Our Story
Not your average
café.
We’re on a mission to prove that fresh food can be fun, flavorful, and totally crave-worthy.
Our Story
Life's too short for boring food.
We started Wicked Fresh because we were tired of the same old options in Johnston. Fast food on every corner, but nowhere to get a real meal made with ingredients you can actually feel good about. We knew Rhode Island deserved better.
So in 2024, we opened our doors at 1345 Hartford Ave with a simple promise: every single thing on our menu would be made fresh, from scratch, every day.Our bread? Baked in-house every morning. Our smoothies? Real fruit, hand-spun to order. Our craft sodas? Made with local Yacht Club soda from Providence — not syrup from a machine.
We're not a franchise. We're not corporate. We're a small team that genuinely cares about what we put on your plate. When you walk in, you'll see us behind the counter making your food — and that's exactly how we like it.
“We built this cafe for the people who live and work around here. Johnston, Cranston, North Providence — you're our neighbors, and feeding you right is personal to us.”

Why Trust Us
Built on real experience
Every dish, every drink, every decision at Wicked Fresh comes from hands-on kitchen experience — not a franchise playbook. Here's what makes us different.
In-House
Bread Baked Daily
Our Portuguese bolo-style muffins and multigrain bread are baked fresh every morning in our Johnston kitchen. No pre-packaged supplier bread.
Local
Yacht Club Soda
We partner directly with Yacht Club Bottling Co. (founded 1915) in Providence, RI for all our craft soda bases.
100%
Real Fruit Smoothies
Every smoothie is hand-spun to order with real fruit, never powders, concentrates, or pre-made mixes.
Katalyst
Draft Kombucha
We serve Katalyst Kombucha on draft — a New England-brewed probiotic with live cultures, straight from the keg.
Scratch
Sauces & Glazes
Our honey mustard glaze, buffalo sauce, and pesto are made from scratch in small batches. You can taste the difference.
