At right, former Café owner Bill Parsons and current owner John Miller meet for coffee and conversation in The Café prior to the October 12 fire that substantially damaged the restaurant.
For many years, The Café at 602 3rd Street has been at the heart of Kentwood, serving as a favorite gathering spot for coffee and breakfast, as well as business, civic, and political discussions. While the ownership and location may have changed, the people have remained the same. Every morning, the locals meet to discuss current events and share stories, welcoming everyone with a smile.
