Pleasant and cozy, if a bit small. Service can be a bit slow due to the number of orders but that's to be expected from the only pure vegan place on the UCSD campus. The food is good and flavorful. I don't really recommend the desserts since they're a little mediocre but they're still solid if you really need a sweet.
Vegetarian options: Not just vegetarian but all vegan. No meat or dairy at all and it's still really good.

I LOVE ROOTS. As a vegan there are little to no other options on campus in terms of food. So appreciative of the designated plant based dining hall. I eat there basically everyday and I’m so hyped that they change the menu every academic year.

All the other restaurant food are kind of... meh? Like they put slightly too much filler into their food.
However, the food here actually made me feel something. I ABSOLUETLY LOVE THEIR BURRITO!!! THERE IS ACTUALLY CONTENTS INSIDE!!!!!!!
Just, maybe don't get the pasta if you aren't a died-hard vegan, but a lot of stuff on here is REALLY good.
