The First Sip of Home: A Story of Stormy Café
In the quiet hour before the city truly wakes, when the morning light paints the Hudson River in streaks of gold and the only sounds are the distant hum …
I just moved to Newport from Downtown Manhattan, so I'm trying out places around the area. I grew up a block away from Philadelphia and have always been a foodie. When I leave reviews I'm 100% honest because I genuinely like the place and want them to make some improvements. I usually don't order off apps and prefer going to the store when it's my first time buying. Here is my detailed review for Stormy Cafe:
For the Rose Matcha Latte and Blueberry Matcha Latte, I adore how there an option to change the milk but some of the drinks on DoorDash don't have the flavor change option. When it comes to the flavors I can tell they're syrups which I'm not a huge fan of, therefore I suggest that Stormy Cafe should make purées for the fruity drinks as it would taste more natural than artificial. I love whatever matcha brand they used as you can tell it's a darker green which means the grade of matcha is 3 times better than other cafes and standard places like Dunkin and Starbucks (imo are disgusting). The way the barista blended and brewed it was perfection, the creaminess, freshness, and quality of the matcha is top tier. As a matcha enthusiast who's tried 50+ places, I'd rate Stomy Cafe's Matcha a 7/10 or 3.5 stars.
Additionally, I ordered The Classic Egg & Cheese which I have mixed feelings for. I love that I didn't see pork on the options for this (since it's a very low quality meat) but I added turkey bacon over the beef but whichever brand or cut they used was very thin and not that flavorful. I liked the brioche bun, but think that the ratio from protein to carbohydrates was overpowering. I'm thinking they used 1-2 eggs and suggest they'd put 3-4 and have the option to scramble. As someone who's sensitive to lactose and gluten sensitive (not allergic but if I'm craving it it better be 10/10) the cheese and bread was pretty good but think the cafe could add more options like Munster, Swiss, cheddar, spinach, wheat wraps, bagel, gluten/lactose free, etc. to the menu ;)
Overall, I looked at the cafe on Google Maps, saw the atmosphere, see that it's beautifully aesthetic + laptop friendly, and would love to give this place another shot in person within the future. I appreciate the packaging and in comparison to other places the prices are solid and the beverage portions are great; appreciate how they're generous on giving more drink than ice. I hope the merchant and future customers find this review helpfullll!

Tuna melt was not soggy when it arrived and was nice bread. Not cheap white bread. tuna had a very nice taste.
Love the way everything was packaged! Love that the lemonade came in a separate little bag so that the condensation didn't get on to other food. Fries were crispy, not soggy. only issue with the fries was lack of salt.
Love that the store called me to see if I wanted something else because they did not have quiche left. The only thing that was remotely disappointing, was the brownie was more sugar tasting than chocolate tasting.

The Chicken Cutlet is not chicken cutlet. It's a restaurant depot quality chicken tender soaked in chipotle mayo. The Turkey Avocado Club had no flavor whatsoever and had the thinnest layer of avocado. Would not order again.

Everything here is made with care and attention to detail. Highly recommended The B.A.C and The Breakfast Burrito.
The Butter Cookie Cloud Latte and the Pistachio Latte are delicious!

The Stormy Stingeris fresh, flavorful, and fulfilling. This my 3rd time ordering from this store, but it won't be the last time
