    This second visit was night and day compared to our first visit. Everything and everyone was on point. Cassidy (sp?) was a pleasure to meet and took great care of us. Our appetizers and entrees arrived in a timely manner and everything tasted great. We will definitely stop by the next time we're in MH!

    Returned for lunch after visiting once last year, glad we did! * Parking: Dedicated multi-story lot right around the block, super convenient. * Location: Cozy footprint with indoor & outdoor (sidewalk tables & dedicated alley) seating options! * Staff: Kind, attentive, super-fast. Thank you, Nicki! * Eats: We tried the C.R Burger & Bourbon Bakon Burger - both delicious to the very last bite! * Drinks: Great range of beers on tap, bottles, cocktails, & wine. We had tasty Lager & Pilsner. Tip: Not a vegan or vegetarian? You don't have to be to enjoy Craft Roots' delicious eats - it's super tasty food across the board! We'll definitely be back to try more dishes & drinks.

    The food is always bomb for a vegetarian place. We are not vegetarians but just love the food and pizza here. They also have CBD drinks on tap. Service is always friendly and fast.

    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

    Chili Cheeze Fries
    Rachelle O.

    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!

    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!

    CheeZe and pesto pizza
    Michelle B.

    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.

    Margarita pizza
    Rebecca C.

    Great service, great food, cool vibe! I was so skeptical beforehand but I loved Craft Roots so much! The kombucha was amazing, the margarita pizza was pretty good and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer is a MUST have!!! I appreciated that they had gluten free options as well.

    this place is awesome! large patio for dogs. we are visiting from out of town and ate here twice in the span of a couple days. food is fresh & you can tell how intentional they are with their ingredients. the service is great, both our servers were super friendly and they gave us water for the dogs too! Nice AC inside and overall just a chill place. highly recc the chocolate mousse, nashville hot chikn sammie, beet salad, caesar salad, garlic knots! anything with their mushrooms is fantastic.

    Brian W.

    Absolutely spectacular, fully plant-based restaurant in downtown Morgan Hill. Service is super friendly and the food is SO good. Now I have to figure out reasons to drive 45 minutes to get here again and again. Good beer selection as well. It's heaven on earth!

    Hibiscus Elderberry Tea - Unsweetened ($3)
    John D.

    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!

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Teresa C.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Craft Roots

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes, the whole menu is or can be substituted to gluten free. Our frier is dedicated gluten free. So anything fried is gluten free. We have GF buns, pizza crust, and flatbreads. Just make sure to tell your server.

    Is this all vegan food?

    Yes, 100%.

    For someone with some hearing issues would it be better to be inside or outside on a Saturday for lunch?

    I think outside is better. The inside is small. It may be noisy.

    Is there a happy hour?

    Hello, No Happy Hour at this time but stay tuned for a Late Night Happy hour on the weekends. We will post on social media when we go live.… Read more

    Kelly Brewing is truly one of those places that works for any vibe -- group hang, date night,…read morefamily outing, or even a solo trip. It's locally family-owned and operated, and you can absolutely feel that welcoming, community energy the second you walk in. They've got a solid lineup of beers on tap with some house staples (Farmer Nelson IPA is my personal go-to) plus rotating options that keep things interesting -- we especially love the seasonal sours. They also have sodas and chips, plus their own craft root beer, which is a fun touch. There's always a food truck parked outside (except Mondays), and we've consistently had great meals to go with our drinks. The space itself is a win: bar seating with purse hooks, several large indoor tables, and a large outdoor patio. Inside you'll find two pool tables, shuffleboard, a video game area and board games. Outside there's ping pong, which makes it extra fun for groups and kids. They also have large restrooms with baby changing tables.

They even let us bring in pizza from down the street to enjoy with our drinks. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, plus a cozy little couch area to hang out. In the back, they have a couple of pool tables if you want something to do while you sip. They're definitely dog‑friendly, too. One of the coolest touches is the artwork on the ceiling, inspired by the owner's favorite record albums. They were setting up the stage for live music while we were there, unfortunately, we had to leave before the show started. They host a lot of events, including food trucks, which is always a bonus. Their beer selection is wide, and they offer samples so you can find the right fit. I tried the Farmer Nelson Hazy IPA and really enjoyed it. Their pours come in UK pint sizes (20 oz), which is a nice surprise. My wife had the Go Nuts Cream Ale and loved her pick as well.

We started with Sangria (both red and white) and tho I like the white a bit more, both are really good. We also had the "a little bit of both" share charcuterie, and that was much more than expected! Not fancy, but 2 cheeses, 2 meats, assorted nuts, olives (have pits be safe!) and grapes with a few slices of a nice crusty bread and these really good large cracker type bread that was just perfect to have with our sangrias. We sat outside while a great local band played, the heaters were perfectly warm, nice string lights, and a good atmosphere. We also ordered a coffee and a beer later on, but I forget what kind of beer. Was good, I just don't recall the beer or ale. Staff was pretty attentive most of the time. The reason for not 5 stars: while I was in the industry for almost 50 years, our server seemed to get bored with us at some point and we had to flag her down. It was busy so I understand but the attitude changed a bit. Also, we wanted an item on the menu from The website and it wasn't available as the website wasn't updated. Minor issue, but the server seemed annoyed. Next time I keep the menus so that doesn't happen again. Still, totally worth the visit and since I live in the area now I would love to become a regular! Next time I want to try the flatbread

We were promptly attended to by both Cristina and Melanie, who provided us with the menu and shared some background about Vera.

Our meals arrived promptly. I enjoyed the Yuku Salmon Bowl, which was delightful and refreshingly fresh--I cleaned my plate! My daughter had the appetizing Ahi Tuna & Saba Noodle Bowl. We concluded our meal with Profiteroles, which were bite-sized caramelized puff pastries with the perfect amount of sweetness. Complimentary, custom-made flower arrangements were beautifully crafted by Dani, who helped make our dining experience at Vera memorable. I would like to give compliments and a shout-out to Cristina, Melanie, and Dani for their excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend Vera Restaurant as a must-visit eatery. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and, most importantly, the excellent food!
