Roots Plant-Based Cafe

Don’t come here for vegetarian burger or most of their plant based food. Not legit.
The service was great and the people kind, the natural fresh juice was the best thing I enjoyed!
My low rating is because I am vegetarian and the food they offer for plant based are mediocre and over priced, I am so disappointed that most of it is not even homemade and I regret paying $20 for a veggie burger with nothing else with it either fyi, and the bread was starting to get old, where it just fell easily apart as I ate it. ($20) gone on 1 low class burger.
They also were short on food items and didn’t have many options nor chickpea dishes on this day.
However I think that their other non plant based food may be really good!
But don’t come here if your looking for vegetarian.

An interesting plant based option in Byron. Don't be fooled by "Dine in option". There are three 2 place tables stuffed to the side of a fairly small waiting area. My wife and I had a plant based burger, (which they said they had one left) and a veggie chicken burger. We wanted sweet potato fries, they were out. We wanted avocado, they didn't have any. Ok food, slow service, but if you want plant based...it's ok.

Didn’t get a chance to taste the food because I arrived at 11:02am when they’re already supposed to be open for business. So if you want to eat here definitely arrive later than what they say their hours are. Business owner should have been at least one hour early to prepare everything if they say they open at a certain time. Not start preparing when it says it’s open for business.

I wanted to give this a 5 before I even visited. Sadly, I've visited 3 times within 2 weeks and was disappointed each time. My disappointment is related to 2 things: 1) the service is poor. The woman, who I believe is the owner is uninviting. She treats you like she doesn't want you there and like everything is a hassle; 2) lack of items on the menu. When you ask for certain items, that should be on the menu that day they are either all out or in too much of a hurry to fix the more complicated items.

Because of the low resources (staff and food) and the less than desirable attitude, I haven't tried much there. What I did try, I liked: the burger and the fruit juices.

I really hope the owner gets some help. It's sad to have such a nice restaurant where there's a market for, but not enough help.

Oh, it also isn't good that they are closed Friday through Sundays. I may try again in a couple of months to see if anything has improved and if I can improve my rating.

Mixed review- The chickpea curry burrito was amazing; large portion and full of flavor. The service…not so amazing.

The woman at the front (wild guess) was the owner, came across dismissive, preoccupied and in a rush. She asked if I could pay ahead because she had somewhere to go.

Delicious plant-based food just off I-75. Large portions, too. I had the Sweet&Sour Vege Chicken which came with rice&beans, plantains, and a delicious vegetable mix, Glad to find this vegan friendly place near Macon.

The burger tasted artificial. I’ve had way better couldn’t even get past one bite.The service was not cool didn’t smile seemed aggravated.The atmosphere was hot as seeing and I was the only person in there won’t be going back.

i looove vegan food, so i was excited to try this place out. it took them 45 minutes to get our food out (this is supposed to be a takeout place?), they gave us the wrong food (despite them saying they could only make 1 thing because they were going to close in an hour… now how does that make sense?), and the food was almost unpalatable. i’ve been a vegetarian for 7 years, so i know good veggie food. this was worse than high school cafeteria food. i wish i could give them 0 stars, but i’ll settle for 1. also, wayyyyy too expensive! this place is a rip off

Never bought from here but Wish they were organic I would be here everyday !!

I eat here a minimum of once a week! I’m very particular and they meet my needs when I make certain requests! Love the Jamaican flavors in the rice and peas and the coconut curry sauce. My favorite meals though are the burritos. Specifically the chickpea one, but if they don’t have the chickpea available the lentil burrito is just as good. The tahini sauce is the real star of the show. Fresh sweet and citric flavor with a creamy consistency! I’m so in love with this sauce it’s so addicting I ask for 2 every time.I have also had their lasagna it’s very good, but a little too Smokey for me in flavor. My baby loves the spaghetti and meatballs. I have also tried it and I can’t believe they don’t have meat in them.I didn’t like the Mac and cheese. It was very stiff and dry. The sautee collard greens are so perfect!!! My favorite juice there is the pineapple ginger.My only issue is the chickpeas are not always available and the tahini sauce isn’t always available, but I’m a loyal customer and they have great choices when these are not available. I get the cilantro lime ranch when the tahini is available!All in all, I trust that I can leave with a meal satisfied regardless of any conditions. Great customer service. I look forward to trying new things and broaden my pallet on vegan food!
