I have to bring my kid to Providence to take an exam this Sunday but am totally unfamiliar with the city. Any recommendations for a place with great (or even just good) coffee where I could hang out and work on my laptop for a few hours on a Sunday morning?
TIA!
ETA: Thanks for all of these suggestions! Just amazing.
All good recommendations for coffee! I find that bolt and new harvest don’t really have the “sit and do work at a coffee shop vibe” they’re kind of small, with only a few tables. I did a lot of work at seven stars on point street! Lots of seating, and plenty of snacks, didn’t feel like I was taking up one of the few tables to be able to sit for a couple hours.
Great recs
Coffee Exchange on Wickenden St. They just reopened their indoor space. One of the best places for coffee in the state. I'd call ahead to see about their wifi. It has been a while since I've gone there.
Borealis in East Providence would be my first recommendation but it's about 10/15 minutes drive from Providence. Excellent coffee and they serve food too. Definitely have wifi and plenty of space to work.
Tons of good coffee in the city but Coffee Exchange is top tier and is the answer. I feel like every other place is a half coffee shop half breakfast bar. While I love that, if you're looking for a place that solely focuses their efforts on coffee in the city, its CoFx.
White Electric Coffee is also a great union shop that is a worker owned cooperative. They now have breakfast sandwiches!
Coffee Exchange on Wickenden has some of the best coffee I've ever had. Nice vibe too - especially now that the indoor seating is back. They used to have wiFi - don't know if they still do, but there's a library down the street.
Tea in Sahara is really nice vibes.
Ceremony off of thayer st. I think it’s technically on brook or Euclid
Dave’s Coffee on South Main has great coffee—it’s a smaller shop but they have wifi and a bathroom. Their pastries and breakfast sandwiches on their homemade English muffins are also solid. Would also echo others’ suggestions for coffee exchange, seven stars, bolt, white electric—you won’t be short on options :)
Coffee Exchange has awesome coffee and just reopened their indoor area w/ plenty of seating.
Wildflour for solid vegan and gf options! I also like the atomosphere in there in general
The Shop on Wickenden is nice, but small. Seven Stars Bakery has a few locations in Providence, and all have some space to work.
Some don’t have WiFi, though, FYI.
Good Coffee shops evvvvverywhere. They say Providence is the Seattle of the East
Bolt, Ellie’s, nitro cart, small point, brewed, borealis, coffee exchange - the list goes on.
Seven stars bakery
New Harvest on Sims ave
What area? I love Dave’s personally, seven stars is great too. So many places depending on what part of prov
Recently visited Providence and came here to echo Borealis Coffee Co. Another place that I really liked was Rise ‘n Shine Coffee Bar.

The Landing downtown just added coffee & they’re absolutely lovely !! Right next to the river, same building as capriccio’s

New Harvest, Bolt or Coffee Exchange are all in PVD, all very good.
Borealis is in East Providence (and just opened a second spot in Bristol!) and is also great.
