We travel to Newport every year, and have always enjoyed going to the Franklin Spa, it is small, cozy atmosphere, prices are reasonable. However last year they were closed when we were there, so we just got back today, our last day in Newport I had to go to the Franklin for breakfast. Sad to say I was so disappointed. There was one poor gal working all by herself cooking, cleaning up & serving the meals, my heart went out to her. My breakfast was cold, I left half of it, my husband's was warm to cold 21.00 + tip, it sure was a disappointment. A family of 7 came in after us sat at the counter, a work crew of 4 came in after us, all were served before us, we had a ferry to catch so our last day in Newport was a big disappointment. I hope they are able to hire some help, because if they keep up like this, they'll be out of business soon. Good luck to the Franklin Spa, sincerely hope you take this review as constructive criticism, because it use to be a gold mine. Best wishes

My family and I vacation in Newport, Rhode Island each year. We enjoy breakfasts together during our trips and so we have tried several restaurants in the past, including the Franklin Spa. During our our visit this past week we noticed that the menu was different and there was a different vibe to the location. My suspicions were correct as we met Nick and Brittany, the new proprietors!! The food was great, lots of options and at a fair price. We enjoyed our breakfast so much that we returned the following morning to enjoy our last breakfast before returning to Philadelphia. If you are in Newport and in search of a place for Breakfast, I highly recommend the Franklin Spa. We look forward to returning in the future.

Went to Franklin Spa this morning with my baby. They were extremely accommodating and gave us a great booth away from the main path for travel. My little one usually gets over stimulated so I appreciated them finding us a quiet spot. I ordered the blueberry stuffed French toast and it was amazing!! After taking the first bite, I regretted planning to share it with my little one. It's just so good that you really don't want to share! I also ordered the corned beef hash. It was a new item menu and it was delightful! You could tell it was homemade and made right. Specifically, it was crisp on the outside, moist meat and potatoes on the inside, and not greasy. I really wish I ordered some to-go. Lastly, I ordered the "Go Green" smoothie which is spinach, celery, pineapple & apple juice. It was very refreshing and not too heavy so I was able to enjoy it alongside my meal. Overall, it was a great experience with friendly staff and fresh food.

THRILLED we found this place! Family with 2 kids (7yrs old twins). All the food was fresh and delicious! They went above and beyond in every aspect - and that goes a long way when dining with kids! : )We had to grab our smoothie blends to go (heading to PC basketball game) and they even sent us home with coffee (bottomless) to go! Our new breakfast spot in Newport!

Wife and I spent the weekend in Newport. On the suggestion of a hotel staff member we decided to give this little place a try. A short walk from town this lplace was perfect for a delicious diner style breakfast on a cold winter morning. Its cozy. Always a wait but worth it. The service was friendly and fast. The coffee was hot. The meal was what I expected. Hash. Eggs. Pancakes. Omelets..an home made cinnamon rolls. Go!

We have been coming here for years. The food is always amazing, pancakes are extremely fluffy. I highly recommend the stuffed French toast, I got it with extra whipped cream. Service was very attentive, they came around asking if we wanted coffee around five times. We love this place.
