    Seasonal Harvest Bowl
    Thao V.

    The food is always bomb for a vegetarian place. We are not vegetarians but just love the food and pizza here. They also have CBD drinks on tap. Service is always friendly and fast.

    This second visit was night and day compared to our first visit. Everything and everyone was on point. Cassidy (sp?) was a pleasure to meet and took great care of us. Our appetizers and entrees arrived in a timely manner and everything tasted great. We will definitely stop by the next time we're in MH!

    Returned for lunch after visiting once last year, glad we did! * Parking: Dedicated multi-story lot right around the block, super convenient. * Location: Cozy footprint with indoor & outdoor (sidewalk tables & dedicated alley) seating options! * Staff: Kind, attentive, super-fast. Thank you, Nicki! * Eats: We tried the C.R Burger & Bourbon Bakon Burger - both delicious to the very last bite! * Drinks: Great range of beers on tap, bottles, cocktails, & wine. We had tasty Lager & Pilsner. Tip: Not a vegan or vegetarian? You don't have to be to enjoy Craft Roots' delicious eats - it's super tasty food across the board! We'll definitely be back to try more dishes & drinks.

    Caesar salad

    We just hit town and were looking for a nice place for a late lunch and Craft Roots filled the bill. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of beers on tap. I opted for the Pliny the Elder Did I mention this restaurant is Vegan? It is and fantastic. I had the Fiji apple and fig salad and my sweetie had the Caesar salad which had some amazing grilled mushrooms! They have so many options and have a brick pizza oven and lots of interesting choices to try there. Can't wait to go back next time we're in town. Highly recommended

    Chili Cheeze Fries
    Rachelle O.

    The food is so tasty, I came 2 days in a row. Icy was my server. Super nice and explained the menu. And she remembered my name! My favorite was the Japanese Cauliflower. And really, everything was good. 1st day, I had the Japanese cauliflower and teriyaki bowl. 2nd day, I had the chili fries (this sauce is vegan? Yes) and Korean bowl. The owner said hi. He's hard working. Never sat still. He's definitely a working owner. Maybe this is why this restaurant is so good. He talked about the Maitake burger. Will have to try it next time. The dishes were so inviting, I dug in before taking a picture. Apologies. The dish will not look as good. Btw, nice size dishes!

    This place was so fabulous, so happy our friends found it for lunch. The parking structure was nearby so it was pretty easy. The restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait for too long. There seating in the inside and the outside as options. Our waiter and the staff were friendly and really great. The food was absolutely delicious! The pizzas had a nice touch and were flavorful. The appetizers and portions were great. We really enjoyed our fried chicken sandwich. It was super crispy and the flavor with the condiments were great. Absolutely recommend!

    CheeZe and pesto pizza
    Michelle B.

    Driving through town, craving a great beer. Our local was closed. Now what? Let's see what YELP has revealed. There in the review, Russian River Brewing Company, ON TAP! Check the menu, let's go. What a great welcoming locals hang out. The entryway is steep, wouldn't recommend crutches or a wheelchair, use the side entrance. Once inside, a few tables, a bar for about 8, television on in the corner and a wood burning oven all aglow awaiting the next paddle of dough. The mood was laid back and comfortable. This was our first time in a total vegan restaurant. We had already settled on a great beer, now what do we eat. The menu has something for everyone. We settled on the cheeZe pizza. A handmade, wood fired pizza. A little skeptical, how will vegan cheeZe taste? DELICIOUS!!! The perfect amount of tomato sauce, a robust pesto and some of the cheesiest cheese ever! Nothing to take home but a warm feeling and a full belly. We enjoyed so much, we came back again. We had half cheese and half "meat." We will look for something like this close to home. Until then, a great place to share and remember.

    Margarita pizza
    Rebecca C.

    Great service, great food, cool vibe! I was so skeptical beforehand but I loved Craft Roots so much! The kombucha was amazing, the margarita pizza was pretty good and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer is a MUST have!!! I appreciated that they had gluten free options as well.

    this place is awesome! large patio for dogs. we are visiting from out of town and ate here twice in the span of a couple days. food is fresh & you can tell how intentional they are with their ingredients. the service is great, both our servers were super friendly and they gave us water for the dogs too! Nice AC inside and overall just a chill place. highly recc the chocolate mousse, nashville hot chikn sammie, beet salad, caesar salad, garlic knots! anything with their mushrooms is fantastic.

    Nashville chik'n sandwich
    Brian W.

    Absolutely spectacular, fully plant-based restaurant in downtown Morgan Hill. Service is super friendly and the food is SO good. Now I have to figure out reasons to drive 45 minutes to get here again and again. Good beer selection as well. It's heaven on earth!

    Hibiscus Elderberry Tea - Unsweetened ($3)

    Roots on the Ground 100% vegan restaurant located in Downtown Morgan Hill ironically next-door to the Meat Sweat Paradise, aka Trail Dust BBQ--which the owner of Craft Roots used to manage for ten years. The brainchild of local couple Justin and Nysaa Gaich, Craft Roots has been serving up delicious seasonal creations using the freshest local ingredients and a sophisticated bar menu to go along with. The Good: *It's vegan without pushing the whole radical vegan agenda that some places do. They're just focused on the food and that's as it should be. *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Great selection of local brews on-tap *Reservations thru the Yelp app, as well as a Yelp Waitlist *Menu changes seasonally *Service on both our visits was outstanding. And our recent server, Isolyn, was excellent; friendly, genuine, and attentive. *Loved the flavor and char on their pizza crust that had a nice chew to it. *Their Fried Cauliflower bites are fantastic; we've had both the Buffalo and the Korean BBQ ones and they're both fantastic. Just depends on how you're feeling: heat or sweet heat. *Nashville Hot Chi'kn was hearty, crispy and had a decent spiciness. *Fries are fucking delicious. Crispy, fluffy, and well-salted. *Carissa loved her Power Bowl which reminded her of a really flavorful fried rice dish. The Meh: *Pizzas are delicious but be prepared for an extra wait, so pro tip: if you want pizza order it asap. The Ugly: *DT Morgan Hill can get busy at certain times, so parking can be an issue. I did see a parking garage nearby but I'm not sure if it charges or is free. Conclusion: Fantastic vegan eats, service and ambiance in one of our favorite Downtowns in The Bay. Highly recommended--and this is coming from a big meathead!

    Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
    Gem M.

    Food was great! The Buffalo Cauliflower Bites were a 10/10--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the ranch. I had the Bourbon BBQ Burger, which was solid & the side of Chili Cheeze Fries was tasty. I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and even have dedicated gluten-free fryers. The CBD cocktail was refreshing as well. Service was quick and efficient--our server was attentive and friendly throughout. The ambiance was great too, and I loved that they offer outdoor seating

    Ask the Community - Craft Roots

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes, the whole menu is or can be substituted to gluten free. Our frier is dedicated gluten free. So anything fried is gluten free. We have GF buns, pizza crust, and flatbreads. Just make sure to tell your server.

    Is this all vegan food?

    Yes, 100%.

    For someone with some hearing issues would it be better to be inside or outside on a Saturday for lunch?

    I think outside is better. The inside is small. It may be noisy.

    Is there a happy hour?

    Hello, No Happy Hour at this time but stay tuned for a Late Night Happy hour on the weekends. We will post on social media when we go live.… Read more

The Rotelle di Parma was very rich, with the abundant cheese. Service was ok. When mentioned a lobster ravioli may be out, it was already out awhile ago! Requested bread twice and was stingy with the garlic. Bummed they did not have aperol spritz. Sat outside which was not the best ambiance, highly recommend to eat inside. Not very elegant outside and no design or decorations to create that elegance appeal. NY Steak Penne Pasta Special $50 - 4/5 Rotelle di Parma $26 - 3/5

Coming from Westminster in the OC then moving to San Jose, those two areas I was always around viet food so coming to this place I tried to give it some leeway since I know since moving to Morgan hill there is not many places to gather Vietnamese ingredients to cook at home The banh mi itself needs work. The baguette came out pretty dry. For their selection, it seems like they try to add multiple variations of banh mi meats into one rather than the way other banh mi places do specific meats per each sandwich. (Thịt nướng , chả lụa, heo quay) The pate and mayonnaise were lacking. The đồ chua or picked daikon and carrots were kind of lackluster. That being said it seems like one of the few places to get banh mi in Morgan hill, I do feel that they should not be charging such premium price for their sandwiches. If it was cheaper then I wouldn't be so harsh as "you get what you pay for". Not the case here
