A lot of coffee shops in PVD dont seem to stay open very late, but my favs are Daves Coffee since you can always go down to the river with your coffee if seats are taken. The Shop has the nicest staff and is a nice outdoor hang as well. Coffee Exchange is good and reasonably priced and again, right by the river. I like the vibe of the Federal Hill Seven Stars. RISD museum is free on Sunday and has a nice hangey-outy coffee shop too.

I would suggest checking out Madrid European bakery. They have both great coffee and unbelievably good pastries.

There is a little gem of a cafe on Mineral Spring Ave in Providence--Ashur Cafe. I love this clean and well lit place.

Ashur Cafe has a mellow atmosphere,good quality service, well-made cofee and other drinks (crepes and hookah too!).

Borealis - by far the best roaster in the state with a cafe on the east bay bike path in riverside. They also recently opened another location in a much bigger space in a mill in Bristol.

Coffee Connection is my favorite! Located on Mineral Spring. Best coffee and breakfast/lunch 😋

Dave’s and I highly suggest one or their blueberry muffins to go with you coffee. If you head to East Providence, Borealis has great beans and great coffee

Nothing jumps to mind right in the city but if you want to venture out of Providence, try Coffee Depot in Warren for comfy chairs.

Edit: TIL Pastiche is now take-out only

I don't think it is permanent I think it's just the current sign of times as long as they stay open and I can still get all of their delicious desserts I will be a happy Rhode Islander.

Pastiche was the best cafe. Their arrogant staff can never answer when or why they decided to go with Takeout only
