I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACECanyon Way is a very interesting and entertaining bookstore. They offer a wide variety of books including childrens literature, of course, but also have a delightful selection of beautiful jewelry, some clothing as well as great gift items for others including yourself.When their restaurant is finally reopened it will be wonderful to have lunch there. The French onion soup and sandwiches are great and their crispy, house made thin onion rings and strings are fabulous.Our family visited there a few days ago and we all purchased fun and memorable items.Make it a destination when you visit Newport or stop by if youre a local and enjoy the fun and funky atmosphere. There are chairs to relax in and there is no pressure. Informative and witty management add to the enjoyment.

Dont realize how big it is. So much to see. I was restricted by time this visit but will go back to explore. Books can be new or used. Besides books I did see clothes, socks and gifts. I really didnt see even a fourth of the room/building an am looking forward to returning to explore what else there is to find.Parking is on the street or is easy walk from bay front.Didnt see if had public restrooms.Not exactly good for young children as most items are for older children and adults.

The food here is awesome! The clam chowder and fish and chips are probably the best Ive ever had. The clam chowder has so much flavor you dont need to add anything more. The service here is super friendly and attentive.

If they havent the book, theyll get it and youll be happy to browse.

Store has strange mixed up sections of books, nick nacks, some clothing. Not impressed.

There closing...So wasnt impressed.

They have a great selection of books.

Cute little bookstore that has been here apparently since 1971! Roguey, the nice old lady who owns the store, was adorable and so kind as to offer us an Americano on the house 😭❤️ next time we will have to try the food!

I love this place. The bookstore is eclectic and has a great selection. THe food in the restaurant never disappoints.

Like a time machine. It is a must visit ...

Cute little book store with top selections and some souvenirs

Dont miss this gem! Thankfully my book loving son wanted to visit a bookstore on our visit to Newport. A quick search brought up Canyon Way Bookstore. Not only did he find a great book (and I found some cool jewelry and gifts for family) but we found THE BEST clam chowder and French onion soup weve ever had! Seriously amazing food and a fun shop to boot. Have fun exploring.

Nice atmosphere great folks

Excellent food and drinks in an awesome bookstore with quality live music events. Be sure to make a reservation if you want to go see music - it tends to fill up. Great diversity of books and nice childrens area. Also, 21+ only bar area if you want to be isolated.

Happened to stop by this tiny treasure. Its AMAZING! wonderful staff and even better food. The patio is like a secret garden. 10x better than your main stream places. MUST GO!

Just had the most wonderful french onion soup that just made my number one list. So much for so little. I as a classic trained chef would find it hard to top. A must stop. Don

The best French onion soup in the world!!!. Wonderful book store, all the staff very knowledgable and friendly. If you have not tried it, youre really missing out

Looking for childrens books for Christmas. Incredible selection of award-winning books by celebrated authors and illustrators. Always an amazing selection and a helpful staff.

For years this has been a place of comfort! you can find the very best soups and salads, not to mention the fabulous main dishes. A must on any trip to Newport.

Great place for a quiet drink, dinner. Homemade bread and pasta to die for. Cheesecake is the best ever and Barbara is delightful!

This is best soup Ive ever had. My husband didnt know you could make onions taste like that.

Nifty shop w/an unexpected array of cool stuff. Live blues group playing in the restaurant side of the establishment.

Awesome food. Best french onion soup ever. Bookstore is great too.

AMAZING restaurant, and the bookstore is a lot of fun too.

Excellent food, and live music on Friday. Many Fridays host local bands. Great little selection of books for both adults and children. Wlking distance from the Newport bay front.

What a GEM of a place!!!! I am so glad there was no parking down on the water. Great books, cozy comfy place to hang out and rad and eat. The owner is an Angel

Great menu and high quality goods. The books are nice too. Get that French onion soup!

They were so kind, food was delish

A Newport classic. If theres music, make sure to make it that night. Foods good, the bookstore and chachki is good. The cocktails are huge and delicious.

Wonderful atmosphere, great food. Great book and gifts.

A fun and stimulating shop chocked full of books, womens clothing, baubles and bangles, music, delicious food and more. Definitely a place to visit when in Newport.

A little of everything in this unique gift shop along with the smell of cooking pizza! Enjoy myself there a lot.

Not only is the bookstore terrific but the food and service are fantastic. Meatballs are off the charts.

I can spend hours in this maze of books. Warm, cozy place to spend a cold rainy afternoon.

Wonderful people, so nice and helpful.

Delicious food, friendly staff! We had a great time!

The fettuccine is out of this world. Good food. Great book store

Lovely bookstore-restaurant combo. Very friendly and eclectic.

Love love love this place... A Newport secret not so secret.

Everything housemade. Local seafood used. Bread from in house, etc.

Good selection of books and other fun items for a sleepy beach time read or lazy day at the beach.

Excellent food great prices friendly staff !

Friendly. Delicious food - made special for gluten sensitivity.

Unique Beatnik bookstore and restaurant lost in Time....

The restaurant is closed, but the bookstore is open weekdays from 11:00-3:30

We love, love, loved it! A little bit hidden, but well worth the search -- everything is bursting with freshness and FULL of flavor. From the focaccia and sourdough breads with compound butters which we received with our menus, to the sweet, crisp baby greens on the salad (with the best bleu cheese dressing Ive ever tasted), to the incredible cream of garlic soup, to the decadent demi-glace on my sandwich and the sautéed vegetables on my companions, everything -- EVERYthing -- was made in-house, and was incredible!

Been coming here for years and it never fails to impress me!

The best French Onion soup ever!

This place has tons of fascinating books, great selection of jigsaw puzzles, cool jewelry, you name it. I wish wed had time to experience the restaurant and live music.
