Exciting news for Ripley locals! A brand-new café is set to open its doors early 2025, bringing a fresh and vibrant dining experience to the community. Welcome to Cafe Providence, the latest venture from Shay, the owner-operator behind the much-loved Cafe Kalina in Springfield.

With five successful years at Cafe Kalina, Shay has built a reputation for offering high-quality food, excellent service, and a strong community focus. Now, he’s bringing that same passion and expertise to Ripley with Cafe Providence, a place designed to be more than just a café—it’s a gathering space for friends, families, and even furry companions!

A Menu for Everyone

Cafe Providence promises an extensive menu catering to all dietary needs, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. The café will be serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring there’s something delicious available at any time of day.

A standout feature on the breakfast menu is the Build-Your-Own Breakfast, allowing guests to customize their morning meal just the way they like it. Plus, for those who love a good pub-style feed, the café will host themed dining nights, including the crowd-favorite Pimp Your Parmi Night, where every parmy is made fresh from scratch with handcrafted sauces.

More Than Just a Café

Beyond the food, Cafe Providence will offer a welcoming space for community events, functions, and catering. Expect trivia nights, themed evenings, and special celebrations to make dining out a fun and engaging experience for everyone.

And let’s not forget about our four-legged friends! Just like at Cafe Kalina, puppy chinos and handmade dog treats will be on the menu, ensuring even your pets can enjoy a little treat when you stop by.

Be Part of Something New

Cafe Providence is all about creating a space where everyone feels at home. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to opening. We can’t wait to welcome you to Cafe Providence—your new local go-to for great food, great company, and a great community vibe.
