Thorn Roots - Burlington

Read the previous HC review and was weary about trying this place but figured we’d walk by. The menu was extensive and looked delicious. When getting our food, we were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes and quality (especially after Juice Amour). The three of us had the Salmon Toast, Asian Salad (super delicious), Classic Açaí bowl, Kale smoothie and Green juice. All in all it was $59 (not including tip). A bit pricey but everything on Church Street is. Would go again. Updated from previous review on 2021-07-23

Eating was amazing, they have so many options and must be vegetarian or vegan!

This is a fast casual, counter service place with indoor and outdoor seating. It's centrally located in the Church Street Marketplace, an outdoor mall (row of shops several blocks long). There are extensive vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I'm vegan and gluten-free, and was excited that their menu had options that were both. The girl at checkout didn't know if their gluten-free bread was vegan or not, so any of the toasts were out. So I ordered a Pitaya bowl, which was was awful. They added so much lime juice that it tasted like limeade, not like pitaya/dragonfruit. They added granola, coconut flakes, pineapple, and peanut butter. Lime, pineapple, and peanut butter are all awesome flavors...but just don't go together. My friend had an avocado toast that was much better. It was on multigrain bread (she's not gluten-free). Maybe their quinoa bowls or farro bowls are better, but we didn't get a chance to try those.

Good smoothies and the impossible bowl was great, not a grain bowl tho, just greens. Staff very friendly.

The restaurant finally responded to my review after 7 months, mirroring the slow service I experienced during my visit.
