delicious food, one of my favorites if not my #1 - Edit
Vital Root is committed to keeping it real. Real ingredients. Real food. Real flavor. It’s a fast-casual approach to the Omnivore’s Dilemma and features bright, plant-based meals that nourish the body and honor the earth. Other Vital pairings include: flavor wellness, affordable sustainably-sourced, fast chef driven, nutrient dense wholly craveable. And the space? A reformed candy factory now brimming with plants and bathed in light. Thanks, nature.

Solid semi-casual - Edit
They have some very solid dishes, but quite a few underwhelming ones as well. For the elevated prices, I’d hope for more consistent quality.
Read moreAdditionally, a lot of the dishes rely on things that you can easily buy at a grocery store (e.g. Daring chicken).
Wish they would commit to vegan foods and put in more effort there improving there rather than switching to serving meat like they do now.

Can’t go wrong - Edit
Everything I’ve had is so delicious - the wrap, the stir fry, the “chicken” and waffles. I dream about their food. A little on the pricey side for the portion size but it’s worth the splurge as a treat! I will say the vibe is very casual so not the best for a fancy date.

Not bad - Edit
I was expecting a little more. I ordered the beet Ruben and I guess I thought it would taste like a Ruben . It was good but it tasted like a beet sandwich. My friend really liked her chickpea dish and my sister kinda liked the banh mi tacos.

If you want the best vegan Ruben, go to Glady’s in Edgewater

Amazing!! - Edit
This place is great! Lots of vegan/veg options to choose from. The entrees are great but my favorite things are the starters. Their desserts are amazing as well. One time when we went, they accidentally gave my partner the vegetarian option instead of vegan though.

Interesting food, very accomidating for vegans - Edit
Vital Root advertises as 99% vegan, which could mean anything. They told me that they can make anything on the menu vegan (with some substitutions) except for the cheesecake. 5 stars for options and ambiance.
Read moreService is simple, walk up to the counter, order, they bring the food shortly. It's a self-bus environment, grab your own napkins, forks, water and clean up after yourself when you leave.
Tried the Chicken & Dosa Waffles with Yucca Fries. Not sure I would do that again, it was an interesting flavor blend but points for creativity.
Environment was chill, they opened the sliding door once the weather cooled down to allow fresh air in from outside.
Pros: Legit vegan options, Good environment, Fast service
Cons: Parking can be a challenge, Could be crowded

A Must Stop and Eat Here type of place - Edit
Love. Love. More Love. So good. So fresh. So wonderful. So kind. Great choices. I love it so much. The country fried tofu needs to become a full blown side option. It’s on the kids menu, and I still order it but it’s so good. Everything here is so good. The best. Stop here every time I’m in Denver. Lovely vibe.
