    Banh Mi Sandwich
    Lauren C.

    Wow!! This place is an instant favorite. It was on our list for awhile, and we finally made the LIRR trip out from the city to go try it. As health-oriented vegans, we felt Rock n Roots is basically perfect. They mostly adhere to whole foods/plant-based principles and even have a selection of oil-free options, a true rarity. We didn't notice the oil-free menu until after we ordered, but we kept it lighter by getting the spicy aioli on the side for the sushi bowl and the banh mi. The sushi bowl was great; so fresh and flavorful; light but still satisfying. We got the banh mi on whole wheat bread and really loved this healthy interpretation of a banh mi. The baked tofu is great. We also enjoyed the bacon cheeseburger with the homemade (oil-free!) patty. Would've been nice if it came with a side of their baked fries. We also loved the pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Soo pumpkin-y! The owners were so helpful and knowledgeable and truly care about making food that's healthy and still tastes great. We didn't have the chance to try the items in the grab and go fridge, but everything looked great, from their legendary sushi to oil-free chickpea salad to an Italian sub (made with seitan from Secret Vegan Kitchen). We will definitely be making the trip back.

    Stopped by for a little late lunch. There are 90 minute (Mon-Sat 7AM - 7PM) parking spot around, and I had no issue getting a spot. There are a few tables and counter seating if you choose to eat in. They have some premade snacks/sides and drink, so good to grab and go. The service is friendly and attentive. They ask if I want food to stay or go. I opted to stay, and it took about 15 mins for my food to be ready. They bought me out my food along with a fork and napkins. They do wipe down the tables and counter. The Crunchwrap with Tofu Egg (July special) was piping hot! It's flavorful and has a lot of great textures. It comes with sour cream and chipotle mayo? The veggies were fresh and crisp. The tortilla held together well. It is pretty filling! Note: there is 4% cash discount, so bring cash. A nice vegan spot to hit if you're in the area.

    Hearty Pesto panini
    Kat N.

    I order lunch often as it's a nearby, healthy, and clean option for a meal and juice. Even the gluten-free bread comes out toasty and tasty from their panini press. I will keep ordering, however i am learning that it can be tricky to order for full value. For example, I got the hearty pesto (hearts of palm) on gluten free bread and it had a LOT less filling than the regular panini. Yes the bread is smaller, and it's pricier. Still yummy. Next time i may get a tub of the palm pesto and a fork!

    Smokey 'Shrooms wrap with added tofu
    Katie G.

    Rock n Roots is absolutely delicious. I wish I had been able to try everything on the menu, but I started with the Smokey Shrooms wrap with tofu added. It was so fresh, delicious, and filling. Next time I am in town this will be my go to spot!

    The Rock n Roots Salad
    Dante A.

    Solid vegan cafe with friendly conscientious service. Very tiny with just three small tables but good vibes all around. Rock n Roots salad was very pleasant, and the heart of palm "lobster" nori roll was a treat. Will definitely return whenever we're in the area. Pro-tip, ask for quinoa instead of wild rice. Nice softer texture than the rice and holds the maki roll together even better. I didn't realize when I ordered that the Lean green was pre-made. That said, it was also quite nice, not too sweet, not too vegetal in flavor. Nicely balanced for a green juice overall. @ Dina, thank you for the follow up! I did indeed order the Lean Green juice.

    November Special Bacon Cheeseburger
    Gina B.

    Love Rock n roots! Everything is so delicious and made with care and love. Staff are fantastic, so helpful and kind. I love going up to the fridge before I leave to pick out my desserts and deli style salads. The jackfruit salad has my heart! Reminds me a bit of chicken salad. Overall such a great place to come to eat and relax.

    Eggplant Panini
    Marina K.

    The food still good, however, I stopped going there, based on principle. When I started going there I was given a rewards card that said "free meal" after an x number of visits. When I finally got my free meal I was super excited, I Placed an order and when I showed my card, the cashier deducted only $5 , I was confused and asked, why are you only deducting $5 when the card clearly said "free meal" she went and talk to the owner, the owner came and said to me, "it's only $5 off" to which I replied "the rewards card clearly said "free meal " the owner had a bit of an arrogant attitude and replied back, "it's $5 off" she said something like there was a mistake on the cards. It was supposed to be only $5 . At that point I decided to pay for my food and leave. I should have walked away but I decided to do the right thing. Unfortunately, the owner didn't as she refused to honor the rewards card. That left a bad taste in my mouth. It's a shame because the food is good, the costumer service not so much! If you have a rewards card program, then it should be honored, whether you made a mistake or not when ordering the cards. This was an incident that happened awhile back. I'm not sure if they still have a rewards program or not as I haven't been back.

    Spicy Chicken Wrap
    Bianca C.

    I got to visit Rock n Roots today and the following is my experience. The location is located on the corner and there is street parking available. Upon walking in, there are three tables set up to the left ready for dining in. On the right there is a fridge with all kinds of goodies ready to grab and go! They have Juices, Seamoss, Desserts, ready to go chickpea tuna and more. The place is clean, has great lighting and an extensive menu! I did inquire about catering and was told to email them for a catering menu which is great to know for events. I was told they are able to cater additional items that aren't listed on the catering menu with advanced notice! I wanted to order a few different things that caught my eye. They have a good menu to choose from & they do have daily specials which I encourage you to check out! I ordered (2) spicy chicken wraps 6.5/10 $12.75 each The wraps are a good size and that's actually the first thing we noticed! They are filled with plenty of lettuce, tomato, carrots, and a "spicy" chicken. It is very fresh and does have a good taste however it does lack some sauce/dressing it really needed something to blend all the ingredients together. We actually felt like we were eating more of a salad than anything. The chicken was not spicy. Unfortunately we did feel like the flavor was lacking here. 1 spicy chickpea tuna sushi roll 8/10 $8.75 Now I am a sushi lover regularly so I just knew I was going to get this item for sure. It was also very fresh, inside it has chickpea, carrot, sriracha and cucumber. On the side it comes with this cute container that holds the soy sauce. This for me was good although there was sriracha I didn't get much of that. However if you are looking for something fresh and tasty try it! 1 Loaded carrot dog - Saturdays Special 10/10 $3.25 Ok this Loaded carrot dog is AMAZING!!! Honestly we were shocked on how tender the carrot was. Definitely will be getting this next time for sure. It's topped with Sauerkraut, pico de Gallo, dijon, ketchup & aioli. The combination of flavors and texture are truly amazing I say order it and get 2! Dina was one of the staff members that assisted us. She was attentive, kind and generous. Thanks to her we had 2 cinnamon crumbles which are Gluten Free $3.50. Firstly they are a great size, sweet, wholesome and a great way to finish your meal. I absolutely can't wait to come back and try some other items.

    It's hard to find quality vegan, Gluten free food sometimes. Thankfully I discovered this place! The service is amazing, they had a customer service issue and resolved it quickly and appropriately. The space is smaller but they have tables inside and outside. I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu.

    Rock and Roots is my TO-GO for lunch and dinner for work and home. I have made it a point to try a different item on their menu each time I order and it's always the same amazing feeling !!! They are truly amazing. They have super friendly customer service and food is always deliver in a timely manner . If I could give them 10 stars I would!

It was a little bit messy, so I'm glad that they did that. The sandwich was bomb and definitely had a spicy kick that I was looking for. It was very savory even with the sweetness of the pineapple sauce. The reason for the two stars was that I found two long thin hairs in the wrap. One was luckily at the base of the wrap and easy to spot/remove and the other was in the beans & rice section and as I was pulling the wrap away from my bite... eek! I pulled it out and tossed it and continued to nosh. I was so hungry I didn't mind, but any other day it might have been totally offensive and off-putting. I recommend using hairnets to anyone who handles the food there, given that two of not my own hairs were trapped in the wrap and between the wrapping and the wrap. My food order came with a side option of Ms. Vickie's flavored potato chips (I got the sea salt and vinegar, which I saved as a snack for later), a banana, or an apple (they had granny smiths today 07/03/2024). I will definitely go back and give it another try, but I really hope they do something to contain peoples' hair from entering into the foodstuffs. Happy eats!

On the other hand, they are always out of something and the employees are dismissive. My latest run-in with them: I ordered on a Friday night for pickup.
