Great food

Very pleased to find a fully plant-based restaurant.
Good selection of bowls, salads, toasts, sandwiches and juices.
I had a Greek grain bowl (grain choice was quinoa or brown rice),
which was delicious.

A delight

Located on a cute historic Main Street in downtown Newport. Space and small, clean, and cozy. Menu has lots to offer but not too much. We enjoyed the food immensely and it was fresh and not heavy feeling. Chickpea salad…yum. Ciao Bella sandwich…delish. Ricotta berry toast…delightful. Prices are fair for the portion size. Love that they feature local plant based cheese company in a bunch of stuff (Barrett’s Farm).

Pros: All vegan , Fresh and delicious , Nice folks

Awesome!!

Great vegan options, delicious food.
Paul the owner chatted with us for a few minutes really making the experience wonderful for us.
We had breakfast (2 oatmeal bowls) and a green juice/ no apple subbed extra celery, which kept us full until we came back for lunch 5 hours later.

The “glow” bowl was delicious- next time I’ll ask for another shot of dressing, and my husband loved his egg English muffin sandwich and spinach salad.

Love this place!!!

Pros: Food, Service

Great food and great people!

A very pleasant, cheery place! I ate here three times in two days and there are still things I want to go back to try. Their menu seems to have something for every mood…unique items (ricotta berry toast, I’m thinking about you 😍), classics, healthy dishes, cheesy dishes, funfetti sugar cookies…

A heads up, they don’t have a public restroom.

Pros: Great food, Friendly, Healthy options

Cons: No public restroom

Fresh and delicious

What an absolutely delicious all vegan haven! I had the chickpea salad sandwich and the multigrain bread was warm and crisped. The chickpea salad was seasoned perfectly and was probably the best I’ve had. Service was friendly and prompt. Cute vibe inside. I also got two cookies which were yummo!

Pros: Cute and fresh atmosphere , Delicious, clean food, Friendly service

Plant Based Goodness

1st time here. Street parking available where you can find it. Indoor seating available. Counter service. Fairly small menu but when done right, you don’t need many options. Super friendly and grateful service - they said thank you for choosing us many times. I had their avocado toast which was nice and crispy. I also had their breakfast sandwich with coving bacon and tomato. It was delicious. Would definitely come back

Pros: Friendly, Clean, Made to order

Solid vegan cafe food

Although the menu is small, it is solid and healthy, and the people are super. Everything we had was delicious and satisfying. Sadly the kale Caesar isn’t available anymore because they can’t get the dressing…

Pros: Plant-based 100%, Great people, Healthy, fast, eco-minded

Cons: Small space to eat inside

Good find

The staff and owner are super nice and always happy to welcome you. It's one of the few places with an entirely plant-based menu in a prime location. The food is tasty. We like the bowls and breakfast sandwich. Its toasty inside seating and also some outdoor tables.

Pleasant all-vegan cafe

We stopped in here several times over the course of our stay here when staying at a nearby hotel with no vegan breakfast options.

Knockout items included the matcha lavender latte and the basil-and-blackberry fauxcotta breakfast toast. I was also happy with the ciao bella, which includes a form of vegan mozz I haven't seen before ("Barrett's Garden..."). A tapioca-and-cashew based cheese that's not especially funky or fermented tasting, and more resembles a grainy cousin to silken tofu. I would say the red onions are cut unpleasantly chunky and (I think) not watered / de-sulfured as I'd do at home.

The frozen cocoa bowl was a bit like eating a giant bowl of baby food, in a good way (mostly). The breakfast sandwich was a pretty no-frills item I would probably not order if I had a kitchen of my own here.

The lack of bathroom ("no public restroom" means NO RESTROOM in this area!) almost did me dirty!!! Plan ahead!

Grateful for this place!

Newport has always seemed like a vegan food desert, especially compared to Providence (or even Middletown). This cafe finally brings a much needed vegan food option to the center of town, the location can’t be beat. I am not usually a smoothie person but I had “The Awakening” and it was amazing and just what I needed!

Small selection, but good

Whatever you order is good, wish there was a little more variety. But really good location, yummy, and quick.

tastes as good as it looks

for what they’re going for (clean and quick) they’ve definitely got all of the boxes checked. it would be nice if they rotated their very small menu around though.

Pros: fully vegan/plant-based

Cons: small menu/limited variety

Super tasty

We had avocado toast, the East bowl, juice, tea and brownies. Everything was delicious, I especially liked the bowl! The service was fast and friendly even though they were super busy. Highly recommended!
