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.
