In September 2023, Ridgway residents, Nate and Tera Wick decided to combine their love of community, good food and great coffee to create Kismet Cafe. They received generous culinary guidance from long-time family friend, Karim Alaeddine

The name Kismet comes from the sense of serendipity and “meant-to-be-ness” that infuses our lives when we operate from truth, love and integrity. 

Kismet Cafe is also named for Kismet Peak in the San Juan range and a special street in Ridgway


Kismet Cafe is owned by Wick Coffee Co, based in Ridgway, Colorado.
