About This Place

Located in the heart of East Greenwich, MainStreet Coffee is a vibrant café and bar that masterfully blends the art of traditional coffee crafting with an innovative cocktail experience. From early mornings to late evenings, this welcoming spot at 137 Main St offers an inviting refuge for coffee lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.

Start your day with an array of freshly baked breakfast delights—imagine the warm, flaky croissants, tender scones, or soft English muffins topped with savory eggs, cheese, and your choice of ham or bacon. The quiche of the day offers a comforting, savory bite that pairs beautifully with their expertly brewed Whole Milk Latte or a classic Cappuccino. For lunch, the menu delights with fresh, crisp salads like the Spring Salad Mix stacked with vibrant greens and garden-fresh vegetables or a hearty Rueben Sandwich that packs robust, savory flavors. If you're craving something lighter yet satisfying, the Italian Panini Pros and Spinach Pie are standouts that suggest deep, layered tastes reflective of genuine Italian inspiration.

But what truly sets MainStreet Coffee apart is its inventive cocktail menu, particularly the splendid selection of Espresso Martinis. Each variation—whether the Irish Espresso Martini rich with notes of smooth whiskey, the exotic Coconut Tequila Decaf, or the decadently creamy Iced White Chocolate Mocha—is expertly crafted to awaken your senses. Their Salted Caramel Espresso Martini delivers a perfect balance of sweet and savory, while the Whiskey Cold Brew marries bold coffee intensity with warming whiskey undertones.

The atmosphere here is just as compelling as the menu. Customers often comment on the eclectic and tasteful artwork adorning the interior walls, adding a cultural flair that sparks conversation and curiosity. The lively yet comfortable ambiance is perfect for both catching up with friends over drinks or savoring a quiet moment with a book during the day. The outdoor seating area is a favorite among patrons, offering a refreshing space to enjoy your beverages and snacks in a relaxed, social setting.

One of the most praised aspects of MainStreet Coffee is the exceptional service. Mike, the barista, is frequently highlighted as “THE MAN” of coffee expertise—a personable and quick professional who crafts the perfect latte every time. This personal touch creates a community feel that makes every visit memorable and welcoming.

For those who appreciate a good cocktail but prefer to keep it alcohol-free, MainStreet Coffee offers flavorful mocktails ensuring everyone leaves satisfied. As the day winds down, the café gently transitions into a spirited 21+ scene, making it a unique local hotspot for both coffee and cocktails.

From the warm, inviting aromas of freshly brewed coffee to the buzz of lively conversations and clinking glasses in the evening, MainStreet Coffee captures the heart and soul of East Greenwich’s social scene. Whether you’re swinging by to energize your morning, indulge in a midday treat, or enjoy an expertly crafted Espresso Martini after work, MainStreet Coffee promises an experience that feels both intimate and invigorating.

    If you love coffee, both traditional and infused...this is the place to be. It was packed with people from all different walks and eras. If you want non-alcoholic, traditional coffee, get there early...I want to say the cafe closes at 5...then the party turns 21+. However, they do offer mocktails. The interior walls feature some very cool artwork. The outdoor seating area is awesome. We saw couples seated at the tables with their pets. The sidewalk in front of the building is dressed in artwork.

    My first time there. It was Friday afternoon and a comfortable amount of people. I enjoyed a martini to celebrate my new home. I was able to talk with my friend without yelling. There was a level of background noise that I was sensitive to. Service was great.

    I lived above Main Street coffee for about a year and was in and out constantly. I worked 3rd shift so I saw the owner a lot when he would get here around 4am. Also was our landlord! But Mike who works behind the Coffee counter is THE MAN! Really quick at what he does and makes a perfect Latte. He knows his S*** about coffee! Very personable and nice! Love to have a quick conversation with him. If he’s not behind the counter he’s talking with the patrons! The way the sidewalk and painted and the interior to replicate a European cafe is awesome and it really sets a relaxing tone. There outdoor seating that has an awning over the tables and chairs Incase there a sporadic shower or it’s to warm and sunny. I highly recommends his place! High quality coffee and a great bar on the other side with perfectly made and tasty drinks!!

    My favorite coffee shop in the whole state. I am picky (worked as a barista and coffee manager for years) and they are the only place that gets it right. Their decaf is so tasty, not sour or bitter . 12/10

    I’ve been coming here more often to study, and it’s been a great spot. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is delicious, and the drinks are always excellent. Most of the baristas are super friendly, easy to talk to, and accommodating. I’ve only had one negative experience. It can get a bit loud and crowded at times, but the back area is usually quiet and perfect for studying. Little expensive but worth it in my opinion.
