Founders Adam and Anne fell in love with the light, the brick walls, and the concrete floors. They envisioned a café that values community, sustainability, good food and good people, and they got the ball rolling.
The name they chose reflects a local origin: English settlers called the native people Narragansett, adapted from Nanhigganeuck, meaning "people of the small point."
Their goal was to make a comfortable place for anyone to be.
