Vegan Breakfast Burrito
Brittany M.

Another great place to grab some food that has options for everyone! We stopped into Ultralife Cafe for the vegan options. They have quite a few options that are already vegan and some that you can make vegan at no extra charge, which is really nice. This cafe is somewhere you can pop into and sit and have a coffee, grab a bite, or get your food & drink to go and walk down to the beach. It's quite small inside but has lots of small tables. It's not a cafe to take your family to for a sit down breakfast/brunch. They offer vegan pastries as well as gluten free! I got the vegan breakfast sando to go - it's on the menu described as being on a gluten free waffle but it came on a plain bagel which was totally fine with me. We also ordered the vegan club sando which was 10/10. We actually went for brunch both days during our visit because of the options for everyone. Overall great place and nice experience!

This is my spot - boo!

I really love this cafe. I have to stay in Nye Beach so that in the morning, I can walk to Ultralife, have a good coffee and read the NYT. Maybe a delicious donut - why not? And ohmygawd are the scones good, maybe best I've had. There's a cool vibe here, steps from the ocean. The people helping you are cool, and the people getting coffee are cool. Nye Beach is pretty cool. I recommend.

Stopped by Ultra life cafe for a caffeine boost before our long way home. The shop is very cute with lots of seating. We did not have their baked goods but they had lots of yummy looking offerings and some gluten free as well! The barista was friendly and helpful Making drink suggestions. The drinks themselves were not our favorite. The latte tasted burnt and the blended energy drink I had with "fresh fruit" did not taste like fresh fruit it tasted like the fruit syrup blend you get at Dutch brothers. While we didn't like our selections I would come back and give them another go.

Cute interior

LOOOVED this place. The cuteness factor is worth five stars alone, but the quality of the baked goods was amazing. Particularly gluten-free options. I had a breakfast sandwich on a gluten-free biscuit that was heavenly. They also have this self serve bakery case that looks like heaven. I was there in the morning and it was bustling for sure. But it also looks like they might do cocktails later in the day. Everything looked and tasted fresh and the service was friendly. This is a new go to in Newport for me.

My wife and I came here twice and each time we were so impressed by the quality of the food, the quality of the drinks, and most importantly how friendly the entire staff was. They were pretty busy he had to everyone had this incredible attitude and really made us feel at home. It is also a very cute shop on the inside which is warm and welcoming.

A very cute place, super close to our hotel and the beach, the chai latte was very nice, a bit on the sweet side, and the breakfast portions are large and reasonably priced! I would definitely visit again

Açaí bowl. Delicious
Steve P.

The Baristas here are very good. My macchiato came out perfectly. There is quite a substantial menu of drinks and eats for such a small shop. Fortunately they have a nice seating area with tables inside. The staff really are pleasant and fun to interact with. We found that they have an açaí bowl, so we had the Passion Fruit Tiki. It was really refreshing, even this carnivore enjoyed it. If we had these in our hometown I would definitely be a bit healthier eating these more routinely. Just for laughs I said "that was too healthy, let's share a doughnut". So we did and it was delicious. Then we found out it actually was a healthy version being vegan and gluten free..... I am chagrined by this. ....and I loved it. If healthy food is going to taste good, then BRING it!

This is a gem of a place in Nye Beach and has some terrific bakery and food menu items along with great coffee and even beer, wine and cocktails too!. I had an old fashioned mimosa and it was a great choice. We also had the Bloody Mary too.

Coffee cheesecake
Rose L.

Great spot to grab a bite while exploring Newport. I got the Avocado Caprese Bagel and it was so delicious. The coffee cheesecakes was a wonderful treat. The cashier was very welcoming and the prices are decent for the area. The cafe is a little cramped when they got busy. We plan on come back the next we visit.

Bustling lil cafe with cozy environment and many vegan options. I had a breakfast type of pannin- tasty and well priced (just a bit too hot - oven/wave). My latte was delish too!

Inside
John C.

One of our favorite stops for coffee and a scone. Friendly service. We have had lunch here before, and it was good. But not the day of this review. Great little area to be in. Can't go wrong for stopping here.

Storefront up the hill from Nye Beach (8/31/24)
Marie B.

After visiting the bakery across the street, I walked into its polar opposite, Ultralife Cafe (8/31/24). I checked in and noticed there was a Yelp perk of a free doughnut. This was confirmed this was indeed true, but not including the other larger pastries. I ordered a mocha, which was an automatic 2 shot, 16oz beverage ($5.35). There was a brief wait due to the large party ahead of me whose bev orders were being prepared. This gave me a chance to look around. There's a doughnut and pastry self-serve case, cafe merch, coffee roasts, acai bowls, cocktails, various other bevs...looks like a cafe that covers different niches and a plus, more onsite seating. However, I did sit again at one of the outdoor sidewalk benches after claiming my piping hot mocha. No cup sleeves available. I cropped photos on my phone and people watched while seated outside. With the afternoon breeze, eventually my cup was comfortable to carry back a block away to my car. Tasty mocha, thank you Ultralife Cafe.

Love the ambiance

See all

EXCELLENT coffee, the best we had on our trip through Northern CA, Oregon, and Washington. Also enjoyed a bagel with hummus.

Not the best breakfast. Burnt pieces from the press and a slightly acrid flavor. Great location.
