I was in the area so stopped in and was so happy I did! I started mid morning with the Clarity Mocha with lions mane, ashwaganda, cacao, cocoa, and cold brew coffee. It was super chocolatey and delicious! I worked for a bit and then thoroughly enjoyed a Koji Salami sandwich. It was so delicious! The only thing that was slightly off was no AC on a very warm day. They have a very large fan but it just kept getting hotter and hotter.

Hands down one of my favorite vegan stops in San Jose. The menu is simple, yet the combos are mixed so well that the bowls are absolutely delicious. I ordered the Cosmic Dream 3.0 and Lavender Matcha Latte, both of which were so yummy that my husband had me go back to surprise him with a drink. I ordered him the Collagen Fuel Latte with coconut milk, oat milk, beet, reishi mushroom, cardamom, MCT oil, and it comes with Oatly.

The acai is pure, with no added sugar, and not mixed with any fillers. Highly recommend this place! And the staff is super cool and down to earth.

I recently visited RAW, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Here are the main issues I encountered:
- Service: The service was extremely slow. We had to wait over 30mins for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. The staff seemed uninterested and unresponsive when we tried to get their attention.
- Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the restaurant was also a concern. Our table was sticky, and the utensils were not properly cleaned. The restroom facilities were in poor condition.
- Value for Money: For the price we paid, the experience did not match the quality we received. It felt overpriced considering the poor service and food quality.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I hope this feedback helps RAW improve. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place based on my recent experience.

I can't stress out how great the service was, I basically fainted and the nice person working there helped me regain my consciousness, dropped my drinking during the process and they offered to remake it which was great! (❁´◡`❁)

They have 5 different options for burger patties! I had the taro patty with jalapeno toppings. It was excellent. I enjoyed the pistachio matcha latte as well. Will definitely be back!

My husband left his review already, but this place was so good I felt it warranted a second review from our household. ? Everything was so good we went back the next day to try more, and it totally lived up to our first visit. The adaptogenic mushroom toast was phenomenal, and our 15-month-old daughter loved the omega 369 smoothie. My only disappointment is that we aren't local to the Bay Area, so we have to get our fill for the year until we come back next summer.

The BEST vegan restaurant I've ever been to. The food is so fresh, and the recipes are extremely tasty. The drinks are great as well. The menu has so much on it that I can't wait to go back and try something else. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful as well. The Bahn Mi with Koji turkey was UNBELIEVABLE.

I didn't know what to expect the first time I ate here but I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. It's very calm and inviting and the team is really kind and thoughtful. They offer Prime Roots in several sandwiches, I always order the Koji-ham or turkey Bánh Mì. It's ? and I eat every single bite of it with zero regrets. The backstory is pretty amazing as well so there is a real foundation established with what they are doing and I love that! Lots of locations throughout Northern California. Yummy smoothies and bowls too.
