Best sandwiches ever!!! - Edit
We had sandwiches which were delicious. We went there twice during our 2 days visit in Zurich. We also enjoyed the salad and the cauliflower bowl with Indian touch.

Also, hm, ... - Edit
Ja, Zürich. Teuer. Das heisst nicht, dass es nicht auch überraschend sein darf. Und das war mein Essen definitiv nicht. Immerhin vegan! Das gibt die zwei Sternli.

Very good if a bit pricey - Edit
Came here for lunch on a weekday and the place was hopping! Here's how ordering works—grab a table first, order and pay at the counter with your table number, and they'll bring your food out. Bread and water are complimentary. We had the dal bowl, the protein bowl, and a chai latte. Everything was tasty and generously portioned. Pricing was on the high side at CHF20+ for each of the bowls. Still would recommend.

Buena opción - Edit
Buenísima opción si lo que buscas es comer sano y un servicio rápido. Buena calidad y sabor. Eliges mesa, pides en la barra y te lo sirven enseguida. Tienen variedad de zumos naturales buenísimos. Si tengo que poner una pega es que se quedaron sin ingredientes para algunos platos y los retiraron de la carta.
Read morePros: Ingredientes frescos , Plato nutricionalmente equilibrado, Servicio rápido
Cons: Carta reducida, Ingredientes agotados

Leider keine Empfehlung mehr... - Edit
Wir waren schon öfters hier und kamen immer wegen des guten Essens.
Read moreHeute (Samstag Nachmittag) war alles ausverkauft mit Reis, alles mit Avocados, das Masala, die Souerdought Toasties, Drinks.. etc.
Das Personal ist unprofessionell und mürrisch. Bei jedem bestell Versuch kam etwas neues zum Vorschein, was scheinbar nicht verfügbar ist.
Die Matcha latte waren lauwarm statt heiss und der Smoothie 50% Schaum im Glas statt Flüssigkeit.
Die Pancakes waren auch lauwarm und das Dal war heiss mit eiskaltem Quinoa...
Also echt kein positives Ereignis...

Sehr gut - Edit
Der Salad war frisch und lecker. Leider waren nur 2 Hauptgerichte verfügbar ( Montag, 17.30). Limonade sehr lecker, nicht zu süß. Die Bedienung super, lockere atmosphäre.

Bowls, treats & sweat - Edit
I really like the bowls at this joint but this time opted for a summer salad. Delicious and plentiful. My gf ordered a tofu curry and pancakes for dessert. No complaints.

Tasty lunch 🥗 - Edit
Ich war mehrmals dort: zum Lunch und zum Frühstück (unter der Woche). Das Mittagessen war lecker. Die Açai Bowl zum Frühstück war leider zu kalt (noch leicht gefroren) und deshalb nicht angenehm zu essen. Nächstes Mal würde ich dennoch gern den Brunch am Wochenende ausprobieren.

Lecker & gesund - Edit
Das Roots hat eine kleine, aber feine Karte. Die Gerichte sind gut zusammengestellt und geschmacklich überzeugend. Allerdings ist es meistens sehr voll (besonders über Mittag) und laut. Lange Wartezeiten sind keine Seltenheit. Die Preise sind für Zürich in Ordnung, doch eher hoch.
Read morePros: Lecker & gesund, Durchdacht zusammengestellte Bowls
Cons: Eher laut, Lange Wartezeiten über Mittag

great brunch! - Edit
all vegan food - with a really nice protein pancake offering. and delicious oat milk coffees too. bit of a weird vibe if you go for the roots located in a gym, but coffee in the cafe nearer the station is chill.
