A
Julian’s
A messy combination of neon, exposed brick and ductwork, come here for tattooed cooks preparing a stellar brunch (served until 5pm) with changing blackboard specials (goat cheese, caper, tomato and mushroom hash) along with several benedicts and lots of vegan options. The dinner menu offers seared yellowfin, small sides and alcohol.

Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant
This centrally located, ever-popular place has a huge menu of snacks, sandwiches, bar food, Mexican specialties and a salad bar, as well as Newport’s most elaborate drinks list. A large patio holds many yellow umbrellas and brightly colored Adirondack chairs. The pub is not a chain, but it feels like one.

Aloha Café
Inside the old brick Seaman’s Church Institute, locals and fishermen sit at one of a few tables or at the bar to enjoy dirt cheap coffee, eggs, meatball sandwiches, BLTs and soup. The wood-paneled room has a map mural of Narragansett Bay from the 1930s with iconographic rabbits and whales.

Coffee Exchange
Drink very strong coffee at one of many small tables covering a scratched wooden floor. Nearby, thick layers of flyers are tacked onto boards and a large roaster lurks behind cases displaying the 40 kinds of beans available. In warm weather, take your brew on an open-air deck.

Coffee Grinders
Enjoy espresso and a pastry on some benches at this small shingled shack at the end of Banisters Wharf. You’ll be surrounded by water, with great views over yacht activity and crustaceans being unloaded at the Aquidneck Lobster Company.

Meeting Street Café
For thick sandwiches, tasty shish kabob and luscious desserts head to this perky café near Brown University. The meats are hormone-free, the veggies fresh and the servings so big that most everything feeds two.

Franklin Spa
This old-school joint slings hash, eggs and grease for cheap. Enjoy your freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade turkey noodle soup or coffee cabinet at a Formica-topped table on a worn white-and-red tiled floor.
