because I wasnt happy overall. Mainly just really expensive compared to other shops for what I got in return. The toast however was really good and paired with an average coffee. I cant complain about the taste. Just the price and DIY toast. I wouldnt go again personally. Id recommend it to someone with a warning its a bit expensive for what you get. They have a really good review overall tho. This is just my opinion and experience. So please keep that in mind.

The best coffee in Providence. The baristas are excellently trained and the beans they use are delicious.

I just devoured a salted chocolate chip cookie and Im sad its gone but wow it was amazing! Fresh from the oven. Very friendly folks, lovely cafe for a drink and a snack!

Did some work for the owners today and Diana brought me and my coworker a couple of their SeaSalt chocolate chip cookies... just saying,,, probably the best cookie in Providence! I can’t wait to try their coffee!🤘

Every time I come up to Providence I visit this shop. Great specialty coffee and well done small food items.

Loved the espresso had a simple latte but it was very good smooth and velvety. Very friendly staff. The place was busy alot of college kids here. I guess they know good coffee and good food.

Amazing little place with delicious food. Never miss ordering a few tacos besides your main dish (or go all in on tacos )!

I absolutely adore The Shop. Their coffee is easily some of the best in the state and I fully respect how theyre handling social distancing, mask wearing, and hygiene all along with excellent and friendly service!Their mocha is hands down my favorite.

I really loved this place; it’s quaint, it’s clean, it’s real ;). The espresso was excellent, the service was great, with smiles.I had the avocado toast, simple and perfect, includes chilli pepper flakes, how could you go wrong??!! The bread that accompanied the toast was very fresh and tasty.

Love this place! Quiches are to die for and great atmosphere inside!

Excellent coffee and great fresh food. Im particularly fond of thd chickpea salad and morning glory muffin.

Great espresso, cute shop, limited food options but they’re on point and wholesome.

We were there yesterday the shop has turned out to be a very non inviting and rude establishment. You cannot enter the establishment because of covid, the worse part is that you have to wait out in sub freezing temperatures and wait for some one to show up at the small plastic opening in the door and treat you with rude smarting off answers as if to put the customer down.I asked if there is any other place around here that offers seating we were told to go look for a park at the end of street and sit and eat there in 10 degree F weather.The menu was very confusing when asked for an explanation of items we were rudely told you buy sliced bred and spread things on it and that is what we offer we dont spread anything on the bread.I wish this place choose to close than to operate like thisAVOID this place and safe yourself some grief.

I’ve admittedly only had the Nitro brew but it’s awesome! Very friendly people and the prices are reasonable

Excellent service and quality coffee! Definitely would recommend to anyone! Support small businesses

I like the staff here a lot. The inside itself is pretty small and I haven’t eaten here in over a year so maybe that’s changed but i remember not loving the food so much here but I do love their mocha when I stop for coffee 💕 ☕️

Great spot for well made coffee and a bite to eat. Friendly staff and customers alike. Awesome place to connect and people watch out the window. Work friendly place with lots of people studying or working. Nice location. I’m a fan.

Just a great place to not only get incredible coffee, but also to get clean, healthy, delicious food!

The definition of a ‘cool’ spot. Cold brew coffee was amazing!

Beautiful little coffee shop. My macchiato was divine and the cultured butter and jam on toast really hit the spot.

I love everything about this place. Espresso is perfect! Staff is dreamy! If you like a great drink and supporting great people????this I your place

This had always been my favourite coffee place in Providence, and the staff really made me feel welcome when I first moved to this city three years ago. But today the pretty blond boy taking orders put my love affair on a break. He takes my order and then points to a screen, which is too far to see in proper details but close enough to be able to make out that there are three blue boxes on it. Then he says, You have the option to tip. So I say, Sure, you can press the middle box, not knowing the amount but assuming the middle option would be fair. He replies, Forty cents, thank you, followed by a string of pleasantries so overly effusive that Id be sure not to miss out on the passive aggressiveness.I would suggest that The Shop changes their pre-set tip options from percentages to flat amounts, e.g. $1 or $2, which I think is what they used to have. Or maybe they can move the screen closer to the window so people can actually read it. And if someone really wanted to tip forty cents, they dont deserve to be returned with snideness. Of course, this is the place with a mural of Trump on the exterior side wall (a sign says it isnt Trump but it sure looks like him), so I shouldnt be so surprised.The coffee was excellent though. As always.

While I’m not totally convinced Parlor coffee is as good as it get, the friendly and informative service will have me coming back again and again. I love the different options for espresso and they’re always good. Sometimes a little too acid forward, but never bad. I could sit and sip on that little nook for hours.

Today i went to grab a to-go order and the staff member was about as excited and friendly and sweet as anyone could ever imagine. this place is a great neighborhood spot but the service is what makes it truly excellent. love.

Employees here get to know you as a regular quickly, they like to recognize you by name and by your usualBest Mocha in town. Breakfast Porridge is really really good.The vibe here is great. Lots of people come in to stay for awhile and do work, read the newspaper, etc.I wish they were open later, though.

First time in Rhode Island and this iced latte was the best I’ve ever had. I’ve gone through so many iced lattes trying to find the best place in Massachusetts but not one can compare to how good this coffee is ! Next time I’m around I will definitely be coming here!

I really liked their coffee until an iced mocha gave me and my partner a burny sore throat :(

The coffee is delicious and the staff is kind and helpful.

Amazing coffee and food. Thank you for a real coffee. Well made. Sounds silly but it’s so hard to find a real coffee and as coffee drinkers from NZ we do appreciate a well made coffee. Such happy friendly staff also. Well done team. Most enjoyable experience.

What a beautiful and delicious ☕!

Food was excellent. Service great.

People here are very friendly and they had a nice blend of drinks and snacks. This is of youre looking for a nice place to have coffee and get a quick bite nothing super fancy. I had avacado and toast which was delicious!

Honestly some of the best coffee and snacks in Providence! Always a phenomenal experience and you can tell they love what they do

The honey and ricotta bread is out of this world. I also highly recommend the spiced latte!!

Nice little coffee shop near Brown University. Fantastic coffee and baked goods. Great outdoor seating area. Close to a lot of the other shops and restaurants in the area. Very eclectic and diverse guests. Great place for catching up with friends.

Awesome spot. Really nice staff! Door service during covid is really nice!

Loved this place! Top notch espresso, perfectly combined with simple but delicious breakfast / snack options (savory or sweet). The open layout and outside seating work well, too.

By far my favorite coffee shop in the PVD area. Great drinks, great food, single origin espresso (postponed for COVID), and friendly staff

Cookies out of this world

Maple latte was just right!☕

LOOOOOOVE THIS PLACE. Yes, my service and experience here warrants putting that in caps. Although small inside, it is worth trying to find a seat because the vibe is so chill here. Yes, there are plenty of people doing work on their computers, as with any coffee shop. However, there are plenty of seats in varying configurations, you just have to be willing to share a table with strangers, which is actually pretty fun because you get to meet new people. The staff here are SO incredibly friendly and upbeat, they make you want to stay and eat your food their for sure

I popped into this shop one morning while visiting Providence. The baristas were extremely friendly and helpful, with bubbly personalities. Its noticeable how carefully they prepare their drinks here. The coffee is high quality. My experience at The Shop was brief, but worth giving them some praise!

Fantastic Coffee! Great Portage! Tiny space that is perfect! A+

The quiche is so good! The coffee is also great, and the baristas are awesome. This is a great place to hang out for a short time and have a coffee/pastry, but I always feel like I shouldnt stay too long because there isnt much seating indoors. There is more outdoor seating, but I always seem to want to go here on a rainy or cold day (its very cozy, and they have newspapers)..

Excellent barista coffee. Wholesome small meals and snacks. Friendly staff.During colder months it’s difficult to find a place to sit. There are tables and seating outside when it’s warmer. Good location.Very friendly, student vibe.

Friendly staff, delicious coffee, great ambiance. Wish it had more indoor seating!

Would go back again based on the service alone. Staff was super friendly. Ordered a nitro brew. Was given twenty five cents off for bringing my own cup. It was good nitro. I would like to try a hot coffee next time.

These words won’t do this place justice! They went absolutely above and beyond for me today. Thank you so much for your help.

Not only do they have great coffee, but the staff are so amazingly friendly, and the chocolate chip cookies are the BEST! Can’t miss.

As a lover of great espresso, I was very happy to find a coffee shop serving very high quality, carefully curated and brewed, coffee. The place is a little small so a wait may be in order but it is totally worth it and it adds to the intimate feeling. Had the opportunity to chat with barista JP about their process and it was clear that he really knows his stuff. Enjoy a great example of the amazing coffee movement we live in right now.

A nice cafe shop with a great atmosphere. Nice and friendly staff. Good to relax while have a coffee. It is a bit pricey, though.

Just moved out here and while on my quest to find the best latte in town I stumbled upon this little place. The coffee is good. Hopefully not the best in town because Im definitely not going back. So if the coffee is good, why am I never going back the question to be asked. Well, its simple: Customer service. I get it each cup is an art piece that you put a little bit of your soul into, but that doesnt mean you can talk to people however you like.

Great little place with excellent coffee and delicious artisan breads and pastries. The cold brew on tap just cant be beat. The shop also features a friendly staff and an outdoor seating area to enjoy the lovely neighborhood while having your morning coffee.

I really love the owner of this store! If you become a regular, he takes the time to chat with you as well as educate you on your coffee (the dos and donts... dont ask for cinnamon, they dont have it bc apparently it takes away from the coffee!)

Very good coffee. Very nice service and nice atmosphere

Always so crowded on Sunday morning. Awesome coffee.

Prices are about the highest you will find in Providence. If you bring your own cup, make sure to let the cashier know the size so you dont get overcharged.P.S. thanks for the note, jp. updated my review in light of the info you provided!

The food is great, the coffee is great, but the customer service is not good. They are incredibly slow. When we ordered two things, they forgot to charge us for one. Instead of making it on the house, they made us come back inside to pay for it, and we had to wait in line yet again. Not cool!

Very nice coffee shop. The barista is very helpful in explaining the coffee of the day. Nice atmosphere.

Coffee was superb and the shop was quaint. I enjoyed the oatmeal breakfast too. Not being from RI, it was exactly as Id expect RI to be.

Great nitro cold brew & snacks

Very good coffee! They use parlor coffee and brew espressos on a la morrozoco. It’s not air conditioned and seating can be limited so it’s not necessarily a place to hang out for a long time.

The employees are always super friendly and welcoming and they make a great cappucino! Some of the best cold brew around as well.

The single-origin drop coffee was fantastic, but the baked goods and food offerings stole the show. Very limited seating, but a great boho vibe. This is what every neighborhood coffee shop should aspire to be.

I dont write many reviews because its just not my shtick, but I came in today around 10:30 to grab a coffee. The blonde barista that waited on me clearly needs an attitude adjustment, or needs to be retrained. If she doesnt like what shes doing why is she working with an otherwise great staff? What a turn off.

Had a really smooth and velvety latte. It was nice. Also they have a change table in the bathroom which was handy.

The guy working here was incredibly sweet! He was very helpful and it turned out it was his birthday! Happy birthday, guy who taught me about what a macchiato really is. This place is definitely going to be my new go-to.

Very good place to spend the time. Good coffee and excellent service!

One of my coffee go tos always

Very cute, hip, coffee shop. Theyve done well with the small space. Great little patio outside and huge store front windows to provide beautiful natural lighting. Good WiFi for me to work on my computer. Nitro Iced Coffee to get me jazzed for said work. I didnt eat, but the plates I saw around me made me wish I had. I will definitely be back!

Came here to try the nitro brewed coffee and it was great. Also got a couple pastries and were really good. Got a coffee to go no problem. Excellent and friendly service.

Cosy..the fare is simple but in an uber-appealing (there must be a better descriptive word. ..but you get it. ..right?)...now kind of way. .I wanted everything on the menu. ..be prepared to open your wallet

I used to really enjoy coming here, but the service has slipped over the last couple of months. My go-to drink has been the cortado and I dont have any complaints about the coffee, but its not worth waiting in line and dealing with baristas with attitude when youre debating trying different drinks or trying to learn more about the offerings. Youre better off at Daves Coffee or Bolt.

I’ve been here three times since the place opened the last of which was yesterday. Every time I go in here I feel like the staff is judging me. I wanted an avocado toast to go and they said they don’t make that to go. So I left. Never going back. Are you telling me all of your other foods are also eat in only? That’s absurd.

Love this cafe! My fave... Amazing nitro cold brew coffee, alternative dairy free milk options, vegan food options. Really cool cafe... Great service. Has a restroom and nearby a great donut shop TOO! (PVDonuts(vegan options!) case you like donuts with your coffee like me.

The best coffee in PVD!

Delicious ice mocha. Beautiful interior

Cool little spot! Friendly staff! Good espresso!

Nice place and very fresh but not much space to sit.

I had a few issues with this coffee place. For starters, they charge an extra 50 cents for honey. Its just like any sweetener, why should it be extra. Every other coffee place I know has either a free dispenser or packets of honey, free at your disposal. Second, the milk he used for my coffee separated in my drink, curdling, meaning it was not good anymore. If im going to pay almost 4 dollars for a coffee, I really dont want expired milk in it. I could go on about minute details, but I would rather give my business to the coffee exchange, which is 3 minutes away from this place, and is 10 times better, with friendlier staff as well. Do not go here.

This coffee shop is the peak for quality ingredients and service. Try the cold brew

The best jam and butter on toast Ive ever had and super friendly employees!!

My first time being there..going back there soon love it nice people to talk too..

Great coffee and down-to-earth atmosphere.

This is my favorite coffee shop in RI. Great coffee, and great coffee shop feel. Also, the porridge is amazing!

Really cute! Fills up very fast so it can be crowded. Nice service too.

Amazing coffee

Great coffee, snacks, staff, and atmosphere. Literally the whole package.

After frequenting this a establishment a few times I feel like my experience this morning merits a note.After walking up the street with a few boxed donuts with a group of friends we wanted to enjoy a nice coffee and support a small business.While ordering inside with a friend a few others chose to wait at the tables located out front. In the time it took to order a coffee one of the baristas took the time to tell part of the group they weren’t welcome - due to the fact they had boxed goods from another establishment.This is normally understandable, as there is no signage indicating that this is frowned upon, especially when purchasing food and drinks FROM THE SHOPThe same individual also made it a point to chastise me over ordering a cup of coffee to go because coffee in plastic wasn’t sustainable. If they were that concerned why not provide biodegradable cups to begin with? Ironic.So the crux of this is why would you would harass a patron to stay when you explicitly told them they weren’t welcome?Take your business elsewhere

Cozy atmosphere, fantastic coffee & food, and super sweet staff. Love this place!

Best Oatmilk Cortado I have ever had.

Standard coffee and espresso selection. Don’t like that they put ice in their nitro cold brew.

A little cosy place with great espresso coffee and cakes.

Moving to Providence and a good coffee shop is key to my life. I got a place two blocks away from The Shop just so I could stop by for my morning espresso.

Favorite coffee shop in PVD. Coffee is brilliant. Cold brew on nitro-tap is out of this world. Food is simple yet delicious.
