Root in Rhode Island

"I was very happy to find a plant based food place right in the center of Newport. We got glow, arriba and eastern bowls, chickpea sandwich and couple of toasts. Not cheap, but food was good (except 2 out of 3 dressings, too acidic to my taste). Will definitely come back when I'm again in Newport. Thank you! Keep it up!"

"Absolutely outstanding! I just had the most amazing BLT with coconut bacon at ROOT on Broadway in Newport — pure amazeballs. They never disappoint! The flavors were incredible, the coconut bacon was a total game-changer, and the vibe is always spot-on. I also grabbed some chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they were heavenly. If you’re in Newport and craving something delicious, creative, and plant-based, ROOT is the spot. Can’t wait to go back!"

"This cafe has the best plant-based menu! I’m in town for two weeks of training and have visited four times so far. The Arriba, Arriba! Bowl and East Bowl are both absolutely delicious. But I was blown away by the coconut BLT and chickpea salad sandwiches. Perfection. Lots of smoothies and breakfast bowls available, as well as delicious hot and cold drinks, including an iced caramel chocolate oat-based nitro coffee and “dreamer” which has lavender. Since I don’t drink coffee, they made it with just oat milk. Very accommodating owner and staff. They have veggie puffs snacks to accompany your meal, as well as sweet baked goods like rocky road brownies and strawberry oat bars. Both are drool worthy. (They also offer a military discount.). Can’t recommend this place enough!"

"So good we went 3 times in 24 hours! I'm not even vegan! The options are really delicious, filling, and clean. We're from NYC so we can be picky about food but Root didn't disappoint. The owners and staff were really nice and we loved going back to try something new from the menu each time. We'll miss this for sure. Can't wait to go back next season!"

"The food and drinks are delicious. A good variety of sandwiches and bowls. They could add some baked goods as muffins and cookies to the menu but over all a very good spot. The chickpea salad sandwich is great!!"

"Beautifully decorated place, delicious food, excellent customer service. We loved our experience and would definitely come again next time we are in Newport. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the coffee reminded us of holiday treats."

"We love it here! Their menu is fresh and delicious. They have great dressings and are happy to customize your juices!"

"Awesome vegan place for lunch, brunch or breakfast. We had the Greek bowl and Arriba bowls. Staff is friendly and helpful with their recommendations and favorite picks. They happily obliged to customization requests on the standard bowls. Also tried their Orange Ya Glad(added ginger) and Green Machine Juices which were both very refreshing. The Ciao Bella sandwich was nice but slightly low on seasoning per our taste."

"My new go to for healthy juices and bowls. Fresh and reasonably priced. The gals are all cool!"

"Great little place with a fabulous plant-based menu! We got the East Bowl, Cobb salad w/jackfruit and the Seaside smoothie and each was delicious. The coconut bacon was particularly addicting. The folks working were very friendly and welcoming and added to the overall experience."
