    The Nitro Bar is hyped up for the right reasons. I went early Saturday morning when they opened and there was already a line. I ordered a cookie butter latte and a pizza bagel. The cookie butter whip with the cookie crumbles is as delicious as it looks. Inside the cafe, they have sweatshirts, mugs, and bags. They also had a good amount of tables but I can definitely see it being tight when it is peak times. Note that they don't have much parking so walking is your best bet.

    Nitro Bar is a Newport staple and is definitely worth the hype. I ordered a cookie butter latte which comes with cookie butter whip and cookie crumbles. The coffee was a perfect color and comes mixed already. The Nitro Bar merch inside is so cute and they have coffee mugs and canvas bags. I highly recommend adding Nitro Bar to your Newport plans. Go early because they get busy!!

    The Nitro Bar has really blown up over the past year! I still love the quality of their drinks, their space, their service and their love of what they do and who they serve. That is what makes them so loved by the community. Just be ware: the prices are rather expensive even for Newport. While the peppermint mocha whip was amazing, it was $11 after tax. Add in a tip and damn! It's def a spot for a once in a while treat. I count afford an $80 a week coffee bill. Def check it out!

    Raspberry matcha latte

    Coffee was delicious and made fresh! My friend got a matcha raspberry latte, she felt it needed more raspberry and one of the staff easily accommodated that request. The line was long and we were told by customers leaving it would be over an hour. It wasn't true, took less than 30 minutes. Glad we waited! It was busy, decent amount of seats and we were able to get a nice spot to sit. Ambiance was lively.

    Nitro Bar is one of those places that just feels good to walk into. It is bright, clean, and has a really welcoming vibe. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes everyone feel at home. You can tell they value inclusivity and create a space where all kinds of people feel comfortable and seen. Even when it is busy (which it often is), they stay courteous and upbeat. It is clear they care about the experience just as much as the coffee. The menu has a great variety of coffee and tea drinks. The nitro cold brew is a must try, super smooth and refreshing. The lavender honey latte is also a favorite, and if you are into matcha, theirs is fantastic. They also have some great pastries. The croissants and banana bread are especially good. Go early if you can since it fills up fast. But whether you are grabbing a quick drink or hanging out for a bit, it is a lovely stop in Newport.

    Nitro Bar's iced seasonal matchas are such a summer staple for me. However, I have a few hopes for The Nitro Bar. My first hope is that the ordering process could be improved. The place is so popular, but the wait is just too long in the hot summer sun. It would be great if they could create a pre-ordering system or perhaps a bigger storefront to churn out their food and drink orders. Also, when you are finally able to get your drinks and food, there also isn't enough seating inside and there are only two tables outside. Having said all that, this place is really amazing. It's staffed very well in that multiple people are taking orders, making drinks behind the bar, and making food in the kitchen. I've never seen that kind of staffing in a coffee shop, and applaud the owner(s) for making sure there is enough personnel working! As for drinks, I loved their caramelized banana matcha but their caramelized banana latte is superb to all lattes I've ever had. For food, the pizza bagel is famous but a tad too salty for me. Their matcha cookie and vegan tahini chocolate chip cookie are great to munch on, and are big and chewy. I know some people love a thin crispy cookie, but I prefer a chewiness to my cookies. I've also tried their pesto mozz tomato toast and that was surprisingly yummy - for $11.50, the portion size could be bigger, but it's wonderfully done.

    We originally tried to come here around 10-11 AM but quickly turned around after seeing the line. Since the Thames Street location looked even more packed, we decided to give it another shot the next day. Came back around 1:30 PM (in the middle of some heavy rain), and we were luckily able to order right away before a line started growing behind us. I tried one of their seasonal lattes, which was sweet but tasted a bit watered down. I wasn't super impressed with the coffee compared to the hype. Tip: Finding a parking spot wasn't easy so keep that in mind if you're on a tight schedule.

    Caramelized banana latte
    Alex L.

    Pretty good food, and very fun drinks! I like how they seem to have rotating flavors. This place had quite a long wait and limited seating, but people shuffle in and out pretty quickly. Got the nitro caramelized banana latte (just tasted like syrup) and breakfast bowl (it was alright, nothing incredible). Overall I feel the place had a lot of hype and was just okay.

    Lives up to the hype! I had a carmelized banana iced latte and my friend had blackberry. The matcha is strong and they pour it on top so mix before drinking the iced matcha. Great system and service.

    Cherry vanilla matcha, caramelized banana iced latte, pizza bagel

    Got the viral caramelized banana iced latte and added sea salt maple whip for my fiance he loved it, I got the cherry vanilla matcha which was good the coffee was better! I also got the pizza bagel and it was INCREDIBLE! I am still thinking about it, I ordered ahead for pick up on a Saturday morning and it took about an hour! When I walked up there was a line so I'm glad I ordered ahead, the vibe of the store and workers is exactly what you see on tiktok

    This place went viral but for good reason! There was a long line on a Sunday morning but it went along quickly. The place itself is small but has some indoor and outdoor seating. I chose a cherry vanilla latte with the nitro coffee and it was delicious. I would definitely come back because their coffee flavors are unique and worth it!!

    Love the Nitro Bars all over Rhode Island, very friendly service at all 3 that I've been to. This was my first time coming to the one on Pond street and I love it! It's small and crowded even in the winter! My drink was the only one that wasn't good but my husband shared his and so did my daughter.

    Carrot cake

    My dad and I drive an hour to come to this coffee shop every summer. We love it! Very reliable never disappoints. This is my favorite location. I love their chorizo with salsa verde wrap and tried their coffee cake for the first time today which was also good but I liked the carrot cake we got better. For drinks I have only had their plain nitro and it's amazing. Notes of chocolate. If you are into coffee you will appreciate theirs and be able to tell its high quality. We came on a Friday around 11:45 and it wasn't too crowded at all. Their online ordering system works well, was ready right when we got there. Baristas are very friendly and they have indoor seating.

    Good study spot?

    I would say so! It's pretty quiet, and even though seating is limited, it's usually not crazy crowded. Also the cookies make great study snacks!

    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!

Espresso (straight + mini cortado) The straight was under-extracted, resulting in a noticeable sourness and lack of balance. Not undrinkable, but it lacked the smoothness and depth you'd hope for. The cortado, however, improved the experience--the milk helped round out the acidity and made it far more approachable. Espresso Tonic: This ended up being the standout. It's definitely an acquired taste, but if you enjoy bright, citrus-forward drinks, this works. The subtle sweetness and orange notes complemented the espresso nicely, creating something refreshing and unique--perfect for warmer weather. Reminds me of a Matcha Milkis but with espresso instead. Iced Caramel Latte: A bit too milk-heavy for my preference. The espresso got lost, and while there were faint crème brûlée-like notes and a touch of caramel, the overall profile felt muted and underwhelming. Service: Excellent. One of the drinks was initially forgotten which resulted in me waiting several minutes, but the staff handled it well--quick apology and a complimentary drink chip. That level of accountability goes a long way and stands out compared to many other shops. Ambiance: Relaxed and inviting. The space has a fun, casual vibe with merchandise ranging from hoodies to cards, giving it some personality beyond just being a coffee stop. Overall: There's a strong foundation here. With more consistency in espresso extraction and slight adjustments to drink balance, this could easily be a solid spot.
