About us

Chikondi means love.

We're a small neighborhood coffee shop on Budlong Road in Cranston. Everything here is made slowly and on purpose — cold brew steeped overnight, pour overs weighed by hand, bonbons layered sweet over espresso.

Come in for a cortado before work, stay for the quiet corner table, or take a Box Joe back to the office and be everyone's favorite person for the day.

"Chikondi Cafe is hands down one of the best spots for coffee around. The quality is consistently great, and you can tell they really care about what they serve. My personal favorite is their iced vanilla chai, perfectly balanced."

"We have been here twice with the family and everyone is so friendly. Donuts and breakfast sandwiches are great! I get the cafe mocha and dirty horchata and they are excellent! They have a nice little patio in the back that they really made into something quaint considering it's just a backlot. Super friendly staff and genuine."

"If you haven't been to Chikondi Cafe yet, you're seriously missing out! This place is an absolute gem with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and incredible service. But the real star of the show are their chais! Without a doubt the best chai."
