Built for Coffee. Rooted in Community.
Caf Bar was created with an eye toward becoming a destination for the South County community—a place where students can settle in with their laptops, travelers can discover a new favorite spot, and regulars become part of the Caf Bar family.
Nestled on historic Main Street in Wakefield, Rhode Island, Caf Bar is surrounded by local small businesses, neighborhood gathering spots, and the energy of a community that draws people from near and far. Just minutes from URI and the beaches, our space combines the comfort of a neighborhood café with a relaxed, speakeasy-inspired atmosphere.
Come for the coffee. Stay for the community.
What We Care About
Great coffee. Good food. Local connections.
We proudly serve coffee from Downeast Coffee Roasters, a third-generation, family-owned Rhode Island roaster based in Pawtucket.
Whenever possible, we use local, seasonal and organic ingredients to create food, drinks and house-made syrups that reflect the people and place around us.
People Make the Place
Wakefield is at the heart of South County—a community that brings together young families, longtime neighbors, students, travelers, and generations of Rhode Islanders. We believe community is everything, and that something as simple as a great cup of coffee can bring people together and create a sense of belonging.
Caf Bar is owner-operated by Elias and Ally, whose vision and love of community are at the heart of the café. But Caf Bar is truly powered by the people who bring it to life every day.
Jackie Bell has been with Caf Bar from day one, leading day-to-day operations and special events and helping shape the experience our guests know and love.
Behind the food is Executive Chef Jeff Schultz, affectionately known around Caf Bar as “Cheffrey.” From the kitchen to the counter, our team brings creativity, care, and a genuine passion for hospitality to everything we do.
We’re proud to be part of the Wakefield community—and even prouder of the community that has grown around Caf Bar.
