We came to Newport to renew my driver's license. Afterward, we needed to do some errands and needed a bite to eat. We happened upon The Big Spoon and were delighted to find fresh sandwich offerings and beautifully displayed pastries-- just what the doctor ordered! Since we were committed to several stops on the way home, we purchased a Turkey, Swiss, and Spinach Wrap and a (generously sized!) frosted Blueberry Sweet Roll to take along. The owner could not have been more hospitable. He gladly cut our sweet roll in two for my sweetie and I to share and pointed out that there were dressings for the wrap in the sandwich cooler from which we were free to choose.
The wrap was fresh and tasty, I chose ranch dressing which was a nice compliment. The Blueberry Sweet Roll convinced my partner and I that the baker knows her stuff! It was frosted with a delicious butter cream and the tender pastry was filled with blueberries--we will be finding reasons to stop at The Big Spoon as often as we can! read more
