Top!

Desde a simpatia do staff, à decoração, à comida ao estilo de comida e vibe foi uma experiência top! Uma mistura de restaurante/bar com mercearia. Onde todos se "misturam" para encontrar um lugar para sentar.

Pros: Vibe, Comida toda vegan, Decoração

Cons: Ser à beira de uma estrada um pouco movimentada, Alguma da comida estar um pouco "blend"

Nice vibe, high prices, staff very busy

Os waffles eram ótimos, mas não suficiente para o preço cobrado. O arroz negro bem médio. Bebidas vegetais de baixa qualidade. Staff amigável, mas estavam claramente eram insuficientes para preparar tudo e atender os clientes que chegavam. A decoração é linda. Preços altos para um café de baixa qualidade. Desculpe, pessoal. Ainda tem muito a melhorar.

Pros: Vibe, Decoração , Cheesecake

Cons: Preços, Atendimento lento

The entire menu is vegan.

Amazing food, okay service.

Strong hippie/surfer vibes. Pretty unique to most restaurants with a small open kitchen and food being prepared right in front of you. Food was well balanced very tasty. Both the sweet and savory waffles were amazing. Decadent cakes and the açaí bowl were tasty but they got the açaí order wrong.

Pros: Very good tasting food, Many options

Cons: Staff felt disorganized , uncomfortable seating, Tiny tables no place to put your food

Lecker aber zu ungemütlich

Diese kleine Location sieht aus wie ein Wohnzimmer mit offener Küche. Es war allerdings sehr beengt, so dass aufgepasst werden musste, wohin der nächste Schritt erfolgt. Wir sind scheinbar zur Stoßzeit gekommen, da es sehr voll war. Mit großem Hunger sollte dieses Lokal gemieden werden, da wir bestimmt 20 Minuten auf unsere Getränke gewartet haben, das Essen hat noch länger gedauert.
Sehr ungewöhnlich war die fast offene Toilette, die nur durch einen Vorhang vom Essbereich abgegrenzt war.
Alles in allem eine nette Idee, aber nicht mein Geschmack, da der Betrieb sehr hektisch wirkte.
Das Essen war aber lecker 😀

extrem schönes veganes Café

Das Café ist wunderschön von der Inneneinrichtung- man kann auf dem Boden sitzen😄
Die Waffeln waren sehr lecker, die Nuggets und Süßkartoffelpommes ebenfalls und die Quiche mit Salat auch.
Würden hier jederzeit wieder hinkommen!

Inviting space, ok food

The space looks great and very inviting, not the most comfortable as it seems that the chairs are mostly suited for children, so family and dog friendly which is also nice.
The food (both the quiche and the cake) are nothing to write home about.

Pros: All vegan, Also a little shop

Cons: Taste

A superb place to head for some healthy homecooked goodness on the Algarve's west coast

Roots cafe serves up a lovely selection of fabulously fresh and delicious vegan lunch dishes alongside their superb selection of homemade cakes.

Amazing sweet potato waffles topped with hummus and guacamole, vegetable frittata with a mega fresh green leafy salad or roasted red pepper and tomato soup were just a few of the options on offer when we stopped by. The cake display was hard to resist too with fruit topped chocolate cheesecake, chunky apple cake or iced banana cake all looking marvelously tasty.

The friendly staff and chilled vibe of the cafe space add to the experience, and this goes down as a superb place to head for some healthy home cooked goodness on the Algarve's west coast.

very cozy place!

I had the acai smoothie which was reeeaaally good! & ate a sweet potato waffle — the portion was way bigger than I expected, I almost couldn’t finish it. The salad & veggies on top were all fresh & the dips/pesto really yummy.

I like the concept of this place! Almost feels more like a living room as the staff prepares the food & everything in the same room.

Pros: Cute location , Friendly staff, Yummy food

Cons: Eating on the tiny chairs could be difficult

Great nutricious wholefood options

A really cute place with nice interior and a broad menu of wholefood creations and sweets. The portions are rather small, but that leaves room for a sweet treat. The staff is very friendly and the place is really inviting to slow down and stay a while.

Pros: Cute place , Nutricious Wholefood creations , Many sweeets

So ein wundervolles Café!

Wir haben uns in dem gemütlichen kleinen Café direkt super wohl gefühlt und das Essen war sehr sehr lecker! Wir haben uns zu zweit eine herzhafte und eine süße Waffel geteilt, beide waren richtig gut.

A total gem. In the middle of Algarve

A dream come true? Finest vegan dishes: savory? sweet? healthy? extravaganza? You name it, they have it. „S‘presso“ in a bamboo cup, pastel del nata as a tart, local veggies by the kilo, nice wine, cashew cheese? It’s all there a special atmosphere. True gem 5⭐️**

Pros: Variety of dishes, Super sweet, Fruits 'n veggies 'n wine 'n more

Extraordinary and tasty

Found this place while traveling to the south of Portugal, there were obviously no vegan cafes nearby, but suddenly we found them and we're very pleased. It is a special and extraordinary place. Tasty waffles, good deserts and drinks and awesome staff!

Yum! Organic and vegan

Yum! Organic and vegan. Super combo.
The only thing that bothered me was that the cook often smoked outside. This does not fit for me with the store and she has then also the residue from smoking on the hands what then goes to the food when she prepares it.
In the entrance area is a saying: Take good care of your body, it's the only place you have to live ...😉#Veganuary

Pros: Yummy, Vegan, Organic

Cons: Smoking staff, Not easy with baby /toddler

Really nice vegan Brunch Café

Hippieish and high quality proves to be a very good combo😄

Pros: The „Pastel de nata“-Tarte is simply irresistible, Everything is organic and high quality , The hippieish Style is authentic and lovely

Cons: It is not cheap (but worth every penny), It is very small, therefore no space left st., It is directly at the main street
