The food here is really good and locally sourced. Cafe type place. It’s a bit expensive but not outrageously expensive.

A nice enough spot to relax. Not quite comparable to other coffee shops in the East Bay though for ambience. It was a bit dark inside. The pesto fried chicken sandwich was amazing 10/10 and the mango lemonade was superb. Probably some of the best lemonade I’ve ever had. They mentioned they use Natalie’s so it’s not made in house though. I don’t mind. It’s definitely the best coffee shop in Barrington right now. A lot of the food items had Avocado which I am allergic to, which isn’t a knock against them. If you don’t like avocado they do have other options. They had high chairs and a tiny bathroom so no room for a diaper change. Staff weren’t very friendly but I didn’t mind. Will return for the delicious food!
Dietary restrictions: Avocado allergies beware.

Worst experience. We were there with my whole family, a group of 10, we came from Florida, we have an special family event, a wedding today so we’re there having a brunch all together and I’m vegan so my whole family were eating and I was with my food and Deverly came to the table making bad faces with body gestures, like she did not wanted me and my husband there. Not saying anything, making us uncomfortable and unwelcome, I said what’s going on? And she said that I was not allowed to bring food from another places and I explained to her that I’m vegan and she was making gestures and her body language was so obvious and looking at us with the hostess so we left. I understand there’s policies but there’s ways to say it. We will never return.

All it takes is one bad experience right? I guess I can now check this off the list- landmark in Newport. Outside seating, which was nice (despite the rainy day). That’s where it ends. Lady luster menu at best. Orders wrong at our table, food delivery person (child) eye rolls. One person didn’t get order until we were done. Waitress didn’t return until end of meal so couldn’t do anything about my cold watery omelette without cheese but with vinegar in it (yep, vinegar). So I ate tater tots and bacon then went somewhere else to order food after brunch ? One and done for me. I don’t recommend nor understand the appeal of the place at all. Lots of other cool spots in Newport to try.

Fine dining mixed with casual cafe. The price point matches this, but I don't mind paying for the slow down atmosphere and pleasant employees. It's my ideal place to be.

Great small cafe with soups, sandwiches, and salads. Also sells fresh bread and local products! Breakfast all day and terrific coffee and tea options.

People were super nice. The place was super nice inside and the food was AMAZING!
Lovely coffee shop with a modern interior as well as outside seating. Nice selection of pastry items and good quality sandwiches. Loved my Americano and chocolate chip cookie. Highly recommended.

Ive been eating here twice week here for over a year. Food is excellent and fresh. I love how Black Pear gets a lot of its food from local farms too. All the staff are very sweet.

Tried this place once before and enjoyed my coffee and breakfast sandwich. Not so this time. My French toast was nearly all black on the bottom. The mocha was good but my quick breakfast that I couldn't finish was $19… Pricey. Atmosphere is cute, small bakery, and items sold from local vendors. I was looking over some of the food items as I was waiting for my breakfast and all of the jars of pickles from a local seller were past the expiration date. If you visit this restaurant check the dates on any food you may purchase.

A great little cafe. A variety of foods. Well prepared. I had the Pulled Pork, that days special, it was well prepared, and delicious.
