They were served in these adorable pink cups with upscale plastic straws that were heart shaped! How cute?!? We also got a hot coffee and a donut which were also well liked.

The ambiance is cute and cozy, and the staff is friendly and amazing. If I lived in Providence, I would be here all the time! It's a great spot :)

I used to visit Little City at least three times a week when I worked in Downtown Providence and I…read morealways had a magnificent experience. From the staff to the coffee to the food - Little City is one of the best, if not THE best coffee shop in Providence. Definitely in Downtown PVD. My Top 3 Faves when it comes to Little City: 1) The seasonal flavors. Every season they come out with innovative new syrups for their coffee menu and it's always exciting to see what's coming next. 2) Dave! My coworkers and I were some of the first customers when they opened and Dave took the time to remember our names. I hadn't been in over a year (closer to 2 years) and Dave still remembered me when I came by. We've even bonded over a shared birthday. 3) My first "unofficial" date with my partner was inside LC. We bonded over our love of plants and aesthetic on the shelves behind us. Make Little City your go-to when you're downtown. You won't regret it.

Cute little city coffee shop located in downtown Providence. Easy to remember name too…read more My coworkers and I walked to get some coffee and bites and were were greeted by a nice cashier. There were so many different options - signature flavors include brown sugar vanilla and coconut caramel. My coworkers and I tried one of each. The were so many unique pastry and breakfast options. We both ordered the everything focaccia bun filled with cream cheese. We got a couple of pastries too - the gluten free cannoli Bundt cake and the vegan cherry cake. When it came time to pick up our coffees the barista was pretty rude. He was frustrated by our questions which were pretty basic "what's what?!" We ordered four coffees and nothing was labeled. Felt like that was a typical question. There was no one behind us too. I would go back for the coffee and treats, but definitely not the customer service.

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!

Ceremony definitely overpromised and underdelivered on expectations. It would have been a complete…read moredisappointment if not for the visually appealing presentation of the drinks. Driven by heavy social media presence on Instagram, this shop proved to be a classic example of a cute concept that fails on execution. The shop features a modern, clean aesthetic but suffers from highly inefficient operations. The layout makes it unclear where the ordering line actually begins, and the printed menus do not match the menus displayed on the wall. This forced a rushed ordering process, leading me to order a standard Strawberry Matcha. While the drink's presentation was pretty, the flavor was only average and did not justify the steep, overpriced cost--especially for an establishment located in a prominent college area. Color was on point but flavor was very milky and slightly tart. I don't say this often, but it needed sugar. Service was interesting. Drinks are served filled to the brim without lids. You retrieve the lids yourself in a separate counter area. This design flaw was highlighted when a nearby couple spilled their entire order onto the floor simply while walking over to get a cap. Rather than stepping in immediately to help clean up the mess and offer new drinks, the staff stood and stared at this couple for longer than they should have before offering assistance. Also, I would've liked a teddy bear too but didn't see it on the menu so I didn't order it. Between the high prices, lackluster service, and operational confusion, the overall experience does not warrant a return visit. Go get a sugarcane drink around the corner instead!

I've only been once so far but I was very impressed by the quality of the pastries. I tried a cafe…read morelatte croissant and really enjoyed it! Super flaky and a lot of delicious flavor from the filling and garnishes. It was very busy when I stopped by midday. They were out of some items already (I missed out on trying the French onion croissant before they replaced it with another menu item). I did find a spot to sit outside but I can see it being even harder to find a seat during peak times. It's a bit off the beaten path yet it's known and popular for a reason. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more items and of course the coffee!

It was a Wednesday afternoon, and I was craving a good latte. I had seen this place on social media…read moreand added it to my list of cafes to visit. There is a parking lot in the back, but I was not sure if it was for the café or apartments downstairs, so I just found street parking nearby. The inside gave me Spaniard vibes because of the cream, smooth walls and dark wooden accents. The following were the two things that instantly caught my attention when I walked in: They have merchandise on display for sale and it seems like high quality material and they had a vehicle made of croissants on display, maybe about 1.5 ft x 1 ft x 6 inches. They have their pastries on display which helps visualize what you're getting before buying it. They are unique and big in size. Their drink menu is good and includes a mix of teas (including matcha) and coffee. I went with the bee latte which was supposed to have honey, cardamom, and cayenne. I was interested in seeing how sweet, herbal/minty, and spicy would taste together. I was also [easily] self-convinced into getting a Za'atar croissant. After our order came out, we walked outside and sat at their patio area which has about 5-6 tables enough for two people each. The latte was good. I appreciated how it was not sweet, but I did think the cardamom was too subtle. It seemed like the cayenne was powder just sprinkled on top and I might've inhaled half of it on my first sip, so I was dying a bit. The Za'atar croissant was given to us in a brown paper box with the outside of their building drawn onto it. Since we asked for it toasted, it was warm and extra crispy/flaky on top. It was flat (about 1 inch thick) and about 6 inches in diameter, so big enough to share if you're just interested in a light snack. The inside of every swirl was packed with olive oil, middle eastern herbs, and lots of sesame seeds. Although it may take away from the traditional flavors and way of eating it, I wish it came with something to dip it into like whipped cream cheese or smashed olives. Nonetheless, it was delicious. On weekends, they have a laptop free policy which I think it good to allow for more people to enjoy, rather than people taking up tables for a while to do work.

This coffee shop is located inside Still on Main, which appears to be one big two story building…read morewith multiple businesses inside. Conveniently, there is a 2 hour free parking garage to the right of the building which is where we parked, but there is also street parking. Downtown Pawtucket is sadly almost abandoned, but businesses like these give me hope that it can make a comeback. When we walked in, we saw signs pointing downstairs for Dissent, which helped us a lot to locate it. The actual store is small, with only 1-2 chairs in the corner and some high chairs along the counter, but there are also about 4-5 tables and chairs in the common area. The menu is perfect not too long, but lots of appealing and unique options with cool names. I ordered the pistachio 2.0 latte which has espresso, peruvian cacao + maple syrup, and pistachio milk. My mom ordered the masala chai. Both were ready in about 10 minutes. Like most coffee shops, they make the coffee right in front of you, which instills a lot of confidence. The pistachio latte had a very nice color and was very rich, creamy, slightly nutty, with a hint of mocha flavor which might've been the coffee. It reminded me of a liquid form of dubai chocolate but not nearly as sweet. The masal chai was also creamy and you could taste the spices. It's a very nice place to study, read, or hang out with friends.

I'm so happy to have a spot like Dissent in this part of downtown Pawtucket, we've badly been…read moreneeding an option like this! I walked over for the first time - this coffee shop is on the lower floor of the Still on Main mall-like building, and you have to go down a flight of stairs to access it. I'm not sure if there is an easier, more handicap accessible way to get there. The Still on Main building seems partially under construction and has a musty smell to it - if you're a big antiquer, it might feel homey, but is a little offputting. Anyways, onto the actual Dissent review! I was delighted by the long list of caffeinated drink options as well as specials on the bar. I ordered the honey lavender latte drink - the name escapes me and I lost the menu photo, but I know it was very cute - which could be ordered either as a matcha latte or espresso latte. My co-worker got the matcha version and was absolutely in love with it! I ordered it as an espresso latte, and it came with bright blue foam on top. This didn't seem to match any of the ingredients on the menu, so I was a bit thrown off, even though it was fun (and changed the color of my tongue a la middle school fruit snacks, lol). I'm usually a big lavender flavor fan, but something about this leaned a little....soapy? to me? The recipes and barista seemed very authentic and educated in all things coffee, so I'll definitely be back, but was just a bit bummed that my first drink here wasn't my favorite thing ever. I'm not sure what it was, but the flavor was just a bit too 'cleaning supplies' esque for me. There are tables in the hallway to chill at if you need a nice spot nearby to hang out and sip on your beverage, or there are some chairs in the corner of the coffee shop and a couple bar stools. It's a small shop but seems to have some solid regulars and a dedicated barista. They have lots of milk alternative options, which is appreciated, and when I went in a group of 3, our drinks were made one by one with care, so allow some extra time to soak in the vibes if you go at a busy time or in a group. I'm really happy to have this option nearby and can't wait to try their summer specials (the strawberry drink comes to mind, although on the day I visited they were offering a watermelon one instead!)

They do have overhead lights, but most of the clarity was coming in through the windows. I wanted something refreshing so I ordered a blueberry lemon iced tea and for my mom, I ordered her a vanilla latte. While we waited, we secured the couch facing the entrance that we were eyeing - very comfortable indeed. One of the staff members delivered the drinks to us which was very kind of them. My tea was cold and refreshing, but a big underwhelming with flavor. My mom's latte had a nice design in the foam and was good, especially since it was not overly sweet. We really liked the calm vibes in here and the simple but classy interior design.

Coffee is... Yes. Really fun, funky and delicious seasonals, spot on regular bevvies that can accommodate many different tastes. I've tried the bagels with homemade cream cheese (yum) and a pastry or two (also yum). Haven't given that toasts or oatmeal a whirl yet but they all look great. All in all, The Nook is perfect and I always look forward to spending time here. Stay awesome.
