This cute coffee shop inside the mall is conveniently located next to the Apple Store, so one can grab a quick cup of coffee while waiting for their phone or MacBook to be serviced. I had never been here before so I wanted to try one of their specialty drinks. As it was close to Saint Patrick's Day, I tried their St Patty's Day cold brew, made with mocha and peppermint syrup. The drink was initially very minty BUT as the ice melted and the coffee had time to mix with the other ingredients it became a very delicious drink :) next time I want to try one of their more traditional drinks, but it was still a good experience nonetheless! read more

Super cute coffee shop located in the shopping center. The coffee options were creative and delicious. I got the Girl Scout latte, and it was wonderful! The girl behind the counter was super sweet and welcoming. There are a few chairs and a counter for seating options. Highly recommend stopping by! I loved it so much that I visited twice while in town for only two days :) read more

Decided to finally try this cute little coffee shop in the providence place mall, and I am glad i did! I would consider this a specialty coffee shop. They have all the types of coffee you would order; from regular coffee to cortados. They have many different flavor shots to add to your drink as well. I just ordered an iced coffee with pumpkin spice flavor and it was delicious! No bitter after taste and very smooth. Must try if you need a nice wake me up before shopping! read more

The Coffee Cup is such a cute spot with great aesthetic vibes -- cozy, bright, and the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay awhile. I ordered a hot matcha without milk, and it was delicious. Smooth, well-balanced, and not overly bitter. Simple order, but they did it right. Only thing is they are definitely over priced. read more

Love stopping by The Coffee Cup for their speciality lattes and their Redbull Refresher. I usually add lemonade and a flavoring to my refresher - it hits the spot when you need to work a long shift at the mall. They have a nice selection of baked goods as well. I really liked the cinnamon babka. They have a rewards system as well which is really great if you go often. I would definitely recommend trying their seasonal drinks. Staff is always friendly and service is pretty quick as well. read more

I always notice people sitting, with laptops and different treats inside and today was the day to give it a shot~ I ordered a ice matcha latte and the barista offered if I wanted to add sweet cold foam, where a large list was pointed out above the counter, of all the flavors offered. It was such a long list, and I was pleasantly surprised! I got a lavender cold foam, matcha latte! I was having an off day, and the staffs simple kind treatment and and patience of me picking out a good treat for myself made my day~ Clean and chill place to stop and take a shopping breather! read more

Was on our way to another coffee place in the mall, but the ambiance of The Coffee Cup stopped us in our tracks. The storefront is bright, yet calm and we knew we had to stop in! I ordered a brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte and the person who took our order helped my husband decide in an iced strawberry green tea. Both drinks surpassed our expectations! They were so delicious and exactly what we needed. We also ordered a warm blueberry muffins that was incredible as well. Do yourself a favor and bypass the larger chains in the mall. Stop into The Coffee Cup instead. I promise you won't regret it! read more

The staff is friendly, the shop is clean, and I enjoy their assortment of bakery items and ready made grab and go snacks in the cold case.

This coffee shop was okay, just okay. Firstly, I want to commend the barista for her fantastic service and friendly demeanor. She was so cheerful and interacting with her brought a lot of light into my day. The coffee itself was just fine...? I could have probably gotten the same experience going to any other chain coffee shop and based on the price point I would hope to find something more unique or higher quality. Additionally the baked goods did not look too appetizing. I think I would come here if I were in the area, but wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

Service: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Welcoming vibe as you walk by. The ambient drawn us in. We were in need of coffee and hoping it was our fix. As you walk in there are seats on your left and right. The cashier is about 15 feet from entrance. It has an outdoor feel because of the green plant back wall. The cashier was very nice and energetic. Orders were taken with ease. We ordered a hot cappuccino and iced cold brew black. Both drinks came out perfect. Cappuccino has good amount of foam. Iced cold brew black was very refreshing and smooth. Drinks came out quickly and with quality. We didn't think we'd find something good. Thought it would've been Dunkin' quality, but it's 100 times better! Price is reasonable. They have croissants and bakery items that looked good. Will have to try them on our future visits. We can only recommend the two drinks we ordered. read more

The espresso drinks here are surprisingly really good. They use a la marzocco which I was excited to see. The espresso coming out of the portafilter looked like a syrup and could see good crema on the shots. My order was made perfectly and the staff cranked through about 4 drinks before mine like it was second nature, making the wait really short. The old "display only" bakery items in the case were a bit off putting since they looked they have been hangin' out there for days. read more

I walked into a space that is bright and well designed, with large windows bringing in natural light on a sunny day and a layout that works for both sitting with a drink and getting some work done. The matcha program is the reason most people come here. I noticed the menu follows seasons and trends in a way that keeps the offering from feeling static, and the flavor combinations go beyond what most cafes in the area attempt. I tried the strawberry matcha, which is the most liked drink here, and it was decent. The hojicha latte is a strong alternative for anyone who wants something with a roasted, earthier quality rather than the grassy brightness of standard matcha. Sweetener is an add on rather than included by default, which is worth knowing when you place your order, particularly if you are accustomed to cafes that automatically offer a simple syrup option. The menu also extends into wine and cocktails for evening visits, which gives the space a different function than a typical daytime cafe. Consistency on the matcha is mixed, with occasional issues around mixing and clumping that affect both the flavor and the texture. When it is well made, the quality is evident. The cafe gets crowded and loud during peak hours, so visiting on a weekday or arriving early on weekends gives you a better experience of the space. Parking in the area is manageable compared to most of Providence. For a matcha focused cafe with a unique menu and a bright, comfortable space, Ceremony is worth knowing about.

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 was sold as soon as I read their menu and saw that they had a Halva latte. This is one of my favorites and I can only get it at cafes near Boston. If you haven't had it, it's a must try. Halva is a sweet confection that is sesame based. Brown Bee definitely delivered on this one. I hope it stays on the menu! My wife had a pistachio latte that is made with homemade pistachio syrup. It was 10/10. We didn't plan on eating, but we did end up getting one of their cinnamon rolls with a homemade cream cheese frosting. It was fantastic! They have plenty of seating and although we waited inline, there were several seats available and we got to enjoy our drinks and cinnamon roll. This place is worth the wait in line. We will be going back again this weekend. I want to try the everything croissant with cream cheese baked inside! We may also try one of their breakfast sandwiches. My only recommendation is that they add little chalk boards for each of the croissants with what they are as they had to keep telling everyone what each one was. Still a 10/10.

Also, within a block of Brown University making the ambience modern, perky and resilient. I was thrilled at the food options being that it's a cafe. My wife and I started with a vegan breakfast sandwich (brioche rolls filled with vegan egg, sausage and cheese) I washed mine down with an Italian soda which was not too bad, but it was canned. Of course, I can't be in New England and not have New England clam chowder. The chowder had plenty and I mean plenty of clam in it but it did get a little cold due to the weight of my server. The service was absolutely amazing. The young lady was so nice and I got the feeling it was her first day though. So, grace given there. She tried hard to remain friendly and positive. She even returned to ask if my wife would prefer to add vanilla and cinnamon to her latte. Nice touch! The manager training our server had his hands full but still took the time to be nice to us. Caffe Nero was filling up with people while my server was busy trying to prepare my order. She's only human and I could see her becoming visibly anxious and overwhelmed however she held it for appearance sakes. Hats off to her! No complaints about anything because I've worked in customer service for many years and they all did a fantastic job. Thank you Caffe Nero for a remarkable and rememberable experience.

My kids each ordered a latte, while my wife and I both enjoyed flat whites. We also ordered breakfast sandwiches and bagels with cream cheese. Everything came out quickly, and we were very happy with both the quality of the food and the excellent service. Overall, it was a great breakfast experience, and I would definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the Providence area.

There was a great selection of fresh artisan breads to choose from. I ended up with the durum loaf, which was perfect since I planned to make an olive oil dipping sauce. The bread was exactly what I hoped for crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, airy with a mix of large and small holes, and full of flavor. I also couldn't resist picking up two Valentine heart sugar cookies with jam because they were just too cute. The only minor downside was that the employee who helped me wasn't very smiley. Not rude at all, and my order was handled quickly, but it felt a bit different from the warm cafe vibe you might expect. Prices are higher than if you went to a mom and pop bakery but this was expected. Overall, a great stop for quality bread.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, even though I personally do not need help in translating the Japanese labels to English, whenever my wife goes there, everyone is very helpful. She works only a few blocks away in Downcity, so going there to shop or eat is super easy. She does not have to find parking there when she can simply walk there. We often go there to have our favorite - katsudon and gyudon. She loves these donnuri dishes. I showed her how to make them at home, as they are super simple to make.

I recently visited The Coffee Cup in Providence, and I'm so glad I did! This café is an absolute hidden gem with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the aesthetic--a perfect blend of modern and cozy, with stylish decor, soft lighting, and a relaxed ambiance. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel at home, whether you're catching up with friends, reading a book, or just enjoying some quiet time. I ordered tea, and it was fantastic! The quality was evident from the first sip--rich in flavor, perfectly steeped, and served beautifully. They have a great selection of teas, making it a must-visit for tea lovers like me. The service was also wonderful. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed while also allowing me to enjoy my time without feeling rushed. If you appreciate a chic café with a calming atmosphere, great drinks, and excellent service, The Coffee Cup is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back soon to try more from their menu! - Highly Recommend! read more

The iced French Toast lattes at The Coffee Cup cafe in Providence Place Mall are one of the best coffee drinks I have ever had. The baristas consistently craft these lattes to perfection, ensuring a rich and flavorful experience with every sip (and a variety of "milk" choices). The cafe is in the best location, conveniently near Macy's and Zale's on level one. That corner real estate makes it an ideal spot for a casual coffee meetup or a quick caffeine fix while shopping. One standout feature is their commitment to customer rewards with programs like Clover and a frequent customer program, allowing you to make the most of your visits. Beyond coffee drinks, they offer a tempting selection of fresh pastries and food to complement your beverage. Plus, the complementary Wi-Fi and charming seating area with a grassy backdrop and neon sign make it a great spot for Instagram-worthy photos while enjoying your favorite snacks and treats from The Coffee Cup. It's a must-visit for coffee enthusiasts and mall-goers alike! read more
