I came with a group of classmates for caffeine and left obsessed with the chicken chipotle quesadilla! There were plenty of seats for parties of all sizes but this weekend was definitely packed. Regardless, we loved the chill barista and our orders came out pretty quick. The overall vibes were nice, bustling, modern yet cozy. This definitely feels like the spot to study, catch up with friends and spend a lot of time in. Though I came in with the intent to order coffee, the Coco Ube Matcha on their spring menu caught my eye. Light with the right amount of sweetness, I really enjoyed this matcha. The chicken quesadilla itself had all the right things going, cheesy, gooey, savory, meaty and flavor packed. Paired with a side of sour cream, this piece of heaven is easily one of my favorite handhelds I've had in a while. If it's your first time visiting or meeting up with someone, do make note of them having two locations! read more

This place was hopping! Lotus helped me and was super sweet and helpful. 10/10 for costumer service! My latte was prepared beautifully and in a timely fashion. I did find the espresso to be a bit bitter and the drink lacked the wow factor. I would still go back again, because sometimes that can happen with espresso. I worked in the coffee industry and know it can do that at times. I did find the food prices to be very expensive though especially in an area for college kids. I can't speak if the food is worth the money though, as they prevented me from taking the chance of ordering at such a high cost. Ambiance was okay. I preferred the outdoor seating to that inside! read more

Back again for another round, this chorizo and egg burrito was really good! The burrito was loaded with chorizo (seemed like fresh spanish chorizo to me) and it had plenty of egg and cheese to go around. I can't really remember what else was packed in there, but if you like meat, you'll like this burrito. The sauce it came with was a Chipotle mayo which complemented things well. The side salad was a bonus. Nice way to close out the meal. I was very happy with this- I think we're 4 for 4 or 5 for 5 now, always a good time here whether it's for breakfast or just a cup of coffee. read more

It was the day after Christmas and we were looking for an open coffee shop on the East Side of Providence. It was actually interesting how many places were closed, but Hazel Origin was open! This is a beautiful, well lit, open space, colorful coffee shop on Brown University campus. The service was friendly and helpful here. We ordered a couple of drinks and a couple of food items to share. First, their coffee here is quite good, and it looks like they roast their own beans which I always like. My Brown Sugar Rosemary latte was great. I mostly tasted the brown sugar, but there was a hint of rosemary that I liked a lot. For food, I got to try two of their breakfast burritos. The Hazel wrap was my favorite. It's very cheesy and the eggs and sausage are delicious. It came with a house-made maple aioli that was so good. I can't say enough good things about this breakfast wrap. The eggs and chorizo burrito was really good, but I was thinking it would be a Mexican chorizo rather than a Spanish chorizo. The menu doesn't say what kind it is, but maybe they should point that out. Still really good and I love how flavorful the chorizo is. The classic avocado toast was good, but the toast itself seemed maybe a bit stale. The egg, tomato's and avocado were great. Overall, I highly recommend Hazel for good coffee, delicious breakfasts and a really nice place to hang out. read more

Honestly, my favorite thing about this place is the service! The folks working here are so sweet and really work hard to make sure you have a great experience. I had some avocado toast with arugula and hard boiled egg. It was delicious! The blueberry lemon cheesecake Matcha was also amazing. It was on the specials menu, unfortunately. The dining room is just stunningly beautiful. The lighting, the adorable reading corner with books available for use while in the café, the window seating so you can watch folks walk or drive by while you're getting some work done... It's just all perfect. This might be one of my favorite spots to come during the workday. read more

Hazel Origin Coffee is a family-owned coffee shop that has 2 current locations at 245 Esten Ave, Pawtucket, RI 02860 and 250 Brook St, Providence, RI 02906. They are also working on opening a store on Thomas Street where Cafe Choklad used to be in Providence. This was my first time at Hazel Origin Coffee and I visited the one on Brook Street, on the ground floor of Chen Family Hall. There are plenty of two-hour time limit street parking available. I was planning to stay for an hour so this worked great. I walked in on a Tuesday morning around 8:00am and I was able to secure a countertop seat by the window. The natural sunlight brightens the coffee shop. There are plenty of tables and countertop seats available inside and seating outside as well. I took a look at their menu and I loved how I could customize my own matcha. I chose matcha with honey and lavender and it was DELICIOUS! The matcha is of ceremonial grade. A few days later on a Thursday afternoon around 4:30pm, I returned to Hazel Origin Coffee. There weren't too many artisan pastries made in-house left in the display case, but I chose a lemon blueberry loaf and it was very good. I'm so glad Hazel Origin Coffee is in the community. Since this is the summer and most students are on break, it wasn't too busy in the coffee shop but I am sure when the students return it'll be busy. read more

Rating: 3.8 Came to try this place because my partner was interested in trying out this new location. It's a small coffee spot around brown university campus. Parking is only street parking which may be difficult to find due to most being filled with students who live around the area. When I came in it was pretty busy with a lot students studying at the place. We placed an order at the counter. I ordered the chocolate haze latte and egg, cheese and bacon breakfast sandwich with croissants and chipotle aioli sauce. Since it was busy we did wait around 15 minutes or so. The drink was pretty good. The chocolate haze latte had good balanced of sweet and coffee flavor that weren't overwhelming. The sandwich was okay standard egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich. Croissants were nice and fluffy and flavorful but they did forget the sauce so it was bit dry. I know they were busy so I didn't bother asking to fix it. Service was overall good except the wait and sauce that they forgot on the sandwich which I paid extra for. Overall the place is decent but not enough to justify the wait and slow service which comes from being filled with students around the area. If you are not students and live around the area it may be best to go to the other location or options. read more

I came here because it happens to be closer to me today. I already know the other shop in Pawtucket and wanted to try this place out. Enough said with stating that it's within the Brown university dorms (I think). So lots of college students taking up seats with laptops and friends on study sessions~ that means they won't leave for hours~ which is ok because it's to be expected. Just be ready to wait for seats or just take to go~ Our order was quick at the counter because I know what I love here~ Chicken pesto panini! No fries or sides... which I was confused that I wasn't offered it like in the Pawtucket location. They stated being understaffed, and our orders will take a while~ which they did~ plenty of wait time to aim for a student leaving their table~ good food and drinks~ not the best in-door eating spot~ hard to find seats~ good study spot but you have to wait for a seat~ read more

Hazel Origin Coffee is a sweet & sunny spot over on college hill. The interior - Wonderful. High ceilings, modern touches, & so much natural light. Plenty of seating choices, both in the shade & in the sun. The bathroom was a bit jarring in comparison, so I wonder if the owners haven't gotten around to putting the razzle dazzle on it yet. The service - Very kind & efficient. The coffee - Scrumptious. The food - I was limited to the only two gluten-free options, which were both pastries - Blueberry lemon cake or a brownie. They don't have gluten-free bread so none of their sandwiches can be made gluten-free. I chose the blueberry lemon cake & it was very decent for gluten-free. It was moist & flavorful, not dry & crumbly like most GF pastries. I wish I could've gotten a sandwich or a toast, though. My friend got a caprese toast & it looked amazing. Overall - Nice spot! I'll be back & I look forward to gluten-free bread in the future, I hope. read more

This is the second Hazel Origin location I have visited - the first was the original in Pawtucket. Conveniently this location is right on Brown University's campus, below a residence hall, so you can definitely expect students to study all morning here. I grabbed a hot latte and grabbed a seat to enjoy it. There is a good amount of seating. I tried some of my friends breakfast sandwich and that was pretty good too. Food might take a bit longer - they didn't have a lot of staff working on a Thursday morning. Nonetheless, Hazel Origin is a chill study spot I would go back to for a morning coffee. read more

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.

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!

While the person taking our order was fine, the rest of the staff and even the patrons were snappy and rude, which really killed the vibe. It's a shame because the coffee itself is actually incredible. You can tell they really know what they're doing--the options are expansive and every cup is clearly well-crafted. If you're just in it for a high-quality brew and don't mind a side of cold energy, it might be worth it, but the lack of basic hospitality makes it hard to fully enjoy. A total "vibey" spot on the outside, but definitely lacked the warmth you'd expect from a local coffee shop.

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 had a bite of their canelé, which apparently requires a lot of work to make. It was very moist, with a great caramelized finish. I am super excited to try their new weekend dinner menu, but also more of their all day menu items.

The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside.

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.

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.

Sushi, snacks, ice cream, drinks, lunch, candy, produce, frozen foods, I could go on and on, but you just have to go to experience it yourself!

Prices were fair for all of the items we looked at, and felt lower to us than other similar markets we've visited. Although I think that the Asian Market off of Elmwood might have lower prices on some items. In addition to the market, there is also a counter where you can order hot foods to eat there or take to go. There is a nice seating area with chairs & tables, and there is also a counter with chairs next to the window. We'll be back earlier in the day next time to see the full selection of sushi.

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.
