Why We Source Locally: Farm-to-Table in Rhode Island

May 8, 20265 min read

More Than a Buzzword

Walk into any trendy cafe and you will probably see "locally sourced" somewhere on the menu. But what does that actually mean? At Wicked Fresh Cafe in Johnston, RI, it means real partnerships with real Rhode Island producers.

Where Our Ingredients Come From

Yacht Club Soda — Providence, RI

Our famous Wicked Sodas start with Yacht Club Soda, a Rhode Island institution since 1915. Based right here in Providence, Yacht Club has been crafting premium sodas for over a century. We use their iconic root beer, cream soda, and fruit flavors as the base for our custom craft soda creations.

nobl Cold Pressed Juices

We carry nobl cold pressed juices — Carrot Ginger, Cucumber Celery Green, and Orange. Cold pressed means no heat, no oxidation, and maximum nutrition in every bottle.

Katalyst Kombucha

Our kombucha comes from Katalyst Kombucha, a New England craft kombucha brewery known for small-batch, probiotic-rich brews.

House-Made Bread

Every sandwich at Wicked Fresh is served on bread we bake in-house — Italian, Multigrain, or English Muffin. No mass-produced bread from a distributor. This is the kind of detail that separates us from chains and delivery apps.

Why Local Matters

Freshness: Shorter supply chains mean your food is fresher. Our ingredients do not sit in a warehouse for weeks.

Community: Every dollar you spend at Wicked Fresh supports Rhode Island businesses. We are all in this together.

Quality: Local producers take pride in their craft. You can taste the difference in every bite.

Sustainability: Less transportation means a smaller carbon footprint. Eating local is one of the easiest ways to help the planet.
