    Kit Coffee is one of my favorite to-go spots for a cute brunch/ breakfast. I think the coffee they have to offer is really good, and I always enjoy having their specialty lattes. I don't think I've ever had a bad latte or matcha here, so I would just order anything on the menu that piques your interest haha. But their Earl Grey latte and Salted Maple Matcha have been their best stand-out drinks to me. Both of them encapsulate great flavor while maintaining the coffee and matcha taste in each drink. For the food, I would definitely recommend their Cilantro Fried Rice and their breakfast burrito. They're both packed with flavor, and it hits the spot for all my savory breakfast/ brunch people out there. The inside and outside of this restaurant are also super nice; there's not one bad place to sit and relax here.

    KIT Coffee is my kind of coffee place. Love the vibes inside. The music choice was on point. I saw a lot of people on their laptops and hanging out with family/friends. The staff was nice and my drinks and food came out quickly for being busy. The line was out the door. When you come, expect to wait. I got one of their signature drinks, Strawberries Wild and an Iced Vanilla Latte. I'm usually not a fan of fruit flavors paired with coffee, but this drink was pretty good. It had espresso, strawberry milk, strawberry cream too, and bits. The breakfast burrito is a standout for good reason. It had scrambled eggs, cilantro rice, hash brown, cheddar jack cheese, grilled onions, and bacon. I came hungry, so this totally filled me up. I was so happy afterwards.

    Perfect spot to get a coffee, grab a bite to eat, and study. I ordered the scrambled egg toast and it hit the spot.

    Really disappointed with my Salted Maple Latte. The menu doesn't mention it comes with cinnamon, so I initially thought my drink was made wrong, and I was told it's added by default, which felt misleading. I asked for a remake without cinnamon, but the second drink was still overly sweet and tasted mostly like milk with barely any coffee flavor. I only took one sip and couldn't finish it--overall, not worth the price and not recommended if you want a real coffee taste.

    Started my morning here with family for a caffeine boost and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the berry matcha, which comes with oat milk by default, and really enjoyed it. The sweetness was perfectly balanced and the berry flavor didn't overpower the drink. The matcha quality itself was just okay, the drink as a whole came together well. I'd give it a solid 7.5/10. Also got to try a few sips of what my family ordered, including the 'purple dream' and 'strawberry alarm clock' which were both solid. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and even around the corner, plus a spacious interior with lots of patio seating. A nice spot for a chill morning coffee run. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and in the mood to try something new.

    KIT coffee used to be my go-to spot for bacon breakfast burritos, but now they've turned into hash brown burritos with minimal flavor. I miss the old recipe, please bring it back. Matcha 9/10 Burritos 3/10

    I stopped by after walking a loop around Castaway Park since it's conveniently within walking distance. I probably wouldn't recommend trying to park in the plaza, though--the parking is very limited. I ordered a regular matcha latte with almond milk and was pleasantly surprised that it was $6.50, especially since many places are charging over $7 now. I placed a mobile pickup order after being warned by some friends that the line and crowd can get pretty bad, especially on weekends. I do wish I had timed my order a bit later into my walk, as my drink ended up a little watered down and the matcha flavor wasn't as pronounced. One of the girls I was walking with ordered hers later, and her drink came out a much more vibrant green than mine.

    very cute coffee shop! I really liked the decor an the windows made the place feel so opened and clean. I got an iced latte and I thought it was a little watered down but I have a preference for very dark and strong coffee. Parking was a little hard in the plaza since there were so many people. There is more parking but its reserved for the medical center.

    Parking is awful, I wouldn't frequent this spot just because of the parking situation. Getting coffee should be a relaxing experience imo. Felt employees were friendly, despite other reviews. Decor is nice, with seating inside and out as well. I ordered the maple salted latte which is super good, would like mine a little stronger though, maybe another shot next time. I'm happy with my choice and would def get this again however.

    I visited Kit coffee for the first time this past week and am looking forward to going back again! We ordered two avocado toasts and two lattes - I'd order those exact items again. In particular, I felt that the coffee was much better than other coffee I've had in the area (humanity, etc.) Heads up if you order food, they give you a number - the number is only for the food. You pick up the coffee yourself at the pickup area. There was tons of seating. Groups chatting, students working, and some folks reading.

    I've been going to kit coffee a few times now and I'm always pleased with the customer service! They are always so helpful and nice! I love going here for the pour overs! They are always perfect every time! This place has indoor and outdoor seating! A nice comfy place for a coffee date!

    Strawberry Wild and caramel latte
    Chris D.

    After eating lunch next door I figured I would check this coffee shop out. There was a line out the door and there's no menu telling you the options until you get to the register. The giant wall menu is just the general categories and prices. While waiting in line I checked out their online menu but even that was missing the seasonal drinks. Crowds never slowed down with a constant line out the door. Atmosphere is very cold and sterile with service to match. I ordered the "strawberry wild latte" and my wife ordered the caramel. We snagged a table and waited for them to softly mumble my name in the deafening loud room. If you miss your name your order will sit there for eternity. I have to agree with the review from a few days ago. People try to cut the line. Two times a group tried to cut us in line. Be aware! This is no cozy relaxing coffee shop! I wasn't feeling the place until I took a sip of my drink. Entire thing was infused with strawberry, not just the cold foam. It was delicious to the last sip and I was sad when the astronomically priced drink was over. My wife loved her drink too. Pastry case was empty. We liked their drinks and would go again if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip just to come here.

My latte, unfortunately, was one of the worst I've had... it tasted like milk with just a splash of coffee. The staff was very kind and happily replaced it with an Americano, which was much better. One inconvenience was the restroom situation. The closest bathrooms were by the lighthouse, which is a bit of a walk. I only wanted to rinse the lobster off my fingers, so I ended up using a glass of water outside instead. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the food had some strong points, but the disappointing coffee and lack of convenient restrooms kept this from being a higher-rated experience. I would give it a 3.5 star but since its not allowed, the experience was pleasant enough for a 4. Prices were decent id say

    A perfect restaurant for a night out!…read more I would honestly give a 5/5 in all areas to The Dock, the food was exquisite and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. The space is a bit small but very lovely and you can see the harbor right from where you eat. There's even a private walkway you can go to and take pictures or enjoy the scenery. We got the halibut, scallops, lamb, duck, and (not pictured here) the soup de jour which, for us, was the gazpacho. Overall I would say everything was a delight to eat, everything was tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of sauce and toppings. For me, the soup was the stand out though, one of the best gazpachos I've ever had and I'm not usually a cold soup kind of person. The dock is an upscale seafood restaurant that I believe may use French inspired techniques? Which I would say is the only critique I could have of it. Everything was so tender and perfect, some dishes started feeling a little one note (a very very good note though). There were a variety of ingredients that came on all the plates that, but felt like they never veered far enough to create a more interesting balance for the palate. A classic complaint of my steak too juicy, my lobster too buttery. But technique-wise everything was executed perfectly but I would say if you are more of an adventurous eater you should definitely talk to your waiter/waitress and ask for their advice. Would definitely recommend for any special occasion or if you want enjoy the most fork (dare I even say, spoon) tender meal of your life.

Totally understandable as it's peak summer, and a weekend, they get busy. The restaurant was hot and humid. Now I'm sure they have AC, and even with all the windows and patio doors being open, they really should have opted to use the AC. The entire dining experience was uncomfortable. We ate our meal literally sweating. Even our server was sweating lol All our drinks went room temp in a matter of 10 minutes, we had to repeatedly ask for glasses of ice from the bar just to try and mitigate our body temperatures somehow. Also, the booth itself was incredibly tacky. And I don't mean visually tacky, I mean the texture. The feeling of plastic when it gets really old and it feels sticky to the touch, that tacky. You couldn't slide in or out of that booth if your life depended on it. And again, considering how humid and hot the interior was, it only made it worse. The lighting was also so dim that it gave the vibes of being sat in the corner of a musky Denny's diner lol. Halfway through our meal they turned the lights off for dinner service (I get it, to set the mood) but it made the table so dark we had to ask them to turn them back on so we could see the food on our plates. It wasn't that the entire restaurant was dim, it's certain tables (and sadly ours was definitely one of them) We had a party of 6, and one person got their meal well before the rest of the table. We of course insisted she begin eating, which she did, and our remaining meals came out as soon as she was done with hers. The waiter removed her plate as he set down everyone else's lol. The food was good, but, again with how uncomfortable the environment was, it was hard to enjoy. The restaurant was also fairly empty throughout our meal. We got there before 5 so that awkward "linner" time frame. Even so, we had to flag down our waiter for another round of drinks, water, etc. The Shorebird absolutely has stunning views, and that's what they're known for. Their food is solid, mist dishes fairly justifies the high price point. This visit was just not their best. Overall service and ambiance, fell extremely flat. I set the bar high for my guests, as they traveled in from out of town and I raved about my experience from a few months back. Granted, I was sat at the patio, overlooking the beautiful view, and the service was impeccable. With all the stellar dining options in Newport, unless you find yourself at a table on the balcony, I don't think Shorebird is the obvious choice. You'll end up spending the money regardless so you may as well look for a spot that is guaranteed to meet the expectations of the price point without having to be dependent on a view.

It's waterfront and can be accessed via the boardwalk (it's behind the street-side shops). Parking can be tough and very expensive - you'll likely have to park in the structure and walk over. Make sure to take your ticket with you for validation. Seating is available inside and outside on their covered patio. Plenty of space for parties of all sizes. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make a same-day reservation for a Sunday afternoon. They had plenty of open seating even when we got there. Tables were very dirty. They have a lot of work to do - it seems like months if not years of food, dust, and salty moist air mixed together and collected in the creases in the tables, on the walls, etc.. It's like a sticky gross residue that never gets completely clean. Many people like to dress nice in the area but honestly I would hate to wear something nice here out of fear it would get dirty. We also required new plates as ours had old food stuck to them. Service was not great. Our waiter was somewhat attentive but not nice - the poor guy seemed miserable like he hated his job and did not want to be there. Despite the restaurant being full, he wouldn't come by often when we actually needed something - he even disappeared towards the end and a new waiter had to help us. Food is delicious. Besides the location, their saving grace. We tried the sandwiches and yummy! Fries were also delicious with the spicy mayo. Love the different options they have, overall. They also had some great looking food on the brunch and drinks section of the menu. You can scan the QR code at the table to see pictures of each menu item. Overall was good and we'll be back every once in a while because we love Lido. Will try sitting inside in hopes the tables are decent. Really hope management makes some improvements though!

However, today's service was so bad to the point that I been waving my hands and making eye contact to order for 15-20 minutes. And they were actually ignore us. Maybe we didn't dress decent enough for them to serve us since we were in our regular jean and tshirt. So I have to actually speak up and call them to order. So when we get to order, it was 10:20pm already. After the foods are brought out, we had a decent dinner together and they are about to close. So one of the server brought out the check for us to pay and we decided to pay with exact amount with cash and leave tip in cash also. One of the server genuinely SMIRKED at us while counting the money. Like he looked at us and SMIRKED. He probably has a bad day or a busy day but still, it's a Tuesday. So instead of a nice dinner and a good nap, we had a really bad close of the day because of service at Zinque. So if you want food at night, you can come to Zinque but don't expect too much for the services recently, since it was SO MUCH BETTER back then until today.
