Annie’s Best Breakfast: A Gem with History and Heart
What a treat this place is! Laurie, our waitress, was a total ray of sunshine—so enthusiastic and genuinely excited about the menu that I couldn’t resist trying everything she suggested. The hot, fresh croissants? Absolute heaven. They practically melted in my mouth. The fresh-squeezed juice was crisp and bright, the egg white Greek omelette was light and full of flavor, and even the coffee was perfection—smooth, rich, not a hint of bitterness.
What makes this spot extra special is its history. Annie, the owner, is named after Annie Moore—the first Irish immigrant to sign the book at Ellis Island. There’s a sense of heritage and pride here that you can feel the moment you walk in.
Between the warm service, delicious food, and a story worth remembering, Annie’s Best Breakfast really does live up to its name. Five stars without question!

fantastic breakfast I discovered this place by chance from the outside it doesn’t stand out but when you open the door you are transported back in time, bar counter with fixed seats from the 60s a small place to have an American breakfast without timetables, smiling and kind staff honest food simple and good as it should be soft pancakes and smell of butter as it should be fair prices I can’t wait to go back

Great food and incredibly affordable considering the wealth and taste of Newport. My cousin and I both enjoyed breakfast later in the day, and everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our only issue with the restaurant was how the main wait staff spoke to our waitress. Our waitress was very sweet but young and the older staff seemed to overcorrect, over explain, and use disrespectful language towards her. While we sat in there, we heard and watched the older staff members accept her being spoken to in a disrespectful way for something extremely minor and used disrespectful language toward the waitress. Just because she is new or young, doesn’t mean you have to be mean! We enjoyed the experience overall, but the service was strange to encounter in such a friendly city.

Went here for breakfast and it delicious. Prices were good. My server was so friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Western omelette was really good. Free refills on coffee. Would definitely come back.

Louisa was awesome! Taking care of a full dining room by herself. My omelette was good. My husbands crows nest Benedict was very very wet and the eggs were underdone. We got a lemon poppyseed muffin and Louisa recommended having it griddled, and it was quite good.

Great place to have your breakfast! Staff is lovely, I felt like we knew each other for a long time. A tiny place but very comfy.
The food is good and the menu has the classics of a traditional American breakfast.
The difference is with the service for sure. We even decided to have all our breakfasts there.
Although small it wasn’t crowded and the price is fair, not expensive.

Even though I was staying at a local b&b, I decided to go elsewhere for my birthday breakfast. I picked Annie’s since I had seen it had such great reviews. This place is pretty decent as far as diners go. The service was good, even though I kind of agree with several reviewers that the server lacked some enthusiasm. They have standard menu items at a reasonable cost, and the food came out fast. I ordered the Caramel Banana French Toast, and I got a nice sized portion for my monies worth, and the side of bacon was perfectly cooked and not too salty. They also make a pretty good cup of coffee as well. The overall appearance of the restaurant needs a bit of work, but otherwise, it is clean. In my opinion, this is one of the better diners I have been to while traveling out of state, and I would stop in again the next time I am in the area.

We stopped in Annie’s for breakfast. It was a no-frills kitchenette vibe. It was decorated for Christmas which was really pretty! We were seated pretty quickly and discovered that we came at a good time because it fills up quickly! I ordered the Huevos Ranchos which was really good! My husband got the western omelette with home fries and a side of corned beef hash. The only complaint my husband had was that the home fries came out cold which was unexpected given the amount of customer turnover! The food was good and service was good. There is really only one waitress today taking orders and she was doing a great job to really personalize the experience for everyone so the service was great. They might want to consider bringing someone in on the weekends to help with the rush! Overall, highly recommend a visit here. And try the orange juice! It’s refreshing!

The food is your standard breakfast fair. The breakfast potatoes need some work as far as seasoning goes. Other than that, this is a great place! The wait staff was amazing, the chefs in the kitchen were making us laugh with their commentary. Great atmosphere!
