What a gem! We were in Newport overnight, and as a vegan, I had done some research prior to our stay on vegan-friendly restaurants. This one was new to us since our last time in Newport and we will definitely go back.
The atmosphere was adorable and playful, the service kind and welcoming, and the food delicious and fresh. We got the avocado toast, the “egg” sandwich with coconut bacon, the chickpea sandwich, and a Matcha Lavender tea. Next time we go we will get the bowls, but we liked the items we got, since we don’t always eat
those items at home. They were all delicious.

The food is amazing and the service is outstanding!! I was Visiting from NY and was told I could pre-order for the sabbath saturday meal and prepay on Friday. What a pleasure and ease it was. Called on Friday and placed my order for Saturday at 12. Arrived and sat down and was served a delicious meal. The service was really top notch. I was so so pleased with it. I will be surely telling everyone about this great option!! I will surely be back soon. And the food was delicious! We had the avocado toast, east bowl & oatmeal

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!

The best vegan restaurant in Newport with an innovative, healthy menu — real ingredients, really delicious. The “just egg” breakfast sandwich with coconut bacon has ruined us for other vegan breakfast sandwiches. “Banana almond joy” toast is incredible. The avocado toast puts others to shame. And excellent coffee and tea. On top of all this “good for your body” food is a “good for your soul” atmosphere of kindness and gratitude that emanates from the owner and staff and is amplified by the customers. I wish this restaurant existed near me!

We went here twice during our recent trip - we keep kosher and this is the only kosher place in Newport. It was SO delicious! I had the arriba bowl, the Cobb salad, the Greek bowl bowl and the ciao Bella sandwich. My husband had the BLT both days because he loved it so much. The best was the ciao Bella! The vegan mozzarella tasted exactly like regular cheese! I wish we had a place like this in NY! Can’t wait to come back! The owner was also incredibly nice and friendly, and the food came very quickly.

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!

Wonderful food & atmosphere. Very cozy & welcoming.
The avocado was amazing & the BBQ jackfruit (not pictured). I also had the Orange Ya Glad juice which was so refreshing & tasted amazing. It didn't taste "healthy" by any means if you worried about that.
We are coming here again tomorrow before we head back home from our trip!

We did the cliff walk early in the day and found this place in the afternoon. We ordered the Avocado Toast (pictured) and the Chai latte iced tea. The gentleman who took our order was really nice and we asked for a cup of ice water (being tired from the walk) and he brought us an extra just to be nice! It is always nice to see good service - I feel like they did a great job making us feel welcome and the avocado toast was delicious! Certainly hit the spot! I would highly suggest this restaurant to people in the area!

This plant based Restraunt right on Broadway with amazing coffee and a wide variety of options for a breakfast is a must try.
First off, ownership is so warm and welcoming! They thanked everyone authentically for coming in and making an order on the 5th of July. Their passion and drive to serve the community with their kindness is so clear and heartfelt.
The smoothies are terrific and well priced and feel free to add to them with their options. I went with the seaside with some pea protein and my fiancée went with the awakening. Delicious and filling. The best part was that the cold brew coffee

You know what they say...you are what you eat. If you wanna have a healthy meal and a boost in energy, go to this place. We got a green juice and a grain bowl. Green juice was a bit sour; they should use sweet apples instead of green apples. We ordered the Arriba bowl and the Greek which hit the spot. Everything was fresh and the service was fast. The place was also very clean and they disinfect all the tables. I wish they had a place like this in Manchester, NH!

Was looking for a healthy breakfast spot and this place had a delicious "breakfast egg sandwich" the coconut bacon and faux eggs were hard
To tel a difference from the real thing.
But did spend 40 bucks on a coffee, two sandwiches and a green juice which is absolutely insane to me! Not the restaurants fault entirely but it would be nice to see a healthier restaurant not break someone's wallet.

Nice place, friendly staff. I had the Awakening smoothie which was delicious. Family had avocado toast and the frozen Cocoa bowl. The smoothie was lovely. The bowl was a blended banana bowl and the bananas weren't blended enough - 2 huge chunks. It was just okay. Coffee was not warm enough. But having said that I liked Root. Had to go back the next day to get the awakening smoothie again

A must must must. Root is AWESOME! The food & smoothies are absolutely delicious. We were on vacation and came here 2 days in a row. In person and one time to go and portions were both good. Everything seems so fresh and so healthy. We only got to try a few things but if I'm ever back in Newport, we will be back to try more!

I ordered the arriba arriba! bowl and it was better then i expected. the pickled jalapeños were the absolute best part.

Great bowls. My fav is the Glow Bowl:
white beans, shredded beets, shredded carrots, sweet potato, red cabbage, golden raisins and hemp hearts with brown rice & avocado herb dressing. They add curly kale to the bottom of the bowl & put rice or quinoa on top. Delicious, fresh & filling. Good balance of all ingredients. Consistently yummy.
They also serve an awesome maple walnut blondie. Root is in my rotation for lunch every week!

I've always been a person who loves vegetables, but as I've gotten older, I've wanted them more and more frequently. I'm definitely not scared of kale, and I love the opportunity to substitute beans and rice or other legumes like lentils instead of meat options. Because of this, we were motivated to find some vegetarian/vegan options and just happened upon Root.
When we arrived, we were surprised at how many people were there. Seating is limited, but the place was packed. We sat awhile and looked at the menu and then decided to both get grain bowls and a fresh juice. I ordered
