Tucked away little diner in Newport, off the beaten path. Delicious omelettes loaded with veggies and the freshest Portuguese sweet bread you can imagine! Was happy to speak with the owner who was also from
CT. Shout out from the Nutmeg state- keep up the good work!

Food was good – not great. We were told there was a 20-30 min wait but it was actually an hour and 10 min. When we were seated we ordered ice coffees and chocolate milk – the iced coffee had almost no flavor. After 3 creams and a sugar it tasted like something but still nothing interesting (and we usually drink good coffee black). The server couldn’t take our order for another 15 min because “the kitchen had too many orders.” We were kind but definitely feeling hangry at this point. When our food finally came we’d been there for more than 2 hours. We had nothing to drink for quite a while – and no one to tree from until food was dropped off. No one came back to see if the food was alright. We also had to get up to get napkins from the server station. We’d never go there again, not because the food was bad, but because the overall experience was unacceptable.

Simply THE BEST breakfast spot in all of Newport! Been going here for now almost 15 years every time the Navy sends me back for more school. The eggs are always perfect, the avo toast is excellent and my father-in-law said the corned beef hash is better than what he gets in the south! They open at 6 am and there’s usually a line by 9 on weekends so get there early, you won’t be disappointed.

Franklin Spa in Franklin Spa is a classic no frills diner that feels like it has been doing things the same way for a long time and that is exactly the point. It is small cozy and full of character the kind of place where you can picture locals grabbing breakfast before the day gets going.
The menu sticks to diner staples and does them well. Nothing fancy just solid comforting food that shows up hot and exactly how you expect it. It is the kind of breakfast that makes you happy you did not overthink where to eat.
Service is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere feels familiar even if it is your first visit. You sit down order and eat without any rush or attitude which is refreshing.
Franklin Spa is not trying to impress anyone and does not need to. It is a dependable Newport breakfast spot that delivers good food a relaxed vibe and a little slice of old school charm.

Classic New England diner with se updated touches. The chef and staff were super friendly. Plan how to park ahead of time, but don’t let this sway you, it’s part of the fun when coming to Franklin Spa.

Franklin Spa is a long time breakfast and lunch place in Newport Rhode Island. It’s a locals favorite. Just a block off on the craziness of America’s Cup Ave, on Spring, this is an easy place to walk to from the harbor. The food is not fancy or expensive but it’s very good. The staff is phenomenal and the owners are there working the grill and visiting with customers. Breakfasts on the weekend can result in a line at the door but it generally moves quick. One of my favorite places in Newport.

This was our first time having breakfast at the Franklin Spa! The food was very good! Everything was cooked just right ! The French toast, eggs, omelets and fresh breads were so delicious…the music was good as well as the atmosphere and staff! We met Brittany the owner and found out she worked there for 12 years before purchasing the restaurant just goes to show when you love what you do you can taste the difference! We will be back for sure! Steph and Jeff
