    Matcha and latte
    Jin Young Y.

    Coffee was so blend so as matcha. Not friendly service ..would never come back. The vibe was good though so if you are just going for the vibe it's okay

    Breakfast Sandwich and Large Iced Chai with oat milk
    Mikaela L.

    Always a go-to in downtown! The breakfast sandwich is delicious; I love the combination of a the light, fluffy egg with the roasted onions and tomato jam. The flavors are balanced really well, and it's super filling! The chai isn't my favorite in town, but it gets the job done! The staff here are always so nice and welcoming, which I always appreciate. It gets very busy, especially on weekends. The wait is never too long, but it does get a little loud if you're trying to work/study/read!

    Such a cute and cozy coffee shop! I stopped in to get some work done and ended up having a great experience. I ordered a cappuccino and the avocado toast with bacon--it came on a large slice of bread and was absolutely delicious. The server was super friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I joined their rewards program while I was there, and I spent a couple of hours working in a relaxing, quiet atmosphere with great coffee and food. What I love most about this place is how comfortable and quaint it is--perfect for getting work done or just enjoying some personal time. I'll definitely be back. It's an amazing spot for a meeting, solo time, or just a cozy coffee break.

    Bolt Coffee has multiple locations in Providence. I've been to their Downtown location - 61 Washington Street, Providence, RI 02903 - a few times now. I like how they always have specials and sells knead donuts. The first time I went to Bolt Coffee, I had their matcha latte and knead donut. Most recently, I had their October special: Pumpkin Pie Latte. It is made with house espresso, steamed milk, and sweetened with house-made Pumpkin Spice Syrup. Their drinks are always so good. There are tables inside and outside. It is very cozy inside and I spent a few hours here with a friend. It was easy to order at the counter and service was quick.

    Yogurt Parfait and Iced Matcha Latte

    The iced matcha latte is exactly how I like it - slightly sweet (via honey) and very well mixed. Would 100% come back for this. I ordered the yogurt parfait and the yogurt was lumpy. Didn't seem spoiled but was not appetizing. I'd try it again before I swear it off but not exactly how I wanted to start my day. Overall - I'd come again!

    Nitro Cold Brew filled with ice
    Kerry N.

    Cute little coffee shop in downtown Providence. Service is pretty fast and they have a great selection of coffee and food. I'm a little annoyed that they put ice in the Nitro Cold Brew. The ice disrupts the point of nitrogen and the smooth velvety taste and texture is lost. Not sure why coffee shops choose to do this when the "nitro cold brew" is already cold. I would have order an iced coffee if that's what I wanted.

    I would have given 2 stars but rude staff seems to be a recurring theme at Sawyer's…read more I visited Sawyer on the west side of Providence in March. The space itself is interesting -- I understand the location has even been used as a filming location for a movie -- and the coffee and food we had were both quite good. What stood out, unfortunately, was the atmosphere created by the staff. During my visit the café was less than half full, but employees were very actively directing where people could and could not sit in what otherwise appeared to be open seating. At one point I watched a staff member speak sharply to a customer while waving a sign that said "No laptops at the bar." The confusing part was that the customer didn't appear to have a laptop at all. The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and awkward to witness. Taken together, the tone of the staff came across as petty and uninviting, which really undermined what could otherwise be a pleasant place to stop for coffee. The drinks and food were good, but the atmosphere made the experience feel tense. Visitors may want to keep in mind that seating and house rules seem to be enforced quite strictly.

    I came for a drink after dinner and sat at the bar with a friend. This is such a cute little…read moreneighborhood spot! We had tasty wine and the server even let us try two types before deciding. Everyone was so nice! Can't wait to go back!

    Geoff's has been a favorite of mine since my days at Classical High in the late 80's and…read morerediscovering it when I worked down the street from their old location back in 2010. Their sandwiches are (to steal a line) superlative! You can get an awesome plain Jane deli sandwich (ie Turkey sub, ham & cheese, corned beef, etc) OR go through the literal DOZENS of concoctions of their signature sandwiches...you can't lose! Tucked in on South Main St now down by the pedestrian bridge, you can people watch the pedestrians (usually coming & going from either financial district/Downtown or the court houses as you await your culinary masterpiece to arrive)...you won't be disappointed! My current faves are Jen & Berry or The Juggs; but I have never had something that wasn't pleasing. There are long tables, so if you are by yourself or a small party & it is packed, you might have to share; but don't look at it as a drawback...look at it as connecting with a fellow human being(s).

The choices seem endless, but we finally selected: * Rachel * Roger Williams (hold the onions and tiger sauce) The former is a perennial favorite while the latter was a new choice. The Rachel was excellent, as usual, with tender pastrami, and nicely melted cheese. I also liked the Roger Williams which had a tasty stuffing. It was a huge sandwich, warm and nicely toasted. That said, I always prefer real turkey over the coldcut variety any day! 4.5 stars rounded up to 5.

    I came here as part of Providence Coffee Crawls. I had been here before and loved my experience, so…read moreI was looking forward to visiting again. The first time I came, it was a rainy weekday and this time it was a sunny weekend, so I was expecting an even larger crowd; and my prediction was correct. The line was just out the door but because of their awesome staff, the line was moving very quickly. While we waited in line, we could watch them making pastries through the glass, a couple feet in front of us. I admired that level of transparency. When we were third in line, the kindest lady asked us whether we'd be eating in or taking out and she took down our name to help us find a table when it came time. She did the same for the rest of the people in line. She also gave us some recommendations, including the cinnamon bun - apparently they're so good kids cry when they sell out. I didn't intend to order anything with my drink, but I couldn't get the cinnamon bun out of my head so I ordered it along with my iced spiced chai latte. The hen (I think it's their logo) on the aprons of the employees are super cute. We did secure a table. The tables are close together to maximize the number of people who can sit down but I didn't mind. I love their art all around, mostly of birds which I am obsessed with. I love that they have a lot of natural lighting coming through their tall windows. I also like the navy blue and white theme they have going on. The chai latte was perfect. It was the right color (a dark tan), meaning the ratio of tea and milk was good and I could taste a lot of the spices. The cinnamon bun blew my expectations away. The second my teeth made. contact with the icing, it was a magical feeling. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it tasted like, but the closest I got was dulce de leche. It is truly unlike any other cinnamon bun I have ever had. The dough is soft and there is a good amount of cinnamon. It's also $4 which is not bad. I had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

    I bought a cinnamon bun ($5) and it was basic. Once you bite it, you realize it is just a brioche…read moredonut with some frosting. There were no cinnamon-butter layers inside it. The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside. Also, it was not large in size, anyone can eat it in one sitting. The worker who took my order was very friendly and it is so nice/comfortable inside there.
