A college hill favorite, Blue State Coffee has become a breeding ground for Brown and RISD collegiates alike. On any given day of the week, Blue State is filled to the brim with students plugging away at their work work (or on Facebook), and it is not uncommon to have to wait a few minutes for a spot to free up. Strangely, my personal favorite item on the menu is the "Chickpea Tuna", which is outrageously priced @ $2.00 for a side, but incredibly addicting. Otherwise very reasonably priced, Blue State is also notorious for its jitter inducing iced coffee and offerings of bread from local bakeries / other snacks like yogurt and bagels. I will always give Blue State Five stars as it truly represents the Brown students predicament of whether or not to disappear into social anonymity in the library, or to study/see and be seen in Blue State (subtract a letter grade from score if you chose latter option).

Favorite coffee spot in providence! Drink: iced dirty chai. They make probably the best one Ive ever had. Delicious and their double shot addition to it is all you need to be your most productive! Snack: their apple cinnamon oatmeal with skim milk is the perfect snack for either breakfast or an afternoon treat. Delicious! Eat: tofu sandwich or their grilled cheese with tomato on cranberry walnut bread! Best possible choices ever! Delicious and they make me feel healthy - happy benefit!

Excellent espresso shots, clean, smooth, not overroasted beans. Very nice people. If you are lucky, a young lady will make your coffee who gets EXCITED when your order reveals coffee knowledge (e.g., "You do restrettos, right?" — "Yes!" — "Then Ill have two restretto shots in a 12 oz.cappuccino, whole milk, neither wet nor dry, thirds each."). Also nice selection of fresh pastries in the morning.

Went into Blue State Coffee five minutes from closing and ordered a coffee. They had already put away the roast I had ordered, so to compensate, they offered me a larger drink for the same price. This made my day! The staff was very friendly and the coffee was amazing. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Nice place to seat in and relax in the middle of the day. The "Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate" smoothie is tasty! Its not the best coffee shop in Providence, but it is a really convenient location near/on the brown campus. Also, its crowded usually, and thats not make the place relaxing at all!

Cute, friendly cafe in a vibrant Providence neighborhood. Food selection was broad enough to find something for everyone without trying to hard. Each dish I saw looked (& smelt) great. Thanks for a great experience & showing your business support for #charlottesville!

One of my favorite places to come after a run! I always get a mixed berry smoothie, its a bonus you can add protein powder to your smoothie. They also carry the gluten free bars and theyre delicious! Great atmosphere always!

Cool spot with good coffee, conveniently on Thayer and plenty of seating inside and out. Not necessarily a quite spot, if thats what youre looking for, conversation encouraged.

Great coffee and internet that works! Many of the other coffee shops on the Eastside have pretty bad internet but this one is very good so its a nice place to work!

Great atmosphere, good coffee, and light food. Tables are most likely taken by undergrads, but if you can get one it is a nice place to go work.

Great espresso drinks, one of my top five in Providence. Lots of room to sit and work, with some comfy chairs if you can snag them.

Coffee, service, and seating are good. I think the food is a little overpriced but the drinks are quite reasonable.
