My friend who lives in Cranston mentioned the same thing! I think a lot of towns in RI are in need of a good café.

We just had a few open up — like the Park (it’s just ok) and Cafe Ava (Latin flare) which are all great but no traditional coffee shop anywhere in Cranston proper. I’d love somewhere where I can hangout and work for when I need a change of pace than sitting at my house

I'm in the same boat, having a simple/relaxing spot where people from the neighborhood can come and hang is essential.

Cafe Ava sucks. It’s awful.

It actually doesn’t, it’s just a classic coffee shop

There’s some white building in Pawtuxet Village near the bridge that looks abandoned but I’ve never seen a for sale sign. I’ve always thought it would be a great place for a brewery or modern coffee shop. Probably a larger space than OP is looking for though.
