ASHUR CAFÈ

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 one of them.

Amazing people, amazing service, amazing crepes, and mini pancakes . And also happens to have the best hookah in all of providence and I’ve been to a lot. Nice relaxing environment. Perfect for doing some work and some meetings and just relaxing….. edited And now they have shawarma and one of the best I’ve had in this country. Unbelievable

I was pleasantly surprised to find a cafe so close to home that serves coffee after 3pm! We came by on a whim on a Friday evening and were shocked at the amazing quality and incredible flavor of the coffee. The staff is also very welcoming and friendly which made us feel really good about finding this hidden gem . I’ve been back everyday since and am very pleased to have found a new favorite coffee spot!

Delicious desserts and smoothies/mocktails! Friendly service as well.
