100% vegan and plant-based

My boyfriend and I ate breakfast and dinner at Roots almost every day for our 3 week stay in Da Nang! Great, customizable smoothie bowl flavors (my favorite is Rise Up) and yummy buddha bowls with garlic black rice. They also serve fresh juices, coconuts, tea and coffee. Perfect for grabbing a meal before heading to the beach right down the road 😁

Pros: Vegan, plant-based, Large portions, Tasty!

really really good vegan food and ambience

cute swings at bar, outdoor seating, indoor seating... homemade nut butters, dates kombucha, and drinks for take away... Pretty extensive menu. Also, fresh coconuts. Highly recommend this place!

Went a few times and tried their japanese bowl, falafel bowl, and BBQ burger and they were all really good. Only thing is the bbq burger did not have coleslaw, which I was looking forward to😒 But service was good...

Can't stop eating here!

Only had a couple of days in Da Nang but have pretty much come back here for every meal. Food is just fantastic. Great selection, it's fresh, healthy, colourful and absolutely delicious. Had the pesto sandwich with eggplant, cherry tomatoes and zucchini on charcoal toast last night but ate it too fast to take a photo as has been so long since I've been able to get a good vegan pesto. The avocado and shiitake mushroom toast is perfectly finished off with nuts, ginger and micro greens. Feel like I'm back in Melbourne and should be lining up for half an hour to get a table and pay five times as much. Also goes without saying that the dragon fruit smoothie bowl was the perfect breakfast.

Pros: Everything

Worth The Walk

This place was about a 40 minute walk along the beach from where we were staying, but it was so worth it we went back again. The staff were friendly, our first visit we had the Jackson's and the BBQ burgers with fries, cooked fresh both were really good. The next day we went for breakfast, I had the falafel pita sandwich while my girlfriend had the cacao dream bowl, portion were big & so was the taste. The staff even offered us some root veg fries they were experimenting with. Definitely worth a visit or two.

Pros: Vegan, Reasonably priced, Great atmosphere.

Good for salads not too keen on burgers

Great place for alternative food in Da Nang. Although wasn’t keen on the burger at all, the bread they used wasn’t to my tasting and didn’t eat most of it. Smoothie and salad bowls are great. Of course pricier than other places due to the more western food and ingredients uses.

Fresh healthy vegan food

Such a great little vegan café. We had the pulled jackfruit burger (90k) and rainbow buddha bowl (98k), both were delicious. Great quality fresh ingredients used, and free drinking water offered. Highly recommend

Pros: Healthy, Fresh, Free water

Good

Smoothie bowl is awsome ! but the front of the store was under construction... It was so hot inside the store that I ate on the terrace - so noisy and dusty !

Pros: on sale vegan products, healthy food

Cons: not good scenery

Probably the best Vegan in Da Nang

Found this gem today and as a hard core vegan I went away very happy. I had the jackfruit burger and it was delicious (I'm used to eating jackfruit) and beetroot toast was also delicious. They have a great selection of natural drinks they make themselves which are tasty and healthy. Overall a wonderful place and the prices are great. The person we met there who seemed to be in control or the owner or manager is an Italian/Russian and very helpful. Highly recommended.

Pros: Food choices are great

Cons: None

Fantastic and so fresh

Went back four times. I don’t often post reviews, but this was in incredible. Whoever posed a pic of the falafel sandwich with the caption “good not great” was so wrong, mine came loaded with everything. That person must’ve been picky and asked for stuff removed. Everything is so fresh and they served me large portions, full of veggies, just what I need before heading off to Bangkok to destroy my body with alcohol!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lovely staff, Great seasoning very flavorful

Cons: A bit more expensive , No air conditioning

Best sweet potato fries I ever tasted!

Plant based with several options; smoothies, juices, different sandwiches, veggie-burgers etc. Also had the crispiest and best sweet potato fries I ever tasted. Really recommend this place!

Cons: They don’t have Vietnamese coffee.

Great place. Lovely food.

The best vegan place in Danang. Period. Hope everything is local. All I can say is that all I got were super good. Plus, this place is doing its best to be as eco-friendly as possible. No plastic. They sell many products to reduce waste. Great.

Pros: Eco-friendly , Many alternatives to plastics

Aaaamazing!

Yes it is a little bit more expensive than the local prices but for how much you get, and how tasty it is I think it is defiantly worth it!! I had the smoothie bowl with turmeric, it was externally filling and taste great! I went back for dinner and had the Japanese Buddha bowl. Again, defiantly worth it!

The shop itself is so cute!!

Pros: Filling meals, Tasty!!!!

Good, but some disappointing dishes

The smoothie bowls are great here in my experience. The burgers leave much to be wished for. The Buddha bowls are good but not amazing. I will continue to come back but really wish they would improve (and start making real sweet potato fries...:( ).

Pros: Smoothie bowls, Healthy

Cons: Pricy

Delicious breakfast

I’ve been craving for a good tofu scramble for weeks now and that place didn’t disappoint me. The flavors were great, the bread tasty (and I’m german so you can’t make me happy with ‘toast‘) maybe a bit messy but you can clean up your plate with chopsticks later on. The lemon juice was the tastiest I’ve had so far, was really intense. If you’re looking for western food especially for breakfast lunch then that’s your place.

Pros: Great flavors, Pretty

Cons: Pricey

Pretty good, a little too healthy for me

I was craving a burger and fries so we decided to check this place out. Ordered the jackfruit burger and got the sweet potato fries added, also a fresh lime juice, all up it was 150k, kinda standard for western vegan food here. The jackfruit burger (with a hipster charcoal bun) was actually really delicious. The flavours were great and it was a decent size. However, this is probably the messiest meal I have ever had to eat. The jackfruit slides out of the crispy bun and you’re constantaly using the chop sticks to poke the jackfruit back in or scrape it back onto the over flowing plate. Definitely do not recommended going here and ordering that on a first date, luckily for me my girlfriend already knows I’m a disgusting eater so all was well. Lime juice was great, staff were friendly. Chips however were not good. I don’t know if this was part of the healthy thing but they were drier than the Sahara and looked like they had never seen oil. Would not recommend the chips unless you’re into that kind of thing. Overall I would go here again, most of it tasted great and all of the food that comes out is definitely “insta worthy” until of course you try eat it

Pros: Tasty food, Eco friendly , Food looks really gorgeous

Cons: Chips were not good

Tasty

I liked a lot the falafel pita and all the ingredients were fresh and tasty! Also the yoga & shine juice was delicious (they served it in a glass bottle which you can keep it😄 it’s just a little bit expensive.

fantastic concept

This place has nothing but good intentions. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the food. It was pricey too, which didn't help. It is real healthy Food, think raw, bowls etc. Not for me, but if you're in the area you should try it and make up your own mind.

Taste of Buddah Danang

Rainbow Buddah Bowl was splendid. The Passion fruit, banana, pineapple, and fresh coconut milk was the best tasting combo I ever tasted in a smoothie.

Pros: Stylish Place

Cons: Pricey, but this is Vietnam so stop complaining

Not good taste

I ordered the falafel bowl with pita bread and a choc cake.

There was like 3 ingredients in my bowl so not much content at all! The hummus wasn't edible because it was soooo salty. The falafel balls were edible but not great. The choc cake was edible but wasnt that nice either. The pita bread was really nice.

Staff were OK, no one acknowledged me when I walked in though so just got my own menu and table as the staff were playing on their phones or joking with each other.

Over all,I wouldn't go here again, there are way nicer Vietnamese vegan places .

Cons: Expensive for food you cant eat because its so bad, The tofu feta cheese was just tofu, Portion size is tiny for what you pay, bad service
