Lovely smoothies and snacks. Great fuel for the next adventure! One of many spots that make this little town worth the drive. You won’t be disappointed. Arrive by noon to ensure you’ll find a parking spot. There’s some great outdoor seating options and the staff is extremely bubbly and welcoming. Offerings rotate seasonally and it’s definitely worth a quick stop!

We went here for a quick bite before we continued on trip. We tried the buffalo tempeh and hibiscus kombucha. It was really nice. We enjoyed every bite of it and the kombucha seemed fresh. The only compliant was that there were a lot of geckos there and I was really freaked out by them jumping and fighting around us. But food was really good.

Nice place and incredibly delicious vegi food!!???
We had lunch at Roots Alchemy today. Food was absolutely fantastic. I had the Sarah's salad (vegan) and my husband had the BBQ tempeh sandwich (vegan). Both were truly excellent. The owner (Luke) was wonderful and explained how he sources the food and how he is supporting the local community. We are looking forward to coming back for Vegan Night!

Lovely hidden spot for vegans & vegetarians!

Amazing, fresh, flavorful vegetarian food (and everything can be made vegan!). Great drinks including natural smoothies and homemade jün (similar to kombucha but sweetened with honey, delicious!). The place has a covered outdoor seating area that's pleasantly breezy and has a great atmosphere. The owner is super kind and you can see he puts a lot of love making his food.

We tried the matcha, kombucha, and assorted chocolates. Everything is unique and delicious. The owner brews his own kombucha and has interesting flavors. Our daughter devoured the chocolate balls and we loved the superfood chocolates.It's wonderful to find a place that has great vegan options on this part of the island.
