I had been wanting to try this place for the longest but since it is a cute little truck that travels around the state, I hadn't had the opportunity to organically come across it - until this moment. Although a lot of their drink options sounded delicious, I went with the iced Maria Maria. I got the opportunity to chat a bit with one of the Marias and she was very kind, along with the other two team members. The prices are average, with my drink coming out to about $6. One disclaimer is that I don't drink coffee much, so I can't speak about the quality of the coffee taste but overall I loved the drink, mostly because it wasn't too strong or sweet but did have a very creamy taste. In addition, they do add a Maria cookie, which is very nostalgic for me. Although the line was very long, they were very efficient with just 3 people and do get our orders at a timely manner. I am looking forward to the next time I see them again to try more of their stuff. They do post their schedule of where they will be on their instagram page at the start of each week.

They post their schedule for the week on instagram on Mondays. I visited the mobile horse trailer or cart on Tuesday, 8/12/25, at Miriam Hospital on the corner of 7th Ave and Summit Ave in Providence, RI. There is street parking available. At 6:30am, they helped their first customer. I was probably about tenth in line. I ordered the coco-quipe latte from their summer menu. This late is infused with rich arequipe and creamy coconut. It is blended with 2% milk (they didn't have whole milk) and crowned with a fluffy vanilla cold foam and a sprinkle of shredded coconut. Unfortunately, I was expecting the arequipe and coconut flavors to be stronger and I do not think I got shredded coconut on top of it. As I drank more of the latte, it did taste better. The staff members were very friendly and talking to all the customers. It didn't take long for my drink to be ready. I'm glad I had the opportunity to try Maria Maria Coffee Bar.

I love Latte Love! My sister and I went here to do homework and work for the morning. We arrived…read morearound 9am and had no trouble finding a table with an outlet for our laptop chargers. I ordered the Peppermint Mocha Chai and it was delicious and arrived with a cute mini candy cane on top (not pictured because I ate it before remembering to take a photo). It was definitely on the sweeter side, which I liked, but might not be for everyone. The cashier was super sweet and friendly and drinks arrived quickly. Throughout the morning there was a steady stream of customers, but I didn't notice anyone waiting too long. It wasn't the quietest environment for working since there is music playing all day, but I didn't have meetings so noise wasn't a problem. After working for a while, I decided to get lunch as well. I love the avocado toast here because it's always flavorful and reasonably priced at $6 for 2 slices. It did have a decent amount of red pepper flakes - not an issue for me but something to be aware of for anyone who doesn't like spice. This also arrived quickly and was on a cute colorful plate.

It took approx 10mins to get through the line. The coffee was good but the time it took to get it was frustrating. In my opinion I don't mind paying top dollar for a fancy drink. But it isn't worth it if it is going to make me wait/late

Now I do not live in RI anymore but every time I come home we stop into LaSalle for some great flavors and it brings back memories. But what has happened???? Went in on Saturday 12/6, not too busy for a Saturday we waited patiently for someone to help us. My wife grabbed her Italian cookie package, wine biscuits only white wine no red, BTW they were hard as a rock old, egg biscuits with yellow frosting when it used to be white, they were dry dry dry. Onto the Italian cookie package, they were either hard or dry, no flavor at all. Now I hear there is new owners, this is a surprise but explains the service or lack there of and maybe the quality. It's a shame that a lifelong customer like myself will not be coming back when I'm in town.

My friends and I waited about 40 min on a Saturday morning to try their viral whipped lattes. I ordered the whipped cookie butter latte and tried their banana caramel and matcha lattes. I was sad to see that the toasted coconut is no longer an option and was surprised that no one seemed to order the red velvet one. Any latte can be whipped for $2. My drink came to $9 and became the most expensive small latte I've ever paid for. I also ordered one of their Cowboy cookies and regret not buying another. It's like a kitchen sink cookie with a sweet and salty mix. The cookie butter flavor didn't stand out in the actual latte, but the whipped was thick, sweet, and delicious. It's worth doing to experience why this place has become so viral, but I wouldn't be able to justify it on a regular basis. I'm happy to see this small business succeed and expand.

Saying that I'm obsessed with their delicious cold brew and their unique flavors is an…read moreunderstatement! This is hands down one of the best cold brews I have had in a long time! A coworker and I came to the Nitro Bar after work and, luckily, the line wasn't too long so we were served fairly quickly! The place is small and VERY popular, so I wouldn't recommend coming on the weekends as the line will quite literally be wrapping outside the store and almost to the other establishment next to it! However, the coffee is 100% worth the wait!! I highly recommend trying their Dark Horse Cold brew with one of their home made flavors ( my friend recommended the cookie butter, but the caramelized banana is amazing too). Can't wait to be back for more!!!

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!

I ordered the strawberry matcha, dalgona espresso latte, regular matcha, adzuki matcha, and black sesame latte. I especially loved the cute teddy bears you can add onto the lattes--it's such a fun touch. Service was kinda disappointing - some of the staff were quite dismissive and not welcoming.

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.

It feels like her place in the best way -- warm, proud, hands-on. Pastries are legit. Super buttery, flaky enough to make a mess, clearly baked that morning. No sad, sitting-around-all-day vibes. Ordered the breakfast sandwich and that tomato jam needs to be illegal. Sweet, savory, slightly tangy -- it completely makes the sandwich. I kept trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. Not happening. Crispy chicken sandwich was properly seasoned and not dried out (why is that so hard for some places?). Fries were solid too -- crispy, not limp. And the kale salad with roasted chickpeas and chicken made me feel like I had my life together. Fresh, simple, and actually satisfying. It's one of those places you stumble into while traveling and then immediately start googling whether you can justify going back the next day.

In honor of Valentine's Day, Rise 'N Shine Coffee Bar had a drink called Matcha made in heaven from 2/1-2/29/25. The drink was truly a match made in heaven with matcha and Munroe Dairy's strawberry milk. It was delicious and I got it multiple times when it was available! Strawberry and matcha works really well together. Most places that have strawberry matcha use a strawberry jam, but Rise 'N Shine Coffee Bar uses strawberry milk and it's soooooo good!!! I've also gotten the Blue Skies Matcha one time and the Gardener multiple times. For friends, they have gotten the Blueberry Pancake Latte from the spring menu and In a Nutshell for friends. They really enjoyed it. I am assuming The Blueberry Pancake Latte did really well because it was still available in the summer. Besides drinks, Rise 'N Shine Coffee Bar also offer pastries. I've gotten the Knead vanilla glazed and strawberry pop tart donuts. Both were fresh and very good. Don't hesitate and go and visit Rise 'N Shine Coffee Bar! Staff are friendly and drinks are aesthetically pleasing. There was one time the staff forgot my drink order, but it only happened that one time and it never happened again the multiple times I've revisited.
