Sydney Providence - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Cute cafe near the mall and the train station. Picked up some light sandwiches after a train ride. The food was very average and nothing special. The sweet toast was better than the chicken salad sandwich which was much smaller than expected. We all got different drinks and they were all not amazing as well. It does have a great vibe and space so if you're working or need to chill for a bit and get some light snacks, it is great for that. read more

Sydney Providence - chicken salad sandwich and sweet toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The food has disappointed me many times. It doesn't taste fresh especially the baked goods.

This shop is so cute. I had such a good feeling as soon as I went in. And then I was immediately obsessed with all their macaroon choices. The food looked amazing as well. I was in a rush, but will need to go back. All of their beverages are amazing. I took two to go. The staff were super helpful and went above and beyond. I had a wonderful experience. My only heads up is finding parking. But that's typical in Providence! read more

Quiet, clean space with healthy choices for lunch or fancy coffees and teas. Close to the Capitol and train station. Friendly staff. Order at the counter and wait to be called. read more

Sydney has two locations in Providence; having been to both, I can thoroughly recommend the location on Exchange St over the Thayer St. Exchange St location is smaller, but it's also the original! It's inviting and very bright - perfect for walking in on your way to or from the train station. I had a hot vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant - would recommend the latte! I expected there to be a bit more chocolate in my croissant. read more

I'm a frequent visitor here. Although parking isn't ideal, it's conveniently located next to the train station, and a short walk from providence place mall and Kennedy plaza. There is indoor seating and some outdoor seating in the warmer weather. Staff is always super nice and personable. Love that they have an after dark menu! Pastries are also a favorite. In addition to their good beverages, they also have some functional seltzers and additional drinks available. Pretty good grab and go selection too. read more

Highly recommend Sydney! I got the avocado toast with an egg and was surprised at how large the portions are, and it came with Saffron. The photo doesn't do it justice! Also got an iced chai with a shot of espresso which tasted great. The barista was super nice and I love the cafe interior read more

With Square Loyalty, I am earning 1 point for every $1 spent after checking-in in store or online and pay. After earning 150 Points, I can redeem a reward for 100% off entire sale (up to $25.00 off). In mid-September, I went to Sydney Providence back to back to study for an upcoming exam. It was really nice, calm, quiet, and well lit for studying. I ordered a large ice unsweetened matcha latte with whole milk (Total $6.86 with service fee, city tax, and state tax). The next day, I came back to study and ordered a large iced blueberry honey matcha latte (Total $7.42). Out of all the drinks I've had, the sweetened with sugar cane matcha latte is the best. Early October, I was craving Sydney Providence and ordered my original order, large ice sweetened with sugar cane matcha latte. Most recently, I came back to have a large Madeline Cider Latte (Total $7.80). This tasted like fall in a cup. The apple cider was very good. read more

Cute and quaint coffee shop. I went there during a work conference and wanted to try a local shop instead of the chain ones. I ordered a tiramisu latte and a BEC, both were great. Also got a couple of macarons and those were great too. Service was good, they were helpful and kind. If you're in providence check them out. read more

This is a cute cafe located just blocks from the train station, Amtrak, the RI State House and many other downtown landmarks. They serve top notch items with fresh ingredients and excellent service. Their sandwiches, drinks, coffees and desserts are all delicious. Here are some pics of their Breakfast sandwich. YUM.... read more

Absolutely loved this coffee shop! I can't believe I didn't know of its existence until lately! Their macarons are stellar, and their matcha lavender green tea is to die for!! My fiancé also enjoyed their lattes, which I will try next time im at Sydney's! read more

The food here always seems like a good idea, but it tends to be disappointing. The avocado toast left a bit to be desired (maybe more toast less just bread?). The bolo sandwich could have had a fresher bolo. I haven't tried pastries on their own yet, but the lattes are great. Service is wonderful and it's pretty fast service. read more

I usually love their breakfest and lunch sandwiches.They're a little pricey, but good. BUT Don't ever get a salad from here.My salad ended up coming to seventeen dollars because I added chicken salad to it.And the salad looks like a side salad with like a tablespoon of chicken salad Ridiculous. It was very fresh! read more

This place is very understaffed. The wait for latte is super long, even though the barista is already super busy and fast. She still cannot managed it by herself. Because she was alone. Sometimes there's two people, but still super busy. If you want to grab a coffee before jump on the train, unless you have 20 minutes to spare don't do that. And the 20 minutes is only for one latte. The coffee, matcha, and food were good. But waited like 40 minutes for two sandwiches and two drinks. Macaroons were terrible, very chewy. Great location. I hope they hire more people in the future. read more

Stopped by Sydney in Providence and I'm so glad we did. The coffee was delicious--smooth and just the right pick-me-up. I got the bacon and egg on a croissant and it was absolutely perfect: flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. I took a bite of my boyfriend's chicken salad sandwich too, and it was so juicy and tasty I ended up taking the other half for myself! Cute spot with great food--I'll definitely be back. read more

Such a great coffee spot! I had the chai latte with lavender and it was seriously one of the best I've ever had -- super smooth and perfectly balanced. My wife got the vanilla latte and loved it too. We also tried the breakfast sandwich and the CSI sandwich -- both were amazing. Fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The space is bright, welcoming, and has a really relaxed vibe. Easily one of our new favorite spots in Providence. Highly recommend! read more

Lovely. Staff was great. Needed a bite before my train (3 minute walk from the station) and they made me a terrific panini. And then thoughtfully told me I should enjoy my sandwich in their awesome shop rather than eat from my lap in the station. Delightful. And Thank you! read more

Such a cute spot especially to pull up and do work at or meet up with someone. Space is super clean and welcoming. Service was okay. One girl was kind of rude and I also personally thought the spot was a little pricey. Drinks were your typical drinks, read more

Not a big fan of the salmon dill sandwich because it's mostly cream cheese and way too much dill. It has a very pretty presentation but I would probably get a different sandwich. Also the matcha is too sweet and not my thing. read more

I have wanted to try Sydney for a long time, but never had a good opportunity. I ended up going to the location on Exchange Street on a quiet Sunday morning and I'm so happy I did. They had a good number of options on the menu. I ordered a chocolate raspberry latte and my boyfriend ordered a matcha latte. I also ordered a classic breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, and cheese) on a croissant and he ordered the bold breakfast sandwich while came on a bolo roll. We really enjoyed our food, drinks, and the crisp, clean ambiance in the restaurant. The waitstaff were super friendly and brought our food out to our table. My only complaint is that there really isn't great parking options for the Exchange Street location - which obviously isn't the restaurant's fault! It was really convenient for the people staying in the hotel next door, but for locals, parking wasn't ideal. We snuck into the lot across the street since no one was around, but I imagine during more busy times that would most likely be a pay to park lot. I hope to try the location on Thayer street, as there is more street parking available in that area! read more

Sydney Providence has excellent casual breakfast options for people who don't want to sit for table service. Their avocado toast is fresh, with lots of complex flavors and textures, and the watermelon rash is an excellent pop of color and crunch. I enjoyed that the egg was cooked perfectly over easy and that everything was cool enough that the micro greens did not wilt. The takeout box fits one toast nicely and not a generic takeout box that could cause things to tip over en route. I wouldn't be able to comment on ambiance as I have only had this as takeout but on cursory pass of the cafe, it looks charming, well lit, and a good place for studying or working read more

I used to frequent this cafe with family a lot. It was consistent with high quality coffee, fresh pastries, great sandwiches and fantastic vibe. The location is perfect close to the train station. People were friendly. Then the ownership changed and my family members moved away from living in the area. I haven't been back since. read more

Sydney Cafe and Bakery, inspired by the iconic city of Sydney, Australia, is a gem that offers so many surprises. This is not your average cafe. The display cases are filled with delectable pastries that are a feast for the eyes and equally delicious. It is so difficult to choose just one treat. It's a good thing there's a points program via their custom app. Order it all and reap the benefits (free coffees, $ off savings). The strong variety of coffee options and flavor choices, echoes the boldness and innovation characteristic of Sydney's cafe culture. Its robust coffee blends combined with the innovative, out-of-the-box flavor add-ins mirror the creativity and depth found in Sydney's coffee creations, providing a refreshing escape into a world of delightful indulgence. The tomato and mozzarella quiche bites are among my favorite breakfast treats. For lunch, I'm a fan of their chicken salad wrap. Ingredients are fresh and delicious. Not to mention nicely packaged. The "Sydney After Dark" menu is a sophisticated take on spiked coffees and elegant cocktails. This exclusive menu elevates the evening experience, transforming the cafe into a chic destination for those seeking upscale, yet unpretentious beverages after hours. read more

we came when the kitchen is closing in a minute, the staff is nice enough to take our order, so grateful Beautiful environment , clean comfortable. I ordered Americano with which surprised me, it could be one of the best. Iced mohca and nitro are average The sandwiches are 'ok', look great but tasting average. So sad my favorite croissant is VERY cold and taste below average, lack of butter. Definitely could improve on the pastry read more

Today, I had a disappointing experience. The barista, Ceria (I think that's how you spell her name) was very rude to me while I was defending myself against two women who falsely accused me of cutting in line. The women were actually standing in the middle of the cafe deciding what to order not in line, and I simply walked around them to get in line. They became upset and claimed I wasn't first, but Ceria's behavior only worsened the situation and she didn't help resolve it. Overall, her rudeness made the experience worse, despite my efforts to clarify the situation. Ceria shouldn't work in customer service if she is unable to behave professionally and treat customers with fairness and kindness. read more

Amazing! The food was delicious, and the matcha was fabulous. It was really kind that they took the time to make it a bit sweeter for my daughter! The banana bread was perfectly baked, and not too banana flavored. The decor was cute and simple, just what you would want to see in the morning. Definitely recommend this place! read more

We dined here yesterday and loved it! Keep in mind that you order first at the counter and then the food will be brought to your table. I had the avocado toast and plussed it up with the smoked salmon and fried egg. Deliciousness on top of deliciousness! It is a little bit on the pricey side ($16) when you add on the extras but so worth it. The cheese on their did give the open face toast some extra saltiness but delicious nonetheless. Hubby got the bolo which was very good - soft, warm bread with cheese/ ham. It was smaller than we thought it would be. We tried a variety of iced coffee drinks and they were all very good and oatmilk is available which is always a plus. read more

Great find for breakfast! I was staying at the Renaissance so I was looking for a near by breakfast place. The hotel has limited hours for breakfast along with limited food options, so why not explore! I think Covid has impacted hours so Panera and Cheesecake Factory located next to the hotel were not open for breakfast. No problem... I got to check out more of the city. It was a nice walk (about 0.3 miles away) to Sydney. I got to walk right past the Capitol Building, which I loved! As I approached Sydney, I could tell it was super cute. There was inside and outside seating, but I opted for inside right against the window. I ordered the avocado smash with smoked salmon and a hot matcha latte with almond milk (unsweetened). I food came out like a piece of art! So fresh and beautiful! I almost didn't want to eat it, but the dinosaur in my stomach said otherwise! I didn't finish my matcha latte, so I was able to get a to go cup for my walk back. The staff at Sydney is so nice too! read more
