Riverside Coffee has a new name and new owners.

Debra Vaicunas and Angie Renfrow recently became co-owners of Riverside Coffee, now known as Riverside Cafe. Mark and Susan Hall, who own the building, are the other business owners. Sydney Williams owned and managed the business before Vaicunas and Renfrow came along.

“[Williams] wanted to get out of the business,” said Vaicunas, who hails from New York. “Angie was just in the right place at the right time. She said, ‘Deb, I could run that business,’ and Mark got ear of it and we went from there.”

Riverside will continue serving its traditional coffees and popular food items. But Vaicunas and Renfrow have added a few new items, including a daily breakfast special that comes with a free coffee. Also, ham panini, turkey club, tuna fish and roast beef sandwiches are now on the menu.

Riverside Cafe is at 227 E. Market St. in downtown Smithfield. It is open from 7 a.m. till 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number is 209-0066.
