We drifted across the street to the Drift Cafe, and once we finally found the correct entry (downstairs using the right side of the restaurant) we entered this popular and somewhat eclectic little cafe. It wasn't easy finding an open table, the venue is small, and Drift is popular. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and all day breakfast plate, which took about 10 to 15 minutes to arrive. Both of which were hot and tasty. We'd be delighted to return here.

Root is a nice vegan spot in Newport with a simple, comfortable setup and a straightforward menu…read more Nothing fancy, but it feels welcoming and easy to order from. I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich, and it was really good. The flavor was smoky and slightly sweet, and the texture worked surprisingly well. My partner tried the Arriva grain bowl, which was fresh and layered with flavor without being heavy. Both dishes tasted well thought out and clearly made with care. The menu has a good mix of bowls, sandwiches, smoothies, and baked items, so it's easy to find something whether you're fully plant-based or just looking for a healthier option. Prices seemed reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Service was friendly, and things came out at a steady pace. Overall, Root feels like a solid place to go for a good vegan meal in town. I'd definitely come back for the food, especially that jackfruit sandwich.

The kids working the counter were also very short with the customers and would avert their attention mid order to listen to and talk to another employee.

I love collecting different rewards (the free smoothie is scarily close!), and the orders always arrive in a timely fashion and are made accurately. While I haven't ordered in person, the staff is friendly and kind, and always says hello when I arrive to pick up my smoothie. The shop is brand new, well lit and super clean. Don't be fooled by the humble strip mall plaza location- this spot is definitely worth checking out!

Thankfully, this place caters to both plant eaters and meat eaters... Wife and I had a hospital appointment that ran from morning until afternoon, and we had a short lunch break. We came here since it was really the only location nearby we could walk to and walk back that was not a really horrible pizza... We both got the grass feed beef hamburgers which were pretty good. For the price, I thought they would be a little bigger, but they weren't bad... They were cooked decently, still juicy and not dried out, and the sweet potato fries were outside. The sweet potato fries that came with the burger were the real stars of the meal. They were home cut sweet potatoes that were cut into large wedges and seasoned with light salt and pepper and baked. Not greasy, they were super soft and tasted great with Siracha and Ketchup. I don't think I'll be back again since the burger was one of the non-vegetable options, and I have had better. But it had a lot of those vegetable wraps and everything else... So if a friend takes you here and you aren't into the "Super Green Food" concept, don't be scared, they have real food too...

Hats off to those hearty and determined folks serving food to us! Kaffeology delivered the goods, short and simple. Seems to be a chain at this point, oweing to the number of spots they have operating - that is NOT a bad thing in this case. A lovely little spot, squeaky clean and cute, pleasant service and yummy brunch offerings. I had the chourico hash bowl and it hit on all points: hot, flavorful, a beautiful mix of parts leading to a pretty and delicious whole. The latte was spot on as well. I didn't catch the name of the young woman who was running the counter; she is to be commended for perfect morning service. Unlike last night's dinner at a chatty, happening bar, I look for easy-going and efficient service during the breakfast hours and she nailed it. Thanks to her and the person cooking 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.

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.
