first impression: good atmosphere, attentive staff, one even asked me how i liked my chai and it was delicious so he showed me the powdered oregon chai they use and told me where to find it at cash n carry. i stopped in to pick some up and read the ingredients, it has milk in it. i had ordered myself and my mom two chai lattes with almond milk. i even asked the waiter what milk alternative they had and specified almond milk. i phoned back to the restaurant to make them aware that they are serving a milk product to people that request milk alternative and the employee was not even slightly interested in this information and seemed annoyed i even called. when i asked him if that was all he had to say, he told me to call back after 3pm and speak to a manager. they close at 3pm. needless to say, i won't be going back and i spend a fair amount of time in newport, since i have family living there. i also write reviews on eating establishments for the local paper. it was my day off while in there but i think i will give this review as a freebie. beware: if you have a milk allergy, cafe stephanie does not alert customers that they serve milk products to customers who request a milk alternative.
