It was very busy with takeout orders. perfect location I ordered the arriba arriba! bowl and it was better then i expected. the pickled jalapeños were the absolute best part. I'm excited to go back and try more! read more

We did the cliff walk early in the day and found this place in the afternoon. We ordered the Avocado Toast (pictured) and the Chai latte iced tea. The gentleman who took our order was really nice and we asked for a cup of ice water (being tired from the walk) and he brought us an extra just to be nice! It is always nice to see good service - I feel like they did a great job making us feel welcome and the avocado toast was delicious! Certainly hit the spot! I would highly suggest this restaurant to people in the area! read more

Was looking for a healthy breakfast spot and this place had a delicious "breakfast egg sandwich" the coconut bacon and faux eggs were hard To tel a difference from the real thing. But did spend 40 bucks on a coffee, two sandwiches and a green juice which is absolutely insane to me! Not the restaurants fault entirely but it would be nice to see a healthier restaurant not break someone's wallet. read more

It just doesn't get any better than Root, and there are a lot of reasons why, but primarily, of course, it's the food, which rivals the best vegan anywhere - even NYC and L.A. And truth is, even if you're not vegan - my husband isn't - we enjoyed the freshest, tastiest sandwiches and salads imaginable. The chickpea salad is bursting with flavor; the smoothies were healthful and delicious. Paul, the founder and owner, is a charming, caring guy, and his dishes reflect that. Come in for something small and then end up eating...everything. One of the best aspects of our visit to Newport. read more

Nice place, friendly staff. I had the Awakening smoothie which was delicious. Family had avocado toast and the frozen Cocoa bowl. The smoothie was lovely. The bowl was a blended banana bowl and the bananas weren't blended enough - 2 huge chunks. It was just okay. Coffee was not warm enough. But having said that I liked Root. Had to go back the next day to get the awakening smoothie again read more

You know what they say...you are what you eat. If you wanna have a healthy meal and a boost in energy, go to this place. We got a green juice and a grain bowl. Green juice was a bit sour; they should use sweet apples instead of green apples. We ordered the Arriba bowl and the Greek which hit the spot. Everything was fresh and the service was fast. The place was also very clean and they disinfect all the tables. I wish they had a place like this in Manchester, NH! read more

Root - Arriba bowl and green juice...excellent! - Vegan Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I'm not vegan/vegetarian and I really love their food and smoothies. My favorite is the bowl with kimchi in it.

Newport lacks many vegan options and while I'm not strict vegan I think it's nice to have the option. I tried the beet juice and the smash white bean toast. The place was quit, dimly lit, which I like! I've been in a juice bender lately and I love trying new combos. The one I tried had beets, pear, cabbage. It was delish! The smashed white bean toast had a pepper sauce drizzled on top which had the right amount of tang, with crispy whole grain toast! The service was very friendly. I would absolutely return read more

We've been on a WFPB, whole food plant based, journey since early January. Monday will make a month. Surprisingly enough, it hasn't been as hard as anticipated. We are doing well with it all & feel so much better physically speaking. So much so, I'm sticking to it. For breakfast today we went to Root, on lower Broadway, across from Fastnet. It was amazing. The owner's husband was working the register & both he and the staff were very friendly & so accommodating. Don explained we didn't know this place existed, finding it when searching for vegan places in our area. They were just as excited to see us as we were to find them. They offered a taste of their "bacon", the basis of which is coconut flakes, and it blew my mind. So much so, I ordered the BLT sandwich and it was awesome. Don ordered their Arribe Arribe grain bowl which was as fresh as gets, including the avocado. That too was a great meal. My favorite hands down was the BLT. It felt like I was "cheating" since we've been so good sticking to WFPB, even when eating out the few times that we have. From the flavoring, the fresh ingredients, as well as the texture & freshness of the multi grain bread used, it was an epicurean party on the tastebuds! Not only did Root offer to let us taste their "bacon", they let us try a scoop of their chickpea salad, also referred to as the No-Tuna Salad in the WFPB/Vegan world. It blew my mind, seriously the taste and texture was great for chickpea. I would have never guessed it would be so good. I'm looking forward to that sandwich next. And last but not least, the owner's husband brought over a sample tasting of their beet juice concoction. It was a light & refreshing taste. Definitely a heavy beet taste, which I've come to "appreciate" myself lately. I think I would ask for extra lime juice myself should I order one. Give this place a try for sure! They were all so welcoming. It's such a great atmosphere. Vegan or not, plant based or not, this place suits all & I highly recommend a visit. read more

Being vegetarians we are always on the lookout for good places and we found this gem of a place. Completely vegan food. Lovely food. Tried the Avacado toast, pesto toast, the ciabatta bread mozzarella sandwich. The hummus sandwich. They had vegan chocolate brownies which was very similar to the shredded coconut sweet of India. Overall great place to have sumptuous vegan meal. read more

Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! 10/10 across the board - great food, super fast, fresh ingredients and the friendliest service. We each got a bowl and they were delicious! We tried the Arriba, Greek Goddess and Glow Bowl and all were great. We will be back to try a smoothie, oatmeal or toast - we saw others ordering them and they looked great. Our food was ready within minutes and the man who served us was very kind and thanked us for coming and offered us recs for our visit in Newport. Will definitely recommend Root to anyone looking for a healthy and super great tasting meal! read more

Root - Arriba bowl - Vegan Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

Very friendly team. They took orders right up until close. The food was delicious. We ordered one of each bowl, everyone was happy with their meal. We took it out to eat at picnic tables near the water but there is seating there too. The chickpea "tuna" was really great, my 1.5yo really liked it. The Hibiscus tea was really good too. Definitely recommend. The restaurant is Kosher and 100% vegan. read more

Hubby and I enjoyed our brown rice bowls. He had the Arriba, I had the one with avocado dressing. Next time I'll try the quinoa version.

We had the best experience this morning at Root! The food was amazing, with fresh ingredients, great portion sizes, and very reasonable prices. The savory bowls and toast are piled high! My friend and I ended up with 2 coffees each; they were that good! The best part of the experience was the proprietor. You can tell how much he loves his business and how much he wants each customer to feel valued. If you are looking for an amazing meal and unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Root. read more

What a gem! I'm we were visiting from Oregon and looking for a healthy lunch. This place was perfect! I had the watermelon poke bowl special and it was the bomb!! My hubby had the Arriba bowl and he inhaled it...I wish we were in town longer, their açaí bowls looked delish! Don't miss out on this healthy and flavorful joint! read more

There seemed to be a decent amount of juice spots nearby, but I chose this one bc of it's lists of delicious beverages and the proximity to our B&B. So glad I did. Worth every penny plus. Paul the owner was super nice and accommodating even added watermelon to the juice I ordered, free of charge. It's right in town and has a very chill vibe, you could easily come and get work done here and I don't think the people around would be absurdly loud. Would love to come back and try the smushed white bean toast. Mouth watering already. read more

Don't allow customer to use bathroom even after spending over $50 and giving an 18% tip at a counter service place.

Ate here on a recent trip to Newport. Beautiful location, the street. We ordered sandwiches. Service was quick. The staff was very polite. The food was delicious. It would've been a perfect experience if a bag of chips or a pickle spear had been included. Just sayin'. Would definitely eat here again. Yum. read more

Really yummy healthy bowls and great drinks! Staff is very friendly, would recommend!!

Great food and service. Try the Chickpea sandwich on bread or over spinach with the Tzatziki sauce!

Right when you walk in, there is a welcoming feeling. It is very tidy and the staff is friendly. The food is as fresh as anyone could ask for and presented as so. It's also great to see business owners care so much that they are there every time. Whether you are looking for coffee, a snack, or to satisfy your hunger, they hit it all! read more

Excellen,t! Everything we had was incredibly good. Both my husband and I especially loved the Glow bowl and the coconut BLT and wish. The East bowl, SMOR vegan desert, nd ORANGE UR GLAD juice were excellent also, The chickpea sandwich was very good but we were in love with the coconut bacon BLT. I ordered enough take out for both lunch and dinner. The food is fantastic, all vegan, and we will definitely return while in town. The Glow bowl, such a hit with us, includes quinoa, sweet potto, white bean, carrot, beet raisin, hemp seed, cabbage, and avocado herb dressing. We had a choice of quinoa or brown rice. We chose quinoa for everything. The food was matched so well, such a delicious combination. Th same could e aid for the East Bowlwhich included eggplant, carrot scallion, kimchi, nori, sesane, Edame, avocado, miso dressing. Also fantastic cpmbinations of flavor! It was clear the desserts were very popular and sold out quickly. I can't wait to return! We did takeout, and we loved the find, professional, very helpful service. We can't to return for more! read more

My friend, sister and I took a day trip to Newport, RI, and needed a place to eat since we had to leave at the crack of dawn. Unfortunately, there aren't too many places with vegan food in Newport, which surprised me a bit. Fortunately, I found this place and it's awesome! My sister and I both had the smashed white bean toast, which was piled high, while my friend had the acai bowl, which was huge, and two of us had the salted caramel iced coffee (even my sister who doesn't like coffee [I only like iced] said it was really good). Everything was reasonably priced and delicious. As a bonus, the owner was extremely nice and gave us a quick lay of the land when we asked him about places to go. I wish they had a larger menu for lunch or dinner, but I definitely plan on going back to Newport again and will make a point to stop by Root. read more
