The Cute Richmond Cafe Where You Can Perk Up Your Summer Coffee Rotation
A friend of mine first recommended I check out Alaina’s Coffee + Kitchen in Richmond a few summers ago, but like a lot of people, I was a wreck at the thought of venturing beyond my little bubble.
Eventually, though, we (that’s Trisha Kelley who had done the recommending originally and took some of the pics below, Karen who is a friend from my Nordstrom Providence days, and yours truly) did make it over to Alaina’s for some coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and photos.
First off, there’s something so peaceful and picturesque about the Richmond (Washington County) area during the summer and fall.
Add in the fact that Alaina’s in and of itself is DARLING and viola, you have another sweet coffee shop to add to your 2022 list of Rhode trips.
You can grab a hot or iced coffee (so many choices), a breakfast sammie or other prepared foods, and they also have a greenhouse in the back with twinkle lights where they host special dinners. (Psssst…I saw one was vegetarian and that made me a fan for life.)
The out-of-doors space has plenty of seating, real and faux flowers, and other charming Insta Worthy backdrops, including a wall sign which regulars gravitate to for their IG photo ops (I unfortunately don’t have a decent pic of said sign, apologies all around).
Alaina’s is located at 93 Kingston Road in Richmond, Rhode Island. (They have a 2nd location, a drive thru, in West Greenwich now, too.)
Find them on Instagram @AlainasCoffeehouse.
