    Whipped Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Latte
    Benedict C.

    The Nitro Bar was the first stop for my girlfriend and I on our recent trip to Newport. It was a pretty gray Sunday but the line still stretched down the block. While waiting in line a young kid drove by and screamed, "YOU'RE WAITING IN LINE FOR F***ING COFFEE? ARE YOU RET***ED?" Nice to see that the locals are friendly. The line moved pretty quick though and since we were provided a menu while waiting we decided what we were going to get while waiting. I got the Whipped Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Latte and my girlfriend got the Tangerine Matcha Latte. It took a while to get the drinks made since they were so busy but it wasn't a ridiculous wait. Service was very friendly and the inside actually looked really nice. However, given how busy they were it was almost impossible to grab some seats. We decided to take a walk down by the water and have our drinks there. Overall the drinks were pretty good. Mine had just the right amount of raspberry flavor without overpowering the coffee. I actually liked my girlfriend's tangerine matcha even better though. It sounded like a strange combination but it worked really well. The tangerine flavor with the oat milk came across as an orange creamsicle type of flavor and I really enjoyed it with the matcha. The baked goods we got were pretty standard, nothing particularly noteworthy but good nonetheless. I enjoyed the drinks, but the price and overall business were a bit much.

    Yes there is always a line but Nitro is the best coffee shop on Thames. Loved the nitro cold brew on tap and there house made syrups definitely make their other drinks memorable. There is only a few tables in the cafe so prepare to take away.

    Cheerful ambiance!

    Who doesn't need a coffee break after browsing the shops on Thames Street? My friends and I sure do, and on a recent Saturday, we were lucky enough to hit the Nitro Bar when there wasn't a line snaking out the door and down the block! We had super-friendly and super-efficient service ordering an espresso tonic, chocolate malt float and blood orange hibiscus tea (such a delectable purple-red color!) All three beverages were sipped to the very last drop! Special thanks for also stocking the fridge with bottles of Diet Coke. Not enough cafes/coffee bars offer this soda option and sometimes, a gal has to have her Diet Coke! The Nitro Bar is a cheerful place to sit and since we were fortunate enough to find seating, we decided to share a grilled Asiago bagel and ricotta toast with heirloom tomatoes. Yummy x 2, and just enough snacking to tide the three of us over until a late lunch. We've been to the Nitro Bar on Pond Ave. in Newport and Broadway in Providence -- never disappointed with beverages/food but be prepared to wait In a line most of the time.

    Very cute, aesthetic coffee and matcha spot in Newport, RI! Lines are long and drink quality is average but there are not a ton of cafes like this out in RI. My friends and I were visiting so we gave it a try and thought it was okay. We liked the banana and blueberry flavors.

    During my trip to Rhode Island, I found myself coming back to the Nitro Bar time and time again. I went to both the Thames st and Pond ave locations and both kept true to the consistency of their lattes and food. As a person who enjoys a good espresso shot, I LOVED indulging in their banana latte and maple sea salt latte.

    So I'll admit it, I'm down bad for Nitro Bar. The hype is so worth it. I stopped by today on what was my last day in Newport, ready to face a super long line. To my surprise, I was able to walk right in, order, AND get a table. I was a lucky girl I guess. I tried the blueberry vanilla float latte, and it was delicious-tasted just like a blueberry muffin. The everything bagel with the pesto cream cheese and tomato is also killer...highly suggest that. Please come to Long Island someday- we would love you so hard out here!

    Definitely worth the hype that they have. I would just recommend ordering online prior as it made it so easy to pick up our drinks. It was still so busy in there around noon during the week so I think you would just be waiting a while. Food was also really good, I had the pesto bagel.

    I don't usually like to visit "viral" places where you have to wait outside in a line, but I was really pleasantly surprised by The Nitro Bar. We came on a Thursday afternoon and it was pretty busy, but it didn't take long to order or find a spot for the two of us. There's one table for four, a number of two seaters, and a few spots at the bar. I ordered the seasonal blueberry matcha, which was made with real blueberries and freshly whisked matcha. The flavors of the blueberry and matcha complimented each other well. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

    People who say this place is overrated may have different tastes and that's okay! I visited Newport a few weeks ago and the line was long, I waited maybe 30 minutes give or take, but the coffee did not disappoint!! The line moves fairly quickly, there are a few tables inside to sit at and enjoy there or you can take it to go. We tried three different coffees and each one was delicious. I highly recommend the tangerine latte float!! I was skeptical at first but it was one of the best coffees I've ever had! Expect a wait, especially in the summer months, but I would go back!

    i have really high expectations for coffee & nitro bar totally hit the mark. nitro bar had such a nice balance of coffee with the raspberry and chocolate flavors without either being overpowering. the nitro bar cold foam tasted like real cream and was better than any cold foam i've had before. there was a really long line but it moved pretty fast. it took about 20 minutes on a sunday afternoon and thankfully most of the line was in the shade. the service was honestly incredible. the baristas and cashier were all really nice and happy to answer questions. everyone had such a positive attitude. it can be a little difficult to find a seat. i was lucky and one opened up just as i got my drink. there are around 20 seats inside. the space has such a chic, simple atmosphere. i decided to try the veggie bagel with spicy sun-dried tomato cream cheese on an everything bagel. it came with radishes, cucumbers, and sprouts. this was really delicious. the crunchy toasted bagel, flavorful cream cheese, and fresh vegetables were a wonderful combination. i also love that they offer it as either a half or a full sandwich. there were also a lot of baked goods, overnight oats, and chia seed puddings that all looked great. they are definitely on my list to try next time. i would totally recommend checking out nitro bar.

    honestly pretty average for how much this place gets hyped up. the line was insanely long in providence, so we went to the newport location, where the line was long, but moved relatively fast, around 15 minutes wait. it was pretty busy, but the service was fast and we were able to get food relatively quickly. pesto and tomato bagel: really good! the bagel was crispy and the pesto was really garlicky in a good way! one qualm is that the menu said it would be an heirloom tomato, which it was not. it was just a bunch of scattered cherry tomatoes cut in half lol black raspberry chip latte: pretty good in terms of accuracy of flavor. can taste both the raspberry and the chocolate, and felt like a black forest cake in terms of taste. the coffee flavor gets completely overshadowed, and the entire drink after a few sips ends up just tasting like a chocolatey cough syrup. maple blondie: pretty good, tastes like a cinnamony coffee cake. a bit overly sweet, can't finish a whole thing on your own.

    Whipped Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Latte, Carrot Cake, Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie

    The line was 20-30 minutes (at around 10 am) and out the door which was annoying but expected because of how busy it was. It was also really full inside the building (most of the tables were full when we got in there) and it was pretty cramped and loud, but the staff were pretty nice. For a carrot cake, salted chocolate chip cookie, 2 whipped black raspberry chocolate chip lattes, and a caramelized banana latte it was around $37, which I thought was a pretty good price for how big the drinks and pastries were. The drinks were really good and the pastries were as well, I would definitely go again but maybe at a different time.

    Ventured to Newport with my gal pals to try this popular coffee spot, and was not disappointed. We waited in a long line formed outside in front of the store, however the line went quick and staff came outside and handed out a menu for one to look at before coming inside. Once at the counter, ordering was a breeze and staff were so friendly. Coffee and food came out quick, there's not much seating inside but we were able to grab a small table! When food and drinks were ready staff called out your name. EVERYTHING and I repeat EVERYTHING was soo good! That pizza bagel is chefs kiss. The hot honey, the meatball, the crispy bagel. I would come back for it all instantly! No wonder why this place is the go to spot!

    Mozz is one of my favorite hidden spots to grab a quick breakfast or lunch when running errands…read morearound Bellevue Avenue and environs. You'd never know it was once a Newport Creamery (super casual diner-style eatery), because the owners have done an excellent job of renovating the space into an Italian-inspired fresh cafe. Of course, the house Mozzarella is a standout, and they do provide samples upon request. They also have an impressive array of imported cheese and meats, perfect for crafting a memorable charcuterie board. I love their Espresso brewed fresh to order with pistachio milk (!! Where else have you ever seen pistachio milk?!), and the Frittata with potato and onion is my favorite for a light brunch moment. Make sure you ask them to heat it up for you! Ample seating inside and outside at adorable cafe tables round out the Italian street cafe vibe, and Mozz is not to be missed for your Newport adventure!

    One weekend afternoon in April 2026 I decided to pastry taste five spots in Newport Rhode Island…read more Mooz came in 4 of 5. It's a solid Italian spot with lots of food and sweet choices. I got a canolli and sfogliatella.. It's the only spot I found in town with Italian treats you can pickup and go. The canolli was really tasty but it was very small and very expensive. The sfogliatella matched the taste and quality of those I had in Napoli, Italy. It was expensive though. The spot has a pleasant sitting area that's functional but not necessarily cute to sit in and relax. Not much to look at inside. Overall a spot to get your Italian fix if you feel like paying the prices. It does have a great selection of cheeses, meats, and Italian goods which admittedly I didn't try. It's a slightly expensive spot even for Newport which is already an expensive town to eat in.
