Locally owned- the best french bakery & always a line! Coffee, croissants and insane sandwiches.
Best fish tacos, burritos, sushi and fresh poke in Newport! There are a couple locations - the one on the Newport Peninsula (Lido) or Crystal Cove - it's become pretty famous in Newport and we highly recommend heading here for lunch!
Our #1 favorite spot for a special occasion! There are two locations: we prefer the original A on West Coast Highway, but the Crystal Cove location may be better for large groups. The Original A is old school, steakhouse vibes - the best martinis and steaks in town! The Crystal Cove has a slightly different menu with pizzas and many things to share!
Balboa Island is a gem whether you drive, walk, bike or even take the Balboa Island Ferry! Marine Avenue is filled with shops and local eateries- great for a walk! Grab a coffee & walk the entire island (its only about 2 miles and beautiful on the water). Grab a drink after at The Village Inn. Or if you're in the mood for something sweet, be sure to get a chocolate dipped Frozen Banana or Balboa Bar at Sugar & Spice! Fun Fact- The Ferrari family has been visiting Balboa Island since before Ray was born. Another Fun fact- Kelly's first job at age 14 was at Sugar & Spice selling Balboa Bars, earning her major points with the Ferrari family!
The best (dive) bar in Newport! Live music and a livelier crowd!
