Empire Tea & Coffee

Delicious coffee and lots of healthy and well prepared food options. Only downside is there isn’t enough seating - but the existing booths are super cool. They’re sort of suspended in the air. Loved that.

The staff is excellent. The match latte I had was overpriced but well madecand delicious. I don't think paying 6 dollars for a drink is appropriate in this economy. Points off

bubble tea was okay, didnt taste like the ones you get from asian bubble tea places

If you need a quick caffeine fix when you’re in Newport and you want to try something local to RI, then Empire Tea & Coffee has everything you need. I’ve had everything from espresso lattes and cold brew to teas and chai lattes. The only drink here I’ve ever gotten that missed the mark was a boba tea—the tapioca pearls were just off in terms of texture. Literally everything else I’ve gotten has been excellent. Their tea menu is one of the most extensive that I’ve ever seen at a place that also makes high quality coffee drinks. Take your time and flip through the whole tea menu—there’s something for everyone. The space here is HUGE too. It’s comfy and conducive for catching up with friends or doing work.

Great hole in the wall to sit and relax with friends

A local favorite, everything here is very good. Even if it's not exactly what you wanted, you won't be disappointed. In the years and years I've been going here, the most disappointed I've ever been pretty much matches up with a regular experience at any other coffee shop. My favorite drink: Dirty Horchata Chai!

Great coffee (although I always get espresso drinks because they rarely have a dark roast and I am strictly a dark roast guy). Try the Aquidneck Honey Latte. Lots of seating (couches, easy chairs, lots of tables). It's a huge space for a coffee shop.

This was my first time at this coffee house. It is a second rate Starbucks want to be. The seating is substandard and the wait staff leaves something to be desired. I think if a business is demanding of it's patrons money, they should at least train their people to smile. Whatever this place is trying to be, it just does not measure up.

Decent menu offering and good seating. Unfortunately London Fog latte was so bland. It was like drinking milk-flavored water.

Delicious coffee and tea, wide variety of baked goods, comfortable seating in a beautifully decadent room. What not to like? :-) We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
