    Iced coffee
    Meg M.

    Their coffee is always smooth and delicious. The store is simple and clean, and everything always looks and smells nice. There is seating both inside and outside, which is always a nice option. Everyone that works there is attentive and friendly. I always enjoy grabbing a coffee from here. Its downtown Providence location is wonderful!

    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!

    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.

RI food fights brought me in and you don't get access to the whole sandwich menu here, unfortunately you have to pick between their "Mushroom Bahn MI" and their "Screaming BLT". I went with the BLT since I wasn't feeling the vegan option. The description was "chili-hoisin glazed bacon | sliced tomato baby greens tomato jam | dill pickle pickled red onion chipotle aioli toasty thick-sliced white bread". Honestly, it was underwhelming. It had some tasty components but it was pretty average. The bacon was terribly weak. It was probably frozen precooked bacon that is heated and brushed with a hoisen glaze. I was hoping for some thick cut glazed almost candied bacon. Their avg. sandwich was around $16-17. If paying for that, I'd be left pretty disappointed. On top of that, it probably took around 35-40 minutes to get the sandwich. Again, pretty okay sandwich, the pickled onion, tomato jam and Chipotle aioli elevated things, but it's in vain with the bacon they use. Their other sandwiches sound good, so it's possible I'll visit to try them out at some point but can't see myself running back here after my impression with this BLT.

I walked up and down the street to see what was open and then it hit me. My Grandfather use to take me here on the weekends when I was a kid so I had to head over there and take a walk around and get a sandwich and see what else they had to offer.On to the review! I walked in the store and was greeted with smiles and I walked around and was offered if I needed help with anything. I just walked around for 10 minutes to just soak up all the stuff they had which is like everything! I ended up settling with an Italian Grinder and some Tarrone Italian dessert thing that that my Grandfather loved getting for Christmas time. Itlian Grinder - I have to say the grinder was pretty good ! It had a pretty good meat to veggies to bread ratio! The bread had a crunchy crust but soft on the inside. Tarrone - Just as I remembered from back in the day soft sweet and filled with nuts, O did that bring up memories of being a kid and hanging out with Grandad! Over all, I really enjoyed my time there and enjoyed sitting down eating my sandwich and having some great small talk with a wonderful employee that walked at the register. I didn't get her name but she was a sweet person! The place was very clean and had a great vibe to it! Keep it up over there Venda! I will be visiting again soon!

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.

Early August, Sawyer's introduced Sawyer's Beach Service and since a group of 4 of us were heading to Easton's Beach on Saturday, I definitely wanted to order 2 of the Beach Service packages. The Summer Beach Service includes a basket for two packed with your choice of 2 salads or sandwiches, a large house lemonade or iced tea, chips, house pasta salad, cookies, and fresh fruit. It was very easy to use the Toast website to select the items and pickup date and time. On Saturday, August 23, 2025, I parked across the street from Sawyer's and headed in. There is plenty of street parking. Inside looks like an indoor farmer's market: the bakery case is loaded with sweets from NAVAD, potted flowers and greenery are displayed for sale on stools and antique ladders, woven baskets overflow with herbs. A cabinet is stocked with local coffee beans and tea, flour and oats from Maine Grains, a stack of cookbooks, and spices. A fridge is filled with Rhode Island milk, Maine butter, and fresh rhubarb. I informed the staff member that I was here to pickup my Beach Service basket and she told me to wait a few minutes since they were just finishing packing it up. The tote was packed to the brim. My tote had a Roast Beef, Horseradish, Blue Cheese on Baguette and Avocado, Arugula, Cucumber, Sundried Tomato, Pickled Onion on Multi Grain, Iced Black Tea, Chocolate Chip Cookies, chips, house pasta salad, and apples. The other tote had Turkey, Bacon, Sundried Tomato on County White and Mortadella, Mozzarella, Artichoke Pesto on Focaccia, watermelon lemonade, Chocolate Chip Cookies, chips, house pasta salad, and apples. Both totes had utensils and plastic cups with lids. We all absolutely enjoyed everything in the tote and couldn't finish everything at the beach. All the ingredients in the sandwiches and orzo salad were fresh and were very filling. The Douglas Sweets Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies were so soft and delicious! The chips were North Fork Potato Chips and crispy. The Beach Service was definitely worth it and I will unquestionably get it again. I am looking forward to visiting Sawyer's again.
