The staff were so friendly and polite especially the Arab lady she gave us free Caesar salad because we were only asked about it and then we decided to not order it, then she brought it to our table to taste it!🙏🏻

If you work downtown and are looking for an actual healthy lunch spot, your prayers have been answered...LOCAL ROOTS IS THE BEST! They have incredibly fresh options for salads and sandwiches. They have rotisserie chicken going all day and cut it up right in front of you, it's so fresh and yummy! They also have the same for steak and salmon. I was really looking for a place where I could get some chicken and healthy sides and this is it! They also have a great selection of fresh made juices, oilipops / poppi drinks (literally every flavor), desserts, and chips! On top of it all, the staff is SO NICE and hardworking...you feel so good supporting this family business. I look forward to seeing them almost every day for lunch...my go-to is a cesar salad with chicken! You're welcome to advance ;)

Great little cafe run by great people.
It’s open early which is perfect if you’re traveling here from the east coast. Great smoothies and breakfast sandwiches.

Local Roots was awesome. Open early and the service was excellent. I did only get a smoothie but it was so good that I came back 3 days in a row while on a work trip.

Took me 3 visits / meals to figure the style. I enjoyed locally rooted, but not mediterranean & superfood.
The portion size is large, which I think demands more dressing.

So good but takes forever to check out after you have food in hand. Standing here with a bunch of people that just need a to pay. Strange place to bottleneck.
This place is a hidden gem in San Francisco! It’s a family-owned business, and you can really feel the love and care they put into everything—from the warm welcome when you walk in to the way they make sure you’re happy with your meal. The food is absolutely delicious, fresh, and made with attention to detail. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why it’s so important to support local, family-run places. They truly go above and beyond to take care of their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend you give them a try!

Local Roots is a great spot downtown for lunch. The food is delicious and feels so healthy. The wait can be a bit long because it’s often packed, but it’s worth the wait. Or, plan ahead and order online!

A couple of friends and I went to Local Roots for lunch today. We all ended up ordering the Monster burrito special. In many ways, it is just a regular burrito; rice, black beans, chicken, white cheddar, salsa, etc. wrapped in a spinach tortilla. But there are also some differences. The ingredients are fresher than a lot of cantinas, and there it is noticeably less salty. You can also change things up a little; add some fresh spinach, or cauliflower, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The dining area isn't as loud as a lot of the other lunchtime spots in downtown. The service is also friendly and fast.

Really good, whole food near Fi-Di. The meatless meatloaf is a good option for vegetarian (veg) folks, and there's a wide array of options for anyone. Fast and decent prices.
