About Porchlight & Pimento Cafe Lounge

A Place to Slow Down

Porchlightlight & Pimento Cafe's History

Porchlight & Pimento Café Lounge was created as a place to slow down.

Rooted in St. Mary and inspired by the calm, grounding spirit of my late father, Stephen Chin, this café is meant to feel like a pause from the noise of everyday life. A porch light has always symbolized warmth, guidance, and welcome and that’s exactly what we wanted this space to offer.

Here, you’re invited to sit, breathe, and reset. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet coffee, sharing conversation, or simply taking a moment for yourself, Porchlight & Pimento is designed for peace, relaxation, and reflection. It’s a laid-back atmosphere where time softens, worries fade, and you’re free to get lost, if only for a while.

This café is not about rushing. It’s about comfort, calm, and connection. A place to take a break, refresh your spirit, and feel at home in St. Mary.
