It Hurt So Good:…read more The day hath finally come! I could finally try The Nitro Bar. My husband and I previously saw the line prior to entry, and both realized that while we waited for our lunch reservations we could finagle and get our coffees. The trepidation was tremendous. I couldn't wait to finally try these seasonal beverages; all the hype on social media, I knew that it was gonna be worth it. When we finally got to the register, something overcame me. I couldn't just try one drink and my husband wasn't getting anything that I really wanted to try so I made some excuses about allowing my family members to try whatever I get and I ended up choosing the Cookie Whip latte, the Caramelized Banana Matcha latte, and the Red Velvet latte(original choice would have been the toasted coconut latte, but they ran out of the syrup because it was just too good.) In the refrigerator off to the side we noticed that they had chai puddings, banana pudding and overnight oats; so we thought to ourselves what the heck, let's grab a chocolate cherry chai pudding and a banana pudding. Both were good but the banana was something special. Then we heard my name called and we were able to sample the goods. That first sip of the Banana matcha latte, holy shit, my taste buds were elated. I nearly downed half it before realizing I had my other lattes to try. The Cookie Whip.....the hype is real my friend, it's crack. The sweetness yet not overpowering the coffee. The whip....by the time we rejoined my family while still waiting for lunch, the cookie whip had disappeared. I gave my mother the Red Velvet Whip. She tried it...then she tried the matcha and preferred that. I gave her the rest and tried the Red Velvet myself. It was good, the whip had a nice balance of cream cheese however the clear winners were the matcha and cookie whip (I should have known as I rarely go for the actual cupcake, that's on me). Yet I stilled sucked on that shit til that sound occurred again, air slipping through the straw indicating the last remnants. Mind you I'm a tea girlie....I rarely have coffee and I just downed two lattes and half a matcha. I knew my immediate future would be impacted....the reservation at Wally's Weiner's finally was called and I immediately sat down in a daze. I took a deep breath and knew I needed water. As someone who struggles with vasovagel syncope reactions (google it, it's a ride let me tell ya) I knew I couldn't let it get that far. Let's just say I hydrated and used every bathroom I encountered while in Newport. Wrecked my opportunity to enjoy my mother's birthday dinner at White Horse Tavern and prayed to the gods that I didn't go to panic town. So would I go back? Hell ya. Would I recommend all those drinks? Hell ya. However what I will remind my myself is to pace yourself baby. No need to go ham. I can come back. Thank you Nitro Bar for the intense detox, mommy felt a little bloated today.

I'm a huge coffee lover, and I take reviews very seriously when it comes to coffee, so I was a…read morelittle nervous to try Nitro Bar - I wasn't sure if it was just a social media hype or if the coffee would actually be good. Well... I haven't stopped thinking about the Sea Salt Maple Whipped Latte I had there. It was incredible. I literally wanted to go back later the same day for another one. 10/10. Can't wait to make it back to Newport just to grab another latte!

A year later, the opportunity finally came but I was sadly disappointed. We waited about 25 minutes in line which was expected. We tried the caramelized banana latte, whipped cookie butter latte and a chai. The two lattes honestly tasted the same, neither one having any banana or cookie butter flavor, just a generic sweetness to it. The chai was what you'd expect, nothing exceptional. Overall we weren't impressed but I do hope to try other seasonal drinks if I'm ever back in the area

On this beautiful Newport day, I got to meet their lovely staff & laid eyes on their yummy looking pastries.

It was so perfectly baked with the perfect amount of apples and not too sweet. My friend had the Egg Basket (phone did not eat first) which was a 5/5 review for her and the Oatmeal Raisin cookie which also got a 5/5 review with a comment of "being hearty!"

If you can find the shop, you will be rewarded with curated coffee blends, excellent matcha, and a selection of locally sourced snacks for your sipping and nibbling pleasure. I personally love their coffee, and find their retail bags to make great gifts when traveling. I always bring a bag as a hostess gift for coffee loving friends, and recently brought some to Nantucket to visit my boyfriend's boat this summer and everyone loved it. They will also grind the beans to order at Springline, which makes it super easy to take home and use. The staff are young and friendly, however, don't let that fool you- they make fantastic drinks and are uniformly knowledgeable about the menu and can offer great recommendations if needed. Seating is limited, although if you can snag a table, you definitely should since the views are excellent. They do not provide straws at Springline, and use sip-cup lids instead. Any coffee lover should absolutely add Springline to their list for a Newport caffeine break!

The hostess was polite and prompt…read more The waitress on the other hand took her time with us and then when we ordered didn't even take our drink order. Then they served our food, but forgot my youngest boys breakfast (which was only pancakes on the kids menu). Then in the middle of him eating his mail while we were waiting she just dropped the check and said no rush instead of just waiting for him to finish up. Lastly, we paid our bill and then the waitress said oh wait I forgot to add your drinks to the check. This was funny because she forgot our drink water, and I had to go up and order our drinks, but yet she did remember at the last second to add them on which was too funny. The food was nothing special, but overall satisfactory. What you really are paying for is the ambience and the view out to the ocean.
