Simple Merchant Coffee

Jade and Kelsey working the shop were very welcoming and they make some delicious coffee! I'll definitely be going back again, might be my new favorite in the Newport area!

Coffee is high quality, service is friendly and cool, entrepreneur passion - love it!

Met the owners wife out in town and she said “check out my husband’s coffee shop”. So the next morning my wife and I headed over.

The owner Jordan good kid. Has a awesome outlook on good coffee. I was nervous about the panini grill cooking. We got the breakfast burrito. I’m here to say don’t be nervous cause that burrito ROCKED!!! and they sell the presentation of the food. Impressed by the hustle and service.
I had a cappuccino and my wife had a americano best two cups of Joe we had in a long time.

I recommend if you’re in Newport to visit take the detour away from the waterfront and sit outside and enjoy the spot. Plenty of parking so no need to worry. It beats sitting in bumper to bumper on Thames St.

Beautifully executed flat white and latte. Velvety milk texture and perfectly pulled espresso shots. Highly recommend for third wave coffee.

This is the only decent coffee on the island. Bar none.

never liked the taste of coffee but the dude who took my order was so fine he made me remember that i’m bisexual. gonna become a coffee drinker now

Friendly barista that made an amazing Americano for me. Great coffee and atmosphere. Only working in the area temporarily, but will try to squeeze in as many visits here as possible.

Best espresso in Rhode Island. Including decaf. Small spot in a converted school now used for small business office space and co-working. Very cool location, amazingness coffee, small intimate spot, and awesome service. Don’t forget the cookies!

I have been a Newport resident for over 10 years and this is the type of business I like to see succeed here. I was walking by and noticed this new espresso bar stand and was met by Jordan the proprietor. He described his coffee and business however as enthusiast he was, the proof was in the pudding. I am more of a brewed coffee guy but the latte he made was awesome, probably the best one I have had in downtown Newport. Highly recommended to enjoy an excellent espresso drink, in a beautiful park overlooking the water.

cheese. they don't sell cheese, but they do have the best coffee in New England
