We affectionately termed these "discount meat nights." The Cafe's $10 burger and fries on Monday nights is easily the best Discount Meat Night deal around in 2026. Don't get me wrong, I still love High Hope's $20 smash burger and beer on Wednesdays, but The Cafe's killer au poivre burger and fries for $10 is just a monster deal. The cost-taste ratio is off the charts. It was tough to get a good picture of the burger in the vibey bar room, but check out their Instagram for some drool worthy shots: @thecaferi

Took a while to arrive. The pork belly was exquisitely rendered with beautifully charred skin and tender meat. Lobster roll served warm was very good, the lobster was a little overcooked but still a highlight. Buttermilk Fried Chicken had super crisp skin and was executed and presented perfectly, great tasting together with the accompanied pickled vegetables and hot-honey butter. The best dish of the night. Sticky toffee pudding was as good as advertised: sticky, textured, with interesting mouthfeel offset by lightly whipped cream. Tequila based El Mariachi was tasty and balanced but not memorable.

The staff is always friendly, the coffee is consistently delicious (and strong!), and the seasonal menu never disappoints. Thanks to their monthly specials, I've become a cold brew lover (instead of iced lattes) and always look forward to seeing what's new. Whether I'm meeting friends for a casual catch-up or a "work" meeting, there's always a perfect spot to settle in, both inside and outside. What makes Custom House even more special is their commitment to the community. I love seeing them partner with local organizations and offer food-sensitive options so more people can enjoy what they do. Their recent giveaway with Friends of Newport Skatepark is another great example of how they continue to give back. Thank you for being such a wonderful community staple. Here's to many more years of great coffee and great people!

Friendly customer service, delicious gluten free food options! What's better then that?! My kids love mini muffin Saturday's! The cinnamon rolls are also gigantic and delicious. Also, I think SH review is unfair and uncalled for! To give one star based on price alone is ridiculous. The rising cost of ingredients makes it challenging for anyone in the food industry right now. I will pay a little extra for homemade from scratch any day over something over processed from a chain grocery story. Give them a a try! read more
