    Window seating
    Delaney M.

    This place sticks true to their ~roots~ in that everything is super fresh! I got their matcha pineapple sunrise bowl and after talking with the nice staff I learned everything is fresh fruit, no sorbet ingredients used to create the bases like at other places. I told her how I was craving pineapple and she ended up adding some as a topping for me!!! I've also had their grain bowls before as well as their avocado toast and it's unreal. Price is what you would expect, $11-20 per meal item after tip. The portions are huge and everything is fresh so you get what you're paying for. Location is along the classic Broadway strip, lots of stores to jump around. Entrance is handicap accessible, leads you straight to the order counter where there's menus with large print and the staff is helpful. There are a variety of coffee drinks, teas (including matcha) and smoothies available. There's ample seating, including window seating to enjoy people watching. Could be a good place to bring your laptop and get some work done. Taylor swift heavy playlist which I'm a fan of.

    Avocado Toast
    Anant G.

    Came here for a quick breakfast meal. Restaurant is very small but has a decent amount of seating. It's run by what looks like a family that was very friendly and warm. We got the avocado and pesto toast. The avocado toast was great, very fresh spread and well flavored on a multigrain bread. The pesto toast was good too, but the pesto was a bit too tangy I think.

    Stopped by Root for breakfast. We got breakfast sandwiches and coffee. Everything was great. We ate inside the restaurant, which is very small, but nice. Root is a great place to stop by for a quick meal and coffee! The servers were very nice too.

    The best vegan food cafe in Newport, RI. Started off my day with the Frozen Cocoa: Blended bananas, avocado, almond milk, dates, maple syrup, cocoa, topped with strawberries, banana, cocoa nibs, coconut and my own idea, a shot of almond butter for extra protein. Omg, yummers! Delicious!

    Açai bowl

    Glow bowl was fantastic. My favorite part was the avocado herb dressing. It was very uniquely smooth and satisfying. The ingredients all tasted fresh. You get a choice of quinoa or brown rice. I do wish there was a little bit more grains, as I wasn't quite full afterwards. Acai bowl was even better! It was extremely smooth, and not too sweet. Really really well done. Orange Ya Glad: These juices are also fantastic. I could chug one in seconds, they're so good. Really flavorful. In summary, I'm very satisfied with the freshness of their ingredients and with their prices. The prices are quite fair compared to other breakfast/brunch places. I really love the concept of this cafe, and the interior is well decorated too! The staff are incredibly friendly. Great experience. Would definitely come back.

    Coconut BLT
    Yen P.

    This shop has convinced me that the acai bowl is a must have. My boyfriend and I stopped in before our mansion tour in Newport RI. What a cute little spot. The inside is small and definitely decorated like an instagram spot. I got the acai bowl. The bowl was perfectly blended into a smooth thick consistency. Very important for the spoon-ability of the dish. The bowl had great banana flavor. The toppings added great texture to the dish. It was a light and refreshing breakfast on a very hot summer day. My bf had the coconut BLT. This was an interesting one. The flavors surprisingly worked. Is it really a BLT...? No not really, but an interesting sandwich. I think if they could, the coconut should be bigger pieces instead of the bits. Very hard to eat. Great cute spot to hang out with friends and eat great vegan things :)

    Avocado toast - was actually very impressed! Good portion and great toppings. Plus the bread was crispy and interesting

    The Quick: Loving this spot for healthy and delicious options. I love that the menu has plenty of sweet options and plenty of savory. Acai bowls were incredible, and then there's the avocado toast which we were so impressed with. It was very reasonably priced for what they give you and such an easy meal. Will be back for more avocado goodness soon!!

    I've always been a person who loves vegetables, but as I've gotten older, I've wanted them more and more frequently. I'm definitely not scared of kale, and I love the opportunity to substitute beans and rice or other legumes like lentils instead of meat options. Because of this, we were motivated to find some vegetarian/vegan options and just happened upon Root. When we arrived, we were surprised at how many people were there. Seating is limited, but the place was packed. We sat awhile and looked at the menu and then decided to both get grain bowls and a fresh juice. I ordered the Asian bowl with brown rice and hubby ordered the Greek bowl with brown rice as well and for our fresh juice we ordered the second on the menu. When the food arrived, it was plated beautifully and it was packed with flavorful items. The hummus on hubby's bowl was delicious as well as the vegan yogurt sauce. My bowl had edamame and ginger which was awesome but the best part was a giant pile of kimchi which I really enjoyed. The juice was good as well, similar to what I make at home. Prices are high but what you get is a good product, well-plated, from friendly people, and high-quality ingredients. Downsides are lack of parking on the street, lack of seating indoors, and no restroom so you're just going to have to hold it if you need to go. The owner is military-friendly, as his daughter is in the Navy and they offer a military discount for active duty families which is awesome. We will definitely be returning and can't wait to try more off of their vegan and vegetarian menu.

    Frozen Cocoa Bowl

    Lunch today at Root in Newport, Rhode Island was awesome. It's a small casual place with really friendly service and delicious food. I had the Frozen Cocoa Bowl (blended banana, avocado, almond milk, date, maple syrup, cocoa, topped with strawberry, banana, cacao nibs, coconut). It was absolutely delicious! My sweetie had the AÇAI Bowl (house acai blend topped with strawberry, blueberry, granola, chia, cacao nibs). He said it was good. I would definitely recommend!

    Avocado Toast

    Super tasty veggie centric lunch. Perfect for a light lunch on a Saturday exploring the city. We split an avocado toast and each got a smoothie. Delicious and surprisingly not crowded given the surrounding area.

    Glow bowl to go.

    Friends in town and wanted a nice relaxing place to enjoy a meal. Not too busy for a midweek night…read more Had both bar or table seating available for quick seating. Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

    The ambience is very nice in here & I got sat right away. The wine menu was confusing because when…read moreI asked the waitress about the white wines per glass she said only 3 were available. She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

Plenty of sandwich, soup and salad options to feed that hunger. One can even build their own if they want to change it up from the normal selection. Have a party? They cater as well! This is an amazing place to take care of your food needs! Had the Italian as part of RI Food Fights menu and it was a phenomenal combination of ham, capicola, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini, OG vinaigrette on a baguette. Good portion of meats with the fresh veggies that tasted delicious. Grabbed a juice along with a little swag, premade corn beef and cabbage meal and a chourico pie for later. Breakfast menu and drinks look tasty and look forward to sampling those when able as well. Small kids menu to keep the little ones at bay. Service was very friendly as I asked a ton of questions being in for the first time. Ensure to stop by, you will not be disappointed!!
