Egg salad club with fries
Pat B.

Small but friendly local breakfast lunch spot with a homey feel. The service was friendly and incredibly fast! I had an egg salad club which was like a BLT meets egg salad with fries. Both tasty. My hubs had 2 eggs, sausage links, home fries and toast which he said were worth coming back for. It's great because for us it's in our neighborhood.

We came for breakfast and I got the egg sandwich. I have a high bar for these and Chelsea's knows what they're doing. Kids had two HUGE pancakes. The surprise was the side of fruit cup : super fresh and no filler fruit to boot! Hard to beat the price too

Tomato Avocado Bacon Eggs Benedict
Stephanie L.

My go-to brunch place in the Newport/Middletown area! They have a special breakfast menu on the weekends and they never disappoint. Prices are very good compared to other breakfast joints around and I've never had to wait for a table (unlike a certain place on Broadway that has a line wrapped around the building). It's good hearty breakfast, the hollandaise is delicious and the eggs are almost always poached well. They do a softer breakfast potato but well seasoned and never underdone. Some of their weekend breakfast menu is consistent week to week but occasionally they have some gems that I've only seen shown up once or twice, such as strawberry and cream cheese stuffed french toast. Parking is breeze. They have a parking lot in front, a bit small, but since they have fast service and people are constantly coming and going, I've never had an issue finding a spot in the lot.

Greek omelet
Nina S.

Stopped by for a late breakfast and liked the cozy feel of the place. The server seemed to know everybody and treated us sweetly despite having lost her voice. Ordered the omelet specials for the day: greek (feta, tomato, spinach) with rye bread and potatoes mushroom-sausage-spinach-broccoli with wheat bread and potatoes Food came out fast. Omelets were unusually shaped for me (thin and square). TONS of cheese and fresh toppings, crispy potatoes, and well-buttered bread with complementary jam Super affordable, generously portioned food with diner feels in a small town. Would stop by again.

Home fries
Jennifer M.

Not quite sure how I feel about this place. I feel it's definitely a "locals" joint. The staff wasn't super friendly, they all seemed annoyed with one another, the waitress never came back to the table to see if we needed anything after our breakfast arrived and I just didn't get the warm and fuzzies here. I ordered a chocolate milk and the waitress came out with a bottle of Nesquik. Not a fan of that at all. To me it shows laziness and I would much rather have a freshly mixed chocolate milk with a bubble on top. Shortcuts don't impress me at restaurants. Food was descent, I had the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast. It was basically cream cheese with blueberries mixed in between two slices of bread. The flavor was really good, though it could have been hotter because many of my bites had stone cold cream cheese like it just came out of the refrigerator. The home fries were pretty good. (More flavorful than most). Bottom line, I like friendly, attentive people and we just didn't get that here. Felt like a "get em in and get em out" kinda place. Probably won't be back.

Cute little place for breakfast in Middletown. It's not fancy or trendy, like many of the cafes in town. Instead, Chelsea's has a real local vibe. Don't look for menus on the table. Just look up st the board for the menu and the specials. Both of us ordered specials, the Stuffed French Toast for 14 year old and the Omelet of the day for me. Both had a home cooked flavor and were delicious! The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Prices are very reasonable. Just remember to bring cash or you can use the ATM on the premises.

Ham and cheese omelette
Jesse L. R.

Ever in search of awesome options for breakfast we thought that we would try Chelsea's. First off, they are cash only... I know it costs an extra percentage to use a credit card machine, but sorry, that is just the price of doing business in this modern age. I have been to the smallest of shops in the most remote locations that accept credit cards; there is just no excuse. Enough of my rant and on to my review. So the inside gives off a cute diner feel. We were told to sit where we want and had plenty of options. The menu board is above the counter, so get a good look there at all that is going on before placing your order. I opted for a ham and cheese omelette with a side of home fries, and my wife chose blueberry stuffed French toast. The food came out remarkably fast and we instantly noticed a few oddities. Being a non-coffee drinker, my wife always orders chocolate milk to drink. We have been to breakfast at countless places and experienced limitless options of making this simple beverage... Chelsea's, however, opts to not make it at all and simply give you a bottle of nesquick, as if we were at Dunkin' Donuts... The second oddity i noticed was that my toast was presented whole (uncut) on a small paper plate. I have seen debates whether toast should be cut diagonally or lengthwise, but never whole... and then to get a paper plate involved is just strange in my opinion. The overall presentation of food showed that no love (or effort) was put into playing it. My omelette was not folded and just kind of flopped on the plate. I am not saying that a Michelin chef needs to get involved, but just try to take some pride in your work! Even the staff seemed to be bickering with each other and seemed rather unprofessional. The overall taste of the food was good. My omelette and a good ham to cheese ratio, and the home fries were tasty and did not require ketchup. That is what gets the stars... The overall vibe of this place, however, is rather negative and I don't plan to be back for that reason. I don't care if you hate your job or your coworkers, just don't let your customers know!

Our group was VERY close to heading downtown into New Port for breakfast because we didn't have cash for this joint. Luckily, a member of our tribe had a cash flow to front the group and we ventured to Chelsea's which was 2 minute fro our hotel. AND BOY, were WE HAPPY ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. Start to finish, Chelsea's was dope. The whole environment was so warm and family centered. We were greeted by the lovely team and were blown away with the prices. Dirt cheap. Normally, this leads to poor food in NYC. But, we weren't in NYC anymore. What we got: -OmLIT was excellent. So large and in charge. Was different options with a side of home fries that were cooked to perfection. -Cheese Burger (yes for breakfast). It WAS excellent. Super flavorful with a crap ton to toppings. Even an egg! ($4.95). Can't beat that! Gosh. If you're around the area you must stop by here for some great home cooking and a great environment. You also cannot beat the price. Totaling out to sub 70$ for 7 (yes, 7!) people.

Even though the location appears small there is tons of seating and also some outside dining when the weather cooperates. Hot tip: It can get pretty busy and the line to wait is outside, so be mindful of that. Also, it is BYOB and there are a couple if places near by to pick up some bubbles for a Saturday morning mimosa.

We were…read morehighly recommended by a wonderful and intelligent young woman to try this spot for Breakfast if we are in Newport! We took her advice and yes this place was quaint, inviting and very busy but it was a holiday in A historic Newport! We waited briefly to sit outdoors in the bright morning sun which was very close to the 12 O'Clock time! We did sit for a long while before being approached even for coffee or welcoming us but we all understood it was busy for 1 to handle maybe 7 tables that were filled! But, at some point I had to get up and go inside to politely say we had been waiting longer than one should expect! A moment or two our waitress came to take our beverage order and then after enjoying our coffee she came to take our Breakfast order, I chose the Holiday Special Omelette, which were two listed! The Shrimp and Prosciutto Omelette with Avocado sounded Amazing so that was my Choice! We all ordered! When it all arrived we took photos of each and they all looked very tasty! Anticipating my breakfast I delved into my Omelette and ate a bite and it was very tasty, took another bite still very tasty.....I paused and wondered " Where is the Shrimp and Prosciutto and Avocado?" I told my family member, I don't see either, we joked she said "maybe it's chopped... ". So, I flagged the waitress and asked her if this is what I ordered and she said, " She made a mistake thinking there were only one Special Omelette and apologized and will have one made immediately! I said Ok, she left and we joked about the Staff and then THE OMELETTE ARRIVED! It was spectacular looking and even better tasting! Unfortunately, my family already finished but it was OK! We sat still enjoying more coffee and then without being aware accidentally spilled coffee on my families slacks but we chose NOT to mention it! It was obviously this Waitress should have had additional help to take care of the outside guests! She was polite and did her best but she was overwhelmed! She brought the Check and she did mention she would remove my Omelette from the Bill as a courtesy for the error! That was acceptable and nice of this Cafe to do that! The Food was Excellent The Location outside was Nice The Service was a comedy of errors! The Day was Still wonderful!

Seafood is on the menu and we started with two stuffies or stuff quahogs and a clam cakes appetizers. Probably too much fried out of the gate but when in Rome... The clam cakes were individual and easier for sharing and were my fav between the two. Stuffie was for old times sake. Had the lobster roll, one of three on a New England vacation. Came with fries. Tasty of course but I think I prefer my bun toasted and the lobster meat in larger pieces rather than chopped up as is the case here. Best was the company catching up with old friends. Less experienced wait staff but it is the summer and these kids need jobs. We were all patient and super upbeat kids working hard to do a good job.

Also, it was a Wednesday, and Tickets had a "wings for a dollar" deal on Wednesdays. Neither of us wanted a big meal - just a couple of appetizers - so we headed over there. We were told to seat ourselves, which we did. Someone brought us menus, left, and never returned. We sat there for 20 minutes, when I finally went to the bar and asked if we could order. Someone (his name was Mason, and he was very nice) came by and took our orders. We ordered chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, and we each ordered a drink. I had wine, so nothing can really go wrong there. My partner ordered a margarita. He said it was so watered down, he wouldn't recognize it as a margarita at all. He ordered a second drink (rum & coke, I think), and said the same thing. Watery. He said they were the worst drinks he'd ever gotten. The wings were good. The mozzarella sticks were shaped more like mozzarella burgers, but they were tasty with marinara sauce on the side. If we were to return to Newport, we'd try somewhere else. The service and drinks were disappointing.

The ocean view made an already pleasant morning even more enjoyable. As someone who prefers a lighter breakfast, I was thrilled to find avocado toast and several other options that fit exactly what I was looking for. We started with two iced coffees, and I appreciated that they offered almond milk as a dairy-free alternative. I ordered the avocado toast, which is served on a pita rather than traditional bread. Topped with cucumber, tomato, and olives, it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect light breakfast. My husband ordered an omelet and said it was fantastic. His only suggestion would be a larger portion of the breakfast potatoes, but otherwise he thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The service was quick, accommodating, and very friendly throughout our visit. Between the beautiful setting, delicious food, and attentive staff, this was a wonderful breakfast experience. We can't wait to come back and try some of their lunch offerings. Highly recommend

And eat here, we did !! YiaYia's was so good. We ordered a bowl of lentil soup to share, which was delicious. Then, we each got our own pita sandwich. My husband ordered the GYRO PITA, which had grilled gyro meat, peppers, tomato, onion & tzatziki sauce, and I ordered an EGGPLANT PITA, which had fresh mozzarella, feta, grilled eggplant & olive oil, sitting open face on some grilled pita bread. We swapped half of our sandwiches, so we could each try the other's. We both liked the gyro pita a little more than mine (the eggplant), but make no mistake, they were BOTH GREAT. His was just a little bit better... so he told me afterward he was sorry he gave up his half sandwich... even though he liked the eggplant. I understood... but was secretly glad I got his half cuz it was really good. : ) We spoke with the owners, who were very nice. They asked us to come back, and while we said we would... and had every intention to do so cuz the food was so good, we just ran ourselves out of time. I was thinking we could get there for breakfast the next day, but it never happened... so for me, that just means we'll have to make good on the deal and get back to Newport (someday) and get that breakfast !! Too bad we live 3,000 miles away. It might take us awhile.

As noted above we have eaten here in the past. We have dined with large as well as small groups and have always been pleased. The place is beautiful, especially in the summer. The outdoor patio bar boasts a great view of Green End Pond. A great place to grab a drink and an appetizer. We started out on the patio and returned later for dinner. Based on our sub par experience the night before (see prior review) I was committed to having a great meal. We were not disappointed. I started with the clam chowder. Delicious. Flavorful and loaded with clams. My wife opted for the lobster bisque In an effort to negate the lousy lobster bisque she had on the previous night. Mission accomplished. She described it as buttery and creamy. Essentially the perfect bisque flavor. Contained within the bisque was a tremendous chunk of delicious lobster meat . For dinner, I chose the baked stuffed shrimp. It was delicious. Cooked to perfection with delicious stuffing, rice, pilaf, and broccoli. My only complaint is that I believe there should be more than 4 shrimp at this price. My wife selected the Pasta Bolognese. A dish that she has had and several other restaurants in several states and she ranked this right at the top of the list. Plenty of beef and pork combined with a tasty Italian sauce. When in the Newport area I suggest you skip the over hyped restaurants and head to Johnny's for a delicious meal with great atmosphere.
