Coffee before (and after) a show at PPAC or Trinity Rep
By MOTW Coffee & Pastries ·

Heading to a show downtown? MOTW sits in the middle of Downcity, across from the theaters, so it's an easy stop on either side of the curtain.
How close are we?
- Providence Performing Arts Center: about 2 minutes on foot
- Trinity Repertory Company: about 3 minutes
- Johnson & Wales, Downcity campus: nearby
- Kennedy Plaza (RIPTA): a short walk
Open late on show nights
We're open until midnight on Friday and Saturday and until 9pm Sunday to Thursday, which makes us one of the few places downtown still serving coffee after a show.
What to order
Our after-show favourite is a Biscoff latte with something sweet: real Biscoff cookie butter folded into espresso with a touch of vanilla. Prefer no caffeine this late? Egyptian camomile is caffeine-free and calming. For dessert, try a slice of milk cake or a few pieces of baklava. Everything is on the menu.
Skip the queue
Order ahead online for pickup and your drink will be ready when you walk in.
