I hate to start a review of one place by mentioning another, but I really miss Reflections. And have felt all but lost since they closed so unceremoniously back in December(?). But I mention this only because having finally made it over to White Electric, the lost have been found. Great food and coffee. Also a great range of seating depending on your mood/needs. Lots of tables with outlets close by for laptop work. Wireless network that popped on like a charm, even with my temperamental laptop. Cafe tables for small groups for talking and studying. Comfy loungy chairs for, well, lounging. Great art all around. Especially their name, spelled out on the wall in all manner of old rusted tastefully (and securely) hung farming implements. If only we can convince them to stay open until 9 on weekdays!

On any given day, White Electric is filled with the coolest of Providences locals. Situated outside of the Brown students usual walking radius, the crowd is more mellowed and less eager to see and be seen. (Note: Coffee Exchange on Wickenden could be considered White Electrics collegiate equivalent). The menu ranges from cups of joe to greens-heavy sandwiches and wraps, and includes samplings from local bakeries to fill the gaps. Come with 100% battery if you plan on typing up the next Great American Novel, for finding a plug close to your table is a battle.

This may be one of my new favorite coffee shops in Providence. It is a super hip place, yet anyone would feel welcome stepping in. The latte special is what lured me in, I tried the Nutella latte. Yum! They have a lot of affordable and delicious treats to try! Quite a difference between other shops in the area. It looks like this place is popular to work, study and catch up with friends, but be cautious that the seats were full before 8 when we came during the week!! Definitely a must stop!

This place only offers a limited menu. This means everything they have here is really great. After moving into the neighborhood, my boyfriend and I have become regular fixtures here for the amazing bagels. The people who work here are all great and friendly and all around customer service is great too. Additional tip: Ive tried the hot chocolate all over Providence and this place has the absolute best.

Im honestly not sure what all the hype is. The coffee is pretty good, but I wouldnt say its any better than Starbucks or the other typical coffee shops. The food is fairly good, but nothing amazing. Im only rating as high as I am because I really like the White Electric Coffee Stout at Trinity Brewhouse which uses their coffee. (probably would be good with any coffee).

Looms like a dive from the outside but welcomed by Cool people, interesting atmosphere with this retro 80/90s feel. Legitimate bagels and good coffee. Id like to see an introduction to the slow brew scene and emphasis of single origin roasts. I had a bagel and lox with cream cheese and red onion. Quite Delicious and fresh!

this place has a kind of cold coziness. just dont look up. there may be rusted weapons poised to fall on your head. the coffee is good, and you cant go wrong with a sandwich. also: fantastic oversized double-helical filamented light bulbs in the fixtures above the counter.

Yummy dark roast. Glad to see that they roast their own beans and sell it by the pound and half pound. Easy to find on Westminster. Street parking. Plenty of seating and nooks to camp out in and funky art on the walls, all the characteristics of a good coffee spot!

A local gem. Great coffee, great ambiance. No frills, no fuss--just good people dedicated to their craft creating quality, caffeinated deliciousness. Just what you expect from an independent coffee shop in a vibrant city like Providence.

The coffee wasnt bad, a little pricey. The staff is not exactly friendly. VERY limited seating. Not enough electrical outlets for people who want to work on laptops. Prepare to stand up and eat your sandwiches and drink your coffee.

I love their house-blend coffee, the atmosphere is nice and cozy. It definitely has a West-Side hipster vibe, but whether thats good or bad is up to your tastes. I love the place and stop by almost every day on my way to work.

Its slightly expensive. Some of their employees arent very responsive. But it does have a very cozy environment. Its the kind of place where I would do some casual working on my laptop for a couple of hours

Friendly employees, fast service, excellent coffee, many locals coming and going (excellent sign to me as a tourist). Crowded/lack of seating only potential negative but after all it is a coffee shop

Danny Levy

Good green tea, not very strong though. Some staff were nice, some not. Love the hipster-y vibe of the place and the pacman game in the back. Fair prices too. Recommended.

Nice coffee shop atmosphere. Welcoming of all. Good coffee choices. I had a pumpkin spiced latte. Very good. Not too much seating. Has sandwiches for breakfast and lunch

Great coffee place with excellent snacks and lunch options. Sandwiches are great and decently priced. Inside is a good place to meet friends or do some work.

Great coffee, great atmosphere, and somehow almost always able to get a seat inside even on a weekend. Its my go-to coffee shop.

Christopher Cautillo

Great coffee, great food and wonderful service. I make White Eletric an almost daily stop. A must for anyone in Providence

Quirky decor, cozy, with local art for sale on the walls. Hipster but accessible to all types. Local bagels and pastries.
