Thank you, Nikita! My husband and I worked at a couple of Michelin star restaurants when NOVELLE…read moreCUISINE was all the rage. It was an exercise and torture. I'm sure you've never heard of him because you're too young, but we worked for JAQUES MAXIMUM. A little Napoleon that could get the same results even better results without screaming constantly! Nothing like being the only woman in the kitchen and having a bunch of Frenchman, screaming obscene words at you in both English and French. Why I tolerated that I still don't know I really wanted to learn. I was on the line with Alfred Portale, and was his commis. He opened his extremely successful restaurant after Jacque decided he had had enough and went back to France. He came every two weeks straight from the airport and started screaming before he even saw anyone down the long hallway. I'm truly not kidding. Alfred warned me don't look the CHEF in the eye. I think that's the first thing he ever said to me. Then the Anita Hill hearings happens and the backlash was incredible. They would sexually harass me every day and then ask me was I going to sue them? I'm not a violent person, but I felt like taking a kitchen knife and never mind. This was my first job in a good Kitchen and the manager had cocaine running out of his nose when he was telling me that I was only worth three dollars an hour. I didn't go to some fantasy school. I went to the school of hard knocks. My husband and I spoke to Mark a very nice guy, at least to us. Most people don't want to get any feedback and that's a big mistake. We gave him. Our feedback thanked him and left it at that he thanked us as well. We really were restaurant consultants. It's so easy to see what's wrong in the kitchen and what's dangerous in the kitchen at first glance and then when you dig deeper, oh my gosh, it's a wonder we even eat out anymore. If people saw what went on behind the scenes, they would never ever eat out, but we know ROOT 2 RISE is not we repeat not like that. You also sell some great crackers. We can't find anywhere else. We kept the box it is called BETTER BUCKWHEAT. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND NOT TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. I think someone might be making mistake when stalking the shelves for crackers and other snacks. Two wonderful ladies were sitting right in front of where the snacks are and when they started looking, we found a few items that are not vegan at all. We don't know how to send this privately, otherwise we would. Phone is terribly compromised. We love your Restaurant and wanted to succeed more than you can believe. We both have been vegan since 1996. We were both vegetarians at about age 11. We really appreciate your great work. Sorry we are terrible at technology and also the phone. She ain't so great.

The menu is a little limited but my hope is they'll expand it a bit in the coming months, I know it's not easy staying afloat amidst Covid. Show your support, if you can!

I stopped by for the first time yesterday and was honestly a little overwhelmed by the massive variety of smoothies and add-ons. Pressed for time, I went with the Lemon Ginger Spinach veggie blend, recommended by the incredibly helpful and patient Courtney. I couldn't have been happier--it was the perfect sweet and refreshing post-workout recovery blend. Impressed and wanting more, I used their app to order the Gladiator Chocolate smoothie for pickup after work... and wow--so chocolatey and decadent! Prices are super reasonable for the portion sizes, and the convenience is unmatched. Definitely my new go-to. Don't hesitate--stop by, you won't be disappointed.

False advertising. You no longer get a free drink anymore after spending $72+ to earn 12 stars (as…read moreof 5/6/2025). You are now limited to items under $6 ($5.99 to be exact). Per my last review, those drinks are all undrinkable due to overwhelming sweetness levels despite ordering 25-50%. Additionally, while the online voucher says 1 free regular drink, the two physical signs in store (see attached pictures) clearly say in bold green text, free drink (with no limits). I used to be a loyal customer since the beginning when they first opened, recommending this place to all my friends. The flavors and sweetness levels back then were edible and normal. However, with the downfall of quality control / cloying sweetness levels (that have not been fixed as of May 2025 - I just ordered a 25% sweet taro drink this weekend which came out 2-300% sweet levels. I love my sweets, but this place has made it undrinkable, unable to even force myself to drink - the drink went straight to the trash when I got home). I can no longer in good conscience recommend this place for bubble tea. Gongcha and hmart are better by far at quality control and consistency. I will return to making my own bubble tea from now on unless I'm in lower Westchester or the city.
