FUEL UP!
If you’re in need of a morning wake-up or an afternoon
pick-me-up, we have good news: there’s no shortage of
“cawfee” shops in Little Rhody.
THE NITRO BAR
Location: Providence
Try: You can never go wrong with its signature smooth and velvety
Nitro cold brew.
SOPHIE’S BREWHOUSE
Location: Exeter
Try: The house iced coffee and the iced macchiato are both A+.
WHITE ELECTRIC COFFEE
Location: Providence
Try: Indulge your taste buds in a creamy frozen mocha.
COFFEE N’ BAGEL CONNECTION
Location: Narragansett
Try: The mudslide, snickerdoodle and blueberry cobbler flavored iced
coffees are all fan favorites for good reason.
COFFEE GRINDER
Location: Newport
Try: Its hand-brewed, authentic Italian espresso is the ideal way to start
your summer morning in the City by the Sea. Take a few sips while you
sit on the Wharf’s Adirondack chairs and wave at the sailboats gliding by.
MAIN STREET COFFEE AND TOSCANA LOUNGE
Location: East Greenwich
Try: After picking up your regular cup o’ Joe in the a.m., come back
at night and step up your coffee game with one of nearly twenty sig-
nature espresso martinis (made with vodka or tequila).
CAFE TEMPO COFFEE HOUSE
Location: Warwick
Try: You won’t be able to resist its deluxe iced coffee menu items, like
the Bananas For Chocolate, the Nutty Irishman or the Turtle Delight.
Coffee Cabinet
Rhode Islanders are known for their affinity for
all things coffee-related (see: locals dumping
dollops of Autocrat syrup in their milk and
sipping iced coffees year-round), but don’t even
get us started on these creamy caffeinated
milkshakes. They’re one part coffee ice cream,
one part coffee syrup, one part cold milk, and all
parts delicious. If your taste buds are game,
head to Delekta Pharmacy in Warren.
Coffee isn’t
your cup of tea
(literally)? Get your
caffeine fix from
Schastea in Cranston
or Bubble Tea House
or Tea in Sahara in
Providence.
CUSTOM HOUSE COFFEE
Location: Middletown
Try: Though you can find its artisan beans and brews in cafes all over
the region, nothing beats getting a freshly roasted cuppa straight from
the source.
JUNK AND JAVA
Location: Westerly
Try: Order the “Barista’s Choice” (which have included such beverages
as the Snickers Latte) and pair it with a scoop of homemade gelato.
NEW HARVEST COFFEE ROASTERS
Location: Providence and Pawtucket
Try: The on-tap 100 percent black snapchilled coffee (and, if you’re
at the Providence location, follow up with a spirit or two).
