The Lil’ Rhody Coffee Company

The Lil’ Rhody Coffee Company is Rhode Island’s first sustainable small-batch coffee roaster, founded in 2022 by Vincent Emery — then a high school senior — and located at 241 Grotto Avenue in Pawtucket, RI. The company roasts specialty coffee using an all-electric, air-roasting process that generates 80% fewer CO2 emissions than traditional methods, with Rhode Island-inspired blends such as Rocky Point, Federal Hill, and Rhode Scholar available for local delivery and nationwide shipping. In keeping with its community roots, Lil’ Rhody has partnered with A.B. Munroe Dairy — a Rhode Island staple since 1881 — to create exclusive sustainably crafted coffee blends for their customers.
