Press Release
The Rescue Cafe is a mission based coffee shop specializing in high quality coffee & espressos, delicious baked goods. We also make Hawaiian Shaved Ice, smoothies and smoothie bowls.
The Rescue Cafe was founded by Joni Rhoads in 2021 with a goal to help the local homeless animal population by donating a portion of every sale to local shelters. Since starting out of our food truck in the GiftsToGive parking lot we have grown into a full brick and mortar located at 414 Main St Fairhaven. Hours are Wednesday–Saturday, 6 a.m.–3 p.m.; Sundays, 7a.m.–2 p.m.; closed Monday and Tuesday.
Joni and her team would like to personally thank every member of our community for the very warm welcome. Stop by and try all out all our specials and shop in our retail section, offerings change monthly featuring a different local artist or crafter! Can’t wait to see you.
