    Sooooo nice!!!!
    Destenie V.

    Lovely location. The team is wonderful, cheerful and fast! The location is beautiful and cozy and right in the center of town. I visit as much as I can. It's worth it. Besides, they know all their regulars by name. It's funny to see the greetings and conversations unfold as customers come through the door.

    Coolest Starbucks ever!!!!! Friendly service and amazing aesthetic! Love the balcony seats. Hands down my favorite Starbucks.

    Well located on Thames and next to a park where you can sit on a bench and sip your coffee. This Starbucks tends to be very busy and people move in and out quickly. It's too busy and crowded to sit down and savor your drink, at least when I go. The new Oleato extra virgin olive oil-based iced coffee drink had oat milk and toffee flavoring and was delicious. The prices are reasonable for what you get. Service was friendly and quick.

    Starbucks is generally good no matter where we go, but the creativity and kind staff make this location special! Local artwork on signs and cups on Easter Sunday! Love it!

    They accept Starbucks cards and have a mezzanine with additional seats. The garbage can was overflowing though.

    Very nice staff. Cute setting and layout of this shop. I only wish they carried Newport or Rhode Island specific gift cards or mugs.

    If you're looking for great coffee and heading out of Newport, seriously recommend Simple Merchant…read moreCoffee. 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.
