    Banh Mi Bowl with Vegan Chicken
    Petra E.

    We LOVED this place. If you're trying to eat healthier but still want delicious food this is it. They have both meat and vegan options and we went broadly vegetarian with the Banh Mi Bowl with vegan chicken and the Chipotle Avocado and Lime Bowl with seasoned tofu. Both were fabulous. We also had a latte with soy milk but there were lots of different milk options to choose from. Parking is street parking or one of the nearby lots which is what we chose. It was pretty busy even in January so I'd be prepared to give a few minutes over to parking but it's worth it. You can order at the counter or through a kiosk. We tried the kiosk but oddly it doesn't seem set up to give you a receipt so I would order at the counter next time. The staff were very nice about following up to get me my receipt but I think they just need to configure the system a bit more. Whether you order at the kiosk or the counter you take a number and the staff will bring you your food. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the dining area spacious and comfortable. There are quite a lot of good things to choose from on the menu so it will probably be returning next time we're in Newburyport to try and test out a few other items.

    Pesto salad

    Love this place! One of my go tos when I want something healthy. I love rotating through the salads. This time I went with the pesto salad

    Regular Latte

    Tried this spot the other day for the first time! So glad we did. The inside is very clean and spacious with plenty of tables. They also have a little area with couches and chairs. The menu has enough variety of savory and sweet for everyone. I decided to do the strawberry waffles. They came out within a good 15 minutes of ordering. You get 4 crispy, delicious waffles which come with real syrup. I love that they're GF as well! My coffee was excellent and my dad liked his latte (he's very picky with them). The fresh pressed juice is yummy too, they are $10 but the bottle is a good size. I will be back in the future to try everything else on the menu.

    Strawberry Matcha
    Katie C.

    Very cute and modern on the inside. The woman taking our order was very nice. Our order came out quickly. I got an iced strawberry matcha (pictured) which was as delicious as it was pretty. My friend who frequents this place often says the earl grey cookie is the best vegan cookie she's ever had. My husband got a fresh pressed dragonfruit lemonade for $9 which I felt was pricey.

    Vegan Vegan Southwest BLT with a chickpea salad

    We came here on Mother's Day around 1 pm to pick up some food for take out. Unfortunately they were sold out of many items on the menu. That made sense though since it was Mother's Day and the restaurant was packed. What I was frustrated about was how rude the cashier was to us. She wanted us to leave (it felt like) and any time we would ask a question she gave us so much attitude. I asked what the fake bacon was made of in the vegan blt sandwich I ordered...she proceed to flip through a binder fast and said she didn't know the answer to my question. She finally asked another sales representative who was polite and gave us an answer that was reasonable. I know it can be stressful when the kitchen is busy and most items are sold out, but you still need to treat your customers with respect! The sandwich itself had a lot of potential but was unfortunately dry. I wouldn't order it again and prefer Clover's vegan BLT sandwich way more!

    Bahn mi tofu bowl
    Daniel C.

    Nu Kitchen is a small chainlet of restaurants in Worcester, Somerville and now Newburyport, and you would compare it to veggie forward casual cafes like Life Alive which has taken over Boston. I wanted to like this place because I'm a huge fan of grain bowls but today it fell flat. We came on a beautiful Saturday around noon so pretty busy, I ordered the banh mi tofu bowl on the touch screen pad in the store, then grabbed a sticky wooden stick with a number and waited for quite a while at an unwashed table. (Lots of bored teen staff loitering around but seemed like they were all new/training?). The food was pretty good but heavy on pickled red onions and cucumbers, and if there was any tofu I couldn't find it. Hoping to return on a day when the place gets cleaned up and will try one of the other bowls.

It was a very intimate experience dining among two other couples ( with three tables inside, Valentine's Day was fully booked! ) Here is what we enjoyed: - Roasted beet, radish, cucumber and snap peas crudites with a fava pate and malawach - Creamy and crispy potato puffs with spicy zchug - A bright and dreamy wedge salad with mushroom bacon and fried shallot - A savory tomato sunchoke soup with artichoke heart - A surprise ravioli and with a warming cream sauce - And choice of dessert, I had a bright lemon tart cake with and my husband had the amaro blonde sundae Dan @rhinokey, the @gossamerdram bar room operator, is a master with his cocktails, sourcing from, supporting local and small businesses where possible.

Well, we were served with a delicious piece of cake. Every bite made you come back for more. If I was asked about something to improve, my only recommendation would be to make sure the waitress describes the plate when served. At least the time we were there, that was not the case. Looking forward to coming back soon!

It took way too long to receive our burger and chicken tenders. It's because they were sitting for so long and the burger was not even warm. It had absolutely no flavor. It was advertised as caramelized, onions, Swiss cheese and grilled mushrooms. I only realized now that I received red onions. It was such a disappointment, but I was hungry. It was only remarkable in how remarkably tasteless it was. The service was just abysmal. It was Sunday afternoon around 1pm - 8/16. We had to flag our server down and she was not even friendly. She never said thank you when she handed our receipt. We received our cold meal and we had no utensils or napkins. It took us some time to flag down someone. We had to ask for ketchup and there were no other condiments. It was just terrible. I could not believe the 2.6 rating. It is very believable now. This is just poor management. The location and the restaurant are simply beautiful. It's a large bar with TVs that have the Red Sox on. A very good live singer entertained. The views of the harbor are wonderful. It did not make up for the gaps. I hope someone invests the time and leadership to elevate this experience.
