Dave’s Coffee – Rhode Island’s Hidden Treasure Worth the Drive
Whether you’re a local sailor or just drifting through the Ocean State, Dave’s Coffee is a harbor well worth anchoring at. Tucked along the coast with locations like Charlestown and Providence, Dave’s isn’t just a coffee stop—it’s a destination.
We made the voyage not just for the coffee, but for the bakery treasures that come out of that humble little kitchen—and let me tell you, it was well worth every mile.
Their cold brew is legendary, smooth as sea glass and strong enough to wake the saltiest of souls. The espresso drinks? Balanced and rich, with that perfectly roasted depth you hope for but rarely find. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, the coffee syrup (a Rhode Island staple) is bottled up and ready to take home.
But let’s talk about that bakery case, shall we? It’s filled with house-made items that rival anything you'd find in a big city patisserie. From seasonal scones and muffins to chewy cookies and one of the best coffee cakes this side of the Atlantic—it’s not just good. It’s “worth the drive” good.
The vibe inside is cozy and coastal, like stepping into your favorite local café where everyone’s friendly and the pastries are always fresh. Staff is quick, helpful, and seems to genuinely enjoy being part of the experience.
If you haven’t made the trip yet, don’t wait for calm seas—just set course for Dave’s. A warm drink, fresh baked goods, and a seat by the window await.

The Coffee Milk Latte was delicious! I highly recommend this drink. I ordered a donut, and it was fresh. Parking can be difficult during the weekends and Summer.

Dave’s never disappoints. Some of the best coffee I have ever had (and I’m a true coffee lover) the garden is so beautiful to sit and have a cup of coffee ☕️

Worth the drive! Decided to drive down to Rhode Island from Boston to look for Trolls, had to stop by and grab coffee.. did not disappoint. Recommend everything to eat there.

Just as or energy was starting to dip on our drive we saw a sign for Daves Coffee and pulled over unsure if they would even be open by Kate Narch as most places we passed were closed for the winter but we need not have worried. We ordered two coffees Latte and a Cappuccino they also have a good selection of cakes so we also took a blueberry muffin and cookie which were both delicious. Would 100% recommend a visit if you are passing and in need of refreshments, they also sell the coffee beans online.
