Good bakery – but be careful of the advertising

So we walked past and saw “Vegan bakery” with big letters in the window. Great, right? I ordered a veal sandwich, thinking it was meat substitute, but – fortunately before they had time to make it – I realised it was actual meat!!

Turns out, it’s only the bakery that’s vegan – not the sandwiches (which isn’t part of a bakery…?)

Anyways, the actual food was good: had a cake and a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Coffee was very good too. So recommended, except the VERY confusing advertising

Pros: Good food and coffee

Cons: Confusing advertising (not vegan)

Perfect breakfast experience!

Beautiful place serving delicious vegan options!
There were quite some options, so it was hard to choose. My gf and I had two different types of toasts and some hazelnut cake.

Everything tasted great and the staff was friendly.

I'll definitely go back there!

Pros: Many vegan options , Friendly staff

Estupendo sitio con opciones veganas

Muy chulo, muy simpátic@s, te puedes hacer el plato a medida con todos los ingredientes que tienen que son excelentes y todos veganos menos la proteína pero tienen siempre como 4 opciones, dos veganas y dos no así que no hay problema. Los postres, muy buenos, no todos veganos pero muchos sí. Se comunica con una tienda de ropa y demás que está muy bien! No le doy 5 estrellas porque solo se las doy a restaurantes veganos 100%.

Bien aunque servicio ejorable

Súper ricas las tostadas particularmente la de pesto. El problema es que entre la cantidad de gente que hay, los pedidos delivery, y la falta de personal que tienen, acabas esperando media hora tu pedido

Misleading advertisement

The window says vegan bakery, the sticker says vegan, the bag says vegan, the cups say vegan (turns out the cups are plant based) my husband asks which are the vegan sandwiches and they gave me pork and chicken. I didn’t feel good but I thought it was because of the excessive oil. We did not find out until 2 days later when we went again. Don’t advertise as vegan and then sell meat. I have never eaten a pig and now I have. They said we should understand that bakery doesn’t refer to the toppings of the bread. They said they never heard of vegan chicken. They gave our money back but the only thing I want is that they change their advertisement. Don’t prentend to be vegan so you get clients.

best brunch in madrid!

as the title says, i come here basically every sunday for their vegan pancakes on their brunch menu. i usually order the little brunch which comes with a chia pot as well, a drink and a coffee. its just so good and the place is super cute as well! the pastries are really nice too, but in my opinion a bit expensive. still really amazing, top 3 in madrid in my books

Finally found a great healthy option - we loved the macrobiotic bowl, and the Buddha bowl sounded good as well! Plus vegan treats, hummus toast, açaí bowls, etc. Not to be missed!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Healthy and tasty , Vegan treats

Cons: A bit expensive, but worth it

Vegan Breakfast

Had breakfast here consisting of vegan pancakes with toppings as well as arepas (both vegan). They did put egg on the plate but that was due to a miscommunication. Had coffee and a strawberry smoothie too. All of the food was delicious 😋!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Tasty food and coffee, Staff were friendly

No llameis "vegano" a un sándwich que tiene leche

Se come bien, y no es excesivamente caro, pero, si vais a llamar "vegan dream" a un sándwich, preocupaos de comprar un pan que no contenga leche (que hay muchos) y no engañeis asi a la gente.

Pros: La pasta está muy bien

Hola, el pan de Roots no tiene leche, no lleva aditivos ni conservantes. Solamente tiene harina, aceite de oliva, sal y levadura. Si decios que un producto es vegano, es porque realmente es vegano

Great Food

A nice find close to the Chueca neighborhood in Madrid, Roots Lamarca is known for its bowls and vegan desserts. The bowls are available before 430 pm only and are chicken/salmon or tofu based. Having arrived later in the afternoon, I wasn’t able to order a bowl. The only options were sandwiches and or pasta. I ordered a tofu sandwich with extra tofu and seasoned cooked vegetables on the side. The tofu was seasoned to perfection with a light sauce and lettuce on a bun. Very very tasty. My partner ordered a pasta dish with pesto sauce and chicken. Despite his skepticism of eating at a vegan friendly restaurant, his dish was exceptionally good. I finish the meal with a chocolate tort which was simply delicious. It’s nice to have a restaurant that can cater to vegans with a good protein option at the same time as it successfully caters to non-vegans. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Pros: Excellent tasty food for vegans, Good protein options for vegans, Excellent tasty food for non-vegans

Cons: Slightly expensive

Quick healthy lunch

Pretty much the same concept as in Honest Greens/Hortaleza, which is located just round the corner. Food is really good and healthy. You can build your own bowl choosing the ingredients or choose any of the ones listed on the meny. On the cons side, you have maily large tall communal tables and stools. It gives the feeling that it's all set up to make you feel a bit uncomfortable so that you have lunch as quickly as possible and leave your place for another customer.

Pros: healty tasty vegan options, wide range of vegan desserts

Cons: uncomfortable tables and chairs, not cheap (especially the desserts)

Outstanding

The food is brilliant. Nutrition bomb! I go when I need some seriously good nutritious food. The only complaint is the seating. Too tight and too small. Some of the most uncomfortable chairs possible....

Muy mala atención

Atención muy mala y aunque están abiertos non-stop sólo se puede comer a la hora de la comida española. Al final es otro restaurante español más con horario español. Lo único bueno es que la comida estaba rica, aunque las bebidas muy malas y caras.

Pros: Comida rica

Cons: Bebida mala y cara. Horario falso.

Lunch bowls

Went there with non-veg friends and we all found something and liked the food. I believe I had the Buddha Bowl with some small adjustments. Good value for money.

Pros: fresh and healthy, vegan options

Cons: more a quick lunch place, so not too many tables

Pretty good

Had the microbiotic bowl which was good. I’d probably get something else next time because there was something missing with the flavor. But they seemed to have a decent amount of vegan options, and their entire desert selection is 100% vegan!
