Corner Cafe

You’ll know you’ve found the Corner Cafe by the crowd milling about on the sidewalk from 7am onward. In addition to the influx of tourists, this is where you’ll find locals meeting with friends for a weekday brunch over fresh-squeezed BYOB mimosas, chatting at the counter about a recent article in Newport This Week, or fueling visiting relatives for the 3.5-mile cliff walk. Everything here is going to be good, like ovos acores, a Portuguese twist on eggs benedict, french toast stuffed with Canadian bacon, apples, raisins, and swiss, and blue corn breakfast tacos. They don’t take reservations, so if you pass by and don’t see a line, take it as a sign to get some brunch.
