Ashur Café — Restaurant in North Providence

My only question...why the HECK did I not find this place SOONER?! It's a total VIBE. In the best way possible!

Last Wednesday evening at 8:15pm I found myself in need of a caffeinated drink. I don't normally drink caffeinated coffee, but it was under weird/emergency circumstances. Anyhoo!

I checked my usual local places...Honey Dew had closed at 6pm, Starbucks had just locked up at 8pm. It looked like bad news for me and the all nighter I had in front of me with the huge work project on my plate....

But then Ashur Café popped up. I had seen this place on Mineral Spring Ave for a year and a half and was very curious about it. So, I threw on my jacket and hopped in the car.

Total transparency. I've never stepped foot into a Hookah place before. I didn't know what it was gonna be like and I was worried that it would be smokey and be difficult to breathe inside with my asthma. However, I was so pleasantly surprised!

When I walked in I was greeted with lovely music on the speakers. My Sagittarius Soul felt instantly transported to another world! It was fabulous. There were several tables with twenty something year olds enjoying drinks, apps, and sweets. The Hookah thingies were very cool looking and didn't give off a scent like tobacco does. I was sitting down and breathing in clean air. That might not mean a lot to some people, but for people with asthma, it matters a whole lot. And unfortunately I just wasn't in the know about Hookah until that moment 😬. But I'm glad to know now!

I walked right up to the counter and was greeted by a gentleman. I told him it was my first time there and he graciously handed me a menu. I already knew that I wanted an iced mocha and a crepe. But I had to figure out which crepe was calling to me.

I decided on the tantalizing Ashur Crepe. My large sized iced mocha and crepe to go was $20.24. Very reasonable. I sat down in one of the beautiful chairs and chilled out with the wonderful music and atmosphere with the other patrons. There was a larger party of 5-6 20-something year-olds who were having a lovely time in the corner and seemed to have ordered some really delicious savory dishes because the kitchen smelled AH-MAZING.

And I also noted a young gentleman sitting at the window with several laptops, probably working on school work. This place is open until 11pm. I'm a regular night owl and since I've relocated to the east coast, it's been a difficult adjustment to not have hangouts later at night. As I sat and waited for my delicious crepe concoction to be created behind the counter, I started thinking of all the great work projects I can get done here while parking myself at one of these lovely tables. Yep, that's right! I've just found my new late night spot! 🙌🏻👏🏻👊🏻

Talk about awesome sauce! When my crepe was ready to go, I headed out. When I got home, the game plan was to split the crepe with my family members. When I took it out of the bag, though....😍 what a piece of art! 📸 I had to snap a picture!

These chefs are extremely talented and know what they're doing. Their creations are a feast for the eyes as much as they're a feast for your taste buds.

I can't recommend this cafe enough. I am so freaking stoked to have finally stopped by this week. I plan on making it my regular place from now on 😁. You can just tell when a place has good vibes, ya know? And this is definitely...

I brought my father to Ashur Cafe on Mineral Spring Ave for the first time, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and Hussein, the owner, went out of his way to make us feel at home. You can tell he really cares about his customers and the quality of everything in the cafe.

The hookah was excellent — smooth, flavorful, and packed perfectly. It actually exceeded my father’s expectations, and he’s pretty picky when it comes to hookah, so that says a lot!

We also enjoyed their rich, bold espresso and the flaky, sweet baklava — both were delicious. And I’ve got to mention the cheeseburger — juicy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while.

Our server Alli was awesome — super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Between Hussein’s hospitality and Alli’s great service, it felt more like a night out with friends than just a visit to a cafe.

Highly recommend Ashur Cafe for anyone looking for great vibes, amazing hookah, and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Ashur Cafe and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The iced mocha lattes were an absolute delight, striking that perfect balance between coffee and chocolate. The environment at the cafe was inviting, with pleasant background music that added to the overall ambiance.

The service was top-notch, with attentive staff making sure everything was just right. What pleasantly surprised me were the perfectly prepared hookahs, which added a unique touch to the experience. The cafe’s location is ideal, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making it an excellent spot for relaxation or work.

One thing I do regret is not trying their crepes. I watched them being made, and they looked absolutely amazing. It’s a testament to the cafe’s versatility, offering both great beverages and mouthwatering food options. I’ll definitely be back to indulge in one of those crepes next time. All in all, Ashur Cafe is a hidden gem that I highly recommend for anyone seeking a delightful...
