After months of anticipation, Café Alma—the new Portuguese-inspired café from Chef Kevin Matos of Matos Bakery—has officially announced plans to open on Saturday, February 21st.
Located at 227 Warren Avenue, in the former Silva’s Seafood Market space, Café Alma will introduce a warm, community-driven Portuguese café experience to East Providence. The intimate, 40+ seat setting is inspired by the traditional tascas of Portugal—inviting neighborhood spots designed for gathering, lingering, and meaningful connection.
Guests can look forward to:
Weekend brunch
Petiscos (Portuguese small plates) Thursday through Saturday
Craft cocktails
A curated selection of Portuguese wines
Plans for Thursday night Fado, celebrating Portugal’s rich musical and cultural heritage
Café Alma will also proudly feature the beloved pastries and breads from its sister business, Matos Bakery in Pawtucket—affectionately known by Chef Matos as the “Mother Bakery,” a tribute to the family roots behind the brand.
Café Alma officially opens its doors on Saturday, February 21st, welcoming guests to experience a true taste of Portugal right here in East Providence. Be sure to follow facebook.com/CafeMatos and visit EastProvHospitality.com for ongoing updates and event announcements.
