Corner Café

"You’ll know you’ve found the Corner Cafe by the crowd milling about on the sidewalk from 7am until around two. 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 good, like ovos acores, a Portuguese twist on eggs benedict, blue corn breakfast tacos, or any of their sandwiches or wraps. 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. It’s also a good, easier-to-get-into dinner option Thursday through Sunday, when they serve the entire daytime menu, plus deeply comforting dinner specials and some excellent pizza. " - danielle rose
