1.) the food is pretty good, but some of the dishes lack flavor and are not prepared thoutfully. such as an uncut cesar salad with stale chickpeas, and the full rind. Other dishes like the crab cakes were good aswell as the drinks. mushroom sandwhich had too much bread, and it was bland and greasy. 2.) service is good, but almost seems fake and too routine. 3.) Ambiance is nice and comfy. : so why 3 stars? We got 2 small appetizers, 1 salad, and 1 Entree, and 1 drink. This added up to $120. When the food is mediocre, and this expensive it is a real shame. I wont want to come back until things change. As a vegan myself I really hope blossom and root can change and improve there restaurant. :) read more

I bought their smashburger two weeks ago and it was so delicious. This week I tried the fried tofu and bought another smashburger, it was so delicious. I am not a fan of tofu, but I will definitely buy it again. The service is amazing and the atmosphere is great! This is an all vegan restaurant! read more

This was our third time here, all of them excellent experiences so I was compelled to submit a review. We have gone with friends and family who range from vegan, to "don't ask don't tell vegan", to vegetarian, and vehemently NON-vegan, and every single person has loved the food. Even the deserts, which are sometimes lacking at plant based restaurants, were all incredible. The service was perfect and prices are reasonable. A location in Lafayette would be very welcome. read more

This place is a great option for a weekend brunch in the Downtown Danville area. The atmosphere instantly gave me "farm to table" vibes. Almost comparable to Wildseed in Palo Alto/SF, however not quite as modern. It's a quite small space but there are tables indoors and outdoors (with space heaters for cold weather). Servers are very polite and are pretty prompt. As for the food, we got the mushroom "steak" salad which came with mixed greens (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish) and maitake mushrooms with crumbles of vegan "blue cheese" and crispy strips of onion. This was a huge serving so splitting it among 2 people is totally doable. We also decided to try the BBQ funghi sando which came with crispy mushrooms, smoked provolone, crispy onions, jalapenos, and BBQ sauce inside 2 warm, fluffy buns. Both items were very delicious, the star ingredient was probably the maitake mushrooms - the texture was just right and they came in generous sizes. Overall, I highly recommend this gem of a spot if you are craving a creative vegan/vegetarian cuisine using fresh ingredients! read more

New favorite place! The staff are the most friendliest people and the restaurant itself is so cute. I love the decor and table settings and am in awe of how delicious the food is. The mac and cheese was unbelievable. I couldn't believe there was no actual cheese. My maitake mushroom sandwich was perfect. I loved the mushroom, the sauce, the slight sweetness of it and the kale salad was great to pair along with it. The strawberry cocktail had fresh strawberries from their garden out back and I loved it. My husband loved his burger as well. I cannot wait to come back and try the other menu items. Perhaps, we'll come back for dinner next time :) read more

Blossom and Root is a sunny and uplifting dining experience. Staff are extremely friendly and organized as a team. They all worked together to make sure each table was taken care of properly. Joe our server expertly paced out our meal, allowing us to savor each bite. To drink, we began with The Mermaid, the Chai Espresso Martini along with Crispy Rice & Mushroom Lettuce Cups. My husband said that the first course was 500 times better than he thought it was going to be. The drinks are creative, playful, and delicious. Our lettuce cups with the killer au jus had simple flavors that danced together brilliantly. It lit up our appetite and curiosity. We were ready to try more from the menu. Next, we shared a bowl of Mushroom Chowder along with the B&R Smash Burger accompanied with coleslaw. Too bad we were seated near people because we wanted to lick the plates clean. Again, everything was well thought out and executed. We appreciated how folks came to fill up our water without asking and never rushed us. Joe our server was very friendly and welcoming. For dessert, we went with Joe's guidance and had the Chocolate S'more Mousse along with 2 cappuccinos. What can I say, other than to quote my husband who said, "This is the best vegan meal I have ever had--and I am a meat man!" Thank you, Joe and everyone who helped mad this afternoon out tasty and memorable! read more

This is my second review because it's THAT good. I'm so happy we found this hidden gem that is 100% plant based and has many gluten free options! We came on Easter Sunday excited to eat brunch but the host told us it was only reservation only due to the holiday. Thankfully the waitress, Hannah, over heard and sat us in her section. Hannah is absolutely exceptional! I appreciate her going out of her way to get us seated even without a reservation. Everything we ordered was gluten free! We got our daughter the gluten free Mac and cheese but they accidentally brought out one that has gluten. Hannah caught the mistake and kindly changed the order. The crab cake sandwich was well executed, but the gf bread was a little "doughy" in the middle. Hannah took it back and brought out extra crab cakes for us. Again, she is amazing for going above and beyond! We've been here before and the food is always amazing! I know this is their first day doing brunch and I was told they won't do it every weekend, but I hope they do! I also hope to see some gf pancake options in the future Highly recommend this place! read more

Really great food! I am so excited I found this place. I have issues with dairy and wow, I was able to enjoy an amazing espresso chai martini, great mains, and a chocolate mousse and apple crumble for dessert - I never get to eat dessert out! Exceeding our expectations even for my dairy meat eating husband. He loved the food as well and that's saying a lot! read more

We dined here today for the first time. We asked the waitress if they were able to accommodate food allergies such as gluten allergies. We ordered items on the menu that were labeled as gluten free options and let the waitress know that all items had to be gluten free due to severe allergies. We were assured all items would be gluten free. When the server brought the Cesar salad he told us "here is the Cesar salad, gluten free with no bread crumbs". We ate several bites only to realize that the Cesar salad had bread crumbs on it. We informed the waitress, who asked the kitchen, and indeed the salad was not gluten free and was sprinkled with bread crumbs. This is a severe allergy for which the diner eating the gluten will become extremely sick. In addition to this, several items that were ordered never were delivered to our table and we had to ask several times where our items are, only to find out the kitchen never prepared it. Terrible dining experience. If you have food allergies, stay away from this place!! read more

Vegan? Are you sure I am going to like it? Being a picky eater comes with many challenges and I have to say that Blossom and Root delivers. I had the best sandwich (Crispy Funghi Sando) I've had in Danville in the past year. I can't wait to go back! read more

Overall, it was great to try something different and meatless. This quaint place in Danville features a few delectable vegan dishes. We tried the Mushroom Toast, Tofu Katsu Sandwich, B&R Smash Burger, and Lemon Chia Pudding. Overall, we enjoyed the Mushroom Toast, B&R Smash Burgers, Mushroom side soup, and Lemon Pudding. Service was excellent. The only issue was the limited menu items and cozy feeling of the seating arrangements. In some ways it felt a little too close. Overall, it was a nice change in pace and cuisine. read more

What an amazing addition to Downtown Danville. The food, service and ambiance are absolutely incredible. They offer a plant based menu and have a penchant for transforming fresh produce into the most delicious creations. Their beet carpaccio for instance - mimicking a meat carpaccio involves taking thinly sliced red and golden beets and plating them with fresh fennel, freshly crushed nuts and ginger tahini. My favorite on the table! Their mushroom burger was perfect! Using not portabello but pieces of fried enoki mushrooms. You can request it with a gluten free bun. Another highlight of our meal were the crab cakes also made with varietal mushrooms and the chocolate smore dessert. Literally could have tried the entire menu! Would definitely return for brunch - they said they were working on a brunch menu. read more

Been meaning to try this place since It opened it August. It's been so popular it's now open for lunch. Better have a reservation for dinner. This is more than a raw veggie and tofu green juice cleanse type of place. The decor is charming and stylish, it's like Anthropologie opened a restaurant. The dishes are artfully plated and inventive combinations of flavors and textures. The portions are extremely generous. We were so full we could not enjoy dessert but I saw several that I wanted to try! Will be back soon. What an inventive and interesting addition to downtown. Love it. read more

Blossom and Root isn't somewhere I'd come back since the high price didn't particularly match up to the experience. But overall, it was still a decent meal. The food is very pretty, and I'm glad to have tried this restaurant out once. Our waiter didn't check on us, and when we asked our waiter to recommend a wine, he flat out said "the wines aren't good here" which was a little surprising. The cocktails didn't particularly blow me away either. Service from the bartender was fantastic though! He brought out complimentary champagne as an apology for things taking so long, and he was super friendly. The masa cake was enjoyable, I recommend this one. But the burger was disappointing. It completely falls apart, the cheese sauce isn't too good, and the "maple mustard" tastes like any plain mustard. The lemon chips appetizer had a good flavor but it was hard to stomach how oily they were. For me, the dessert was the main highlight. Fantastic chia pudding. read more

This is a brand new vegan restaurant and at the time of our visit, it had only been open a few weeks. My friend wanted to check it out since there aren't many vegan restaurants in the area. She is vegan, I am not, but I was game to try a new place for a girls night out. It was a Wednesday evening and we arrived for a 5:30pm reservation. The smiling hostess greeted us as soon as we walked up and was very friendly. It's a super cute and inviting atmosphere. The front of restaurant has a nice outdoor patio area with comfy outdoor furniture and fire pit tables. I believe the building used to be an old hotel so the inside is small and quaint with a good use of space. The weather was warm so we chose the outdoor dining on the back patio which was perfect. The menu is not extensive, but there are still some nice options to choose from. We started with the lemon chips and dip. If you go here, and you like lemon, do yourself a favor and order these! They were unlike any chip I've ever had. They were deep fried (not greasy) lemon slices, not tart, but very rich in flavor. The dip was like a pesto aioli with a cute little edible flower and presentation was everything! For drinks, we both went with the blueberry basil soda. It was cool and refreshing. I didn't really taste basil but it was served with a basil leaf garnish. For the main course my friend ordered the fungi sando which was like a vegan burger. It looked great and she was happy with it. I got the Maitake steak salad. There were so many wonderful flavors and it was very filling. We ended the meal with a lemon chia pudding that we shared. I've never had chia pudding before and as it turns out, I'm not a fan. I did like the lemon taste but I just couldn't get past the chia part. My friend loved it though. Throughout dinner, our waitress was attentive and a gentleman, whom I believe was the chef, stopped by our table to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Before we left, the owner even came by to introduce herself, engaged in brief conversation and thanked us for coming in to dine with them. My overall review....This place is a little pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion. It is a must for vegans in the area or even non-vegans like myself. Food is fresh, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. I will be back! read more

I confess, I'm not a vegan. I even operate on a hypocritical sliding scale of morality when it comes to eating animal based substances. However, this is t just superb vegan food- this is hands down one of the BEST restaurants in Danville. Their food is creative, indulgent, delicious, and has some of the best flavors and textures of any food I've had. Their summer menu was fresh and celebrated seasonal ingredients, their fall menu CHANGED and likewise made satisfying dishes that paired with cooler weather and harvest. Tonight though, was amazing; how one can create a VEGAN Swiss menu that is both true to the cuisine of the country AND sans cow-based proteins and fats had me dubious, but I was thrilled. Amongst the superb dishes was potato rosti, FONDUE (though it might better represent raclette in presentation,) even a molten chocolate lava cake so decadent it rivals any I've had - even at Roy's. If you CAN get in to try this Swiss guest chef's delicious menu, DO. Otherwise, stop in for the regular menu which is just as delicious. In particular, the mushroom sandwich and grilled Cesar salad keep me returning for more. read more

Such a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance is fun and lively, stylish decor. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess, and quickly brought to our outdoor patio seating. Our waitress Sierra was delightful. She gave us a complete review of the menu. Such interesting choices. Started with a rice lager and beet Bellini. Next we enjoyed the fried fritters. Very tasty. Nice sauces. Next was the Masa cake seen in photo. Very flavorful and filling. Perfect complement of sauces and beans. Grilled Cesar salad was delicious, and also got the poke bowl. Finished with the chocolate chip cookie. Everything was spectacular. So happy to have this option in Danville. read more

Blossom and Root Kitchen - Masa Cake - Vegan Near Me - Danville, California

This place is incredible. The food is so amazing. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the prices are absolutely outrageous. I understand inflation, but they are only in business to serve the rich. $27 for a bean burger. $12 for a 3 ounce pour of desert wine. I respect what they're trying to do here, but they are only in business to cater to the wealthy San Ramon Valley clientele. Love this place, but I was actually embarrassed eating here because of the prices. read more

Lovely ambiance and super friendly staff. My daughter enjoyed the tofu lettuce cups that came with an abundance of fresh lettuce and mint along with a salty sauce for dipping. Grandpa enjoyed their veggie curry- which is a high compliment since he's eaten numerous curries. Husband ordered the crab cakes which was a little on the small size. Okay for him but probably not for our teenage son who wolfed down the hearty tofu bowl along with his favorite house-made soda. I had the mushroom "steak" salad with fennel that exceeded my expectations. It didn't seem to come with a dressing but was flavorful enough to not need it. The mushrooms were served hot over the cold greens which was a nice touch. It also came with crunchy fried onions which leant a nice crouton effect. The salad was large and could probably be shared if one isn't too hungry. For dessert we enjoyed the carrot cake that came in a jar parfait style. Not too sweet and a little sour. Also enjoyed was the chocolate mousse with extra chocolate chunks at the bottom of the jar. The chocolate chip cookie was served warm and brought back pleasant memories of my own grandmother's freshly baked vegan chocolate chip cookies from long ago. read more

This restaurant is fantastic and does not disappoint on ANY level. Service - super friendly and informative. Ambiance - gorgeously decorated, cozy and modern. Love the unique dishware and straws (yes, I speak of the very cool different-colored metal straws). Food - EVERYTHING we had was superb. Very well thought out and completely delicious. It pleased my entire party (of all ages and food preferences). Overall, this place is a MUST TRY! read more

I wanted to try this place because they have a good selection of gluten free options. Their cocktail was hands down one of the best I've ever had. I got a French chamomile. I highly recommend it! I only tried one dish as I was by myself. I ordered the kale pasta. The presentation was nice to look at but it was a bit flavorless and too sweet for my taste. I would come back here again just for the French chamomile drink though. It was truly that good! read more

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened, but had not had the chance to try their brunch menu. Yesterday I finally did along with my daughter and niece. I was not disappointed!

I highly recommend Blossom and Root. read more

My wife and I have been waiting for this place to open for quite some time, so it was very possible that we would be disappointed (with great expectations can follow great disappointment ). We also went with our two young boys, who are used to the likes of Benihana and MOD pizza, so the fully plant based menu had us somewhat scared we would have to feed them a second dinner when we got home. Happily, we all loved Blossom and Root! Here is what each of us loved: 8 year old - he loved his coconut milk + lime mocktail, the jam with the bread plate, the grilled sourdough, the olives, & the edamame from the Poke bowl. He thought his mac and cheese was good too, and that says a lot coming from someone who has had a lot of mac and (animal-based) cheese. 10 year old - He is the least adventurous eater of us all, but he loved the grilled sourdough, the rice and ginger sauce from the poke bowl, and he found the lemon chips curious but tasty. Wife - She ordered half the menu, and really enjoyed the seed bread, the Poke bowl (which she demolished, I didn't even get a taste ), and the Masa cake. She didn't love the B&R burger - she may hold the cheese next time. Me - I didn't really not like anything. My favorites were the Gazpacho, Farsotto, and the Masa cake, but as someone who hardly drinks, I also loved the Watermelon sangria. So we will be visiting again! We also had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to the owner after our meal. She was welcoming and gracious and I love that she has used her personal experience making amazing vegan food for her children to open Blossom & Root. read more

Great clean food. I can't eat shellfish (gout) so the crab cakes were a blessing. Love this place.

We had a small wedding reception (under 40) for our son and new bride at the beginning of October 2024. Service was excellent and the staff did everything to make guests feel welcome.

This place is up there with Millennium EASILY and no long trek or searching for parking around College avenue!

We visited for dinner and loved the restaurant so much that we returned for breakfast. I had the Banh Mi bowl and it was mind blowing (flavor wise) to say the least. My husband had Pasta Puttanesca. Both were flavorful with a slight spicy kick. For breakfast I had pancakes and my husband had scrambled tofu, potatoes (out of this world!) and toast. I would say that dinner was spectacular and breakfast was very very good. We would return in a flash next time we are in town. read more

Two of us waited 40 minutes for a table and ended up leaving. Was added to a waiting list that I could see on the open table link they sent me after being told there would be a 5-10 minute wait. Two other tables of two were added to the waiting list after us, then seated after us. The waiting list was then updated and then I was left to be the only one on the waiting list, when I was the first one on it. Stay away unless you have a bunch of time to waste. read more

I selected Blossom and Root as a member of our party was vegetarian and often doesn't receive a remarkable meal. I, as a non vegetarian (please read on...), was amazed at the use of not just vegetarian, but vegan cooking to deliver a fantastic meal. I highly recommend their "Steak" salad built with maitake mushrooms as their version of steak. I was so impressed that I booked a table and brought some non-vegetarian friends to experience Blossom and Root and they also really enjoyed their meal. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in a really healthy vegetable based meal. I doubt you would be disappointed. read more
