Empire Tea & Coffee

Empire Coffee in Newport is an absolute gem! Nestled right in the heart of the best shops and restaurants, it’s the perfect spot to recharge during a day out. We ordered mochas, and they were rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious—some of the best we've had. But the real standout? Their chocolate croissants. They're flaky, buttery, and filled with the most decadent chocolate—truly out of this world. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service was fantastic. A must-visit if you're in Newport!

I love this place! There’s a cute woody open cubicle that I love, the seat gets lots of natural lights and so pretty! Their outside seatings are great as well. Their staff are always nice too. I’ve tried their americano and sencha and they’ve all been great!

This has become our go to place after our favorite closed. Food is very fresh, made to order (very specific on my end) and offer a great selection. It is convenient to be able to place your order ahead and skip the line especially if you’re taking a yoga class in the studio that’s above this location. The bread for their egg sandwiches is delicious!!!

The first coffee shop I discovered in Newport and loved it ever since. Lovely coffee, nice outdoors sitting area, dog friendly, and perfect location!

The Day Break sandwich is the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! I will now be disappointed going anywhere else. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great.
