I have been coming to Custom House Coffee for years and it continues to be one of my favorite coffee spots on Aquidneck Island. 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! read more

Custom House Coffee - Banana Cream Cold Brew (Cold brew, banana syrup, sweet cream and banana cold foam.) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I was looking for a good coffee shop on my trip to Rhode Island and stumbled across Custom House on my way to check in to my hotel. The baristas were so friendly and knowledgeable. On our first trip we got the iced honey bee and iced matcha. The honey bee was delightful and sweet but not too sweet. While the matcha was probably some of the best matcha I've had. We came back the next day and ordered 3 of the matchas. It is veteran owned and they offer military discount. I'm a little sad there isn't a location close to me because it would easily be my to go coffee shop. read more

Breakfast sandwich was great but latte could be improved. It had no flavor even after a packet of sugar added. We've been trying out various coffee shops on this vacation and they all seem to make their lattes their own way. read more

Fast service, nice vibe, wide menu - can't ask for more Got their medium roast of the day - organic Peruvian Very reasonable prices read more

Custom House Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

This place was a great find!! Was visiting the area and stopped in to get hubby a coffee but found an interesting tea drink for myself which was a delicious surprise!! I had an iced coconut berry chai that was so surprisingly good that I came back 2 days later to get another for the drive home! Servers were friendly and helpful. And the coffee was quite good. Nice setup in the back where you can further customize your beverage with different types of milks and sweeteners. Cute area to sit and enjoy your drinks too. read more

Custom House Coffee - Drink specials for the day - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

I love Custom House! Stopped in on a Sunday morning around 830 and wasn't too busy yet, got the Zombie Killer which is so so good. They always have yummy pastries too but I opted out this morning. They have some tables and couches in the back for seating if you wanted to hang out for a bit. Around 9 I feel like they usually start to get a steady line but they are pretty quick with service so they keep it moving. Would suggest if you're in the area and don't want to spend $12 on a coffee read more

Popular place, and for good reason. The line was out the door, but it moves quickly. All lattes come with 2 shots of espresso, so you can order a S, M, or L depending on how milky you like it, which I think is a great idea. The iced pistachio latte half sweet was perfect. Not too strong of a coffee flavor in the large size, so I would opt for medium next time but would definitely return if I'm in the area. read more

The food, coffee and ambience were merely acceptable. The line was long. They forgot to make our food so we waited for 25 minutes and then they has tried to cover it up when I asked why it took so long. And they didn't warm my danish. But it was pretty good coffee. My girlfriend enjoyed it so they get a star. But don't go here. read more

I love custom house. They always address me by name, which makes me feel valued. Their beverages are so tasty as well. I love when I can get there for one! It's cute and cozy, and I love the outdoor seating options too. read more

Delicious cinnamon rolls, fantastic tasting coffee. Great decour and very pleasant saff. Highly recommended.

The staff here are so kind and friendly. I love love love their seasonal drinks. Honestly my favorite coffee shop in RI!

The food was amazing and the best coffee in Newport hands down. Not over rated. Not over priced. Great location.

If you are looking for delicious beverages and quality service, you need to stop by Custom! We were so happy to have a coffee shop right by our Airbnb. The ladies working were so sweet and even offered a replacement drink if I did not like my first order. Love that they were dedicated to making sure their customers enjoyed their drinks! Will be back for another spiced chai, peppermint cream cold brew and strawberries and cream latte read more

Great customer service! Great drinks!! Amazing coffee!!! I love the strawberries & cream iced latte Very Delicious! The shop itself is very cozy! Even when the line is out of the door the employees work fast & efficiently! read more

Great ambience, coffee and food - was headed for a 5 star review until 2 things turned the tide: 1. I ordered a piece of coffee cake and the gal that prepared them (not the cashier) reached over 6-8 pieces of coffee cake to secure the clearly smallest piece in the display - I don't care much - except that it took effort to pass the first 2 rows and it felt and looked intentional 2. We had just paid nearly $25 for 2 hot drinks and a bakery item and my wife asked for a cup of hot water. The cashier said no problem, didn't mention it would cost, handed the small cup of hot water to my wife and then charged us $2. If we had been told it was $2 we may have made another decision - but felt ambushed. The coffee is good. The service is passable and the $2 hot water turned a 4-5 star review into something less. Will likely jot be back here. read more

Super cute local coffee shop, and yes, the line was out the door! It's one of those places you have to make a quick decision when you get to the register, so if you're not local or familiar with the menu, be prepared to act quickly! The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, and coffee beans for purchase. My bagel and coffee was delicious & I'm glad we stumbled upon this place. read more

Cute little coffee shop with a lot of options. Good seating area as well. They have a larger brewing area where someone will grind fresh beans for you. Their vanilla matcha was a little sweeter than I would like but espresso and cold brew were amazing. Very reasonable pricing as well. They have a cold pressed juice fridge, and a lot of bakes and bagged good options. read more

Highly recommended coffee house. Freshly ground small batches & roasted. Delicious. Picked up a couple bags of mystery coffee while I was there as well for home. read more

If you're passing through on your way to Newport (or just in the area) this is a great coffee house with delicious coffee - tastes the way coffee should taste. read more

Stopped here on our way home from Newport and happy we did. Crowded even on a cold January morning, but the line moved quickly and we found a table. Lots of pastries and other items, but couldn't resist the crumb cake. Got an iced coffee and a Honey Bee and both were delicious. Staff was very friendly and everything came out quickly. Small touches-selection of liquid sugars (agave, simple, honey) and loved the decor including the vintage coffee cans (brought back memories of my grandmother and her cup of Maxwell House or Chock Full O'Nuts.) Would definitely go back to try other drinks! read more

As the sign says outside, "Don't panic" if there is a line, it goes fast. Very cool vibe inside. Love the way it is decorated. The servers work quick to get out your coffee and whatever edibles you order. Small areas to sit inside, but plenty of outside seating if it's nice. read more

Custom House Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Wow, amazing coffee, finally a place that makes a latte that isn't pure milk. Great roasters. However, don't get a pastry. My blueberry scone tasted like dry butter. But if you are coming for just coffee, this place is a 5 all the way. read more

This is easily the best coffee spot in Middletown. They offer a variety of coffee products, baked goods, and sandwiches in a cozy atmosphere that caters to people from all walks of Middletown life. If I have one complaint, it's that they aren't open longer hours. I'd love to be able to stop in in the evening for a treat and a decaf, as nowhere else offers this kind of atmosphere in Middletown. read more

Super cute little coffee shop in Portsmouth, definitely saw a lot of locals who had branded cups! They have a lot of fun, coffee flavor options, as well as some creative specialty drinks. Service was really quick and even the line was out the door when we got there and moved very fast. I was feeling a little bit under the weather when I came here and I had a request for a tea with some lemonade, which is probably not a common request that they got, and they were super accommodating and friendly and didn't make me feel weird for asking! There's also a coffee roasting machine in the shop where you can also buy freshly roasted coffee! Super cute spot, highly recommend! read more

Excellent coffee. Staff is friendly. The place is normally packed but the line does move quickly. These ladies will quickly and accurately get you in and out in no time. Pastries are excellent and their gluten free options are delicious too. Cute atmosphere inside and out. Dogs are welcome on the outside patio only. read more

Stopped in for a morning coffee. The interior was cool with everything coffee related. They had their own roaster and a bunch of different coffee beans for sale. Ordered their zombie killer which was undiluted cold brew with caramel and vanilla flavors and then topped with milk. This may have been some of the strongest cold brew I've even had! But it was delicious! read more

This is a great place to meet a friend as there tends to be seating and it's not overly loud. They have the best little squares of crumble coffee cake around and their coffee is really delicious. I like to stop by whenever I have an opportunity read more

Horrible service and even found a hair in my breakfast sandwiches for god sake up on a hair net.

Dirty chai latte, absolutely THE BEST. GO TO THIS COFFEE SHOP IF YOU WANT A REAL COFFEE IN NEWPORT! Coffee is rich, they roast the beans right there, it's not diluted with water, and it doesn't sit in all day. The coffee is hot, fresh, made to order, baristas know what they're doing. The smell of the coffee is amazing! They have some cool special drinks I've never seen before such as a "naughty chai latte," which actually has cold brew instead of coffee. We also tried a cappuccino, which was amazing! read more

Pretty nice coffee shop in Middletown! The first time I went here the service was really rude and weird. The second time I had a much better experience. They serve Knead products which I love. The coffee was great! Very rich and not bitter at all. They also offer decaf cold brew which I feel like is not that common! It's a nice local vibe and there are lots of regulars catching up. Definitely worth a stop while in Middletown! read more

Great selection of different roasts to choose from for coffee. The space is nice & comfortable but gets a little tight during busy times.

Long line. Moves slowly. 30 minutes for a boiling hot, lousy cappuccino that was more a latte, way too much milk. A coffee shop that doesn't know how to make a cappuccino. read more

At the recommendation of Ragged Island Brewery, I had to check out Custom House Coffee. What a nice coffee shop! During this pandemic, they are offering curbside contactless pickup for food, coffee, or beans. I opted for the Custom House blend. The bold aroma is enough to grab you and wake you up on its own, but the flavor is just as impressive. They have a wide variety of freshly roasted beans, so there is sure to be something for everyone. After following this coffee shop I am impressed with the tasty looking breakfast sandwiches that they turn out. Much more appealing than the blah chain shop down the road. When I go back to the office I will have to make this a regular stop! read more

Happy to have visited Custom House. Their coffee tastes great, and they have non-dairy options as well. Oat milk latte was a great choice today! They also have pastries and other breakfast items. Right now, they offer some outdoor seating and take out. You may order ahead online as well on their website. We would love to visit again when we come back to Newport read more

Wow, I love this place: from the discounts for veterans, to the numerous coffee beans available for purchase in whole bean or ground form, to the baked goods made just around the corner, to the great decor - old coffee cans lining the room and fun vintage & vintage-like signs - to the cozy seating & free WiFi, to the KICKASS iced coffee. All this, and cupping/tasting on Saturdays? Mic drop. I'm done. Totally worth a drive from PVD to get here. read more
