Cafe Ava

Absolutely excellent first visit here! We got the iced Sweet Corn Latte with whole milk & the Salted Banana Pancake cold brew. We were pleasantly surprised by both!! Sometimes flavored coffees can be way too sweet & artificial tasting, but both our coffees were perfectly sweet! My boyfriend got Papa’s Cuban and devoured it. We came in when the POS system was down but the team was adjusting well to the problem.

This Latin coffee shop is top! The arepa “Papa’s Cuban” (chicken instead of pernil & add house sauce) was delicious and full of flavor. The pumpkin chocolate chip bread was absolutely amazing — 10/10. All of the drinks (cajeta latte, fresas con crema matcha & hibiscus tea) we tried were excellent. The customer service was good, everyone was kind and genuinely friendly. A place to come back! You are doing a great job, keep it up!

First time here.! I ordered an iced latte and asked for light ice. Then I saw they charged me $0.50… for less ice. Seriously? I’m being charged extra just to have fewer ice cubes? That makes zero sense. It’s not like I asked for anything fancy—just less of something. Honestly, it rubbed me the wrong way. Won’t be coming back ——— My reply to the owner’s comment: - You already charged me $5.75 for the drink and $0.75 for oat milk, which I was fine with. But adding a $0.50 charge just because I asked for LESS ICE doesn’t feel reasonable , especially since I didn’t ask for more ingredients. If that’s your policy, it really should be communicated clearly at the time of ordering. Hopefully, future customers will be informed so they can choose accordingly.

First time here and I recommend. I ordered the Tres Leche Iced coffee. First sip and it got me! I also ordered a sandwich, Papa’s Cuban on a arepa. It was delicious! I’m definitely going back soon.

My first time trying them. I'm from Boston and this trip was worth it. I don't drink coffee but I tried their Tres Leche Latte.... amazing. I had their Tres Golpes was so bomb. Wish they had more seating but the cafe is so beautiful with all the colors and Latin music and art everywhere. I noticed no restrooms but hopefully if they had a larger place they could get a unisex restroom for customers. Highly recommend them. A good take out of sit down if they have seats open. I'm glad I don't live closer because I would be there everyday. I'll make sure to visit every time I'm in RI.
