Empire Tea & Coffee

They have decent selections. Their tapioca boba definitely isn’t the best. When you do order a tea with boba, they WILL fill the cup half way. Just letting you know a head of time. Fair warning.

Best coffee shop(s) in Newport. Three locations, Broadway, Seaman's Institute at Bowen's Wharf and Bellevue Avenue. Great pastry and breakfast sandwiches. Friendly staff. Wifi available.

Excellent Nitro Cold Brew (and hot coffee). Got an almond croissant that was amazing. Will be coming back here regularly that’s for sure!

Great atmosphere, great coffee and tea. Pretty kid friendly too which is a massive plus. Usually camp out here with a coffee and my daughter when mom has appointments.

Been here, done that, and bought the T shirt that says, "Caffeine Addict"!
A very cool alternative venue for folks who want a break from the ubiquitous Newport bar scene. Live music included. Full disclosure, my brother-in-law plays here.

I enjoy Empire, but their prices are a little much for someone on a budget, so I don’t come frequently. A great coffee and tea spot, with plenty of space for studying, chatting with a few friends, or even enjoying time to yourself.

Love this place and this location. I recommend the bubble tea! Hard to find in Rhode Island and comes in a large variety of flavors. Friendly staff and nice environment as well.

Ordered a Fog Horn and Cranberry scone. They were both okay. Would like to check out the other location.

Great selection of tea, good coffee and a friendly staff
