    Table service menu
    Eve S.

    Great vegan cafe across from the train station Whether you choose table service, something from the fridge to go, or something premade from the case you will be happy you came here. It is all healthy and delicious.

    "Meatball" sub

    The search for gluten free or vegan options can sometimes be hard but this place makes it very easy and simple, everything on the menu is either gluten free and/or vegan. There is an area where you can make a plate by weight and a full menu with good descriptions of what each dish contains. The space is bright and spacious with plenty of seating. It's casual but the servers will bring items to your table and clean up after you finish. We ordered from the menu, I went with the lentil burger which came with sweet potato fries plus beet ketchup and my wife had the "meatball" sub on gluten free bread, it has a nut based "cheese" but there is an option for nut less cheese alternative. I thought the food was good and there were plenty of options especially for those who have certain dietary restrictions or just want to avoid certain things. It's also kosher.

    Something Before Our Meal

    You can find a Vegan item or two in any Westchester County restaurant. But in all of Westchester, Pureganic in Rye, is Vegan head to toe. My husband loves all types of meat- but since my daughter is visiting from the West Coast and hubs is incorporating more Vegan meals (especially when she visits), we ditched our "protein" brunches- for something she can naturally be part of. I've been eyeing Pureganic for some time, but glad hubs beat me to the punch when we came for a Vegan Father's Day brunch. The cherry on top? Here, you will not be confused if a Vegan dish was made on the same griddle eggs and meat were cooked on or asking the server, "can you leave out the dairy and make it Vegan?" Because EVERYTHING is plant-based even desserts! Space is clean with several tables adequately spaced. Menu is varied and so is the entire range of simple, prepared room-temperature plant-based foods which your server will plate built on your selections on the spot. For cooked foods and if you're dining in, order and pay at the counter first- then meals are brought to you. Between my daughter's Tofu Scramble, Vegan sausage, hubs' Waffle and my White Bean Veggie Burger, food was nice and different.

    Love that this delicious vegan cafe moved to Harrison! Everything is so fresh and yummy that even non-vegans will enjoy the dishes. All the food is made with healthy ingredients. Highly recommend the waffles, pizza (with vegan cheese!), pasta, and Buffalo cauliflower. There are fresh juices available and a whole salad bar as well. They even have dessert! The owner and staff are so friendly. Make a stop here for sure!

    We've been going to Pureganic for many years and still enjoy the quality and taste of the foods served. My husband is a functional med. doc., and we appreciate all the quality ingredients used (e.g., olive oil & coconut sugar as opposed to canola/crappy oils and refined sugars). The new-ish items added to the menu are superb. There's even wine and champagne offered! The service is always friendly, and the owner, Moshi, is always gracious and welcoming. The price is right for the kind of organic ingredients used; it's not exorbitant. If you want to pay McDonald's price, go to McDonald's. But if you care about your health and eat healthy delish foods, go to Pureganic. FYI - there's free parking at the location.

The Mofonguitos were flavorful bites wrapped in crispy plantain deliciousness, and their Sancocho was a perfect soup: hearty with tons of root vegetables and a really deep, warm flavor profile. I'm already planning repeat orders of these on my next trip, and to try their rice and beans next.

I ordered the egg and cheese biscuit with the help of the cashier, I didn't get her name and it's on the receipt but I threw it out. Even though this was not a vegan dish, who could pass on a collosal cheese biscuit. The egg was a nice accompaniment to this cheese biscuit also. The lady that gave me the biscuits said, wow! That smells nice. I thought she was giving me a compliment on the order until I sniffed the bag. Normally I don't do well with my sense of smell but, boy oh boy! That was a gooooooood smelling biscuit. And the taste, it tastes so good, it makes you want to slap yo momma. (Don't do it, it just makes you want to slap her.) Needless to say, I really enjoyed this cheese biscuit. In hindsight I guess I could have grabbed a hot drink, maybe next time, and there will be a next time because I told the lady that this was my first time and at the restuarant and I'm new in the area. She said she's looking forward to seeing me again. I'm looking forward to more eats and treats or treats and eats. Whatever it is, just ... Inspire more, Yelp more!

Staff were very friendly and accommodating, and non-intrusive. You order at the counter and then sit down, and we were not disturbed at all besides our meal being brought to us when it was ready.

We have been lucky enough to have been coming for over 40 years. Earlier this year, one of the founding owners passed away. Sadly, the restaurant is closing in December 2025. Despite yourself a favor and make a reservation now. You will have to wait in line to order, but you will be guaranteed a seat. Come prepared to do your part. Starting with picking up your meal and then by clearing your table when you are through. While dining, be sure to peek at the great collection of vintage pictures that cover the walls. There is so much history in this building. On this visit Mom and I ate well, as always and we left full. I had an amazing Bloodroot (vegetarian) burger and mom tried the "chicken" sandwich.

For this historic restaurant that has created its own recipes both for its menu planning and for its business plan, 50 years is an enviable achievement that marks a milestone. Bloodroot began stirring feminism into food during an era when feminist cafés and bookstores sprang up all across North America. Bloodroot has outlasted them all. And through its four vegetarian cookbooks, Bloodroot has contributed to both the feminist and the vegetarian movements beyond Connecticut's borders. The restaurant has defied convention in many ways, even in its location on a dead-end street of a peaceful residential neighborhood. Its secluded site provides a spacious yard, ample parking, and a waterfront view. Picnic tables in the yard and patio foretell of informal and leisurely dining. Indoors, this historic landmark looks like a museum. The olden furniture may have been sourced from antique shops. Tapestries hang from the rafters. Chandeliers simulate candlelight. An entire wall is decorated with dozens of framed black-and-white vintage photos of females, all looking like the faded portraits of your great-grandmas. Bloodroot is all about Mom. The food, "like mother used to make," is akin to grandma's and mom's home cooking. Not haute cuisine, but not crunchy-granola health foods either. To my disappointment, white flour, white sugar, and white rice rule the day. The mostly conventional fare with an ethnic flair simply omits the meat. Until ten years ago, Bloodroot was stuck in the last century, still clinging to cow's milk products on its menu, thereby supporting a dairy industry that cruelly exploits the females of the species. This feminist collective's transition into veganism was long overdue. I have dined at Bloodroot over thirty times in the past 40-years, during which the building and décor have little changed. Historic indeed. Its menu, however, changes both seasonally and almost daily depending upon what produce is available. On some occasions, I have been treated to memorable meals that rival even the most expensive vegan restaurants of Manhattan. But sometimes the food did not rise above the level of my own home cooking, so I was better off staying home. You just need to choose wisely. One change in décor has occurred in its adjoining bookstore. In the age of Amazon, it has morphed into more of a reading library with comfy couches that encourage you to browse through the books. On one table and one shelf, some used books, mostly pertaining to the subjects of feminism or vegetarianism, can indeed be purchased, but that selection is small compared to the other shelves crowded with books intended only for perusal. While the three earlier Bloodroot cookbooks are out of print, its current volume is in print and so offered for sale. Another change. In the past, you were usually greeted by Selma Miriam, who cofounded Bloodroot with her business and life partner, Noel Furie. But Selma won't be greeting us anymore. She died last February at age 89. Tributes and obits filled Connecticut news media, and she was accorded a lengthy obituary in The New York Times. I would be remiss if not sharing an ill-fated personal anecdote. Under the guise of required membership to some obscure historical society, this feminist collective used to reserve one night a week for admission to women only. On one such members-only night in 1988, a luminary of the animal rights movement and I had arrived right after broadcasting his animal rights talk show on WPKN-FM on which we announced we were heading to Bloodroot right after the show, essentially promoting the restaurant on the noncommercial radio station. Selma knew us both, but cordially turned us away. Despite our begging, she refused to serve us even outside and out of sight. I felt like a Black in Jim Crow South denied a seat at the lunch counter. While I don't recall the woman after whom the historical society was named, it should have been called, The Jim Crow Historical Society. Presently filling roles both at the front and the back of the house, Noel (in my photo, depicted standing) is one busy woman. And Bloodroot is beginning a new chapter in its CookBook of Life. In case you're wondering about the meaning of its sanguinary name that may seem contradictory for a vegetarian restaurant, the bloodroot is a wildflower native to New England whose roots sprout up all around it with flowering shoots. But this iconic Bloodroot in Bridgeport stands alone.
