Kriola Cafe
Kriola Café is a Cabo Verdean-inspired café concept created in Rhode Island by founder Nady Pina. Rooted in coffee, culture, and morabeza, Kriola Café celebrates the flavors, stories, and welcoming spirit of Cabo Verde through modern café experiences.
Our mission is to create warm, community-centered spaces where people can gather, sip, taste, connect, and experience the beauty of Cabo Verdean culture in a fresh and inviting way. From signature iced lattes inspired by nostalgic flavors like camoca, pudim de leite, and fidjós, to tropical lemonades and refreshers, every menu item is designed to feel familiar, creative, and full of meaning.
Kriola Café hosts pop-ups, tasting experiences, drink flights, cultural café events, and community gatherings that invite guests to be part of the brand from the very beginning. Each event is created with intention, warmth, and the spirit of morabeza, which means hospitality, generosity, kindness, and making people feel welcomed like family.
Kriola Café is pa nos, di nos, and shared with everyone.
