Community Cookery

The Community Cookery

Community Cookery, located within the historic Seamen’s Church Institute, is more than just a café — it’s a mission-driven space where food meets purpose. Operated by Newport Community School in partnership with the Aquidneck Island Adult Learning Center, our café serves as a training ground for aspiring cooks and hospitality professionals, providing hands-on experience in a supportive, real-world environment. Every bite you enjoy helps fuel a brighter future — with 100% of profits supporting the impactful work of Newport Community School.

The Community Cookery Café is now open! 

Spring Hours (now through Memorial Day):

Thursday–Sunday | 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Summer Hours (after Memorial Day):

Open seven days a week, starting at 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM

WE ALSO DO CATERING.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the café soon with the same warmth and hospitality you’ve come to love.
