Cafe Choklad - Providence

The manager (older white haired woman) was very unfriendly and hostile. When I asked about what type of coffee she was visibly annoyed and then from the moment my wife and I sat down to start working she stared at us the entire time. We will never come back here.

I thought this place was a college friendly cafe because it was located right by RISD and Brown University; however, I was completely wrong. I came into the cafe expecting to buy a coffee and study for my finals. When I first came in, the lady at the register told me I couldn 't sit on the couches because I wasn 't ordering lunch. Therefore, I sat on the window side. Later, she came over and told me I was being to loud on the phone but this was a cafe where people could talk. Before closing, she told me directly just to let you know, you can 't just spend $4 and sit here for 4 hours. I didn 't expect that I had to pay more just to sit and study when there were so many empty spots in the cafe and not many customers. This experience has discouraged me from coming back as a college student.

Cuban and Norwegian Smoked Salmon sandwiches were incredible. Pecan pastry and coffee were amazing too. Nice Swedish atmosphere and comfortable seating. Super friendly staff as well.

Despite living in RI forever I had never been here, boy was missing out. This place hits all the marks food and coffee-wise. Small quaint atmosphere, take your parents here if they're visiting etc.

Eclectic and cozy place, with nice selection of coffee flavorings (I opted for pistachio) and a flavorful menu. The bread and pastries are amazing! ?
