    Was recommended this place by a local and it didn’t disappoint. For now you have to wait in line outside due to Covid but usually if you go inside there are huge buckets of coffee beans that fill the air w their aroma. I ordered the white chocolate mocha and it was one of the best coffees I’ve ever had.

    Coolest Cold Brew Brewing Aparatus in History. It's a must-see! Look at the pictures. That is a Cold Brew Coffee Brewing System, which drips 1 drop every second. Making for a Very Concentrated Cold Brew Coffee. Go try it. Prices are a little high for a Small Large Size but worth a cool atmosphere. There are so many Fresh Roasted Beans in compartments and a Big Ol Red Coffee Bean Roaster right in the store. Go check it out. The only drawback is that workers think you're crazy when you get excited about all this. Haha, and prices are a little high for a small large....only 24 oz large. But it's a super cool find. Go check it out !! The smell of fresh roasted beans is amazing and strong. Good luck, the Coffee Exchange.

    Cute spot to work! It was quiet downstairs, light music - and then it got bustling. Thankfully there is a calmer upstairs that was absolutely silent. The coffee and pastries were wonderful! I’d visit again :)

    During the pandemic: I love their freshly roasted coffee. I always buy from them whole beans to grind and make my own coffee at home. They know their business and they seem to care a lot about their customers. After the pandemic: now I can get inside and boy is it cozy. Love the space and their drinks. Still my favorite

    Found this place by accident while jogging along the water front. Glad I found because this was one the best Cortados that I had! No bitter or sour aftertaste and for once I almost regretted getting milk in my espresso compared to drinking it straight. Might have to go back again for just an espresso! They have Lina PB triple group head machine and an eversys espresso unit as well. My coffee was made with the La Marzocco unit. You can buy a wide range of roasted coffee as well. Only downside with this place is the limited food options. No doughnut or breakfast sandwiches. They have a few small pastries but I was not wowed by them. Did enjoy the coffee.

    I tried this coffee shop for the first time — Suggested by my husband. The chocolate/mocha iced coffee was found to be strongly flavored with chocolate, but not sweet enough. While not the best iced coffee experience, I still found this experience worth trying and rate the drink/coffee shop a 3/5.

    Coffee was amazing! I got the cold brew and it was super sharp with a great flavor. The service was helpful and fast even though the shop was super busy. I saw some getting freshly ground espresso beans here too. Very cool vibe to this coffee shop. Would definitely go back!

    No one would be disappointed by visiting this coffeeshop. There is a wide range of freshly roasted single origin coffee beans at the store, and the coffee is made in a wide variety of ways. This is on of my favorite coffeeshop in Providence, due to the quality and variety. Ideal for a date, perfect for studying or working, and superb for simply enjoying your cup of coffee.

    First time going here. Great little spot, easy parking. Staff were super friendly, ordering was quick, took a little bit for the coffee but place was busy. Awesome decor and fun to walk around while we waited. Tuxedo was outstanding, would recommend and will be going back to try other options. Need to try food too.

    SO MUCH potential - yet disappointing. Have tried it several times. I always have to wash down my table, despite there being 5 people behind the counter last time, at least two checking their phones. Their tea menu is pretty small and when I got a sencha it was pretty tasteless. Perhaps it was not too fresh. I get that it is a coffee shop, not a tea shop. The music downstairs is pretty loud and the AC high. In July to see people with sweatshirts on, probably indicates you could save on your electric bill and turn the AC down 1-2 points. Upstairs is the best choice if you are trying to get work done. A plant or two up there would go a long way. Have not tried their food. Would love to see more concern for the environment with some real cups being coffee cups cannot be recycled. Hopefully this will be seen as constructive and the owner will give my suggestions some thought. You seem busy on the weekends but I think there is potential for even more business.

    Solid coffee with plenty of seating and friendly service. Food options are minimal and just okay.
