Warren’s Main Street is full of small-town charm with a refreshingly creative spirit. Lined with independently owned shops, hidden gems, and local flavor, this walkable stretch is ideal for a day of slow browsing and laid-back discovery. Whether you’re a longtime local or new in town, here’s the perfect way to spend a day exploring Main Street.
Start your journey at Tatters Handmade and Tearoom, a cozy, upcycled clothing shop where owner Caroly Riley transforms vintage fabrics into one-of-a-kind pieces. If you’re lucky, you might catch one of her traditional English afternoon teas (by reservation only!). From there, wander over to Imagine Gift Store, a magical maze of whimsical gifts, games, home goods, and Rhode Island keepsakes—there’s something for everyone inside.
Cross the street and head into Prica Farina, a charming kitchen and home shop where every piece feels beautifully curated. Then cross back over for a smoothie or açai bowl at Bevvies, a bright and cheerful stop for healthy sips and locally loved bowls.
Before continuing up Main, take a quick detour down Child Street to visit Carmen & Ginger, a vintage-lover’s paradise filled with retro fashion, quirky finds, and nostalgic treasures. Once you’ve browsed to your heart’s content, head back up to Main Street and continue past Desiata Training.
Next stop: Inhabit, a modern boutique offering a mix of fashion-forward clothing, home décor, and lifestyle goods. Right next door is Arcwood Jewelry, a serene studio and storefront where artisan-crafted jewelry is made on-site—perfect for finding a meaningful gift or keepsake.
Because once you visit, you’ll see: there’s truly no place like it.
Take a short detour down Church Street and you’ll discover Whimsies, a delightfully quirky gift shop packed with laughter, clever cards, and offbeat treasures that always surprise.

Back on Main Street, keep heading toward Made in Warren, a vibrant artists’ co-op featuring handmade work from local creatives—ceramics, prints, textiles, and more.

For casual fare with vegan and gluten-free choices, head to Rhody Roots for nourishing bowls, burgers, and salads. Federal Hill Pizza is another favorite, offering wood-fired pizza, fresh sandwiches, and big salads in a lively setting.

Take your time, shop small, and enjoy all the heart this stretch of Warren has to offer.
