The cafe was born from the vision of Mark and Marie, who began their journey in food with Old Man Joe’s Ice Cream and South Street Supper Club in Red Bank, New Jersey. Their passion for creating community-centered dining experiences led them to open Old Man Joe’s in Westerly, where they now serve a menu rooted in natural leavening, with all doughs made from scratch using sourdough except for gluten-free focaccia. They emphasize locally sourced ingredients, offering vegan ice cream made from cashew base, vegan cream cheese, and nut milk, along with daily gluten-free pastries and customizable vegan and gluten-free sandwiches.

Located on Main Street in Westerly, the shop is situated in the heart of the town’s commercial district, a short walk from the Westerly Public Library and the Westerly Town Hall, both within a few blocks. The area is known for its historic charm and proximity to downtown amenities.
