Providence.
Every day.

A neighborhood bakery, European café and gathering place shaped by generations of Portuguese tradition.

The Silver Star Story

Nearly a century of mornings that begin before sunrise.

Silver Star was built around a simple ritual: unlock the doors early, warm the ovens, pull the first espresso and bake for the neighborhood. The recipes are Portuguese. The welcome is Providence.
