Red, White & Brew Coffeehouse & Budding Violet Gift Shop

Red, White & Brew Coffeehouse & Budding Violet Gift Shop is a family-owned, inclusive community coffeehouse located at 1800 Post Road, Unit 26, in Warwick, Rhode Island, founded by Michael Coyne — a man with autism — after he took business classes through the Rhode Island Developmental Disability Center and was denied traditional employment. The shop serves specialty coffee, pastries, and baked goods while employing individuals both with and without developmental disabilities, guided by the motto #IamABLE. Sharing its cozy space with The Budding Violet Gift Shop — which offers handmade goods and vendor space to local artisans of varying abilities — the business serves as a beacon of inclusion, opportunity, and community connection in Warwick.
