We serve their coffee to our guests and many of our guests ask if they can take some home. You can get both whole or ground coffee beans there along with a french press to make the coffee you are served there. In the afternoon and evening go to their ice cream shop Syrens which shares their courtyard. On hot days, try their Lebaneses lemonade with Mint. Mmmmmm

Great small plates menu with delicious home made cocktails, my favorite is the dark and stormy with home made Ginger beer, and their sangria cannot be beat. Make sure to check out their pop up menu with cool and interesting dishes like a Louisiana Crawfish Boil....

Sightseeing

The Elms is a short block away and has one of the most enlightening tours because you can see how the 'help' lived in contrast to the 'family' and guests. It can be nice to stroll through their gardens on the way to/from the Cliff Walk. The servants quarters tour is really enlightening, they got the unflattering views of the statuary along the top of the mansion which reinforced their station in their lives as servants and caretakers.

Parks & Nature

Depending on the time of year you may see deer, coyotes, foxes, ospreys, many species of owls and seabirds. Great place for a walk and to see the coastline from this former WW 2 bunker location protecting approaches to the Mt. Hope and Narragansett Bay and Fall River, now a nature preserve.

This is one of my favorite places for a stroll of bike ride and the home to so many special events like the world renowned Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals which brought me to Newport . There are events there most weekends from sailing events to auto shows, food festivals and historic reenactments of life at the fort. We can help arrange a water shuttle ride to the fort weather and schedule permitting.
