America's Best Coffee Cities

No. 4: Providence

The capital of Rhode Island claims to be the birthplace of coffee syrup—and it’s reportedly also home to the most Dunkin’ Donuts branches per capita. But AFC voters clearly like it for the multitude of mom-and-pop-style cafés such as the legendary Coffee Exchange. Voters put Providence in the top 3 for neighborhood joints, and its locals rank in the Top 10 as the most diverse. Mix your coffee with some artsy outings—the town ranks second for its theater and performance art.
