Was hoping to take a couple hours away from the home office this fine afternoon to get out of the house. Curious if anyone has a favorite spot they could suggest that’s semi-quiet, has decent coffee and WiFi to take the laptop?

The downtown branch of the Providence Public Library underwent a huge rennovafion a few years ago and it has plenty of work spaces that are more cozy than your average coffee shop without the pressure of having to buy something. Can’t recommend it enough.

They did a great job with it, it's so cozy in there.

For real. That was my favorite spot in the city.

Joe's kids weren't interested in keeping it going. We were / are heartbroken. Miss them so much 💔

Madrid European Bakery. It's semi quiet, though sometimes pretty full of people working.

Lived in Wayland for 4 years. As much as I like their pastries, the sit down section can get real loud on busy days

Small point cafe but if you’re willing to go a little farther the coffee depot in warren is super comfy

I love Bolt at the RISD Museum

If coffee isn't a must-have, try District Hall at 225 Dyer St, which is a public coworking space. Usually quiet, solid Wifi, open and sunny. https://districthallprovidence.org/public-lounge/

Poindexter at the Biltmore is really good. There's plenty of space with lots of tables, or you can just take your coffee and go sit in the hotel lobby.

Bolt Downtown (Washington street) is a great urban coffee shop with a nice vibe and wifi.

If Warwick's not too far, Brewed Awakenings is a good spot.
