I am 58 and live alone and work full time. I raised a family and cooked and cleaned dishes for 35…read moreyears. 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!

I appreciate that everything is organic and lovingly prepared plus there are such interesting flavors that I would never have the time to prepare. Each week offers a variety with a few returning yummies, like the turkey chili and fritatas. Prices are fair and I like that much of the food is delivered in reusable glass jars. I have also been getting the gorgeous flower bouquets recently, which are from a local women-owned growing company. It's an awesome local business!

At first I was impressed, and then my experiences lately have been disappointing…read more When I first visited Fonda Felix I was more than overjoyed to discover a spot that served Argentinean style empanadas. Tucked away behind a corrugated metal door and a colorful menu makes the operations of Fonda Felix quite interesting. There is a bell to ring for service, but the staff are often stretched thin which leads to inconsistent wait-times for orders. The first series of initial issues began a few months ago with slow and inconsistent service times. Despite ordering to pick-up at 11:30AM, we often had to wait upwards of 15 to 35 minutes to receive our order. Often there was no one else outside and after ringing the bell five to seven times, we were able to speak to someone. In addition, months ago they had forgotten our chimichurri sauce and a vegan empanada. These things happen so we figured it was a one off experience and part of the growing pain of owning and operating a small business. Then a month of two ago, we placed a group order at 10:00 with my coworkers on a Thursday online for pickup at 12:55 PM. Google says they're open, their phone message says they're open, and the absolute kicker is that their online order page was also open. Unfortunately it seems that a person had called out sick and subsequently the store had forgotten to turn off their toast. I understand that their operation is small, but after that many months that incident became a tipping point for me to avoid ordering from here for a while. My wish is that as they grow, they can find themselves a more visible and permanent shop so they can address these issues.
