Root is a nice vegan spot in Newport with a simple, comfortable setup and a straightforward menu…read more Nothing fancy, but it feels welcoming and easy to order from. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich, and it was really good. The flavor was smoky and slightly sweet, and the texture worked surprisingly well. My partner tried the Arriva grain bowl, which was fresh and layered with flavor without being heavy. Both dishes tasted well thought out and clearly made with care. The menu has a good mix of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and baked items, so it's easy to find something whether you're fully plant-based or just looking for a healthier option. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly, and things came out at a steady pace. Overall, Root feels like a solid place to go for a good vegan meal in town. I'd definitely come back for the food, especially that jackfruit sandwich.

We drifted across the street to the Drift Cafe, and once we finally found the correct entry (downstairs using the right side of the restaurant) we entered this popular and somewhat eclectic little cafe. It wasn't easy finding an open table, the venue is small, and Drift is popular. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and all day breakfast plate, which took about 10 to 15 minutes to arrive. Both of which were hot and tasty. We'd be delighted to return here.

I come in often after a workout to get some delicious caffeine that makes me feel refreshed and energized, any one of Tracy's yummy and healthy shakes that leaves me feeling satisfied, and I also come for the good vibes. Tracy is a thoughtful host, generous with her knowledge and her uplifting energy and an equally wonderful person who I've grown to be good friends with. She's created a warm atmosphere and has attracted a special community here in Newport that I always look forward to returning to. You will always leave here feeling better than you came in. :) The skittles tea is one of my favorites with ANY of the shakes especially the ones with peanut butter!

The parking lot is quite spacious, but the plaza only offers paid parking, however you can get your parking validated with purchase at any store in the plaza with proof of parking ticket. The store itself was clean, rather spacious, and well organized with clearly labeled aisles and pricing. I found that you could get many of the staple items at nearby competitors for nearly half the price. I thought they offered unique products in the meals to go section for a reasonable price point. I would recommend the mini snackle boxes and raw pressed juices. Those could actually be useful for a nearby beach trip and I liked that they use glass jars. The woman running the cafe section of the store was very hospitable, but as other Yelpers have mentioned some of the other store associates were less than enthused. I kind of get it though, Newport's upper echelon isn't the easiest clientele to interact with so I would probably get a little stoic over time as well.

Later during the trip, I looked it up online and saw they had a brick and mortar store in Middletown. Before we drove back home to Jersey, we stopped at The Power of Juice in MIddletown and bought some juices and a bag of 'Not Your Mama's Bars' for the road. Pricey but very good! If I was staying in the area for a longer duration and buying groceries, I would pick up another bag of those 'Not Your Mama's Bars'. They are very dense but packed with good ingredients that keep you full and energized. The juices were good, but the real star were those bars IMO.

The champagne (which was served room temperature and not chilled) was disappointing.

Enter Slim Possible, which has the BEST protein shakes I have ever had. EVER. Now, I am not a shake gal - I prefer to eat my calories - and every healthy concoction I've tried up until I stumbled upon this wondrous spot has tasted chalky, artificial, or worse. Not so at Slim Possible, whose numerous flavor offerings run the gamut from Coconut Cream Pie (when the cheerful cashier asked if I wanted an Oreo layer blended into my shake, my answer was tears of joy and a resounding HECK YES), to a convincing Lemon Poppyseed, which tastes like a liquified version of the popular cafe treat. No matter what you go with, you won't be disappointed. I'm still working my way through their massive menu, and I look forward to updating this review when I get a chance to go again. Next on my list? Cranberry-Orange! Slim Possible is nestled in a small business plaza off a main road in Middletown, and can be easy to miss while driving by. If you take the time to come here, though, you will be pleasantly surprised! Word on the street is that they're opening a sister location on Broadway in Newport within the next few months. Stay tuned!

They're in the midst of a biweekly summer series, and I highly recommend buying a ticket! Five courses, plus an amuse bouche and palate cleanser - you won't leave hungry, and every dish will wow you.
