Delish brekkie - Edit
Had one of their all day breakfast and it was delish! Coffee was excellent, too. Ginger shot’s got a kick! Friendly service and cozy atmosphere.

They're amazing, probably best waffles I've ever had. Their breakfast sandwich is also yummy

Good and healthy food - Edit
Small cozy please and friendly staff. I ordered the pulled oat salad with reddish dressing and it had a lot of taste. The carrots could have been in shorter strips, as they almost became like Pasta and impossible to mix in the salad

Hip, but good. - Edit
If you want to find a hipster in Kallio, chances are they are here. But don't let that keep you away from here - just ignore their dismissive looks. If you want a bowl of healthy vegan food, come here. I went for the falafel bowl, friend went for the spiced tofu one.
Read moreGreat food, not too badly priced by Helsinki prices (relatively). Don't be in a rush, as it wasn't quick. Enjoy the vibe, ignore the hipsters. Worth the effort.
Pros: Great food.
Cons: Too many hipsters.

Great healthy glutenfree-friendly food. - Edit
Great healthy glutenfree-friendly food and cozy atmosphere! I sometimes eat lunch here, and I'm always satisfied. Coffe/Tea is also included when you're buing lunch. Sometimes the portions are a bit small, but i guess it depends on what you get.

So far had just lunch once - Edit
Had lunch here. Nice salad for starters (you combine it by yourself from the table) and tofu soup as a warm dish. Soup was quite simple but turned out to be tasty and filling. The place is little bit too "fancy" in a hippie kind of way for me and a bit pricey but quite nice anyway. Staff was also nice.

Great food - Edit
Roots offers all-day breakfast as well as other food, such as burgers and bowls. We went for the buddha & oriental bowl and were not disappointed. Staff are friendly and the place looks stylish and clean.

Nice raw vegan restaurant with original food - Edit
Nothing to said here everything was really delicious for me.
Read moreThe music was made by an artist who was inside the room with us so it was cool!
I will just say like every other restaurants in Helsinki: it's too much expensive for what it is, at least for a French person.
Pros: Food is really good and tasty, Nice atmosphere, Custom music by artist in the room
Cons: A little bit expensive for what it is, Not really in the center of Helsinki

A very good place - Edit
I went with a friend for a breakfast on Sunday morning. I took the seedbread, the chia pudding, a roiboos and green smoothie. Everything tasted really good. The price is reasonable (14€) and the place is lovely!ff

Fresh all vegan food - Edit
I LOVE Roots. I've tried some bowls of theirs, and today I went in with my friend to try their breakfast. For 12,- you get blueberry overnight oats, their own seed bread topped with something like hummus, semi-dried tomato and sprouts as well as homemade juice and coffee. I think the food is very well worth the price and the breakfast was delicious! Lots of flavours, fresh ingredients and everything is vegan. The bowl dishes I tried before were amazing, as well. Now I need to join them for a yoga class one day.

went here with my SO for brunch on a Saturday
Read moreThe atmosphere is cosy, Nora Jones on the stereo, plenty of lighting and the room is spacious.
We orderd a flat bread and the oriental plate, the food tasted excellent and the servings were generous. So generous we had to leave some to have dessert.
Our dessert was 2 raw cakes, and like the rest of the food it tasted very good, the filling melted in the tongue and the bottom was crunchy.
For the price it was worth it and they earned their 5 stars
(Would've given them 4,5, but since that's not an option, I rounded up)

Very cozy lil joint/coffee shop/Vegan eatery. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to make me feel at home. ..and I did! Food was good and the ginger shot was on the money. Ventures like this must be supported by the Vegan community.
