Our Story

More Than a Café —
It's a Neighborhood Staple

McShortagees started with a simple idea: what if your local café felt like a place where everyone belonged? No pretense, no rush — just good coffee, honest food, and a bar that turns the corner into evening relaxation.

Located right here in East Providence on Willett Avenue, we've become the spot where neighbors grab their morning brew, coworkers meet for lunch, and friends gather after work. It's casual, it's warm, and it's always ours.

Community First A place for everyone in the neighborhood
Two Vibes, One Space Café by day, bar by night — seamlessly
