Ultralife Cafe has two locations in Newport: one is a drive-thru location conveniently located off Highway 101; the other is a full cafe just steps away from Nye Beach.
They serve a variety of beverages such as espresso drinks and smoothies along with fresh baked goods and light brunch items. In the evening, they offer an extensive cocktail menu as well as beer and wine.
Their Brunch Menu features a variety of hearty and healthy items including many options for vegetarians. Start off your morning with the Vegan Bacon Bagel, Super Oat Bowl, Acai bowl, or Vegan Breakfast Sandwich. Meat lovers will also find plenty of options such as the Ultra Burrito With Bacon or the Ultra Turkey Bacon Bagel. If you’re in a hurry, grab one of their prepared items in the rotating cold case to-go, or a fresh pastry such as a doughnut or cinnamon roll.
The Cafe At Nye Beach has indoor seating as well as a few outdoor tables overlooking the water and the beach. Inside you’ll also find vintage records and a variety of Ultralife merchandise for sale.
By the evening, the cafe serves cocktails of all varieties. Stick with one of the classic cocktails like a martini or Old Fashioned, or try something new with one of their Ultra cocktails such as the Espresso Martini or Marionberry Mule.
Their drive-thru on Highway 101 serves a slightly varied menu with equally delicious options. They offer an assortment of bagels and burritos, oatmeal bowls, and parfaits. If you’re not a coffee drinker, they also make delectable smoothies and shakes, fresh chai tea, and green tea lattes.
Ultralife Cafe has also opened a location in nearby Toledo. For more information, and to see their full menus, visit their website.
