Newberry Bros. Coffee — Restaurant in Newport

4 years ago, I received a “Cease & Desist” from the owner of this business when I created the Hungry Bros. Food Truck brand. He, absurdly, claimed we hijacked his bourbon/coffee/croissant (actually asked me if we had croissants) concept for a mobile food truck concept named Hungry Bros.

Candidly, my brother (who I’ve snacked with my entire life) and i responded informing this former-lawyer turned bar owner that we independently hired a freelance designer to create the Hungry Bros. brand. In short, the case never made it to the court system (probably because this retired lawyer’s case was completely unsubstantiated and he realized he didn’t have legalese corroborating his accusations).

While enjoying two $25 pours of Weller 12, Peter Newberry (the bar keep) elected to eject us from his establishment while threataning to contact the police.

My goal, merely, was to inform him that I didn’t find it necessary for him to “hold down” a young and “up-and-coming” food truck owner opening a brand named Hungry Bros. Food Truck.

My opinion: DO NOT SUPPORT...

Kim & Peter are some of the best humans we know. They have built an incredible establishment that feels like home and where they welcome absolutely everyone with open arms, as if you've been best friends for years. They are so incredibly knowledgeable, and have taught me so much about Bourbon! We had to move to St. Louis for two years, but we're back now, and being close to Newberry's is one of the biggest reasons we're excited to be back in the area. Their Third Sundays are especially fun with yummy pastries, boozy coffee, wonderful company, and all supporting the local rescue, SAAP. What more...

What nice little shop. I stopped in for just a simple coffee and was drawn right away to the friendly vibe! Needless to say the coffee was absolutely perfect. Much to my surprise I also found that they have a first rate fully stocked bar as well. The also have outdoor seating should you wish to watch the sun fade. The inside has a very cool trendy but old world feel that makes it quite cozy. Although it might have been the warm and genuine greeting from the person that took my order and brought that great cup of coffee almost instantaneously! I will be back and you should stop in as well! As...
