    Mocktail
    Dong Wook C.

    4.5 stars. I can see why this place is a neighborhood hangout. Staff are very welcoming. Never had a bad experience here. In addition to the bar, they do have tasty appetizers. Enjoyed their pizza. Lots of patrons coming here to socialize. Really like the friendly ambience. Street parking can be found on Monterey Road or any of the perpendicular streets nearby. There is a parking garage a few feet away as well.

    Thai Peanut Glass Noodles

    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.

    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!

    Delicious food, excellent service, nice atmosphere. Beautiful photography prints inside. An all vegan eatery with excellent drink options and a pup-friendly patio, what more could you want? On our way home to the central coast, we finally had a chance to try out this spot that a friend had been raving about on her travels. We were greeted promptly at the door and sat outside with our two dogs. Amanda, our waitress, brought us water and a bowl of iced water for our dogs. Sun was pretty intense on the patio and it was an 85 degree late afternoon; flies were a plenty. Food arrived fresh, hot, and so so good! We ordered buffalo cauliflower bites, Mac and cheese, and a Caesar kale salad. We also ordered two guava cocktails (had just planned for one, but it was perfectly frozen and good flavored) and a root beer float. Ordered dinner & dessert for dinner to go. Staff were attentive, friendly, and overall great experience! Please consider expanding to SLO! We'll be back the next time we pass through MH.

    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.

    Chili Cheeze Fries

    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!

    Caesar salad
    Dan T.

    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

    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.

    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.…

    My husband and I decided to come here on a whim. We were staying in the area for the weekend and…read moredecided to try this place out based on the reviews and we were not disappointed.. well, my husband was with his steak but for me, my meal was absolute perfection! We got seated outside and immediately got the bread with garlic and olive oil. It was delicious! We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and the portion was decent. The sauces were both spicy which we loved! If you're not a spicy person, may not enjoy them. The calamari had an even ratio of rings and tentacles. The breading was light and the calamari tasted delicious and fresh. I decided to go with the Fettuccine al Pescatore and I was blown away by everything about this dish. The pasta was delicious and a very generous portion. The sauce was amazing with a spicy kick. The seafood was a generous amount and tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. As I was enjoying this meal, I looked to my husband and said "this is one of the best meals I've ever had!" My husband got the ribeye steak and it was over cooked. He didn't enjoy it and complained quite a bit as he ate it. I told him to send it back but he just ate it. It took a while to get the server to come back to give us the check. We had to chase him inside the restaurant to pay. Ambiance is very laid back. Small indoor seating space but felt stuffy. Outside seating space with heaters. Outdoor seating was nice especially with nice weather. Saw a lot of locals coming to the spot. I will be coming back to enjoy another delicious meal.
