Had a great lunch experience at Craft Roots over the weekend. We grabbed a table outside since the weather was perfect and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was also good. Coming to the food: Thai peanut glass noodles were delicious and packed with veggies. Buffalo cauliflower was disappointing and had a very odd taste. read more

I have to say this is a must try if you want to be blown away with what is possible. I'm a carnivore and this restaurant could easily convert me to plants. I'm still stunned how good the burgers and pizza are and honestly I call it Vegan Black Magic because it's not just good it's honestly better tasting than some of my favorite burger joints. We tried out the California buffalo wings yesterday and they absolutely popped. If you're still on the fence: Frozen cocktails on an 80 degree day is going to make for a great experience. They offer great outdoor seating, service is fast and you will be blown away by the dishes they create. My girlfriend shared a slice of her pizza and it was absolute ! read more

My original choice for dinner fell through one afternoon after a day at the beach. Yelp to the rescue! After looking up nearby places I chose craft roots. 5 stars I was intrigued, first the old town feel in a very nice area I was seated right away the menu was very extensive and had many choices and all vegan! I ordered a "chicken" sandwich and a beer the sandwich was more like a burger it came with fries & small side salad it was very good and filling. The vibe was absolutely amazing the staff members seemed to be having as much fun as the diners. They had a good mix of people families, large parties and couples they have outside dining as well as inside. You can't go wrong here but since the menu is so big you may have to eat here a few times to find your favorite dish! read more

We just hit town and were looking for a nice place for a late lunch and Craft Roots filled the bill. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of beers on tap. I opted for the Pliny the Elder Did I mention this restaurant is Vegan? It is and fantastic. I had the Fiji apple and fig salad and my sweetie had the Caesar salad which had some amazing grilled mushrooms! They have so many options and have a brick pizza oven and lots of interesting choices to try there. Can't wait to go back next time we're in town. Highly recommended read more

The food is amazing!, and I highly recommend this family establishment!! The Thai peanut glass noodles are a must!

We love Craft Roots. Great for Vegans and Omnis. Sandwiches, Macaroni and Cheese, and the Lasagna! YES Please! We loved our delicious meal on the patio with our pup and our friends raved about their food. Such an amazing lunchtime experience. Totally worthy the drive for us from Salinas, and for them from Santa Cruz. Our server was so gracious with us, as we were there to have a relaxed meal and spend time catching up with friends. We ate heartily and enjoyed our time together in this awesome town setting. Oh and the drinks and desserts are awesome too. read more

The food is so tasty, I came 2 days in a row. Icy was my server. Super nice and explained the menu. And she remembered my name! My favorite was the Japanese Cauliflower. And really, everything was good. 1st day, I had the Japanese cauliflower and teriyaki bowl. 2nd day, I had the chili fries (this sauce is vegan? Yes) and Korean bowl. The owner said hi. He's hard working. Never sat still. He's definitely a working owner. Maybe this is why this restaurant is so good. He talked about the Maitake burger. Will have to try it next time. The dishes were so inviting, I dug in before taking a picture. Apologies. The dish will not look as good. Btw, nice size dishes! read more

This place was so fabulous, so happy our friends found it for lunch. The parking structure was nearby so it was pretty easy. The restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait for too long. There seating in the inside and the outside as options. Our waiter and the staff were friendly and really great. The food was absolutely delicious! The pizzas had a nice touch and were flavorful. The appetizers and portions were great. We really enjoyed our fried chicken sandwich. It was super crispy and the flavor with the condiments were great. Absolutely recommend! read more

Driving through town, craving a great beer. Our local was closed. Now what? Let's see what YELP has revealed. There in the review, Russian River Brewing Company, ON TAP! Check the menu, let's go. What a great welcoming locals hang out. The entryway is steep, wouldn't recommend crutches or a wheelchair, use the side entrance. Once inside, a few tables, a bar for about 8, television on in the corner and a wood burning oven all aglow awaiting the next paddle of dough. The mood was laid back and comfortable. This was our first time in a total vegan restaurant. We had already settled on a great beer, now what do we eat. The menu has something for everyone. We settled on the cheeZe pizza. A handmade, wood fired pizza. A little skeptical, how will vegan cheeZe taste? DELICIOUS!!! The perfect amount of tomato sauce, a robust pesto and some of the cheesiest cheese ever! Nothing to take home but a warm feeling and a full belly. We enjoyed so much, we came back again. We had half cheese and half "meat." We will look for something like this close to home. Until then, a great place to share and remember. read more

Wow!!! Food was delicious and service was amazing. I had a few friends who are not vegetarians said it was a must try. We had the corn ribs, BBQ Mushroom Pizza, Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and more.

Craft Roots - Nashville chik'n sandwich - Bars Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Roots on the Ground 100% vegan restaurant located in Downtown Morgan Hill ironically next-door to the Meat Sweat Paradise, aka Trail Dust BBQ--which the owner of Craft Roots used to manage for ten years. The brainchild of local couple Justin and Nysaa Gaich, Craft Roots has been serving up delicious seasonal creations using the freshest local ingredients and a sophisticated bar menu to go along with. The Good: *It's vegan without pushing the whole radical vegan agenda that some places do. They're just focused on the food and that's as it should be. *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Great selection of local brews on-tap *Reservations thru the Yelp app, as well as a Yelp Waitlist *Menu changes seasonally *Service on both our visits was outstanding. And our recent server, Isolyn, was excellent; friendly, genuine, and attentive. *Loved the flavor and char on their pizza crust that had a nice chew to it. *Their Fried Cauliflower bites are fantastic; we've had both the Buffalo and the Korean BBQ ones and they're both fantastic. Just depends on how you're feeling: heat or sweet heat. *Nashville Hot Chi'kn was hearty, crispy and had a decent spiciness. *Fries are fucking delicious. Crispy, fluffy, and well-salted. *Carissa loved her Power Bowl which reminded her of a really flavorful fried rice dish. The Meh: *Pizzas are delicious but be prepared for an extra wait, so pro tip: if you want pizza order it asap. The Ugly: *DT Morgan Hill can get busy at certain times, so parking can be an issue. I did see a parking garage nearby but I'm not sure if it charges or is free. Conclusion: Fantastic vegan eats, service and ambiance in one of our favorite Downtowns in The Bay. Highly recommended--and this is coming from a big meathead! read more

Absolutely loved this place! I stopped in for some appetizers and was pleasantly impressed. The chili cheese fries and buffalo cauliflower bites were both full with flavor and perfectly cooked. You'd never guess everything here is vegan. I'm a carnivore and I was blown away. The beer selection is fantastic too, with plenty of local and craft options to pair with your food. Great vibe, friendly staff, and delicious food that anyone can enjoy. Highly recommend! read more

Maybe I should have read that this spot is full vegan, let me break down everything we had and how it all faired in all actuality 3.5 out of 5 stars for this place We sampled the cauliflower deep fried with heavy seasoning white and green sauce were offered we likes the white sauce better then the green not quite ranch sauce but it was delicious We sampled all cheese pizza the pizza was thin and the cheeses were ok cut into 6 small slices The magheriti pizza this was surprisingly good, also thin crust the cheese oddly not filling but it tasted delicious my son sampled their burger he ate half and stated it had a weird after taste after biting down, sample a bite and yes the patty did indeed have and odd after taste to it a round of two orders of fries those were finished within the first few minutes of the plates being set down we also ordered the Caesar salad sadly it never made it to our table I guess next time we will have to sample it. ordered 3 drinks two beers on tap 2 of the beers i sampled were exceptional #2 i believe on their menu that day similar to a hef and the second i believe the got wrong which was supposed to be something similar to a guiness but i got something completely different The wife got a drink as well she said it paired well with everything we sampled. On a whole the food was good just for us palate wise we are not use to eating just vegetables, other then my wife and she stated everything was just ok lol If you want to try vegan this spot in Morgan Hill probably best try to venture out of different type cuisines but if you truly are meat eaters this is not the spot for you Food *** Drinks **** for the hef variant, the other drinks were just ok Price $$$ Service ***** very helpful staff very friendly staff explained everything on the menu Ambiance ***** very clean, semi bright, open and good energy walking it read more

Craft Roots - Menu 2 of 6 - Bars Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

As a person who enjoys meat regularly, up until recently I'd never tried a vegan pizza until I paid my 1st visit to Craft Roots. I was skeptical but open minded, as my friend raved about the food here. Now that I've done it, I'm pleased to report that the mushroom pizza with vegan sausage they serve here is not only delicious, but it's impossible to tell simply by eating it that the pie doesn't contain either diary or meat. The portion size was decidedly "personal pizza" sized, but it completely hit the spot and I left feeling both full and satisfied after our meal. Whether or not you are a vegan, I have no doubt that if you pay this place a visit, you'll find something both delicious and satisfying on their menu :-) read more

Maybe it's because I'm not vegan but I normally do enjoy vegan and vegetarian dishes. I had the mushroom burger and it was truly just a fried mushroom between 2 buns. Maybe something I little more creative and of substance would be great. We all left hungry and a bit deflated. read more

First and foremost, service was excellent; Ms. Christine ( did she say, Christie?!) was very hospitable, she welcomed my wife and me with a smile when we had reservation for a party of seven, but our guests arrived late. The appetizers and food we ordered, were all quite delightful and graciously served! We are vegans and thoroughly enjoyed Craft Roots' ambiance and vegan food and beverages ! read more

Love this place! Great service and vegan food!!! The cauliflower appetizers and the sandwiches are the bomb!

I really wanted to love this place because the food was honestly amazing no complaints there at all. Unfortunately, the service from our server, Cassidy, was one of the worst I've experienced in a while. She came across as irritated from the start and consistently acted like doing even basic parts of her job was an inconvenience. There was a noticeable lack of attentiveness and professionalism that made the entire experience feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. It's disappointing because the restaurant clearly has the potential to deliver a great experience, but service like this brings everything down. Based on the reviews, I expected much better. read more

The food and service at Craft Roots is the best! I love the South County pizza with mushrooms, leeks, garlic, and crispy onions. So good! Today's dilemma: I'm not local but was passing through, didn't have time to dine-in, and wanted the South County pizza to go. Problem is it's fragrant and I didn't want my new car to smell like garlic after the 90-minute drive home. Solution: The folks at Craft Roots had the genius idea to par bake the crust with toppings on the side so I could finish it at home. Result: Everything worked out perfectly! After adding toppings, I gave the pizza 10 minutes at 425 convection and it was amazing! Plus, my car still smells new. Win-win! Thank you so much for accommodating me today! I've been craving this pizza for months. read more

Food: Mac and cheese 4/5 There's a strong tomato flavor which was pretty unexpected for Mac and Cheese. The noodles have a bouncy chew and the sauce doesn't feel overwhelming rich. Greek Burger: 4/5 This burger tastes like a falafel. It tastes fresh and tangy with a bit of creamy texture. The bun is soft and you're able to eat the burger without making a mess. Salad with Citrus Dressing: 4/5 I normally don't order salads but I was feeling like I wanted to be " healthier". To my joy, the salad is pretty good! The citrus dressing primarily tastes like lemon and the salad didn't taste bitter at all. I'd get this salad again anytime. Service: Quick and friendly! Ambiance: The interior feels warm and cozy, like a place you'd go after a long day of work. The patio dining is a bit limited in space but it's a great location for people watching. read more

First time here - I love when restaurants come up with creative vegetarian dishes, or healthier options, so had to give this place a try! I was here at 2 p.m. on a Sunday, so it wasn't very crowded, likely due to our timing. It is a small space, but it appears to also have some outdoor side seating. It was a 99 degree day, so we sat indoors, which was a bit warm, but bearable. I had the Korean BBQ tofu rice bowl dish. It was too spicy for me. It was tasty, other than being a bit too hot, especially on a 99 degree day. That made it not very enjoyable. I had asked the waitress if the Teriaki bowl dish or the BBQ dish was more popular, as I said I love the flavor of Teriaki and BBQ sauces. She told me if I love the sauces, then the BBQ dish was the way to go, as it had more sauce. It may be my fault, as I don't know if Korean BBQ is typically spicy. I love sweet BBQ sauce. So, it depends upon your preference. Next time I'll try the Teriaki! It was quite noisy inside, even though it was during an off-hour. I couldn't sit across the table from my friend, as we wouldn't have been able to hear each other, so we sat on a corner of the table. There was a dog inside, which some people may love; having a sister that is deathly allergic to animals, and having one in a small enclosed space where they are serving food, is not what I enjoy with a meal. I may be in the minority, but after seeing what someone's dog did in a grocery store the other day, and the owner just walking away, I don't think that is where dogs should be. I would come back and try a different dish, as I appreciate having many non-meat options. The waitress was friendly, and the place definitely has promise. read more

5th time here in one year, loved it every time. Good friend needed to eat here due to celiac, thought I was just being nice but never thought how much I'd enjoy eating this food. I then brought my kids, my granddaughter, and finally my wife. Side note, when I brought my oldest daughter a few months ago, she said "WHAT, they only serve Vegan food here?", "How is that possible that my husband ate here and loved their burgers!" Her husband MUST have meat in every meal - he had no idea when he ate her that it was a Vegan restaurant! The service is top notch. If you reserve a table ahead of time they write your name across a large rectangular sign and prop it up on a holder at the table. Food is always fresh, abundantly portioned, and delicious. 5 times in one year, Vegan to boot, speaks to how much I would return and would strongly recommend. read more

The Good: Great ambiance, and great options for vegan, vegetarian, and sober/dry/straight-edge folks. Tasty Jambalaya, Salads, and Pakora Burger. The Not So Good: Lackluster service and inconsistent food and drinks. I enjoyed my Pakora Burger with side salad and the Jambalaya a lot, but the pizzas were a little one dimensional flavorwise, and that flavor of faux cheese was a little overpowering for the non-vegans at the table. While staff were courteous, the jambalaya took a long time to come out. So long in fact, that most of us had already finished eating by the time it arrived. The good news is that staff apologized for the snafu and took the jambalaya off our bill. I had a Zero Things Green cocktail, which was okay, but I didn't love its rather one-note green taste. The Mule was also an okay drink, but lacked flavor and was a little overpoweringly sweet for our tastes. That said, I'd be willing to give Craft Roots another chance sometime, given the uniqueness of finding a Vegan restaurant in the South Bay. read more

Needed some lunch in Morgan Hill and the Yelp reviews of this place were really strong. So I had to check it out. The Dose Wood Fired Pizza: 5/5. Probably the most flavorful veggie pizza that I have ever had, but with very simple ingredients. I suspect there were a few extra ingredients added than what I saw on the menu (maybe thyme). A real winner! read more

Delicious vegan food in a fun outdoor picnic table setting! It's on a cute downtown Morgan hill street with twinkling lights and large picnic tables for outdoor dining. They have gluten free options which is great. The crispy mushroom burger with a gluten free bun is incredibly delicious! They have tofu nuggets and fries for the kids, a lot of different drinks to choose from, a Japanese cauliflower dish that's good. We also enjoyed the chili fries! Yum. The parking was free at a public lot nearby and there is also free street parking. The staff was friendly and very cool! I like the knife stuck in a box of cauliflower on the kitchen counter. Cool hip vibe. read more

The best Nashville Chicken Sandwich I've had in a long time is the vegan one at Craft Roots. It is an amazing taste and texture experience that is hard to beat! Fair warning it's spicy!

So glad I found this place on Yelp while driving through the Bay Area. Love that everything on the menu is 100% plant based and that they offer so many dishes with fresh ingredients along as there are way too many places that just make vegan junk food. Street parking was easy and we were able to sit outside with our dog. They have a dining room inside as well. The server was friendly arriving right away with water for the humans and fur baby. Super friendly waitress...and the food - WOW! Highly recommend. We loved everything we ordered. The buffalo cauliflower bites were bomb - the best we ever ate. Crisp texture with the tastiest sauce. Also enjoyed the fall salad with Brussel sprouts, butternut squash, kale and walnuts all dressed in a beautiful maple sherry vinaigrette. Lastly, we tried the chipotle mushroom wrap made with battered lions mane mushrooms which came with fries so of course we had to try a side of their housemade Bourbon BBQ sauce. Yum. So wish we had places like this in Sacramento. read more

We stop by Craft Roots whenever we're in the Morgan Hill area because the food here is amazing! The restaurant is located in downtown Morgan Hill on Monterey Road between 3rd and 4th St. Street parking can be tricky but there is a large parking structure on 4th St. Their extensive menu consists of a large selection appetizers, salads, "burgers", wood-fired pizzas, and sweets. Yes, they also have a kids menu! Upon walking in the restaurant you can smell that smoky goodness coming from their wood-fired oven. I'll definitely try their wild mushroom pizza the next time I'm here They aren't on DoorDash or offer any online ordering for togo orders so you'll need to call it in, the old fashion way. All the employees I interacted with were welcoming and friendly. At this last visit we ordered their: bakon wedge salad - This romaine lettuce was freshly tossed in ranch dressing, blue cheese crumbles, tomatoes, onions, and Thrilling bakon. What an amazing salad!! The bakon tasted so real too! Korean BBQ Cauliflower Bites - Since we ordered togo, the sauce they normally toss it with was on the side along with a side of their kimchi aioli. How did they get it so crunchy? This was so delicious! Can't wait to go back to Craft Roots! read more
