Roots Natural Kitchen

Roots Natural Kitchen is a refreshing and health-focused option that doesn't sacrifice flavor for nutrition. The atmosphere is bright and clean, with minimalist decor and a focus on quick service. Their menu is centered around customizable grain bowls, featuring wholesome ingredients like quinoa, brown rice, roasted sweet potatoes, red cabbage slaw, chicken, tofu, and a variety of sauces. I ordered the Southern bowl and added roasted chicken and extra avocado. The textures were incredible—warm grains contrasted with crisp slaw and crunchy chickpeas, all brought together by a zesty cilantro-lime dressing. It was both filling and energizing. What sets Roots apart is the transparency of ingredients and the ability to build your own bowl without feeling overwhelmed. Everything feels fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully sourced. They also offer vegan and gluten-free options, making it inclusive for various dietary needs. Service is fast, and staff are helpful when you have questions or want to substitute ingredients. Though the space is more functional than cozy, it suits the grab-and-go crowd, especially students from the nearby university. Prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes and quality. Overall, Roots is a go-to for anyone who wants a healthy, customizable, and satisfying meal on a busy day without falling into the fast-food trap.

Very good food with a lot of gluten free items.
