Summer at the Coffee Grinder
On the very end of Bannister's Wharf, overlooking historic Newport harbor, you'll find the Coffee Grinder, a charming espresso bar and coffee shop. Come by for breakfast or lunch. Stop by after a long day of sightseeing for your afternoon coffee, tea or the famous frozen drinks. Sit on the Wharf's benches or Adirondack chairs on the deck and enjoy the sunset as you watch the many boats glide by. Or stop by for dessert after a night on the town. Authentic Italian espresso drinks and some of the best coffees in Newport are prepared here the proper way. Also served are a variety of light food items, including fresh bagels, muffins and sandwiches. The Coffee Grinder offers quality food, cheerful service, and one of the nicest settings available anywhere. This is a must stop for any visit to Newport.

Just because it’s the middle of Winter doesn’t mean you can’t swing by for a visit. Check out the Shop’s new Facebook page, become a Fan, and share your thoughts. Can’t wait to hear from you, and hope to see you soon.
Congratulations to BMW Oracle Racing Team on winning the America’s Cup. Might the Cup be coming back home to Newport, R.I. ? Can you imagine that?
Come on down Saturday, December 5th for the Bowen’s Wharf Tree Lighting & Open House and the Harbor Lights Parade of Boats and Blessing of Fleet. The tree lighting festivities begin around 4:30 p.m. and the parade of boats happens around 6 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrive by boat (weather permitting). This event is the local favorite for family and friends. Swing by the Coffee Grinder for a Hot Chocolate to keep you warm before Santa arrives.

Winters in Newport can be a bit long (to put it nicely). The harbor empties out as the air gets cold, making it all the more difficult to enjoy what makes Newport one of the best summer destinations around – Narragansett Bay. Luckily, Save the Bay and the Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation’s Seal Watch Cruises offer locals and visitors a great way to get out and explore the Bay’s natural winter habitat. Seal Cruises run from Nov 28 through April 25th, after which the seals head north for summer vacation. Check out this video to see what it’s all about. Who knew?
