Not only with the content creators, but also with area firefighters who choose their nitro cold brew over Dunkin’—which says a lot in New England. This casual café has monthly specials, like strawberry milk or caramelized banana that’s like if bananas foster met an iced coffee. Beyond the coffee, go for the Cole’s breakfast sandwich, which adds avocado and poblano aioli to a BEC on an english muffin.

What started as a coffee cart that was crafted in 2016 in co-founder Audrey Finocchiaro’s parents’ basement with the help of then-boyfriend and co-founder Sam Lancaster has certainly come a long way. Today, Nitro Bar exists in not one but four brick-and-mortar locations: the flagship location in Dash Bicycle Shop located on the West End of Providence, two Newport outposts, and a seasonal spot in Little Compton. Audrey and Sam bring the same boundary pushing, community-minded ethos to this location as they did with that original coffee cart—and of course, the same silky-smooth nitro cold brew on tap.

A few years ago, 20-something entrepreneurs Sam Lancaster and Audrey Finocchiaro got their start selling nitro cold brew coffee out of a hand-built cart made with scrap wood. Since then, they’ve installed their taps in some 50 Rhode Island and Massachusetts restaurants and have opened one of the hippest coffee shops in town, The Nitro Bar. Located within Dash Bicycle Shop, their whitewashed cafe serves hot and iced espresso drinks, as well as the signature, ultra-smooth nitro coffee.

I’ve been spending a lot of time at this new coffee shop on the west side, which opened in the winter and shares a space with Dash bicycle. Known for their Nitrobrew, which is locally sourced and brewed, the frothy cold coffee comes out like a Guinness with no need for cream or sugar. They also serve up some delicious drinks such as iced horchatas and lattes with a twist and light fare such as bagels, churros and empanadas.

The Nitro Bar is renowned for its exceptional nitro cold brew, which is infused with nitrogen to create a smooth, creamy texture and rich flavor. This specialty drink is a favorite among customers, offering a unique coffee experience that stands out from traditional cold brews. The Nitro Bar prides itself on perfecting this technique, making it a must-try for cold brew enthusiasts.

As the name suggests, here is where you go when you want epic Nitro cold brew. Before the Nitro bar, was the Nitro cart and you can find many of them scattered throughout Rhode Island. In order to give the people what they want, they opened a permanent location for the Nitro Cart, known as the Nitro Bar (with another location in Newport).

Having coffee together at The Nitro Bar is one of the most romantic things to do in Providence. This is a coffee shop where you can have delicious coffee with your partner. There are a lot of different coffee drinks to choose from, so you both can have the coffee you like most!

The Nitro Bar: The Nitro Bar is the best spot to get your craft latte and breakfast sandwich fix. Not to mention, their cold brew is divine. The Nitro Bar even has their own Nitro Cart available to rent for events and functions.
