The Darling Coffee Shop In Richmond You'll Want To Add To Your Summer Rotation

The Other Day At Alaina’s Coffee + KItchen

A friend of mine first recommended I check out Alaina’s Coffee + Kitchen in Richmond last summer, but like a lot of people, I was a wreck, especially when it came to venturing outside of my little “bubble.”

This year things are looking up, so the other day we (Trisha who had done the recommending originally and snapped the photo below, Karen who is another friend from my Nordstrom Providence days, and yours truly) all ventured over to Alaina’s in the morning for some coffee and breakfast sandwiches and photos.

First off, there’s something so peaceful, green and scenic about the Richmond (Washington County) area this time of year.

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 Summer 2021 Rhody rotation.

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. (I saw one was vegetarian and that has made me, no joke, 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. Follow them on Instagram @AlainasCoffeehouse.

As always, if you take a spin over after reading this, please let them know you heard about them here via Patty J and PattyJ.com.
