Besides the long lines and limited seating overall a great experience , great coffee and lovely staff Hopefully they open more locations

Very aesthetic and refreshing! I was hoping it was going to be more sweet (not because of added sugar) but because of the fruits, however it was a little too tart. My partner however got their mocha and it was delicious! My uncle also equally enjoyed his oat milk latte. Overall, they have a very large space to study/chat in, plus lots of drink and food options.

At the end of the day, it's just a really solid coffee shop and that's exactly why I keep coming back. I can always count on my drink tasting the way I like it. The ratio of espresso, milk, ice and syrup is perfect, which isn't something every coffee shop gets right. I totally understand why some people think it's overhyped, but if you go in expecting a great cup of coffee with fun vibes instead of some life-changing experience, I think you'll really enjoy it. I've also always had a great experience with the employees. Everyone I've interacted with has been friendly, and even when the line is long, they have almost an assembly-line system that keeps things moving really quickly. I've tried the banana pudding, which was delicious, and their chocolate chip cookie was really good too. I love that they're always coming up with fun seasonal drinks and different flavor combinations to keep things interesting.

It's pretty easy to miss but you will likely see a line. I got The Newporter which was one of their specials. I had low expectations since pistachio syrup often tastes chemically to me. It tasted a bit watered down and the espresso wasn't super bold but I was surprised that the flavors actually came through, from the sweetness from the honey & pistachio and saltiness from the sea salt. Not the best but decent for the area!

It's only about a 5-minute drive from the Wharf, so it's an easy stop if you're staying downtown. We stopped here right before Sprout & Lentil, and again as we were leaving Newport on our last day. The first day I had the espresso + citrus soda, while hubby had an Old Fashioned. The next day I tried the espresso tonic, which works so well--it's almost like magic. Truly coffee wizardry. Husband got the Old Fashioned again because apparently you don't mess with a good thing. It's dog-friendly with plenty of outdoor seating, plus indoor seating, Wi-Fi, and parking. They also have both Just Egg and Impossible sausage, which is great for vegan options. If you're vegan, ask about the cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and other toppings to see what's vegan or if they have vegan substitutions. We only ordered coffee here. The space also has a fun community feel, with Magic: The Gathering events hosted there. Great coffee, creative drinks, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth the quick drive from downtown Newport!

2.5/5 I ordered a…read moremix of drinks to get a solid feel for the menu--overall, there's clear potential here, but execution needs tightening. Ordered 1&1. Espresso (straight + mini cortado) The straight was under-extracted, resulting in a noticeable sourness and lack of balance. Not undrinkable, but it lacked the smoothness and depth you'd hope for. The cortado, however, improved the experience--the milk helped round out the acidity and made it far more approachable. Espresso Tonic: This ended up being the standout. It's definitely an acquired taste, but if you enjoy bright, citrus-forward drinks, this works. The subtle sweetness and orange notes complemented the espresso nicely, creating something refreshing and unique--perfect for warmer weather. Reminds me of a Matcha Milkis but with espresso instead. Iced Caramel Latte: A bit too milk-heavy for my preference. The espresso got lost, and while there were faint crème brûlée-like notes and a touch of caramel, the overall profile felt muted and underwhelming. Service: Excellent. One of the drinks was initially forgotten which resulted in me waiting several minutes, but the staff handled it well--quick apology and a complimentary drink chip. That level of accountability goes a long way and stands out compared to many other shops. Ambiance: Relaxed and inviting. The space has a fun, casual vibe with merchandise ranging from hoodies to cards, giving it some personality beyond just being a coffee stop. Overall: There's a strong foundation here. With more consistency in espresso extraction and slight adjustments to drink balance, this could easily be a solid spot.
