About Pavilions Bakery

Pavilions Bakery is a grocery store located right next to the beach in Newport, appealing to the neighborhood crowd of Via Lido. It makes a stay near the beach incredibly convenient. The store is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and tidy, operating as expected from a successful major grocer despite seasonal beach traffic. It has a nice selection of meats and seafood, a pretty good selection of products, and all the liquor, but doesn't have a large selection of everything. The fruits are very limited, as are the fresh herbs and smaller cheaper cuts of meat.

The bakery is a highlight, with goodies that make visitors wish they could pack the car. Specific items include a fruit tart with fresh fruit and a soft, buttery tart shell; a surprisingly creamy lemon tart with a nice lemon flavor; and a super rich and creamy cheesecake drizzled in chocolate. The fried chicken from the deli is also super delicious. Prices are noted as a bit higher than other stores, with some finding great prices and solid, competitive rates, while others hope for lower prices, citing expensive bananas.

The staff is always nice, friendly, and helpful, with management providing A+ service and unequivocally resolving issues. The store is frequented for its proximity and convenience, perfect for last-minute items or a quick treat, functioning as a weekly store for many.
