Nitro-Bar started as a cart years ago and has now expanded to several locations in RI and is branching out to NYC soon! 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. read more

Saying that I'm obsessed with their delicious cold brew and their unique flavors is an understatement! 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!!! read more

I would love to give this place five stars, but it is very overly priced and the inside is so small and jampacked. The service is rush rush, which I'm sure it's because it's slammed in there. They really do need to expand their space because I was not able to enjoy my first visit here.. Prices are over moderate... $10 for a 20 ounce caramelized banana latte with their cold foam. They put way too much banana flavor in it. The cold from was delicious, but very, very thick and hard for me to get a sip of coffee through it, it's more like a whipped frosting. The coffee was pretty good too just overly banana flavored. I'm not sure when I will go back to this establishment, maybe if they expand the store. It was just way too loud and crowded. read more

My friend saw this place on TikTok so we had to stop by and see if it lived up to the hype. I really enjoyed my drink and even got help from the worker when deciding, which I really appreciated. I was debating between the cookie butter and raspberry matcha whipped cream top. But the raspberry mixed with the matcha was ultimately the better. There's seating around the cafe and it's also combined with a bike shop! read more

I've been here three times so far- the first time I came I got a cookie butter latte & coconut latte. I wasn't a fan to be honest the first time, their coffee beans I think are Ethiopian so they have that mineral/ like dirt taste. The second time I went I got the red velvet latte/ matcha and I added the whip, it made the WORLD of a difference. I see why they're known for their whip for sure. Id recommend getting their whip with whatever drink u choose and then id say it's worth it. Their rosemary salt bagel is to die for too read more

Ok so first time at the nitro bar so I had to try the nitro for my cookie butter drink. It is definitely strong. Very good, but if you're usually a latte girly like me, get it with the espresso instead! But that's a personal preference suggestion! My friend really liked hers with the matcha as well! My other friend tried the Caramelized banana one and was not the biggest fan of it all, but honestly to each their own! I always recommend trying it for yourself! Definitely threw me off when I walked in and there was a bike store attached to it! But I still the location is prime! Staff is very friendly and I'd definitely return again in the future! read more

The Nitro Bar- Providence - Cookie butter foam nitro brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

The best and most consistently great coffee shop in town, even when super busy. The one downside is that the line on weekends can be super long. It's totally worth the wait, just make sure you bring your patience. Even on a weekday, the line may be short but to wait for food and coffee took about 25 mins to come out. Once again, patience is the key at Nitro and it's worth it every time. The coffee shop itself isn't anything fancy - you do get the bike shop next door if you want to kill time while you wait. There are a few counter seats but they are mostly taken up by people waiting. I wish there was more seating so you could stick around for a little longer or meet a friend. I love their fun drinks and their seasonal menu - the flavors they come up with are so good! I had the chai with maple sea salt whip on top - it was amazing. The cherry vanilla matcha was also very good. The pesto smash was delicious too. The egg was cooked perfectly and the avocado added a nice creamy touch. The breakfast sandwich was also great! You really can't go wrong with anything you order here. read more

Banana iced latte from here was so good! Not captured, but 10/10 experience! Line was pretty long but worth it. They did forget to make our order, but we got a free blueberry muffin for having to wait longer than needed. Accommodating staff. Small on the inside so hard to get seated to eat, but it was a quick in and out for us! read more

Tried this for the first time after seeing it all over TikTok. Went on a rainy/cloudy Wednesday at 12:30pm. There was about 15 people in line in front of me and maybe 5 people waiting on their orders. Only took 10 minutes to get to the cashier/order and another 2 minutes waiting for my drink. It's very small in there so half of the line you have to wait outside. I ordered a small caramel iced banana latte made with espresso and skim milk. Overall it's pretty good, but just average. Definitely better than Dunkin or Starbucks but not AMAZING like I was expecting (that might be TikTok's fault for hyping it up so much). The syrup sits at the bottom of the drink and is impossible to stir around and disperse in the drink. I appreciate the syrup using actual bananas but I also wish it wasn't chunky (banana chunks). Make sure you grab a straw too at the counter- you definitely need one to stir!! I would come back only because I'm interested in what specialty drinks for fall they will have. This place definitely has creativity with flavors as well which I like. The prices are pretty high too. $7.25 for a small? And a tip on top of that? Ain't no way. Also- they only have 5 bar seats inside, taken up by people working on computers. There was also a customer who brought a cat in and sat at the bar (I'm allergic to cats). read more

The drinks are nothing but awesome. I would love to catch the train to taste that cookie butter cream again. Rasberry chocolate cream on the other hand does not hit me that much. I love how cute the mug color is so I got one. The staff were not nice but maybe they had to serve too much customers, I hope they get more staff. Overall the drinks are not bad for the price, but they could be nicer. read more

The food? SENSATIONAL. The coffee? Severely underwhelming. The line was out the door both times I went by, but braved it the second time. The location was easy to find and I like the vibes. The cashier was friendly and the wait for my items wasn't too long. Cinnamon Sugar Latte - 8/10. I got the version with cold brew and thought the flavor was good! It wasn't sweet, at all, which I would expect (and look for) in a drink that has "sugar" in the name. Needed more syrup! Caramelized Banana Latte - 7/10. I got this one with espresso. I think the problem is that the baristas didn't stir it at all. The banana purée was settled at the bottom which impacted my first impressions. Even when I stirred, it just tasted like it didn't come together. Another drink that I would expect to be a shade sweeter and needed more complexity. B.L.A.T - 10/10. Really good version of a BLT! The poblano aioli gave it the little punch to take it over the edge. Pesto Smash - 10/10. Fresh, bright, and so good that you don't even consider adding meat to it. Chili Crisp Foccacia - 7.5/10. I would only suggest getting it heated, if possible. The room temp version lacked any good texture and need more chili crisp or an additional topping. Coffee Cake - 8.5/10. Solid coffee cake! read more

As a pilot I'm an avid Tik Tok user killing time on the app while we are on delays and The Nitro Bar was always on there and it looked good. It's always hard to find good cold brew coffee. So when I was in Providence RI I had to try it. I walked 2 miles from my hotel to this place. There was a line out the door which is a good sign, the cafe was clean modern, it was in a bike shop and gave me a Seattle vibe. 99% of the people in there were ladies in workout cloths who probably just came from Pilates. What did I try? I tried their Dark Horse cold brew, I mean they got famous off of their cold brew and this was marketed as their extra strength cold brew, I also added the caramelized banana purée. Coffee and banana, yea that will work. I was excited. I also added a piece of their coffee cake. Total was $16. These guys are not cheap. I got the coffee and I stirred it up really well for my coffee cake out of the container and started my 2 mile walk back to the hotel. I took the first sip and was wondering on 2 things. Where is the banana and where is the coffee!? This was the weakest tasting coffee and no banana flavor what so ever. I stirred it up again and no change. The coffee was not strong at all, it was watery and to be honest Dunkin has stronger cold brew than these guys. Also I was expecting banana flavor which I got zero of. I was just highly disappointed. Maybe their espresso is better but this is literally what they are known for. I would hate to taste what their normal cold brew tastes like. Total waste of time and money. Coffee cake was just our average coffee cake. I will say that the staff was nice. Overall it was underwhelming and I won't be back because it's not worth the 2 mile walk at all. I'll just go to Dunkin or even Starbucks for a better cup of coffee. read more

Excellent ingredients. 4.1/5 5) got the chocolate brownie which was misty and rich . Loved the white chocolate pieces and the berries inside . 4.1/5 All together the food and drink are great ! Very recommended read more

Finally made it to the famous Nitro Bar and it was... just okay? Insanely overpriced. Like $21 for two drinks overpriced. And one of them wasn't even an espresso drink. I was a bit taken aback. I did splurge for the nondairy milk of course in my cherry vanilla latte but still! It tasted okay but nothing special. I guess I just overhyped it a bit. I did like the vibe in here, it was very cool coffee shop vibes and the staff were amazing. There were a lot of people here but they were moving quickly. I just wish it had been more worth it. read more

This was next to a bike store and had bikes hanging inside. Cool spot, they have outdoor seating too. read more

Small coffee place attached to a bike store, interesting however they need to expand for space because the line was long and it was a little pricey. I got a caramelized banana latte, it was strong which was good but not worth $20 for 2 lattes. Their homemade cold foam was pretty good but it needs to sit for a little bit because it's super thick. I like trying coffee spots however I don't think I'd go for another time. It was just too small, expensive and the line is long. There also is very limited sitting space and I wouldn't suggest wheelchairs or strollers. read more

The food is good but very sweet however the line and wait is really long. Inside is really cute and workers are nice would recommend if you have an hour and a sweet tooth. read more

The staff are always great here. There's sometimes a long line and a bit of a wait. It's a small space so it can get a little tight but it never takes too long. The food is fantastic.

We drove from Boston to Providence to finally try the famous Nitro Bar! We waited a little over an hour in line (a Sunday afternoon) but I expected this with their new popularity. The coffee itself was good but fairly expensive, and the cashier wasn't super warm/friendly but i'm sure it was an overwhelming time of day. We both got cold brews with the seasonal maple sea salt sweetener that they had in the fall. You couldn't really taste this addition but the quality of the coffee was excellent. I can't say it was worth an hour and the money, but i'm sure some of their specialty drinks are worth the hype! Take what you will from this review :)) read more

I'm writing this review to ask The Nitro Bar to PLEASE bring back the watermelon lemonades this summer! Since last year, I've been hooked on the drink and am hoping to stop by for one again when the weather gets warmer. Speaking of hooked, this cozy, aesthetic, and super hip coffee shop deserves the hype! With something for everyone, I love how creative The Nitro Bar gets with their menu items - and of course, their TikToks (legends of marketing, for sure). One summer morning, I stopped by with my laptop to work remotely. By 10 AM, the seats inside and outside were already filled. Despite feeling slightly cramped, I loved the sense of community and bustle The Nitro Bar offered. TL;DR - the vibes were there, and I was all for it. I think you might've picked this up from the start, but I LOVE all things watermelon! The watermelon lemonade was super refreshing, with the perfect drink-to-ice ratio - not too sweet, not watered down. Both flavors - watermelon and lemon - were prominent and tasted far from artificial. For a caffeine kick, I picked up the blueberry matcha latte. It was light, and the flavors blended really well. The matcha tasted high quality, and I enjoyed every sip. Of course, I can't rave enough about how aesthetic the shop is - and so was this beautifully layered drink! As for bites, I went with the B.L.A.T, a hearty sandwich with bacon, greens, avocado and tomato on toasted sourdough. Parking can be a tad tricky if you're not already walking in the area. I loved that the location connects to the bike shop. Seating can also be tough to snag, especially if you're planning to settle in and work for a bit. That said, the café is clean, stylish and gives off such a chic, curated vibe. Overall, I was happy with my visit and can't wait to check out their other locations. Wishing you continued success, Nitro Bar - and if you're reading this, PLEASE bring back those watermelon lemonades! read more

A coworker asked me to come here on my trip to Rhode Island and this place did not disappoint. Really cute eclectic atmosphere with fantastic drinks, really smart and dedicated staff. As a barista, I was extremely impressed with the work of everyone there. The menu is clearly built by someone with great taste, all the selections were beautifully curated. This place was so busy, I even jokingly said that this would be my nightmare if I worked here, even though it is so cool. I am beyond impressed and the hype is definitely worth it. Pros: Cute atmosphere, great menu, not too crazy of prices considering what they're making. Super impressive staff, genuinely had my mouth agape at the sequencing and speed these drinks were coming out at. Kudos to all of you. Cons: pretty small cafe attached to a bike shop so there is a bit of traffic. Not a lot of seating, but again, the area is just too small for that. Wish menus were a little more accessible when waiting outside, but that's a preference and not a big complaint. read more

Decided to drop by the Nitro Bar on a road trip after seeing all the TikTok hype about the cherry vanilla latte. Overall I liked the flavor of the cherry vanilla latte. Definitely something you can't get everywhere. But I personally don't love when my drinks feel gritty and somewhat chunky.

Today I woke up after 5 hours of sleep and desperately needed a caffeinated beverage to pull me out of my slumber. Nitro bar has always been my go-to because of their delicious, unique drinks, so I got on my car and went straight over. I love the Wilbur- I always get it iced with nitro cold brew, and it comes with yummy coconut syrup, cinnamon, and coconut milk. Within an hour of drinking 1/8 of the large drink, I am having heart palpitations but am ready to conquer the day. All jokes aside, the drinks are great even though they are more expensive than other local spots. Their food is also delicious, and I know that whatever I order is something I cannot get anywhere else. In the warmer weather, grab a drink and sit outside on their patio with a friend to have a great start to your day :) read more

This place went viral on TikTok so expect a longer line than you would have, but it is delicious I ordered the blueberry Matcha because I don't like coffee and it was so good. The blueberry is a muddled purée so you get chunks of blueberry while you drink your drink. It was so fun and delicious. I got a sandwich sandwich and it was so good. It was nice and toasty warm so you know it was made fresh and all the flavors were so delicious. I would totally get this again. The location itself is right next to a bike shop so they share a roof and it's pretty interesting how they did it but it's pretty cool. It's more on the edge side, fun and bikey. The place is clean and definitely just has like a café ambience. They do not have that much seating inside so better to opt for the outdoor seating which is more vast and more spacious. read more

The Nitro Bar- Providence - Cortado - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This Nitro Bar location in Dash Bicycle Shop on the West End of Providence opened in the winter of 2018 and is their first brick and mortar location (600 square foot space). Whenever I pass by, there are always people lining up to get their hands on their craft lattes and breakfast sandwiches. I recently came here for the first time on a Sunday morning around 10:45am. There was a line that ended right outside the door. As you walk in, you'll see drink and bites menu on a table, a refrigerator with wraps, salad, kombucha, apple juice, and some other items, and their merchandise. By the register, you'll find a list of their seasonal specials. There were so many drinks that caught my eye. Some drinks come in two sizes-small (16oz) and large (24oz) and some drinks come in one size as well as some drinks come iced or hot. I ordered a large iced blueberry matcha for $8.00. The drink had house-made blueberry simple syrup combined with matcha and your choice of milk (I chose Whole Milk). I really enjoyed this drink. The matcha itself was not sweet so with the blueberry simple syrup mixed in, it gave it a little sweetness but not overly. Inside there are a few countertop seats by the formed line and by the barista. Outside there are a few tables and my friend and I grabbed one. It was the perfect way to start a Sunday. Staff were friendly and my drink was ready in no time. I can't wait to come back and try some of their other drinks. The Nitro Bar also has 2 other brick and mortar locations in Newport. read more

A solid coffee spot in Providence - the nitro I had was very cocoa forward, which isn't entirely my jam but for many I'm sure would hit the spot. A lot of the variety was in flavoring rather than different types of coffee, so not as many actual cold brew roasts as I'd anticipated but a cute spot nonetheless. Be prepared for a line, but kind staff working hard to get thru it quick. read more
