5 Stars for a great strawberry matcha latte and phenomenal cappuccino…read more This coffee and matcha shop has so much more to it than a typical coffee shop. It has a ton of Japanese treats in the fridge as well as shelves. They also have a bar and sell wine and fun cocktails. They brew Bolt coffee (a local brewer and coffee shop) and make a truly exceptional cappuccino. Like, really really good third wave style espresso drinks that I've not found at other shops in Providence so far (two week visit). I was initially worried their iced strawberry matcha latte might be too sweet, but that was fortunately not at all the case! It was balanced and mild. Just be sure to stir it up! They also have some pastries and baked goods from Seven Stars Bakery, and we thoroughly enjoyed a small lemon cake. We'll likely be back in our last few days in town because we became quick fans!

Ordered: Iced French Vanilla Espresso Latte (~$7) + Espresso…read moreTeddy (~$3) Iced Mont Blanc (~$8): cold brew coffee with a slightly sweet orange flavor and a smooth orange forward cold foam topping Aya's take: Ceremony is conveniently located close to Brown University and I can totally see this spot being popular during the school year. I like the branding, brightness of the cafe, and the fact that there's a decent amount of seating. I got the Iced French Vanilla Espresso Latte + Espresso Teddy which was well-made, bold, and enjoyable. I think the Espresso Teddy is actually made with cold brew and not espresso which I expected given the name and would have preferred. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the slow melt and the boost of caffeine I got as I kept sipping. And it's super cute! The Iced Mont Blanc was also a good try; the sweet orange flavor was subtle and surprisingly enjoyable adding a bright taste to each sip. If I'm ever back in Providence, I would totally come back and maybe try their matcha drinks.

To be honest, I was originally going to Kung Fu Tea, but I found a parking spot right in front of…read moreTen One Tea House so I took it as a sign to try something new. I went in with a craving for something sweet, creamy, and cold, but ended up going for something light and fruity: the peach Yakuit slush. It was only $0.80 more to go from a medium to a large so I went for it and also added aloe for $1. The total was around $7-$8. I did use one of the two kiosks they have since it was my first time there and I wanted to take my time exploring the menu. It was super easy to use, only accepts card payments, and will send you a text when the order was placed and when it's ready. While I waited, I took in the details of the place, including the soft pastel colors and also the theme of squirrels which are one of my favorite animals. I liked the art on the walls, and they've used the space well with some tables along the window looking out to Thayer street, while others hugging the entrance ramp. I did not interact with the staff but they looked like they were killing it behind the counter to push out orders in a timely manner. When I did get my order, I thought it was pretty with a rose pink slush, bright pieces of peaches, and bottom layer of white aloe. I tried shaking it a bit to try to mix it up but it didn't work too well. They have straws with a thick opening to get the chunks through. The slush was very flavorful and a good consistency.

My friend and I saw this place while driving through downtown and since we were getting dinner in…read morethe area, we popped in for some boba. I tried the Pu-er milk tea and if you like Hojicha, jasmine, or any earthy tea, this one is for you. It has almost no caffeine, which was a plus for me. The boba was delicious, and my friend enjoyed her jasmine milk tea. I'd recommend this spot though it seems to be the only boba tea shop I could find in the downtown area. Parking downtown is atrociously expensive, so good luck.

Rating: 4.5 I've…read morebeen meaning to try this place for a while but decided to try because i passed by and was in the area. It's a small tea shop in providence that offer toppings such as boba and sides like taiwanese chicken. They offer different tea toppings like boba, crystal, jelly, ..etc and also sweetness, milk substitute and ice options. Parking is street parking only and can be difficult to find during busy time. Inside is nicely decorated and has good aesthetic. Seatings are limited so I would not expect to find one unless you are lucky. I guess the name of the place is derived from cha which means tea in Chinese and Daruma who is a founder of zen Buddhism. They have a mascot who looks like Buddha holding a bubble tea. I ended up ordering black milk tea with boba and taiwanese popcorn chicken with seaweed and salt/pepper. Tea came out right away and was pretty good. Good tea flavor but maybe a bit too sweet. Boba is home made and its nice and chewy and no inconsistency. I would do 75% sugar and less ice next time for my liking. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was juicy and flavorful. We also got lucky with seating so we sat down to enjoy their food and drink. Service was good and no issues. Overall the place is pretty good. I think everything was good quality and definitely one of the better tea/fried chicken place around RI. If it was in more convenient location I would definitely come back often but I would likely only stop by if I'm already around the area. I did like the place.

We got bubble tea for take out. I got the brown sugar bubble milk tea. The bubble tea comes with swirl of brown sugar so I mixed as much as i can before trying. I thought that the tea was okay. Typical sweet milk tea. Maybe a bit less sweet than I'm used to. Bobas were nice and chewy and sweet. The boba did get squished together so it was difficult to eat as it got stuck in the straw. Overall the place was okay. Maybe it was one off but I had better bubble tea else where and some other known franchise are more consistent.

Tried the Mango Sago. Refreshing and tropical. My drink leaned a little on the sweeter side, but…read moreyou can adjust the sugar level to your liking. Mango sago is hard to find in RI and I usually have to get it in Boston so having it right on Thayer is a win. You can order at the counter or on the self-serve screen, which is convenient if you want to take your time looking through the menu. The shop itself is small and narrow with very limited seating. Definitely not the kind of spot you'd bring a laptop to camp out, it's more of a grab-and-go place. That said, it's clean and the staff are friendly. Bonus: it's open later than the other tea spots on and around Thayer.

This time i got the seasonal Pokemon collab blue drink. It tasted very sweet and artificial even with 70% sweetness. Service is always quick and good. Overall it's a great spot for quick bubble tea.

I love finding local spots like this, especially when the customer service is very friendly and helpful, I didn't feel rush ordering as a first timer!

Rating: 4.5 Came to…read moretry this ice cream place i've been meaning to try after getting dinner at there there as I've noticed it's right next to it. It's a small local ice-cream shop with variety of unique ice cream options. Inside is small and there are not really seatings to expect to take them outside or bring it home. They have a big blackboard at the top that shows their menu and also has ipad that has menus as well. They offer ice-cream sandwiches, ice cream tacos, push pops, and cones. I got their almond coconut chocolate ice cream taco. It was very chocolaty with hint of almonds and coconut flavor. The crunchy shell with chocolate was tasty. A bit heavy and rich but to be expected. Service is quick as they seem to have all the ice-cream already prepped in the freezer. Overall, the place was good. Another unique Ice cream shop in the area which is always welcome. Would like to coke back yo try their other type of ice-creams.
