Hazel Origin Coffee opened the doors to its third location on Wednesday, August 6th, for a soft opening. A grand opening followed on Friday, August 8th from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is the location of the former Café Choklad at 2 Thomas Street in Providence, RI.
On Friday, I arrived a few minutes before 7 a.m. and there was already a customer waiting for Hazel Origin Coffee to open. The doors opened and inside is very cozy with plenty of seating area. I really liked the bookshelf nook next to the fireplace and could see many people staying here for hours doing work, reading, and hanging out. I ordered a large iced matcha with lavender ($8.05) and my husband ordered a cappuccino ($4.25) and a nutella croissant ($5.25). Everything was very good. My husband said the nutella croissant is perfect for any Nutella lover since it's filled with nutella. For grand opening, Hazel Origin Coffee gave customers a choice of either a free Hazel Origin Coffee tumbler or sweatshirt while supplies last. I chose the sweatshirt.
Staff were friendly and hospitable. I can't wait for the next time to revisit Hazel Origin Coffee. It's also nice not having to go up the hill for their other Providence location. read more
