Had to check out their amazing valentines menu and I'm so glad that I did! We got the candy hearts and all the single ladies lattes and both were amazing! 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. I found the pricing to be very affordable, especially for high quality coffee in the city! While parking is sometimes hard, this shop is worth it! 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 :) read more

This is a lovely spot. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. They boost my spirit 'round about 3 pm when my energy takes a dip. They make excellent coffee and prepare and present it with care. I appreciate the fair pricing of their coffee. The homemade pastries are great but expensive. The breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. Thank you Dave's! read more

My friend and I stopped into Dave's for a coffee before going to lunch last Friday. She ordered the Ocean Latte, which was a special for earth day! I ordered the chocolate pretzel latte. The drinks were very good! They have great coffee and the staff were lovely. We weren't planning on getting food since we were headed to lunch with the pasties all look so good! They had vegan and gluten free options too. We ended up splitting a scone and it was truly one of the best scones I have ever had. That is high praise because I have eaten a lot of scones. It was so flavorful and fluffy. I know parking in this area can be a challenge but I was able to get a parking spot just up the hill on Benefit St without a problem! Highly recommend to avoid getting a ticket for not paying a meter! read more

Love stopping here while walking downtown or by the river! Great atmosphere, quick service, love their syrup selection! Oatmilk is also very good, nice & creamy! read more

Love their seasonal drink options, and the space inside is good to sit and work. The employees were very friendly and it was a smooth process to order and grab drinks. I tried the frosted blueberry latte. Normally I love blueberry lattes, but this tasted a little too artificial for me. We also tried the chocolate mint donut which I did really like. read more

Stopped by Dave's Coffee to grab a latte - was surprised to see that they have several specialty lattes. I didn't know what to choose! I ended up grabbing a chocolate pretzel latte which was pretty good. Their pastries also looked delicious. I would definitely stop by again - parking on the street but wasn't too bad to find. Staff was really friendly! read more

I totally understand why this place is so adored!!! First of all, the staff is so friendly. Second of all, my hot latte was really smooth and really flavorful but not excessively sweet. It was a toffee or brown butter type of situation. I had the b.e.c. on the homemade english muffin & dipped it in some sriracha. Really satiating. I sat and worked here for 1.5hr in the little elevated space towards the back. Very comfy. The buzz of people up at the front tables wasn't distracting like you would think it would be in a small space. I give 3 stars because Dave's is good, but it's not necessarily mind-blowing-exceptional. There's just so much competition around college hill! I will be back to try more rotating latte flavors :) read more

I came back to Dave's Coffee with a friend and ordered their White Chocolate and Lavender Matcha. It is a sweet White Chocolate and house made Lavender Matcha. Out of all the different matchas I've had at Dave's Coffee, this was probably the best one and hit the spot right on. My friend and I sat at a table outside with 2 seats and stayed about 30 minutes. It was a beautiful day. read more

Coffee and matcha drinks are fine, but what gets me every time is that they're always closed early every time that I go. The last 2 times I've tried to go get coffee, they've closed early at like 2 for some reason. Inconvenient, given that I have to commit to walking there since I'm like 25 min walking distance from Dave's. Quite unfortunate read more

What an adorable spot!! I decided to try the weekly special Frankenstein Matcha. I ordered it less sweet. I came as part of a big group and all the employees did an amazing job getting the drinks out quickly and accurately. The drink I had was terrific. The ube was sweet and creamy and perfectly sweet and the matcha was nice and earthy. Ube and taro are some of my favorite drink flavors and this was similar to a bubble tea without the boba. The menu had a lot of options that sounded terrific so I'm hoping to go back soon and try something out! I saw they can add a homemade marshmallow and/or a maple whipped cream to any drink and those are both calling my name!! read more

Dave's coffee has been on my bucket list. I finally had the opportunity to try it for the first time and it did not disappoint! It is located in a fun busy area on South Main Street of Providence. I came on a Sunday so I can explore the artisan market across the street. There is a wide range of menu items from coffee, matcha, lemonade, tea, and pastries. I got the blueberry coffee cake latte and it had the perfect blend of subtle sweetness. There is indoor and some outdoor seating. It is very clean inside and has a hipster look to it. The staff was very quick and friendly. Some guests were popped on their laptops and enjoying the free WiFi! read more

Expansive coffee variety and special flavors of the day are best served. Good ambiance and good baristas.

Stopped in to grab a coffee and sandwich. They weren't super friendly...and wouldn't make a sandwich on toast instead of the biscuit? I mean you have avocado toast? Seems silly. So we just got coffees, they were fine. Typical coffee shop vibe. read more

Food: I ordered the iced caramel latte with oat milk and wow! That along deserves 5 stars! I know that we also gotta credit whoever makes it bc that can make or break a coffee. But hot damn it was good today! Service: Great overall. They were quick and very nice. Ambiance: It's a cute cafe with some tables and seatings. There's a couple outdoor tables too. It's in a walkable area and there's street parking. read more

Street parking was readily available! I paid via passport parking app. Coffee milk was good - sweet without being too sweet. We got it with oat milk. We also ordered the banana bread latte with oat milk and a shot of espresso - the espresso maybe overpowered the banana flavor. The pina colada scone and cheddar & scallion bread were both good. Staff was super friendly. There's one bathroom - you get the key at the front. We were able to get a seat easily. read more

Stopped here on a whim, we were walking by and needed our caffeine fix. I love coffee shops so I was excited to check it out. I read after the fact that they make all natural, small batch, cold brewed coffee syrup that you can mix with milk to make coffee milk; a Rhode Island staple. They roast coffee beans in their 7000 sq ft roastery in Narragansett. There are two Dave's Coffee shops, one in Charlestown and one in Providence. Love supporting a small business, especially from my home state! I saw a sign right out on the sidewalk showing their specials. I had to try out their iced cardamom vanilla oat milk latte; that was perfect and I could've drank a whole gallon of it. Service was great and ambiance was that of a cozy coffee shop. The coffee was fresh and tasty. A great asset to have in RI. read more

I stopped by to try the Rhode Island classic, coffee milk. The barista recommended iced, because that's how it's traditionally served, though they also offer it hot. I got a large iced coffee milk to share ($5.40). It tasted like watered-down horchata or chai with a hint of cinnamon--just milk lightly flavored with coffee. It wasn't bad, but nothing special. The café has plenty of seats, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink or get work done. They also have free stickers! read more

I'm not sure who Dave is but he serves up one hell of a coffee. Dave's coffee is consistently delicious. I've been coming to Dave's for years and always enjoyed them but now even more with their weekly specialty flavored coffees. If you're not into flavors such as Strawberry Cheesecake or Bananas Foster, you'll definitely enjoy their coffee syrup latte with Dave's own coffee syrup. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and fast. There's indoor and outdoor seating along their window and inside there is a cozy nook where many people were reading or typing on their laptops. Dave's has a great location on south Main Street that is a walkable distance to the pedestrian bridge or Memorial Park. read more

Road travels often take us to unexpected yet fantastic finds, of course my stop at Dave's Coffee was unplanned. On my search to procure local products, I picked up a bottle of coffee syrup, and it is spectacular. I get to craft my own milk coffees and test cocktails, and this coffee syrup is a fabulous addition. I'm kicking myself for not getting more! read more

When in Rome...bought some coffee milk and sweet lemon iced coffee cans. Have not tried, bringing home. Ordered the blueberry matcha with oat mylk and blueberry latte with oat mylk. Yum Also, got the gf blueberry banana bread. Lots of gf options:) Staff is so friendly and explained all the New England coffee things to me:) read more

There's a reason this place is so famous! The coffee and food here are great. This definitely isn't the kind of coffee place I would go to to sit and relax, though - it tends to be pretty busy and noisy, and getting a seat can be challenging, especially on the weekends. The staff are super nice, and they have free stickers :) read more

The Coffee Milk was delicious and a great place to stop for breakfast! Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich on a croissant.

Looked for the best coffee shop in the area and came across Dave's. The flavor combinations were unique and the ratings on Yelp were great so let's go! There was plenty of parking in the street and a lot behind the building . The coffee shop sits in a clean area mixed with business and residential. I ordered the vanilla bourbon latte and it was exquisite. Coffee was balanced and the vanilla flavor wasn't overwhelming. The baristas had the personality of a wall though. Lols I tried asking him questions about their beans and their syrups and could barely get a response. Dave's had the best coffee on our trip, It would have been nice if they were more welcoming but it won't stop me from coming back! read more

Dave's is a Rhode Island legend and in my opinion has some of the best coffee in the state. Being gluten-free, they also have an excellent selection of gluten-free pastries that actually taste good, and that is always a plus for me. The café is a bit tight and waiting for drinks can become a little cramped but the staff are so accommodating and helpful that it makes up for it. It's best to visit on the weekend when you don't have to scramble for parking because parking can be tight in this area of the city. Nice outdoor seating and warmer weather. read more

I love Dave's! I like to stop in on my lunch break and try their seasonal flavors. I recently tried a pumpkin cola dirty soda and I hope they are made a permanent addition to the menu. The baristas are friendly and are usually happy to answer any questions about their menu. If you're looking for a quick stop to get good, unique coffee and beverages, Dave's is a better price and product than others around the area. read more

Finally! A nice shop with legit strong coffee. I had a good feeling about this place after seeing on their website how much pride they take in their coffee and where they get their beans from. I got a small dark roast for $2.70 and it had a nice flavor, was robust and not watery crap like Dunkin. It reminded me of Starbucks. Very friendly staff and I'll be back to try their other drinks. read more

Love love love this place! This was our first stop in Providence on our Roadtrip. First, because we had to work as soon as we got to the city. Second, we wanted to go back since we had coffee milk here last time. This time, we got the Oat Latte with Vanilla Bourbon syrup. I got mine hot and my bf got his cold. It's just perfect! The coffee was good and the syrup just added some mild sweetness to it. They have a cute section in the back where you can just chill or work or study or read. I would love to go back here next time we're in Providence! read more

Dave's Coffee has good coffee and surprisingly good food. They make many of their breads in-house from scratch, which impressed me. Staff are always friendly, but jockeying for position in line could be better. On a couple of occasions I've been skipped over for pushy folks who cut in front of me. The atmosphere is probably the least interesting part of the place. Seating is confusing and uninviting with no space for private conversation, normally your subjected to other's conversations. I rarely stick around, and perhaps that's the point of the poor seating? My other gripe is cost, Dave's is expensive. I only go when I am really hungry or want to treat myself at my desk. read more

Dave's Coffee uses high quality coffee beans for all their drinks, making it one of my favorite cafes for a vanilla latte. Their homemade vanilla syrup is amazing! There are many new and established coffee shops around Providence, but whenever I crave a hot vanilla latte, this is my go-to place! read more

Oatmeal Cookie Latte was perfection. There is plenty of on street parking. Good amount of seating inside. The baked goods looked amazing but passed on them during my visit. Note that they don't run the same specials as the Daves Coffee in Charlestown. read more

Excellent coffee. The wife and I were passing through for a visit and we're glad we came by. The cortado was perfect. Exactly what a cortado should be. The matcha latte was also a thing of beauty, The gluten free cookie was one of the best gluten free cookies I ever had, I'd love to go back. read more

Best place in Providence for coffee. Dave's Coffee is a quiet place to kick it and relax. It has a few outside benches and tables. Coffee is the main thing but there's also pastries. The prices are pretty average it seems. I had a Drip Coffee. It's $2.75 for a regular. This is made with locally grown beans and tastes fresher than anything at Starbucks. Also don't forget to eat. Come early enough before they run out of things. Among the items here are cookies and muffins. They also have a few that are vegan. I tried a Vegan Butternut Squash Maple Sage Bundt. It's $4.25 for a personal one. This is even topped with frosting and tastes like the real thing. Good for an early morning or afternoon. It often runs out of those good pastries. These are so good it's hard to believe that some are vegan. read more

If you want great cold brew stop by Dave's Coffee! Went to Providence for the day and needed a caffeine boost. I read a ton of great reviews and decided to pop in.

This is a great spot if you are nearby in the area or happen to get lucky finding a parking spot. As a tip, on sundays metered parking is free! I also noticed that the baked goods at Dave's sell out quickly so try to get in early. The coffee is amazing. Seriously best latte I've ever had, anywhere, in my entire life. The cappuccinos are good too. And the teas are great as well. Service here is always attentive, professional, and typically friendly. Lots of students and rarely a free spot to sit (this location is super busy) which speaks to the popularity and superior quality of the coffee and food. read more

We were looking for a great breakfast "on the go" and Dave's delivered! The service was so friendly and prompt. We ordered drinks and food and both were amazing. I highly recommend getting your breakfast sandwich on a croissant! We will definitely be back! read more

Yikes. I just learned some dark information about the owner and his mistreatment of his rotating staffs. It makes sense- I've been in there twice in the past month because their espresso is always smooth and their English muffins are tasty, but the staff seemed off. Cashier was sweet, but seemed new. The other woman working had no patience and seemed stressed as she overcompensated for the training cashier. I overheard her directing other staff members to "keep things in order." Rather than assuming it was a character flaw, I went and read reviews which enlightened me on the situation. This shop has been going viral on Instagram and TikTok for their "Dubai Chocolate Latte," the poor staff is probably extra overwhelmed. I'll have to find a new local spot. read more
