I just had another amazing lunch from Cafe Richmond. Jeff and his son are great people and Jeff makes the best red beans and rice I've ever had. We're very lucky to have such a great food option in our building.

Stopped by for RI Food Fights, got an iced coffee with caramel and oat milk. The coffee was good but the food was out of this world! I had the opportunity to try the special: rice and beans. It was so flavorful! Definitely get it before it disappears!!! The new owner was so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!

Stopped in to pick up lunch. They’ve reopened under new ownership. Off to a great start! Specials today were sandwiches named after deceased members of the Grateful Dead - my roast beef one had all the flavor and complexity of a Jerry solo (on a good day). Fresh and tangy!

What a delightful new discovery! Went as part of the RIFoodfights Iced Coffee Challenge. I didn’t know about this adorable spot. Great coffee, fun flavors, good sandwiches, fab location near the dog park. Be sure and visit her sister’s bakery, Sweet Deliveries, too!

Plenty of parking here in a full lot. Mostly set up for to-go. They have a few tables but everyone while I was there only got things for take out. Interesting little cafe in a place that feels like an nice updated apartment complex but There’s yoga places and offices inside. Okay pricing. Seems like they only have take away cups and not cups for dine in.

So this morning I go to get a breakfast sandwich and was introduced to a new feature. The operator of the cafe' has made Raised Donuts. She gave me the flavors and I chose the Maple Bacon Donut. WOW! Great job! Well done! This is an excellent addition to your menu for those looking for a little sweet. All the best!

I visited Cafe Richmond as part of the RI Food Fights Iced Coffee Summer Celebration. The coffee and staff were wonderful! I did not order anything to eat but the food smelled delicious. I will definitely be back!
