Delicious food, questionable charges

We loved the flavors of all the items we ordered. We got the Pit stop sampler with a some scoops of the chickpea, and egg salad pit stops to go to bring home to mom. The cost of the scoop to bring home was as much as the entire platter of the sampler. We felt like we were cheated there. We loved the items we tried on site. Just disappeared with the portions served for the take home and the cost that we were charged
We did also buy cookies and dog treats to go which were very much enjoyed!
We returned the next day to order more, and they no longer had the cafe items available as they were just a bakery operation on the weekend.

Santa Fe Gem

All vegan restaurant. I had the minestrone soup (so good), the cranberry chickpea sandwich (so good) and a oat/match tea (very tasty). I highly recommend this place. The owner Jack is a real sweetheart as well!!

Pros: All vegan, Tasty food, Great bakery as well

Cons: Smaller menu

Wonderful selection of vegan deli sandwiches and platters - ranging from egg salad and curried tofu, to crab cakes and challah bread and chewy brownies.

Pros: 100% vegan , Friendly and prompt service, Delicious food

What a gem!

We stopped by at the end of our trip and wish we had come earlier! Fresh and delicious food. I had a salad, which came with a wonderful dressing, and a Baby "Crab" Cake that was delicious. My husband got a Road-trip plate with three pit stops - the egg salad was a standout but it was all incredible.

Nice lunch stop

Baked goods are delicious and the deli items were better than we anticipated. Friendly staff and child friendly. Menu is a bit limited but it’s a great stop for a light meal and some baked goods to go.

Good, but not a big selection

We came for lunch on a weekday and were slightly disappointed to find few dishes on offer. However, what they did have tasted fantastic, and the little patio area was a great place to sit and eat.

Perfect lunch spot

We stopped here with our two young sons and we all loved the food. The egg salad was particularly outstanding and the dessert is something to write home about.

Excellent

I've eaten here (or just stopped by to pick things up) at least a dozen times since discovering it about 6 weeks ago. My non-vegan friends thought the egg salad couldn't possibly be vegan. Don't miss the soup of the month. And the Friday pastries - Wow! But be forewarned - either order a day or two ahead or get there before all the pastries are sold out. This is a small space with a few indoor and outdoor tables (and, of course, takeout) - it's so great that Santa Fe, one of the supposed higher consciousness centers in the United States, finally has a dedicated vegan option - a quality option.

Marvelous and welcoming!

I enjoyed dining here on a Friday and got an ‘egg’ salad sandwich and a marshmallow brownie, both were incredibly delicious and well made! I enjoy how refreshing and light the food was but very filling it all had been, definitely stop by if you’re close by.

Pros: Variety of vegan options, Pricing, Parking

Cons: Baked goods only Friday

Delicious and nutritious

This was a wonderful little takeout spot (I believe they have some indoor seating in non-covid times). We ordered delicious sandwiches and ate them outside on a picnic table in front of the store. They were colorful, flavorful, and gave us fuel for the day. As an added bonus, we got to chat with the owner of the shop, who gave us great Santa Fe info.

Highly recommended

This place is a gem. I keep going back and can't get enough of it. Great portions and everything on the menu is delicious and deeply satisfying. They have a different menu on weekends. Everything has been so good that I want to try it all.
I was also happy to see that they compost. And I ended up buying one of their vegan t-shirts for sale, which I don't often do but really appreciated the messages.

Delicious fresh food!

The staff was super kind, the food always taste so fresh. The outside seating are is so cute, peaceful and the fresh flowers smell amazing. I ordered the cheeseburger (beyond meat patty) and roasted potatoes, their green guava smoothie and had their quiche for breakfast and was extremely satisfied. Highly recommend!!

Lovely cafe

Warm and inviting cafe with picnic tables for outdoor dining. We had the breakfast burrito and a blue corn waffle with toppings. Portions are generous and flavors were terrific!

ROOT 66 4 EVER

Lovely team of people making equally wholesome and healthy food. Small menu, but in a good way. They really know what they’re doing. No sacrifice to variety. Supposedly expanding their hours soon and adding brunch! Definitely make sure to support the good people if you are in Santa Fe!

Loving it!

Love the Classic Burger and the Guava Smoothie and the Cauliflower Salad! And the burrito is soooo good ..got it with the GF wrap. Also love that when customers have suggestions (like larger portions, fix on line ordering system glitches ) the manager and staff respond immediately and make changes. Outside seating area is sweet. Oh, and I am not a big dessert person, but the chocolate chip cookies with flake salt...yum.

Pros: Fresh local produce used in many items, Friendly and kind staff, Every item I have had was great...

Cons: On line ordering system has had some major issues , Short open hours, but I think that is changing.

Tasty

This is a really special place. Everything we had was delicious. I had the quiche and salad. My friend had the mushroom schwarma. I thought the latter was better and more filling. My only complaint is that it was a little light, but the food is high quality and the atmosphere is very relaxing. We loved eating outside and felt like we could connect to people while still distancing during Covid era. They even offer masks if you do not have your own while ordering. Since the only seating is outside, it's feels safe.

Pros: Creative

Cons: Fare is light.
