Went inside and asked for something super chocolatey, whatever I received literally was straight black coffee on ice... I would recommend making sure your server understands what you are looking for before placing order.

I have been a Starbucks drinker for years and usually cant stand private coffee shops. I stopped off here because I needed coffee and I couldnt believe how good it tasted. I would drop Starbucks in a minute if this coffee shop was near me. Everyone in my family was laughing because they have never heard me say that. I will definitely be back when visiting Newport.

I have been drinking Stay Positive for 10+ years. Quite honestly, it is the best coffee I have ever had, no bitterness at all just smooth and bold. Now that I live in Central Oregon, I either pay a visit to the Coast or order online to keep my coffee on hand. I have tried many other brands over the years, but I ALWAYS come back to Stay Positive!

Been looking for a good cup of coffee on the coast and I finally found it here. Their decaf latte is a well balanced drink.

Good coffee, average prices. Staff was friendly. Would go again.

Their coffees are awesome, I love the latte, this is the only place that I will order one.

Great Local coffee shop in Newport! Fresh roasted coffee and excellent customer service. Had a double espresso shot, Hot Chocolate, couple Mochas and a Mexican Mocha. All were amazing. Walked out with a pound of freshly roasted single source fair trade Peruvian Italian Roast. Will come back next time we are in town for sure!!!

Best coffee on the coast! Super knowledgeable folks. Roast their own beans. Great shop. Amazing coffee and, rad merch! Always a MUST when in Newport.

I came to this shop to get some coffee before going on a marine discovery tour and there was only one barista and he took forever with each cup. i almost didnt get my drink in time for the boat to depart, and my husband almost offered to jump in and help the guy brew drinks because he was literally doing one thing at a time (my husband was a barista for several years). my husband also said the beans were extremely burnt so he didnt get to enjoy his drink much at all. i dont recommend getting anything at this place unless you have time to wait for this one guy to make one drink at a time and not get anything out in a timely manner.

We love Rustys coffee and his outgoing personality!

Still good prices are going up tho.

Went there while I was camping at South Beach State Park.... I prefer putting money directly into the community so I look for local coffee ( which isnt too hard up here) . I went in and just so happens the roaster was there and man he gave me some explanations that went over my head but I got the gist. I drink decaf (anxiety issues) and he explained that they use beans that are filtered through the Swiss water process... No chemicals and almost zero caffeine... I will tell you, it isnt as dark as Id prefer so I ordered 3 extra shots (its decaf-why not?) And man it was so smooth... Almost creamy... Really nice stuff. I give them a 4 cause it isnt a dark a I prefer.

The oatmlk latte I had was bursting with flavor..you could really taste the quality..

Firstly, despite the winter temperatures, Surf Town had their roll-up garage door open, which is very considerate during the Covid pandemic.The barista was very friendly and accommodated my wifes request for a piece of fruit with a banana they would usually use to make smoothies. We ordered a Mexican mocha and dirty chai, which were so satisfying to drink on a winter morning.Lastly, we decided to buy a bag of coffee to take home. When the roast master overheard us, he said he had just finished roasting a batch and went to the back of the shop to get us a bag of the fresh stuff!We had a very positive experience here and hope to come back the next time were in Newport.

The best coffee on the Oregon coast with a positive message that adds to the experience.

Best Christian crack coffee I have ever had. I love you guys ❤️ will drink this coffee as long as I live. Mail order available too.

Loved the place. But when i first went in I had my doubts- seemed so simple and I just wandered in under the espresso sign. But then I listened to the coffee crafter (pictured in the photo I just posted) telling each customer the heated degrees and how each cup was prepared. It was entertaining while I waited for my simple nonfat latte- then I got my turn and tasted what the friendly and experienced coffee creator delivered. All worth the short wait. Don’t let the simple exterior/interior fool you. Have your coffee fix here.

Staff is great and amazing food! I had the albacore tuna fish and chips and it was to die for!

It was a good coffee shop. Some assorted tasty treats as well. The talkative guy behind the counter is very friendly, dont be scared off because of it.

Im a Portlander that was out towards Newport and walked by this little shop. I headed in, and the staff were so kind and relaxed, greeting me and not pressuring me to order whatsoever. The coffee I got was some of the best tasting and smoothest I have ever had, so much so that I returned the next day for more and bought their beans. This is a wonderful business that has excellent customer service as well as delicious coffee. Stop in! You wont regret it!

We vacation to the oregon coast annually and always make sure to stop here, get coffee, and chat with the employees they are always very professional and friendly. More than happy to answer any tourist questions and will also tell you all the best spots to eat that you had no idea were around. Love surf town

Very friend staff and delicious drinks! The shop is also decorated awesome! Plus there is a gift shop that you can walk into and look while you wait!

Cofee is amazing! The guy there was really cool n told about the nice spots to eat and the spots to stay away from

My son and I stopped in for a hot chocolate after our run and it was great! Some of the best hot chocolate weve ever had. And the guy working was very friendly. Always wanted to stop here and glad we finally did.

The best coffee in Lincoln County! Best cup of coffee because they roast their own beans. Friendly staff and flavor combinations are Devine! Dont leave the coast without purchasing your favorite bean, they have wonderful teas as well.

We are hooked!! Thank you for mail order to Portland!! Cant drink any Other coffee now. Do you mail order the sweatshirts too? Michele

Friendly great coffee they sell chocolate covered coffee beans. Great assortment of teas coffee was perfect

Really good coffee. But the biggest reason for the 5 star rating is service. We arrived exactly at closing and the barista treated us like he was just opening up. He was friendly and engaging. This is my goto coffee shop when I come to town.

The staff working were very polite and the coffee was good. The only issue is they charge a $1 fee for credit card transactions under $10!!! One of the highest fees Ive ever seen a merchant charge before.

Not only is the coffee delicious, but the gentleman that were hand roasting it front of me are super classy. Im glad I drove a 100 miles. WELL DONE!

Better hope the barista approves of what you order, otherwise youll be endlessly berated for it. I have never seen anybody so full of themselves. Coffee was nothing special.

Great coffee! Unique, coastal experience. Micro roasting on property. Small shop with basic menu. Fast, friendly service with knowledgeable experience.

These friendly folks care about the people and planet. AND great coffee :)

Roast seems to be good. The barista didnt know how to properly steam milk for a cappuccino, so I likely wont be heading back.

The coffee is AMAZING! We had the pleaseure of having Russell make our coffee. We were in a group of 12 and the place was packed, he still took the time to explain how the coffee is roasted in small batches and how they do it in house. I talked to him about my business and how we make reusable glass drinking straws and he seemed sincerely interested and so kind. Then it was the best iced white mocha ever! The barista was knowledgeable and excited to tell us everything he could about coffee. Upbeat and happy! He was wonderful! I wasn’t planning on going downtown the 2nd day but we fought the traffic and found a place to park just for this coffee!! It was just as good day two. I live an hour and a half away and have contemplated driving down for coffee lol. We bought the whole bean Italian roast there and have already used the whole bag making coffee at home in our French press. If you have a chance to grab a coffee in Newport 100% worth it! The one barista takes his time and makes each cup perfect. Takes a little extra time but it’s totally worth it!

The barista was either really new (hoping), or ??? Never smiled, took nearly 20 minutes to make 4 drinks (which were wrong).I grew up working on this bayfront and you can’t make tourists happy with this.

We walked in to get a kombucha for my girls and a tap water for my wife who is having some health issues. We also asked about gluten free options and the barista started at us with a blank stare. We finally got him to admit that he had no idea, and tried to pay for the kombucha and water and they tried to charch us a dollar for regular tap water! Then on top of that they tried to charge a surcharge on a debit card purchase for spending under $10.

Best coffee you can get very very tasty fast and friendly I recommend to everyone

Coffee was good & the guy was friendly. However, there was a line & only one person working (this happened to be during the lighted boat parade, so not sure if it was poor planning or someone failed to show), so wait time was long.

Cool local roastery, expressos, beans.

Horrible customer service with a very poorly made drink. Go the the other location down the block instead

Best coffee ever 💚💜💚

This place has coffee as good as stumptown

Fun coffee shop with excellent coffee
