“What’s new at 2 Pier Rd?”

Chef Selena Roy outside Caring Community Cuisine café

A lot of people who come through our door at 2 Pier Rd in Kennebunkport, ME have been here before. Families who visit in the summer, couples who visit every year to immerse themselves in our beautiful town for a few precious days. Locals who are an integral part of why this community is such a wonderful place to live.

What hasn’t changed:

Anyone can still expect a warm welcome and absolutely delicious food prepared by the same talented Musette chefs, Jonathan Cartwright and Selena Roy, in our light-filled, joy-infused café space on Sun through Tue from 9am to 2 pm ET. They continue to provide delicious, mouth-watering, gluten-free meals and baked goods.

Good morning!

Breakfast, anyone?

Homemade gluten-free pastries

Flavorful quiche

What has changed:

In Nov 2024, we became a 501(c)3 nonprofit called Caring Community Cuisine Café. Net proceeds from your patronage, combined with the generous donations we receive, will directly fund the preparation and delivery of meals to those in our community facing cancer.

Co-founders and skilled Chefs Jonathan Cartwright and Selena Roy both had loved ones who were affected by cancer. For a long time, they have wanted to find an impactful way to help. They realized they can’t cure the disease, but they can cook. The meals they provide are for both the warrior battling cancer and the caregivers supporting them every step of the way - giving them a few moments of time where they can be together, knowing that the meal provided will be nutritious. A moment to feed their soul.

Welcome to the café.

We couldn’t make an impact without our amazing team!

Meals service for those impacted by cancer.

What to expect:

Our patrons are an integral part of this journey, and anyone who enjoys good food is welcomed as a patron. Every $10 spent on delicious food at the cafe allows Caring Community Cuisine to provide one meal to our families. Additional donations are always appreciated. We love creating special events for our community to enjoy, and our space can be reserved to support your events. Proceeds from these events also support our amazing cancer warriors.

On the days the café is closed, Chefs Jonathan and Selena prepare meals for those families and individuals impacted by cancer. Paying particular attention to the nutrient needs of the warriors battling cancer. All the ingredients are whole foods sourced locally as much as possible, and of the same high quality as the food so many patrons have enjoyed at the café over the years. The food is then delivered to the homes of our recipient families. They just need to heat and enjoy. This is done on a weekly basis.
