    We went in here after learning that they have Gluten Free offerings! The attendant was very well informed on not just their gluten free offerings but their process! They have unique cooking utensils, a separate area to prepare the items and the only risk of cross contamination is a shared oven. The offerings were a bit minimal but the Chocolate Chip cookie we got was very good and not overly sugary! The attendant mentioned the carrot cake her favorite and was moist but we didn't try it!

    Coming back from the cliffs walk and viewing the mansions, I wanted something sweet. And boy did this place give me that sweet... a little too sweet? Flavor of the day was a cinnamon roll cupcake. The icing is piled high so I had to do the sandwich cupcake method for this one. The cinnamon and cinnamon roll flavor is definitely there but boy was this cupcake sweet. If that's your thing you will love it, for me it was too sweet. Staff were super sweet and they have various other options to choose from too!

    Lots of baked goods. Right on Thames. Craved a sweet treat. It was ok. I'd try something else if ever in area again

    There's no better place to cure that sweet tooth than cupcake Charlie's! Place is outta control good and smells delicious as soon as you walk in (give me 1 of everything lol) whenever I take a drive to Newport I ALWAYS make a point to stop in and grab a 4 pack of cupcakes! The selection is a good size with options for anybody whether it's chocolate base, vanilla base, or fun flavors! They always have a variety of other baked treats like cookies, brownies, cake pops, cake cups and even soft serve ice cream. My absolute favorite cupcake by a long shot is the hostess cupcake! Tastes a million times better than the real one itself.. super fresh, has the classic hardened chocolate ganache and swiggly icing giving it that nostalgic look that we all loved as kids! I hate to admit it but I've taken down a 6 pack of those things myself haha. Run, don't walk to cupcake Charlie's‍

    Charming little shop with a huge variety of assorted, fresh cupcakes, ice cream and other assorted goodies. I enjoyed a lemon cupcake - light, airy lemon cake (think Angel food cake) topped with a generous amount of lemon buttercream - and a surprise dollop of lemon filling inside. Nice lemon flavored and frosting that wasn't cloyingly sweet. Sprinkled sugar on the frosting gave it a nice added texture and tastiness. Plenty of helpful counter staff that keep the line moving. We took a break from the summer heat and sat at a small table inside. Most of the tables were two tops...if not all. I don't think there were more than six small tables but most folks grabbed their goodies to go. There were probably no less than ten flavors of cupcakes that they replenished constantly. I was surprised by the amount of people that bought ice cream. Looked pretty good. They also had some limited gluten free options for those with restrictions.

    Chocolate raspberry trifle, chocolate overload, lemon drop

    Lunch at the drift Cafe was followed by cravings of dessert and just on the opposite side was Cupcake Charlie's, so it was an easy choice. They had lots of flavors for cupcakes - chocolate, oreo, vanilla, chocolate raspberry, lemon, hostess, etc and as few other items such as cake pops, trifles, and shakes. We got three things to share - a double chocolate cupcake, a lemon cupcake, and a raspberry chocolate trifle. There weren't many seats but we managed to grab a small table with a couple of chairs. We ate the chocolate cupcake right there and it was great. Chocolatey as expected, unexpected chocolate bonus in the center too. Could've been a little less sweet but wasn't over the top either. Even though it was a hot day, the remaining desserts held up on the ride home. We ate the lemon cupcake later that night and the raspberry trifle the next day. The trifle was a little too "jammy" but that lemon cupcake was perfect! Tart and sweet and so good.

    Cupcakes were okay, at most slightly above supermarket cupcakes... in my opinion overpriced for the value

    Super cute little bakery with tables to eat at inside if you just want one cupcake or some soft serve. Warning: these cupcakes are SWEET! There's a wide variety of flavors to choose from and even some sort of hybrid where they swirl ice cream and a cupcake together. (It sounds wonderful and terrifying at the same time.) It's quick service right at the counter and while it always seems busy, the line never gets too long!

    I think Cupcake Charlie's is one step up from supermarket cupcakes. On this visit I picked up some frosting shots so that I could give my dog her meds. I also picked up a little cupcake trifle. It's in a 4 ounce cup so if you're not feeling like a jumbo cupcake, this is a good alternative without all the guilt!! it was extremely busy due to a cruise ship debarking in Newport on an 80° October afternoon. There was only one employee and she kept her composure, was extremely friendly, and worked efficiently! There are a couple of tables inside, or you could sit on the steps or stone wall outside. They are actually serving soft serve now which a lot of people were ordering.

    If you're walking around town and want a nice sweet treat before dinner, if you're feeling naughty or after, if you have that sweet tooth. They are very good. The cupcakes not only look amazing, but they taste as good as they look. They have a special flavor daily. Amd a flavor of the week. There are lots of options to choose from. I usually get the cookie bars. My girlfriend loves the peanut butter chocolate cupcake. But no matter your choice, you can't go wrong. We visit 4 or 5 times a year here and always make it a point to stop in. It's a tradition.

    Hostess with the mostess
    M T.

    I got a hostess with the mostess cupcake and thought it was a decent cupcake. Didn't blow me away, but it was moist and had a nice creamy chocolate around it and the inside was also rich.

    Yummy

    Stopped in for something sweet. I had vanilla on vanilla. Cake part great. Icing part good too but too much of it for me. My friend starter with the chocolate chip cupcake but switched to a layered cupcake in a cup. She was disappointed because there wasn't enough cake. The novelty sold her. Stick with cupcakes. Staff is great!

    Peanut Butter Pleasure. Sooo good!

    Best carrot cake cupcake I've ever had. Moist, sweet, and a perfect balance of flavors. In the 48 hours I was in town, I went twice.

    We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

While the food was great, the initial experience at the…read morefront desk was disappointing--the hostess came off as cold and dismissive and didn't offer a proper waitlist, even though there appeared to be availability. It didn't feel very welcoming, especially seeing other guests turned away as well. We ended up booking through OpenTable and returning, where that same girl was chatting with another girl while sipping on a cocktail and ignoring the fact there are customers standing there. Thankfully, another staff member, Bella, stepped in and was kind and attentive, along with our server, which helped turn the experience around. Food-wise, everything tasted great. The Newporter platter was enjoyable (though oysters were a bit small), the blackened salmon was well-cooked, and the lobster roll was a standout--crispy, fresh, and easily a top 3 for me. The Chilean seabass was delicious but a bit small, especially for $50. Overall, great food but inconsistent and disappointing service at the front.

For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options).
