The espresso was very well-balanced and tasty, and the latte overall wasn't overly sweet, which I really enjoyed. I grabbed my coffee later in the day, so I was lucky enough to avoid the line. Service was quick, and the staff was very friendly! The aesthetic of the trailer was also super cute. I honestly wish they had a brick-and-mortar location! I'll definitely be following them on Instagram to see where they'll be next!

I'm really impressed with how much they can do out of their little coffee horse trailer! The coffee is good and I really like that they make their own syrups.

I had two dogs with me and she offered them pup cups too. Very kind! Their weekly schedule is posted on Instagram!

The service was fast and friendly, despite the store being busy. I love that! The barista did not rush us to choose, instead helped us newbies decide on a drink. I went with my usual cafe mocha, and it did not disappoint! My sis got the Thai Tea, and sis in law the Thai tea and a latte to try it. Everyone was happy with their choices!! This might become an every Saturday treat after a sweaty Zumba session!

Luckily, they do have a large space with lots of tables and some couches so finding a seat wasn't a problem. Their menu includes drinks and food (breakfast and lunch). My friend and I shared the BOM sandwich which comes on a Portuguese BOLO with gruyere cheese, roasted red peppers, onion, spinach, BOM sauce, chorizo, and fried egg. For our drinks I had a cinnamon crunch iced coffee with whole milk and coconut cold foam and my friend had one of the coff-tails. I took in all the artwork around the walls while I waited for our order to come out. They brought the sandwich out to us, but I went up to the counter to get the drinks. The sandwich was incredibly good, especially the BOM sauce that was a little spicy. The sausage was thick and well cooked, and the veggies tasted fresh. The bread was very good too but I wish it was slightly toasted (next time). My drink was good. It was not sweet at all, which the cashier did prepare me for, but it still tasted good to me. The milk and coconut cold foam made it very creamy and the coconut flavor was very present throughout. We paid around $20 for the sandwich and two drinks which is fair. They have a drive thru window on the left side of the building, with the line wrapping around the back of the building, with plenty of parking in the front and back for dining in.

What I didn't…read moreknow was it's located within a bicycle shop and as a guy that is way cooler than just a sweet coffee shop. While awaiting for my coffee I looked at a few of the bicycles. I was happy to see there were peddling ones as well as electric...Bravo to that! On to the coffee shop. The line was long and out the door. There is even a roped off area to help keep patrons in a line. I will say the line moved pretty fast though. However, if you have a limited amount of time, then maybe come back. Overall it took about 10 to 15 minutes by the time the coffee was in our hands. There is limited seating inside but there are several tables with chairs outdoors. Yesterday was a beautiful fall day and it was perfect to sit outside. The Nitro Bar has several types of drinks to include both hot and cold. They have them with different flavors and right now Cinnamon Roll seems to be a favorite. However, I ordered a hot caramel latte. Yes, they have different milks. My latte wasn't too hot so it was easy to drink. It did have a nice Carmel flavor. Nitro Bar also has pastries available, which looked pretty good. Somehow I was strong and didn't get any...the carrot cake was very tempting. The downside or upside depending on your perspective, are the prices are a little expensive (sugar is not cheap) and it was mostly women in line. There were not many fellas at all. Nonetheless, you just have to try it...at least once, or twice! Thank you to the Nitro Bar here in Providence on Broadway for another good memory here in Rhode Island!

The line was pretty long, but it was a weekend on a nice day. The wait was shorter than expected nonetheless so I would say they're quite efficient! Prices were steep honestly for just breakfast food, but the quality was decent; sizes were small. Their coffee was tasty and unique while their sandwich was tasty and well made. They have some seating and we got a table outside, but it required being vigilant and quick. It did feel more like a grab and go for most folks. Honestly, I would come back if in the area again, but wouldn't make a whole trip around it.

My husband I made it in the door witching a few minutes. I ordered drinks and a seasonal peach cinnamon bun and a pistachio crunch croissant to go. The bun came out first, warmed and massive the bun was cooked all the way through. My husband and I split a peach cinnamon bun and it was delicious. Drinks took a little longer, though were very well made. We had asked the pistachio crunch croissant to be boxed, and enjoyed it later. It was delicious, though the white chocolate frosting on top didn't add much. With the variety of seasonal and regular offerings, there's lots of treats to try here!

It was daytime when I went, so there were plenty of pastries on display and they all looked amazing. The coffee and bar spirit selection were excellent, but I opted for a mocktail and was not disappointed I can't wait to come back and definitely want to go for one of their summer film nights in the courtyard. The movie schedule looks top-tier.

The location was a tad intimidating for me as a typical shy girl, but park at the spot inside the business, and walk towards the inner section, passing a clinic and the Troop. Didn't have time to browse too much, but I noticed others were here to study and work too~ we all seemed to be on the save vibe or getting work down. WiFi is such a cool password made me chuckle. Will come again when I'm the area.

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!

I like the branding, brightness of the cafe, and the fact that there's a decent amount of seating. I got the Iced French Vanilla Espresso Latte + Espresso Teddy which was well-made, bold, and enjoyable. I think the Espresso Teddy is actually made with cold brew and not espresso which I expected given the name and would have preferred. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the slow melt and the boost of caffeine I got as I kept sipping. And it's super cute! The Iced Mont Blanc was also a good try; the sweet orange flavor was subtle and surprisingly enjoyable adding a bright taste to each sip. If I'm ever back in Providence, I would totally come back and maybe try their matcha drinks.

But remember - no sandwiches after 12:30 so you need to go early!

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.

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.
