Root

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.

Even if you aren’t vegan, this is a really, really good summer lunch option. We got the chickpea salad sandwiches per recommendation and added avocado - so flavorful, overflowing with filling, and the smoothies were amazing too. The vegan chocolate chip cookies are chunky and full of chocolate. 10/10!

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.

Awesome place. So glad this place exists as there's not a ton of healthy offerings in the area. The owner Paul is so nice and his staff is so friendly. I'm always greeted with a smile. I especially love getting a juice from here after yoga around the corner, but from time to time I'll get a smoothie or the coconut bacon BLT. The BLT is just as good as real bacon, I think there's some kind of black magic involved in the recipe. The atmosphere is nice, especially sitting out front and watching the people walk by. Very enjoyable on a nice sunny day.

We loved Root so much that we ended up going there everyday for breakfast during our trip to Newport last month. We tried The Awakening and Seaside smoothies, oatmeal, avocado toast and chickpea salad and BLT sandwiches. Everything was delicious! The staff is hard working and friendly. The service was always excellent and Paul took the time to come over to talk to us and thank us for supporting his restaurant. Please give this hidden gem a try!
