Colfin’s Riverside Cafe: Celebrating One Year of Excellence in Linden
+ Linden, Guyana – Colfin’s Riverside Cafe, a beloved establishment nestled along Burnham Drive, recently marked a significant milestone: its first anniversary. Dr. Colin Small, Jr., the visionary behind this journey, shared the inspiring story of Colfin’s evolution from a humble cake business to a thriving dining hotspot.
The Birth of Colfin’s Cakes
Six years ago, Dr. Small embarked on a mission to fund his education while pursuing a degree in medicine. He delved into the world of baking, refining his skills under the guidance of his mother, Fnita Small. Driven by a determination akin to his academic pursuits, he gave birth to “Colfin’s Cakes.”
Starting without a storefront, Dr. Small’s journey began with door-to-door sales in Linden. Word of mouth and delighted customers paved the path to success. Five years of relentless dedication culminated in the establishment of Colfin’s Riverside Cafe on September 30, 2022.
