Rhode Island Coffee — Restaurant in Oldham

Rhode Island Coffee has become my absolute favorite spot in town, a welcoming haven that I visit at least twice daily—whether it’s a morning coffee run before my classes at University Campus Oldham, an afternoon catch-up with my husband on his work up, or a must have pre drink / post drink with friends after uni.

The atmosphere here is incredibly inclusive and warm; it's a place where everyone is made to feel at home. The staff genuinely elevate the experience— especially Tara, Diogo, Sam, John, and the rest of the team go above and beyond to make every visit special. Their attentiveness and friendly smiles create such a welcoming vibe, making it clear that they truly care about their customers. They not only remember my favorite order but also always take the time to ask about my day, making every interaction feel personal.

Rhode Island Coffee is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a community space where everyone, regardless of background, feels valued and comfortable. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a genuinely inclusive, cozy, and friendly...

It's kind of hard to write a review of this particular place. It has the feeling of being a chain, but I have no experience of whether this is true or not. With that comes all the hallmarks of a typical Costa or Starbucks experience, largely soulless and more 'fit for purpose' than anything else. I've eaten food here on a previous trip (Ham & Cheese toastie/ciabatta) and it was okay, it did the job. I ordered it for takeout and it came sit in, so I missed my bus but still. In that instance I was served by one amazing individual and one that was more interested in chatting about anything but doing her job, mixed bag much. The coffee however (pictured) is really nice, well crafted by the barrista, creamy, if a little too milky (even for a latte).

All in all, it's a fine experience, but it's hard to get much more excited than that. If you want a brew, it'll do, but I won't be going out of my way to return, more only if my bus is late.

Id say pick it over the mainstream chains for a quick take out coffee for sure, anything else is at...

Expensive but a nice place for a rest and refreshment in Oldham. Seven pounds odd for two coffees, nicely presented etc but above my price range in all honesty. Having said that, it's not a dump and has decent standards - and it's clean. I'd rather enjoy the experience rather than sit in somewhere that's not inviting 🙂 Update as of 16/11/2022. As said previously, expensive but welcoming and warm, with a very comfortable vibe. In the sense of 'expensive', the prices don't seem to have increased - though we're now experiencing huge hikes in interest and inflation/cost of living crisis, so what was expensive has now become reasonable. Staff with a warm attitude made the experience all the more relaxing. Will definitely...
