Panini Bakery — Restaurant in Newport

Usually we enjoy Panini’s roasted eggplant pizza. Today we ordered 2 hours before close and got an almost raw pizza. I shouldn’t have to re-bake my pizza when I get home. I only have a 9” pan to cook this raw lump of dough on, and what’s more insulting is that I pay y’all to cook my pizza. Otherwise I’d go to Papa Murphy’s. Do I have to figure out who is on shift before I order?

Generally good, but today very much bad. Hope this isn’t a trend.

Edit: finally cooked our pizza to a semi-edible state. Sauce distribution is horrible, not as much eggplant, and I could have bought a Totinono’s and been happier. Reign in your B team, Panini’s. They clearly need more training.

This is truly a hidden gem. It is a one man operation so it makes sense it opens at 10 am. He bakes and takes care of customers. The bakery is tiny, but everything smells soooo good. I would have taken the three cheese sourdough in an instant if I wasn’t traveling. The apricot danish was too notch and the house brewed, was good. They also have slices of pizza and smoothies. If I lived here, I would be there at least twice per week. Great small place to enjoy some coffee and a pastry, this is a true cafe. I will make it back just so I can come back to but the sourdough, that is how good this place is. Also prices are reasonable, racially compared to the other...

Stopped on a whim on my way down the coast, had an amazing piece of pizza and a cinnamon roll. Had to stop by on the way back up, had more good pizza and few danishes, one of which I'm eating right now the next day. It will be a regular stop in the future.

This is my favorite kind of bakery: rustic and hearty, and when I see the space I know how it's going to taste. For any reviews that have complained about cleanliness, it's an old wooden building where all spaces are used for production. Everything was clean, from the front area, to food display, to the restroom - things are just packed in...
