Roots Plant-Based Cafe

Mixed review- The chickpea curry burrito was amazing; large portion and full of flavor. The service…not so amazing. The woman at the front (wild guess) was the owner, came across dismissive, preoccupied and in a rush. She asked if I could pay ahead because she had somewhere to go.

Just stopped in with my sister before our drive back to Chicago and man oh man do I wish I came here sooner! We waited a bit only because they were out of an ingredient but they kindly offered to make it for us with just a bit of wait which I was okay with! I got the hibiscus ginger juice and wow, straight kick on ginger it was amazing! They were out of desserts which only tells me good things about this place and how good they must be! I immediately inhaled my food (I got the cheeseburger + sweet potato fries) the lady at the front was super nice and had a lovely aura to her. Such a gem this place🫶🏼🌱

Yes! I gave the 5 stars! The food is delicious, the service is top notch - reminds me of the old days when the owners/employees knew their customers. I thought I was eating chicken on my plant based alfredo (it was not) I had stir fried collards (spicy), all I needed was some corn bread and mac&cheese (they have, but I have not tried - YET!) I had a mango smoothie bowl for breakfast this morning - great way to start your day! I have tasted all of the juices -ALL OF THEM also delectable! If you have not already - you should go and try anything on the menu - you will not be disappointed! Below are pictures are of the chicken alfredo and the vegan burger!

I'm soooo happy to have discovered this place on my way to Florida. Thank you for being open on Christmas Eve and serving healthy delicious food! The smoothie bowls and wraps are delicious and Ms. Debra was super kind! Mush love! ✌️😋🎸🍄

I wanted to give this a 5 before I even visited. Sadly, I've visited 3 times within 2 weeks and was disappointed each time. My disappointment is related to 2 things: 1) the service is poor. The woman, who I believe is the owner is uninviting. She treats you like she doesn't want you there and like everything is a hassle; 2) lack of items on the menu. When you ask for certain items, that should be on the menu that day they are either all out or in too much of a hurry to fix the more complicated items. Because of the low resources (staff and food) and the less than desirable attitude, I haven't tried much there. What I did try, I liked: the burger and the fruit juices. I really hope the owner gets some help. It's sad to have such a nice restaurant where there's a market for, but not enough help. Oh, it also isn't good that they are closed Friday through Sundays. I may try again in a couple of months to see if anything has improved and if I can improve my rating.
