Blue Bridge Brews & Bakery — Restaurant in Newport

The first time I came here alone and it was a couple of years ago. They had messed up my sugar free drink and I had stomach pains for half the day after. Recently, I came back through with my boyfriend on my way to an event. We got casserole, sausage bread (?), and kolach. The casserole was the same as the sausage bread but with cheese. It was weird and felt mislabeled. The sausage bread was dry and not very appetizing. The kolach was sad as it had the thinnest sheet of pastry dough I've ever seen on one, to the point it was crispy. We got two drinks, a sugar free caramel latte and an energy drink mixer. The energy drink was okay but the latte couldn't be finished. It tasted like straight Stevia. If there was caramel flavor, it was the essence of it. I think this store could improve by reworking their food menu and sugar-free...

My wife and I love seeking out little coffee shops when we travel, and were excited to find this place. We looked forward to some afternoon iced coffee and some bakery goods. The inside part of this place was closed, only drive thru. So ordering any bakery goods we can't see was off the table. My wife's coffee was not at all what she ordered. Her hazelnut coffee was half filled with chocolate syrup and looked more like a sundae. It was completely undrinkable. I had a simple iced coffee, just coffee with some half n' half. Yet somehow mine was sweet and sugary. Both of our drinks went right in the trash. $16 down the drain. Yeah this place is outrageously overpriced too. I will say the barista was really nice and friendly, but apparently had no idea what she was doing. I definitely would not return...

The girls that helped me were SO nice, true southern belles. The coffee house was very cute on the inside. The pastries looked amazing and home made. It was too early for cookies and cupcakes for me when I was there but I definitely saved this place to stop at next time I'm in the area (passing through from Houston) like please, open one in North Houston! The blended iced coffee/frappuccino was delicious too. Far better than Starbucks. I wish I could sample more flavors. I'm so glad to see there are local run coffee places in a world of chain restaurants....
