Riverview School In the News: Café Riverview featured in Edible Cape Cod

A big thank you to Edible Cape Cod for their article providing a thoughtful window into what we do at Café Riverview. It follows the heart behind the counter, including the students who brighten our days, the staff who guide them, and the mission that has shaped the vision behind the business. 

At Café Riverview, we are more than just a welcoming stop for breakfast or lunch; it serves as a hands-on training environment for Riverview students. The Edible Cape Cod piece highlights how our café grew into what it is now, all starting with an idea of transforming a previously used classroom into a vibrant restaurant setting where students can practice their vocational skills, discover their strengths, and meaningfully contribute to the local community. 

What we especially love about the article is how it portrays the heart of our mission. It’s not just about job training; it’s about giving our students a place to grow in confidence, to interact with the whole Sandwich and Cape Cod community, and to feel the pride that comes from real responsibility. The piece reflects on how customers often walk in expecting just a meal, but leave with a deeper appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and spirit our interns bring to every shift. In the process, the café becomes a place where people can learn who our students are, not through pamphlets or programs, but through shared conversations.
