The food is good and they use excellent ingredients. Delivery is reliable. However, recently the…read moreprices have been going up and the serving sizes (especially meat) have been getting much smaller. I understand about recent inflation and I am okay with spending more on good quality food, however it has become exorbitant-- $35 (plus fees and delivery) on a salad that says it feeds 2 people yet barely feeds one person. I could go to a nice local restaurant like Mentone and get the same sized salad freshly made for $18. $48 for meat entrees that are supposed to feed 2-3 people yet have one small chicken breast and feed one person. It felt expensive yet worth it when I started with Golden Roots a few years ago but now it costs $190 per meal to feed our family of four, because we need two entrees and two salads for it to be enough food, including fees and delivery. We found another delivery service that uses organic ingredients and is a better value. I will miss Golden Root's food.

I would never think I would be able to afford having a service like Golden Root, however I find not only is the food super high quality and cooked to my preferences it is actually economical for me. Groceries are so expensive and to buy the ingredients to make dishes like this is cost prohibitive. It is also cheaper than eating out every night. The servings are generous, the recipes are really delicious and they switch it up, but not so much that you don't get excited to see new favorites back in a few weeks. They use compostable packaging and jars and paper bags that I returned so there is zero waste except for one type of small bag they use. I also like that I can be on the "a la carte" plan, chosing the meals and the quantity myself each week. You can also do a subscription where they take care of all the planning for you and it happens automatically. We pick order up at the yummy smelling little shop on Tuesday afternoons. They always have delicious treats at the front table and the sweet staff hand over the goods. I feel so good supporting a local woman owned business who hires locals and uses local produce and ingredients. It is everything I want to support. I realize that for families this might be entirely too expensive but if you are single or a couple maybe check them out!

NEVER will I be suckered again. Went we spoke to them about our disappointment, they said we don't care a lot of people that buy our pizzas.

The crust at the original location was a cut above as were the ingredients. Now however, the crust is not good at all. Like frozen but not as good as that. The ingredients were OK.

Great selection of doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos. They also offer a great selection of coffee at the self-serve coffee bar. Incredibly affordable prices, too. Decent seating inside. Great for us on a very hot morning. I loved the apple fritter. Not the best I have had but good. The burrito was large. Easy to split and share or to save half for later. Filled primarily with egg, but there was a fair bit of bacon as well. The service here truly shined. The gentleman who served us was kind and hospitable. He offered to cut the burrito in half when I asked for a knife. He also made sure to brew fresh coffee when the one I wanted was out, although there were other coffees available. The many 5-star reviews here are certainly well deserved.

I had seen his sign for months at 31 Mesa Way driving up to our beach house and decided to order his Cinnamon Buns. They were great.

He has a menu he emails once a week with other great items like scones, stromboli, savory pasties, etc. Will love to try some of these on his menu the next time we are in town. (Email him at bobbybaker1133@gmail.com to request the weekly menu.) I haven't been there, but he also sells his baked goods at the Corralitos Farmers Market.
