"Was meeting a friend for a walk at Cliff Walk & stopped here for a vanilla chai latte as I was very early. The latte was great & although I don’t drink coffee the aroma inside was fabulous! There were many folks sitting & enjoying themselves. The line was out the door but the baristas were very efficient & friendly! Will definitely stop in again when I am in town for some of the delicious looking desserts & another chai!"

"I went to Newport RI for the day, and on my way back, i came across this coffee house. It was a Saturday, so It was pretty busy, but there was a decent sized lot to park in, and I was able to find a space. From the outside, it looks like a little house with a porch. They had flower boxes and tables and chairs. When you walked in, it was very inviting the food looked amazing. There were old wood barrels and an area where it looked like they made their own bags of coffee to sell. I loved the old jars and cans that lined shelves near the ceiling. Their was ample room for people to sit and enjoy their food and beverages as there were a couple of different areas with seating. I ordered a latte and a cinnamon roll, and the associates were very pleasant. The order came out quickly and was delicious. The cinnamon roll was the best I've ever had, I will definitely go back again. If you haven't checked them out yet. Please do, you won't be disappointed."

"Nice place. Theirs job is really coffee i belived :) You can see them roasting and packaging there. Prices are fair. It has a great coffee smell. There are tables inside and outside if you want to hang out. You can buy their own products and packaged coffees. I bought a latte, the coffee was really fresh. I think it has a few awards too. An enjoyable stop on the road :))"
