Borealis Coffee Company

Great coffee shop we went for the lighting of the Riverside tree lighting. We have been going since it started. We weren't happy this year though they lit the tree without telling the people inside and we missed the lighting. We were getting coffee. The people around us all felt the same. Why couldn't they come in and tell us. Oh well that's what happens I guess.

Hidden gem. Staff if phenomenal and the breakfast sando… Excellent. Prices are high but pretty standard for quaint New England cafes. Plenty of seating if you want to hang out plus a whole bunch outside for warm day. I’ve been living in east providence for 5 months and I can’t believe / regret that I haven’t stopped here before today. Try it out!

The Riverside cafe is a true gem. Coffee and food are very good and fairly priced. Staff are very pleasant / helpful. Their beans are excellent. They have some cool ‘accessories’ too - love their mug and its design! It is small inside, yes. The outside area is wonderful 3/4 of the year. Great for bikers as it is right on the path. Clean restroom. I usually stay there and relax, read, chat with friends or make new friends. A GREAT addition to Riverside, and I drive from Cranston to visit. No complaints…

Best lil coffee house! Took a trip from downtown providence to explore Riverside and it was well worth the trip. Had a cold brew w a shot of mocha - excellent! No wonder they were voted best ice coffee in RI 2020. They had this overnight oats w apple cinnamon compote on top thing and it was hands down the best overnight oats I’ve had! Ate outdoors in their cute outdoor patio. Free wifi and filtered water. Great ambiance, nice staff. Aces!

Fantastic find on my bike ride from Providence on a late fall afternoon. With the bike path literally right behind this cafe that was once a train depot. Plenty of drink specials that the friendly baristas are eager to make. Light snacks perfect for refueling for more riding. Relaxed and welcoming inside as well as outdoor seating. Come and enjoy!

Excellent customer service, very friendly and great coffee. I was looking for good quality coffee like this for years. My wife and I drive 20 miles to drink a real coffee cups and enjoy that peaceful place, we find very interesting place, decoration (old fashioned) old pictures, pictures on the wall with information about what the place was like and the city before. You can actually enjoy the coffee, use board games, enjoy the place and have a good time even with free high-speed wifi, if you're someone who likes to enjoy the outdoors, with good weather you can use their tables and chairs from outside.
