McKenna's Cafe was opened in Dorchester in 1999 by longtime residents of Savin Hill, Kathy and Bernie Goodman. The cafe was named after their young daughter McKenna Goodman.  Several years after starting the cafe, the Goodman's decided to take their restaurant knowhow south, where they opened a restaurant in Naples, Florida.

 

 As luck would have it, McKenna's cafe was acquired by two locals who continued to run the establishment with the same sense of pride, long standing tradition, friendly service and excellent food.  The cafe has continued to thrive becomming the go-to destination in Savin Hill.

​
