Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day and there are plenty of ways to celebrate. Sip a fresh roast from one of the city’s unique coffee shops, savor an espresso bean doughnut, or enjoy coffee milk Rhode Island's signature way — served cold in a glass alongside a hot wiener.

If you're a fan of making fewer trips for your caffeine fix, head over to either of Knead Doughnuts' two Providence locations, 55 Cromwell St. or 135 Elmgrove Ave. There you'll find a fresh-brewed cup of Bolt coffee and the espresso bean doughnut, an old-fashioned doughnut featuring freshly ground coffee topped with vanilla glaze and dark chocolate drizzle. While you're there, grab a few other tasty treats from the expansive menu and limited specials.
