The Backyard - Newport

Great coffee lovely staff and a good menu. Good place for the kids to run around and for those who want a quiet breakfast there’s a good inside space that isn’t so child friendly.

We visited here recently for a quick lunch and were disappointed. The lunch menu is very limited with almost all options including bread as a main ingredient. The food took a while to come out considering they were not busy. One of our party ordered the “crispy barramundi” and what came out was deep fried and battered and there was more batter than fish. Would be nice to have more healthy options available.

Food was average, coffee was alright. nothing special and the service was also just so so nothing special but decent enough.

I was a regular in here through covid, supporting local business with take away coffees and food. I absolutely loved the staff they had through covid. Last week I visited and ordered a bacon and tomato toastie and a large oat latte. It cost me $25.17, apparently i ordered bacon as “an extra”........ and the cost was $5.00 extra?? Extra on what?? Tomato?? I would hate to think what a tomato toastie costs on its own. The young lady that is now taking orders is rude and needs to learn some manners. Really disappointed, now I won’t go back.

It has been some time since I had a jaffle and I did not want to pass up the opportunity with so many on offer. I had the baked bean and cheese variety and it was delicious. My coffee was very good as well and the prices for both were reasonable. The service was good and I was brought water without having to ask. There was plenty of space inside and parents took their children out the back, keeping the inside tranquil.
