Best vibe coffee discovered so farr

Considered a 4 Star rating because they don’t open until 8am, which I find annoying as a coffee drinker - but I was thoroughly appeased once I tried the coffee. I don’t care what time of the day they choose to serve it when it tastes that good.I ordered a Cortado and a drip cup of Columbian (Covid has them not doing V60 pour overs). The shot in the cortado was perfect. Well balanced, no acridity, and subtle sweetness. Best I’ve had.The drip coffee was delicious. It’s drip, but the quality of the bean and the excellence of their process behind the counter just made it an excellent cup of coffee.I also grabbed a breakfast sandwich - I had gotten hungry waiting for them to open, after all. Eggs were velvety, brioche bun was pillowy. The decadence was well beyond what I typically ask of a breakfast Sammy. I can not complain. I recommend it heartily.Service was friendly and clearly very competent in their craft. If you’re in Rhode Island, you’ll be missing out on something significant if you don’t get a cuppa this coffee.

A nice little coffee shop right in a hotel lobby. easy enough to find, really cool interior, and very tasty drop coffee

It’s a beautiful space! The coffee was pretty good, but we didn’t love the doughnuts-they were a little too dense. I was just visiting, but regular customers were moving in and out and chatting with the baristas. For the half hour I spent there, I was a part of the local culture.

Cozy, little coffee shop with couches and magazines to take a break and get caffeinated. Roast their own beans and do it well, flavor of the house drip was great. With a little oat milk, couldn’t be better.

Cobalt blue velvet sofas. Enough said. I will be back!

Super friendly staff, blessed my life with an incredible Americano 🙌

Super friendly baristas with an excellent pour and Knead designer doughnuts. Hotel wifi is free and good. Space is limited though.

I actually didnt initially plan to review this place, as it almost seems like apart of the Dean. But I really enjoyed my experience with them. Their coffee drinks are very well made and their staff seemed very professional and trained. After ordering drinks one of the baristas asked me what our plans were, and so I explained the place we ended to have breakfast. He quickly got out his laptop and showed me another place that was even closer with more options. He even let me scroll through the menu. This was consistent with the type of service that The Dean offered in general, very personal and helpful. Id stop in at the Bolt even if I werent staying there!

Tucked away in the Dean Hotel a top-notch coffee book, with excellent espresso drinks and a mix of comfy and work-y seating.

Wow! Best coffee Ive had anywhere in the last six months at least. Fantastic little place.

Great eclectic coffee shop in the heart of Providence roasting their own beans. Americano was on point and the Barista was super friendly and informative. Highly recommend checking this place out. Excellent Third Wave experience. They also have a second location.

Cozy little spot for a quiet cup sitting on their couches or stop by and get it to go. The coffee is delicate and a great morning roast in my opinion. They have some knead donuts first thing. I tried the cortado which was lovely and the drip coffee. The barista said they use the same beans/toast for the espresso and the drip and I really enjoyed both. Definitely worth stopping by.

I love the interior and atmosphere! Its very hipster and artsy! Even the bathroom is very beautiful!

Coffee here is one of the best flavours Ive had since leaving Sydney. Ive found even the good espresso places here never seem to have enough strength of flavour, but this place does.

The delightful demeanor of the barista pairs well with some exceptional craft coffee (latitude 49) - photo from the alley out back

The atmosphere, food and service were excellent.

Their coffee saved my day beautiful place and great service

Great coffee place! Friendly worker and get the NorEaster

Wow. Just wow. Nestled in the heart of the city, Bolt is doing some really innovative things with coffee. Yes, they have all the standard fare from coffee and lattes to macchiatos and more, but they are also preparing some really unique drinks you just dont see anywhere else. Take, for example: the refresher. I love coffee and I love ginger beer, but I would never have thought of mixing the two. Plus, they even top it off with a spicy ginger chew candy! Somehow, its a match made it heaven especially for city strolling.

Solid coffee and neat spot

The lattes here are so delicious!  I’ve had pretty much everything on the menu.  The staff here is the BEST.  Everyone is very personable and attentive.

This coffee is so delicious! Staff is super nice. Good selection of outlets. Dog friendly! Seriously dont skip this place, its awesome

Absolutely brilliant. The Espresso Tonic is unequivocally everything you could possibly want. Their aptitude for coffee is clearly unrivaled. Genuinely; thank you Bolt Coffee.

Good latte and nice decor.

The best espresso and latte in Providence, in fact they pull the best espresso in all of Rhode Island. Up until recently, I would use my travel excursions to Boston, NY, Seattle & San Francisco to get my espresso fix. Finally little Rhody has a contender. If you are fortunate enough to meet Brian the owner, he will craft your drink with such precision, that you feel the practice, care and thought he puts into each cup. This place is worth a trip. Its become part of my ritual when Im in town. You may even see me lounging in the Hotel lobby with my dog & laptop, enjoying myself immensely.

These are pretty good roasters! The beans are a little dark but end on a buttery note. Very akin to other east coast roasters with heavy chocolate notes. Small sit space in the dean hotel with pastries from knead.

Its been a while since I went to a real coffee shop, but Ive been to some really good ones. I couldnt have been more impressed. This was a very small place, and kind of hipster, if thats what youre looking for. If its not, its still worth checking it out. The coffee was some of the best Ive had, and the barista was nothing short of expert. I say that with sincerity, as he truly was a master of his craft, which is a rarity nowadays.

Such a pleasure. Barista is such a pro ... artistic, friendly, and a master of efficiency, delivering little sips of coffee, comfort & cheer in turn. Mocha was smooth and balanced. Highly recommended for a flavorful way to start the day!

Nice pull. Interesting espresso blend. Not my favorite espresso but decent. Tasty pastries. Edited review: went back two subsequent days. Pulls deteriorated. Espresso was served in a large handless mug which meant that it cooled off very quickly. Had very little crema. If you are an espresso lover maybe try somewhere else (however in full disclosure I didnt find a place downtown that was better).

Great ambiance. A cute little coffee shop located in the Dean hotel. I am not a big coffee addict but I got a small iced coffee just to try it. To be honest...I dont think I would be able to taste the difference between this $3 dollar coffee and a $1 coffee from McDonalds but this tasted strong and acidic when black. The flavors got better for me after adding milk and sweetener. I guess this shows you..once you go black you can go back.Service was good and friendly.

This is a great coffee shop! Definitely hipster, but welcoming! Seating is available with newspapers and books if you dont have anything to read.They have regular coffee and latte specials. I tried the NorEaster which was an 8oz. Eggnog latte with 2 shots of espresso. My husband ordered the mocha latte.The coffee was priced fairly for 2 shots of espresso, $4.5 each, however I would loved for mine to be bigger. Most of the drinks come in only 8 or 12 oz.We will definitely be back again!!

Best service, best coffee and beautiful spaces to sip and think.

Needed a good coffee to help with my jetlag and this place made a fantastic latte.

5 stars for being open on thanksgiving Good cappuccino.

The staff here is the BEST. Everyone is very personable and attentive.

The BEST cortado and latte I had will we were in Providence!

Barista was wonderful, late was stellar. Something about the creaminess of the milk really made the espresso stand out. 10/10 will go again.

Great coffee. Great service! Very cool atmosphere. Worth the extra change to enjoy a coffee here.

Sleek, ultra modern interior set in the minimalistic dean hotel. the ambiance was jazzy and good for reading a newspaper or magazine they have set out. four stars because the Burundi pourover was sadly weak!

Cant wait to go again 😀 great coffee 😁

Coffee was good and I even bought a bag to take home with me. But the space is small and I brought my laptop to do some work but there just wasnt anywhere to sit and do work. As a business traveler I probably wouldnt be back for that reason.However the barista guy (baristo?) was definitely very nice and helpful, really good people person although he was waiting on me before my coffee so.i wasnt as talkative:) but he described the coffees really well and asked me what I liked, selected a coffee and he certainly got it right!So basically this review is based on the overall experience for me.

Almost literally a hole in the wall, this place has beautiful decor, a charming, kind and helpful staff and some of the best coffee in the city. When I visited they were carrying Knead donuts, I bought one and it was the best donut Id ever had in Rhode Island

Great coffee. Not ideal for working on laptop though

Lovely staff.. Great coffee too

Great espresso. Friendly staff. I would recommend the Espresso Tonic. A rarity to find on a menu and they do it well.

Cozy but expensive.

Small but totally chill spot. Great for coffee explorers and experts because their brews are sophisticated! They have wifi. Beware of the rush, the line gets 12 people deep and the single barista holds his own, but the demand is real.

Always love popping into this beautiful space for a cup of coffee (usually iced) and a Knead donut to share with whichever coworker I grab to come along on the walk from the office!

Love the super pumped guy barista on Sunday. Nice to see someone who isnt like, too tired to be friendly! Amazing coffee!!! Thanks for having Knead doughnuts here. Just what I kneaded. Lolol

Came here for espresso while I was in town for a magic tournament. Very relaxing atmosphere and an excellent barista. Very tasty espresso.

Unpretentious and pretentious at the same time. Delicious coffee, enthusiastic guy behind the bar.

Great Coffee Shop! Very knowledgeable staff, fantastic espresso drinks and fresh coffee.

Great cup of coffee, wonderful atmosphere and a pleasant staff

I have become a huge fan of the atmosphere in this cafe. There is a great mix of students, artists, visitors, families and more that creating a really relaxing space for studying and people watching. The cold brew is really strong and fragrant. Also the baristas a creative with their coffee drinks and made me a great one with ginger a few weeks ago.The food is also lovely, though somewhat pricey. The avacado toast is great as well as the proscuitto and goat cheese toast.

Expertly made barista coffee. You could say a bit “purist.” Simple snacks and occasionally doughnuts to choose from. They sell quickly.Trendy but still friendly crowd. Relaxed, hip surroundings connected to The Dean. Cosy.

Amazing Blueberry coffee!

Best coffee in Providence by far. Get the cortado.

Delicious filter coffee and Knead donuts

Great place for coffee.

Very nice interior, makes you feel at home. Not to mention great mocha and Knead Doughnuts!

One of the best espresso drinks Ive had. The Woodsman was great, and the service was very friendly.

Always a terrifically sweet person behind the counter, but a 3 star because one person service is painfully slow and the pastries are too large, too limited in variety and too expensive. Coffee is decent and atmosphere funky.

One of my absolute favorite spots in providence. Great vibe, great service, great coffee.

We stayed at the dean hotel right above it. That morning I had the best cup of drip coffee that I’ve ever had in my life at Bolt ⚡️ Baristas are good here.

Slayer machine, 49th Parallel, Knead Bakery bites, staff that knows what to do and is the right level of friendly. Perfectly hip.

Excellent drip coffee and espresso in a small, cozy space. Drink local!

Its really nice inside and the hotel that hosts it - the Dean - is a great place.

Excellent v60 pour over and long back. Very cool vibe and friendly staff.

Friendly service and absolutely delicious, meticulously crafted espresso drinks make this a must visit! I am latte obsessed and seek out the best local shops wherever I travel and this place is at the top.

Great coffee and great staff. Good chat to start day off.

Friendly service and good coffee

The best place around for your caffeine craving.

Love their coffee, love their staff, and I look forward to every visit there!

Cute coffee shop in the Dean Hotel. Very friendly barista and good coffee.

Best coffee in Rhode Island. The service is amazing.

Ok tea and coffee, weird seating.

Best coffee in Rhode Island. The best staff a coffee place could have.

Expertly prepared coffee and nice people!

Good coffee, slower service, higher prices. Please get some damn skim milk!

Good vibes, amazing staff, always creating new drinks #gingersnap4ever

The only coffee Id drink in Rhode Island! The best around.

I had the gingersnap drink. Freaking gross. Who the hell puts cappuccino in seltzer water i wasted 4.50 and i should have went to freaking dunkin donuts. Sorry im no health nut but that just tasted like straight ass.

The coffee is smooth, like silk.

Bryans a cool dude and makes a great cortado.

The best almond late in Providence !

Friendly, knowledgeable, dog and child friendly.

Hard core espresso. NOT a Starbucks, will refuse to sell you some drinks.

Very pleasant.

The best!

Intimate, small, hip, and great coffee.

By far, the best coffee in town.

Great coffee, but cramped atmosphere.

Try the espresso tonic and gingersnap iced drinks.

Exceptional coffee and extraordinary hospitality

Great barista!

Expensive, but super fancy.

Best coffee in town

Get the woodsman
