“ Such a lovely little cafe. I ate there with my family and we all enjoyed our food, despite some of the family being opposed to meat-free meals. So many good options, I’m looking forward to going back and trying more! ”
“ Popped in for lunch the other day with my partner. We're both vegan so it was lovely to have so many options available! I had the middle Eastern salad box and it was very tasty! He said his burrito was lovely too. The smoothie I had was also delicious and the best I've had in a long time. Bonus - I believe most, if not all of the smoothies are dairy free! We're looking forward to trying something from the evening menu ”

I am not normally one to go for veggie food but the flavours where amazing and i didn’t miss having meat at all i will come back to try more from there menu as the food seems really different and definitely a healthy change to my diet ”
“ Had a birthday celebration here. Really responsive to messages. Food was absolutely excellent. All six of us were delighted with the quality of food and the quality of service. Really fresh ingredients. Very friendly staff. Made my day (it was my birthday). ”
“ We're on holiday at the moment, down from Surrey and we wanted somewhere with good vegan options and Roots did not disappoint! We had some wonderful food and my daughter particularly loved the raspberry milkshake. The food was beautifully presented and service was excellent. It was also lovely to meet Otis the dog who was having a snooze nearby. ”
“ I keep meaning to post a review for Roots but haven't got round to it. Unfortunately I live about 25 minutes away so I'm not able to go as frequently as I would like. As you enter the staff are always very friendly and genuinely welcoming and I always end up having a nice chat with them as I order and you can tell they enjoy the job and have passion in what they offer. I can see also that they have regulars who they are very attentive with and know them by name. the staff are always really helpful when ordering and recommending food including the manager. I actually couldn't pick a muffin so for fun I asked them to choose one for me. the food is excellent. I think Barnstaple is quite limited with variety and Roots offers something quite different. Even if you are not vegan/vegetarian i strongly suggest giving it a try as you wont be disappointed. I usually go for something like a burrito or Indian wrap but if you have never tried a falafel before Roots is a must! There is quite a variety of options. I suggest going using their website. I don't tend to review places unless they are something quite special! ”
“ Enjoyed a late Vegetarian Breakfast this morning with my daughter. Food was lovely and my hot chocolate was hot and chocolatey. So much so that I purchased a tin and also some of the tasty chutney that was on sale. Roots really does have it all and if your vegetarian or vegan you should give it a go. You won't be disappointed. ”
