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.

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!

The shop is super tiny, but the line moves quickly, and there is plenty of outdoor seating. You also can grab your drink and enjoy Bowen's wharf.

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

Not only is their coffee delicious, but their staff is also kind and considerate. On the day we visited, it was incredibly cold outside and we needed a place to warm up with some hot beverages. However, we had our dog with us. Since they were close to closing time, and our dog is very small and well behaved, they allowed us to bring her in so she could warm up as well. I thought this was a very kind gesture on their part and made me appreciate their business that much more. Thank you again to the staff for such a great experience.
