    Iced chai (left) and chocolate malt latte (right)
    Natalie V.

    Disclaimer: I did spill my coffee on my white dress because of the cold foam lid not being secure so keep that in mind. I ordered a Farmers Bagel (with the spicy sun-dried tomato cream cheese, plain bagel), and it was excellent. I think it would be better if you add an egg or some protein, but the bagel was soft on the inside but firm on the outside. The cream cheese was great but not a full coat, which I thought was strange. I like a thin layer of cream cheese but I think it was rushed so I get why it wasn't evenly spread, no worries. I also ordered the seasonal chocolate malt latte and it was delicious. It's like if melted chocolate ice cream were a coffee. The food and drinks are delicious, but this place is way too popular for its own good. It is pretty pricey and a very small place. The decor is great and the workers are helpful. Definitely a little overhyped but I understand why. It was just a little overwhelming for me.

    Raspberry chip latte

    First time visiting - the raspberry chip latte had me drooling !! It tasted just like an ice cream sundae. The chocolate is dark & very well balanced with the raspberry. I think nitro bars homemade syrups are what makes them shine! I also tried the carmalized banana latte and was pleasantly surprised. It was also very well balanced not too sweet, not artificial at all. The line did go out the door but moved quickly. Next time I would order online. Irs clean but not very spacious indoors, seating is limited due to how many people there are.

    Stopped in for a quick coffee after a walk around town and this place was perfect. Came in around 1pm and was able to immediately order and get a nice break in the air conditioning. You have to try the iced banana latte, such a treat!

    Had to wait in line 20 minutes on a busy Saturday morning but it was worth it! Latte and ricotta toast were delicious and employees were super friendly! There was even an employee who came outside to give us menus while we waited to get inside. Such a cool place and the lattes are great!

    The coffee and food was amazing. There is actually no way I would ever wait 45 minutes for a coffee and avacodao toast again though. Especially outside with the sun beating down on me in Newport. It's a touristy must hit though, and has a line for a reason.

    The pesto bagel was great, hearty portion, and the pesto cream cheese was absolutely fantastic. Their spicy sun-dried tomato cream cheese is also fantastic and the perfect amount of spice. Their coffees are great and staff is friendly, lots of fun and seasonal options, next time would try it less sweet. The whip top is a must try!

    This is the coffee bar! The place was packed! Literally a roped off line in front. Once inside people are chatting, laughing, eating, drinking, awesome vibe! The employees are all friendly and cool. I asked the barista for her favorite drink and breakfast item, she ordered me a guacamole everything bagel and an iced chocolate malt latte float, 5 shots of espresso in that thing, Amazing! I was with a bunch of people and everyone got a drink and everyone loved it. We had an awesome time in Newport and The Nitro Bar played a part in that.

    I've never seen so many Gen Zers at any one spot at one time. Seems to have a line that reaches outside but it moves relatively fast. Everything did taste high quality and the menu it's unique and interesting. Everything on the menu is also pricey. If you're not in a rush, it's cool place to try and get a drink with flavors you probably never had before. Is it worth all the type it gets, Im not sure of that.

    The biggest question is "is it worth the line" and honestly yeah. We waited maybe 30 mins (I wouldn't wait any longer than that). The staff was all nice. They accept Apple Pay. Merch is way too expensive (not worth it). They gave me whip on my latte when I didn't ask for it, so it was WAY too sweet for me and so I didn't finish it, but if they hadn't put any whip on it, it would have been perfect (I also asked for it half sweet). Now the breakfast sandwich was awesome. The perfect amount of arugula so it wasn't over powering and they put the aiolis on the side so you could just put as much as you wanted on it. Would 100% recommend. I would also recommend the lattes but just know if you get a whip or malt it's going to taste like ice cream

    The Nitro Bar is hyped up for the right reasons. I went early Saturday morning when they opened and there was already a line. I ordered a cookie butter latte and a pizza bagel. The cookie butter whip with the cookie crumbles is as delicious as it looks. Inside the cafe, they have sweatshirts, mugs, and bags. They also had a good amount of tables but I can definitely see it being tight when it is peak times. Note that they don't have much parking so walking is your best bet.

    Nitro Bar is a Newport staple and is definitely worth the hype. I ordered a cookie butter latte which comes with cookie butter whip and cookie crumbles. The coffee was a perfect color and comes mixed already. The Nitro Bar merch inside is so cute and they have coffee mugs and canvas bags. I highly recommend adding Nitro Bar to your Newport plans. Go early because they get busy!!

    Caramelized banana latte, whipped cookie butter latte and nitro chai
    Anushka M.

    I first saw Nitro Bar through social media and loved their seasonal drinks and the variety on the menu. I told myself when I had to opportunity to go to Rhode Island I had to try it. A year later, the opportunity finally came but I was sadly disappointed. We waited about 25 minutes in line which was expected. We tried the caramelized banana latte, whipped cookie butter latte and a chai. The two lattes honestly tasted the same, neither one having any banana or cookie butter flavor, just a generic sweetness to it. The chai was what you'd expect, nothing exceptional. Overall we weren't impressed but I do hope to try other seasonal drinks if I'm ever back in the area

    Merch for purchase, naturally

    Am I in a small town coffee shop or watching the line to ride steel vengeance on Memorial Day weekend? I sat remorsefully reading a book with an empty cortado glass wondering how many patrons were glaring at me for not giving up the seat (and probably soaking up what little oxygen remained inside needlessly). I sat in a traffic jam (inside the shop) planning my exiting path through the throng of people waiting to order for several minutes. The coffee is fantastic. My cortado two Sundays in a row has been consistently flavorful, punchy, and delightful. The banana bread was delicious. The staff however seem overwhelmed and it shows JB the service. "Can I have the bread warmed?" "We can't do that." "Thank you for the coffee and food." "Your cup and plates go over there." Highly recommend the coffee and food. Just don't expect to enjoy it on site. Postscript If you're looking to start a coffee shop, across the street from here would be a perfect venue to siphon off the customers waiting in 10 degree weather just enter the store.

    Had to try this viral spot. The drinks are unique and the food is pretty good. The salted chocolate cookies is a standout though.

    Good study spot?

    I would say so! It's pretty quiet, and even though seating is limited, it's usually not crazy crowded. Also the cookies make great study snacks!

    If you're looking for great coffee and heading out of Newport, seriously recommend Simple Merchant…read moreCoffee. It's only about a 5-minute drive from the Wharf, so it's an easy stop if you're staying downtown. We stopped here right before Sprout & Lentil, and again as we were leaving Newport on our last day. The first day I had the espresso + citrus soda, while hubby had an Old Fashioned. The next day I tried the espresso tonic, which works so well--it's almost like magic. Truly coffee wizardry. Husband got the Old Fashioned again because apparently you don't mess with a good thing. It's dog-friendly with plenty of outdoor seating, plus indoor seating, Wi-Fi, and parking. They also have both Just Egg and Impossible sausage, which is great for vegan options. If you're vegan, ask about the cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and other toppings to see what's vegan or if they have vegan substitutions. We only ordered coffee here. The space also has a fun community feel, with Magic: The Gathering events hosted there. Great coffee, creative drinks, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth the quick drive from downtown Newport!

    2.5/5 I ordered a…read moremix of drinks to get a solid feel for the menu--overall, there's clear potential here, but execution needs tightening. Ordered 1&1. Espresso (straight + mini cortado) The straight was under-extracted, resulting in a noticeable sourness and lack of balance. Not undrinkable, but it lacked the smoothness and depth you'd hope for. The cortado, however, improved the experience--the milk helped round out the acidity and made it far more approachable. Espresso Tonic: This ended up being the standout. It's definitely an acquired taste, but if you enjoy bright, citrus-forward drinks, this works. The subtle sweetness and orange notes complemented the espresso nicely, creating something refreshing and unique--perfect for warmer weather. Reminds me of a Matcha Milkis but with espresso instead. Iced Caramel Latte: A bit too milk-heavy for my preference. The espresso got lost, and while there were faint crème brûlée-like notes and a touch of caramel, the overall profile felt muted and underwhelming. Service: Excellent. One of the drinks was initially forgotten which resulted in me waiting several minutes, but the staff handled it well--quick apology and a complimentary drink chip. That level of accountability goes a long way and stands out compared to many other shops. Ambiance: Relaxed and inviting. The space has a fun, casual vibe with merchandise ranging from hoodies to cards, giving it some personality beyond just being a coffee stop. Overall: There's a strong foundation here. With more consistency in espresso extraction and slight adjustments to drink balance, this could easily be a solid spot.

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.

Ranks fourth on my all time coffee places, (1. Malino in Victoria Canada, 2. Grok in Sheffield GB, 3. Frame in Vienna Virginia).
