The restaurant is modern, clean, and bright. The staff is professional and polite. The bowls are flavorful and the portions are ample. I've enjoyed this type of restaurant quite a bit, they deliver in the flavor department and do it promptly. I would certainly stop at Roots again!

I typically opt for the "Backyard BBQ" chicken salad and it's delicous. They have several other pre determined options or you can build your own. They also allow substitutions of their ingredients. I've never tried the grain bowls here as I believe that's a fairly new addition to their menu. The restaurant is small with some outside seating but ambiance is limited -- more of an eat and go kind of spot. Pricing is comparable to Mezeh, Roots, Playa bowls and other similar "healthy" options. Most menu items range from $12-14/each.

The spicy foods were actually spicy, and the falafel was fresh and not dry. Definitely my quick go-to salad/ fresh bowl place for now. It is cold and cafeteria-style. Great option for state college. 4/5 Ambiance: modern/ industrial fast casual looking interior- tile-like wall is pretty, as are the jars of pickled vegetables and the cage lattices separating the dining high tables. Overall a clean feel and not too sterile feeling, though it may be on the border of being a bit too-bare-bones. This is the kind of place I could see bringing someone from out of town to. Music was really loud, as seems to be the style at these kinds of places, which could make quality conversations hard to do. 4/5 Service: Service was good. I ordered three bowls and they were served promptly. It didn't seem like anything special to make the dish, the server was literally looking at the recipe on the receipt and putting scoops of each into the bowl, which makes sense, especially for custom made bowls. This destroyed all imaginations of a chef custom making a dish to be tailored to the seasons, etc but the food was still tasty. (0/5 Bike parking: after looking I couldn't find a place to secure my bike) 5 : I will actively tell other people to go here 4 : I am happy to go back. 3 : I will go back if a friend suggests it. 2 : I will go back if someone is really insistent. 1 : I will not go back.

Their broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl is still amazing every time but my favorite was always the Italian combo. Service is always extremely friendly and the orders are always prepared correctly! If you work on campus, this is a great place to order online and pick-up. I've used the online ordering many, many times and never had an issue with anything being wrong or cold. Bring back the Italian combo and I'll up my review to 5 stars :-) PLEASE

One gal was just standing staring into space literally for minutes at a time. I could tell because I was standing waiting for over 30 minutes to get a salad and a drink. They had some kind of expediter who was doing some sort of checking, but apparently was mostly just looking harassed and irritated. The gal in front of me was missing part of her order. Mine looked ok until I got back to my hotel and realized they forgot salad dressing. On the plus side, the salad was still good, even though it was a little dry with no dressing. Although Panera is usually a "go to" while traveling for breakfast and lunch, I will find someplace else to eat tomorrow!
