As a plant based eater, I 've tried to make myself love this place on more than one occasion. I 've been disappointed almost every single time. While the wait times aren 't ideal, I would be able to tolerate that for high quality food. Unfortunately, Rootbound does not meet that criteria. Three times I 've ordered a waffle and every single time the waffles were both burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside with next to no flavor. I 've had to go back to ask for a full serving of their overpriced kombucha when the pour was embarrassingly low. Their juices are fine. If you 're going there for a juice, okay.. In addition to the waffles, their other main dishes left a lot to be desired. I think this place is more of an idea that was poorly executed than an environment worth visiting. High costs, bad food, long wait times.
I got the black bean burger and it was delicious and fresh. Best GF bread I've ever tastedI LOVED the cold brew coffee such a great flavor even without sweetener!
Literally my happy place, the vibes make you feel so happy and at peace. The food is absolutely amazing and the people are some of the coolest! They have live music and a swing and they have books you can read! Absolutely adore!
