Rhody Gem: Coffee with a Cause at Kaffeology

Kaffeology

Mission-based cafe

What it is:

A cafe that serves everything from coconut brûlée coffee to a hangover cure in breakfast sandwich form. Did we mention merch?

Where to find it:

Along the red-bricked path of Newport’s Thames Street, find Kaffeology’s green-trimmed windows between a chocolate shop and an ice
cream parlor.

What makes it a Rhody Gem?

Customers may be drawn to Kaffeology because of its cool aesthetic, but the cafe’s finely crafted menu is what will leave an impression. Whether you opt for a breakfast burrito with chipotle mayo and homemade potatoes, or decide on something sweet like fluffy lemon pancakes, every bite will make the meaning behind the menu clear. Andreea Marin’s Kaffeology has been a labor of love since the Newport location opened in 2017. The store’s success led to Marin opening another cafe on Russo Road in Portsmouth, and a sit-down restaurant at Garden City in Cranston. If the delicious menu isn’t enough, a retail section  sells Kaffeology merchandise alongside products from women-owned businesses. With coffee beans sourced from a woman-owned farm, and their water partner sending proceeds for waterway systems in impoverished countries, Kaffeology combines delicious food and drink with a great cause.
