Vegan options for breakfast & lunch

We each had the Forks Over Knives vegan breakfast burrito that was finished in a panini press, and it was very good! There was also a vegan sandwich option. Fun place, good service.

Wonderful cafe

Cute cafe in the nye district, right on the ocean, attached to a neat touristy retail store. Lots of vegan items and everything well labeled. Excellent breakfast sandwiches and coffee, although not impressed with the bakery items, like the poptart.

Yay vegan options!!

Yesterday I had the “Forks Over Knives” burrito which is essentially delicious vegan junk food pressed panini style in a tortilla. Very satisfying indeed!
Today it’s the “Hipster Bagel” and an almond milk latte.
They also have several vegan pastries!! Like pop tarts and donuts….
Fresh and very tasty. I’m a happy vegan in Newport 🤗

Pros: Fresh fresh fresh , Great service , Good coffee

Cons: Everything comes in a to go container=extra waste

Great vegan pastries and Macchiato

Best macchiato I have ever had, they give you a choice of plant milks to choose from. Absolutely divine. I also bought their " Toaster" pastries avail in strawberry and marionberry. The jams were perfectly set, and just sweet enough. the pastry itself was deliciously flaky. I also got a donut which apparently was a 4 year in the making recipe. they NAILED it!! Wonderful, light and not dense like some I have had. This is a cake style donut . The only negative I had is ,I feel the sugar icing added way too much sweetness to the pastries overall. But then again, I am just one person and my husband loved his.

Pros: AMazeballs coffee macchiato , Flaky delicious pastries and wonderful jam filling, Wonderful donut, they nailed the recipe

Cons: Icing on the pastries and donut was way too sweet

MatthewHarner

Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the macchiato and our plant milk options—it’s wonderful to know it made such an impression. We’re also delighted that our toaster pastries and cake-style donut hit the mark for you, and we’re so proud of the years spent perfecting that donut recipe!

Thank you for the feedback on the icing sweetness, too. We know everyone’s preferences vary, and we’ll keep it in mind as we continue crafting our treats. Can’t wait to welcome you back for more coffee and goodies soon!

A fantastic place with bfast options!!!

It’s a treat to stop here when in town. To have a place with such delicious food and it has vegan breakfast options is something to appreciate. After attending an event, we stopped by the next morning and I wanted to get several things for the drive home. I was excited to see the homemade pop tart was vegan. Ordered two entrees and then got a pop tart and maple donut (not pictured as I ate it before remembering). If it’s a sunny day, grab your food to go and go to walk down to the beach and enjoy!!

Thank you so much for making us a part of your visit! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed our vegan breakfast options and had a chance to try the homemade pop tart and maple donut (sounds like it was too good to resist a photo!). Your tip about taking food down to the beach is spot-on—nothing like enjoying a good meal with a view. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in town!

Best option in the area

Ultralife always has several marked vegan options on the menu and several baked goods in the case such as vegan pop tarts and vegan/gluten free donuts. The staff is generally knowledgeable about veganism. They even have vegan ice cream available!
The food is good, not incredible. I will be returning since it's the best option in the area.

Thank you so much for your review and for highlighting our vegan options! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the variety—from vegan pop tarts to donuts—and that our team could help with your questions.

Awesome bagels

This place has a decent number of vegan options. I’ve never tried vegan ham, but Ultralife has this and it tastes literally like a real one. Vegan pesto makes their food even more valuable. Added up lots of extras for free.

Pros: Pesto, ham, egg substitute.

Cons: a little pricey lunch menu

A few good vegan options

I had the plant based bagel and it was delicious, the tempeh and spicy spread on the sandwich were so good. My daughter had the vegan pesto cream cheese in a plain bagel and loved it. The granola for the açaí bowl isn’t vegan though.

Great bagel sandwich!

Had the hipster avocado bagel sandwich, was delicious! Have a good selection of vegan food options (even a vegan breakfast sandwich with vegan cheese, egg, meat), although pastries weren’t clearly labeled vegan/not. Good vibe, a few outdoor tables, but weird hours.

Frappes not vegan

We had their frappes two times because their menu states that 3 of their flavors can be made vegan. After we ordered them twice we were informed that they are not actually vegan. We also had their breakfast sandwiches a couple times and they left off the sauce they second time. I appreciate that they have vegan options but their consistency is lacking.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the confusion regarding the vegan frappes and for the inconsistency with your breakfast sandwich order. Your experience is important to us, and we're committed to ensuring that our vegan options are clearly communicated and served consistently every time. We’re actively working with our team to prevent mix-ups like this in the future, so thank you for bringing it to our attention.

My hotel near Nye Beach had no healthy breakfast options, not to mention vegan options. This place was a life saver! With delicious, healthy food and a cozy atmosphere. Lots of different milk options available and a delicious ginger spice latte. Yumm! Thank you!!

overall excellent

From the super friendly baristas to the welcoming atmosphere to the wonderfully crafted vegan bacon bagel, this place is charming for sure. The bagel itself wasn't the best over ever had (closer to store bought than New York deli) but it had a good flavor and complimented the filling well! They were happy to substitute red onion for tomato and to switch from a plain bagel to everything for me too. Comes with chips and a pickle spear.

Vegan bacon bagel

If you're vegan it's likely that this cafe jumps to the top of your "Repeat" list. Try vegan bacon bagel or vegan breakfast sandwich, because we loved it!

Bacon in the bagel has a look of thinly sliced prosciutto, not like greasy overcooked bacon. Marble patterns on bacon are mesmerizing. Flavor - oh, you gotta try to believe it. Sharp salty goodness of bacon without nastiness. That, and fresh slices of tomato, crisp pleats lettuce, and avocado cream are all smooshed between, surprisingly fluffy, bagel buns. I savored every single bite. Oh I'm civilized enough to let my hubby try a bite. Goodness needs to be shared. One bite. The rest was mine.

My hubby chose the breakfast sammy. His first impression? Sausage was perfectly seasoned and really hits him home. This sausage was as good as the vegan banger we loved during our London trip. (Side note: level of vegan food in UK is out of the world!) Waffle is an interesting twist but he enjoyed the sweet & pillowy waffle mixed with spicy sausage sensation.

We sought after this vegan cafe during our OR trip. So glad to go extra miles to experience delish foods while watching ocean waves rolling. Thanks chef. Great job!

Food - On point. Plus, small Grab-n-go options.
COVID care - Eat in OK. Served in to-go style. Somewhat limited space to ensure social distancing.
Atmosphere - Hip, urban, casual.
Service - Polite but not personal; it could well be their efforts to ensure minimum contact for everyone's safety.
Parking - Park free by the museum on Beach Dr (which loops) and walk 30 seconds.
Bonus - Adjacent gift shop is neat.

Updated from previous review on 2020-08-18

Pros: Vegan menu clearly noted, Many vegan drinks / milks

Cons: Hard to find on GPS as the beach drive loops., Street parking only

Thank you so much for your incredible review and for going the extra mile to experience Ultralife! We’re thrilled that both the vegan bacon bagel and breakfast sandwich hit the spot for you and your hubby. We’ve worked hard to craft vegan options that are full of flavor, and it’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed the taste and texture of the “bacon” and sausage in each bite.

We're glad the cozy atmosphere and our efforts to prioritize health and safety made you feel comfortable, too. Your thoughtful feedback truly means the world to us and inspires our team every day. Thank you again for sharing your experience (and for sharing a bite with your hubby!). We hope to welcome you back on your next trip to the OR coast!
