    Flan matcha
    Andrea A.

    The PVD location of Cafe Ava opened pretty recently, so we went to check it out! The space is really beautiful and spacious, with lots of seating. They have WiFi, so it's a nice spot to get some work done, which is what we did. Service was friendly, but I think my order got lost somehow, which they quickly addressed after I brought it up. I ended up getting an iced Flan Matcha Latte, which was way too sweet for my taste with not enough matcha flavor to balance. I did enjoy the little cookie on top though. 6/10 would maybe recommend for now, I'd need to give them another try.

    Soo sooo good! The place itself was beautiful! The ambiance is on point. Coffee and egg sandwich was delicious. My friends highly recommend this place and now I know why !

    WOW we are so glad yelp brought us here! Beautiful location, so much seating, phenomenal drinks + food- and the service was so quick and everyone was incredibly kind. The cold brew was perfect, and we loved the Nutella banana bread

    Providence Location
    Ludovica F.

    Ever since finding their Instagram page, I had been looking forward to visiting " Cafe Ava" at their Providence location. As a fan of dulce de leche and all things Latin culture, I couldn't wait to try their renowned " Dulce de Leche Latte" and the Dulce de leche cupcake. Needless to say, I was NOT disappointed. Their dulce de leche latte is DIVINE. It felt as though I was eating the cake itself with every sip of the coffee. They must have perfected the recipe because it was one of the best iced lattes I have ever had! I can tell the owners and the staff care about the quality of their coffee, pastries and the ingredients overall! Next, in regard to the ambiance of the shop, it is very nicely decorated and has a very welcoming feel. They offer a private room for individuals who need the space for studying or a meeting, and they have a separate area for guests who want to have a sit down brunch. The space is quite large, so it does not feel crowded even with many customers. Lastly, Important to note if you're visiting this location before work or during the week: it gets VERY busy in the morning, so I would recommend arriving as soon as they open or you will have to wait for 10-15 minutes in line. Having said that--- the wait is still 100% worth it to support a small, local, Latin owned business!!! :) I will for sure come back to try more of their delicious coffees and pastries!!

    The cafe is so spacious and cute. Lots of seating. I ordered the cajeta iced latte with oat milk decaf and it was delicious! Haven't had a bad coffee there. Its so rich and flavorful. The service was fast and I will definitely be a regular. There's street parking all around too.

There was a bit of a wait around 9:30am on a Sunday but I can appreciate that the sandwiches are made fresh. I got the Sunday Sandwich and wanted to swap the bacon for an extra egg; however, I later saw the worker charged me for an extra egg instead. I wish they allowed the substitution especially when the cost is comparable. The Sunday Sandwich was delicious and well balanced with fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked over medium eggs, super crispy hashbrowns, and the thin bolo bread which I was a big fan of. Chive On was a good try as it combined the savory eggs with the sweet honey and a little spice from the sriracha along with the creaminess from the cream cheese. If you're a texture person, you would love this one! From a price and fullness perspective, the Sunday Sandwich was the winner but both really great tries!

Location: The location has a cozy, casual yet modern. You can definitely come dressed casually, but it's also nice enough to dress up if you want. I've only been here for breakfast, so I'm not sure how dinner is. I would definitely recommend making a reservation since it gets pretty busy. This place is perfect for a chill family time, first date, or just to catch up with friends ! Parking is easy with both street parking and a lot right in front, which makes it super convenient. Service: The service has always been great when I've gone. The servers are friendly, attentive, and get the job done, no complaints there. I'll definitely keep coming back, especially in the wintertime!

When we heard it was a bakery by day, we thought it might be awkward for a dinner service but boy were we wrong. The space was so warm and relaxing, cozy and inviting. And the food and drink?

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.

This a local spot, if you know, you know, and if you don't, now you do :) Let me just say that if there is one thing to really focus in on, it's consistency. In today's economy with everything so expensive you sometimes feel like you don't get the best value for money spent. So let me tell you, these guys and girls nail it every single time. First off it's a super cozy spot, perfectly lit with a high end tavern type feel. Service is always prompt and friendly. Ask anyone working and they're happy to help you out. You'll never hear let me get your server. Drinks ! Specialty drafts that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else. Drinks that are so well thought out and properly made. The wife hasn't been able to complain once ;) and that's saying something. The dishes speak for themselves just look at the pics. Who makes sausage cups for dipping ??! This place does. The wife had a watermelon salad here years ago and hasn't stopped talking about it. There is literally something here for everyone and every pallet preference. You have to try their brunch ! It's nice to see a place that really prides itself on what it serves. The wife and I were able to get a sitter and finally have a dinner night and Rogue never disappoints. Getting into the city can be a pain sometimes but it's so worth it coming here. They buy their products from local sources and they're a local business. I love to support it and can't wait to eat here again. For me to take the time to write this is saying a lot but the guys and girls who make this place run, really deserve the recognition. I hope you try them out.

Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!
