Thanks, Moshira! I really enjoyed the Pureganic burger. It's a really tasty/juicy meat substitute. My wife got the nachos and the mediterranian sampler and my mom got the stuffed cabbage. Everything was really delicious. Shout out to the strawberry lemonade and the fresh squeezed orange juice made to order! For dessert, we got the frosted carrot cupcake and pumpkin muffin. Sweet, moist and delicious. Overall, you'll eat a lot of tasty food and walk out feeling great. 10/10 will be coming back with my vegan sister.

This is my first time at the Pureganic Cafe and the place is clean and really nice--I came to get…read moresome food and do some work on my computer as well. The employee at the register was very friendly and knowledgeable as I was asking multiple questions. The overnight oats were delicious which I had for breakfast with some maple syrup, raisins and other flavors. I also got an iced tea which tasted a bit sour-something was off with it-I told the employee and he immediately asked if he could make me another drink--so he made me a wonderful cappuccino. This was fantastic--rather than just saying oh well sorry-he offered me an alternative which not all places would do. This was so appreciated! So I am only giving 4 starts because of the cost of the food (but all the food looks fresh and tasty) I had an overnight oats and it was $15-but I do also understand they are using fresh ingredients so cost is higher. I will absolutely be back because of the wonderful service and a perfect place to sit and do some work. I want to come back during lunch time to get some of their lunch options--salad bar, grain bowls etc.

They offer many vegan options and gluten-free options. I brought home a bag of their chocolate coconut energy balls. They asked questions and listened patiently, and I ended up ordering the veggie burger, which was possibly the best one I've ever had on a brioche bun. It came with Russian dressing and onions and was delicious. I'm already planning to return for dinner.

Sandwich-wise: I loved the Chopped Cheese and I usually dislike ground beef substitutes, the…read morePortobello mac and cheese was juicy and had some of the best vegan cheese I've had, and the Cubano has a very distinct BBQ smokey flavor which I'm not a big fan of but I know a lot of people love. The absolute standouts, however, were the Dominican staples made vegan. The Mofonguitos were flavorful bites wrapped in crispy plantain deliciousness, and their Sancocho was a perfect soup: hearty with tons of root vegetables and a really deep, warm flavor profile. I'm already planning repeat orders of these on my next trip, and to try their rice and beans next. Also LOVED the tamarind juice (although I'll gladly consume anything with even a suggestion of tamarind, so take that as you will) Parking was sparse but doable, and there is a nice little sitting area inside with lovely service to boot. Definite visit if you're in the area, and even if you're not! There are few things that make the haul from Queens to the Bronx worth it, and this place is officially added to that list for me.

I'm sure you've never heard of him because you're too young, but we worked for JAQUES MAXIMUM. A little Napoleon that could get the same results even better results without screaming constantly! Nothing like being the only woman in the kitchen and having a bunch of Frenchman, screaming obscene words at you in both English and French. Why I tolerated that I still don't know I really wanted to learn. I was on the line with Alfred Portale, and was his commis. He opened his extremely successful restaurant after Jacque decided he had had enough and went back to France. He came every two weeks straight from the airport and started screaming before he even saw anyone down the long hallway. I'm truly not kidding. Alfred warned me don't look the CHEF in the eye. I think that's the first thing he ever said to me. Then the Anita Hill hearings happens and the backlash was incredible. They would sexually harass me every day and then ask me was I going to sue them? I'm not a violent person, but I felt like taking a kitchen knife and never mind. This was my first job in a good Kitchen and the manager had cocaine running out of his nose when he was telling me that I was only worth three dollars an hour. I didn't go to some fantasy school. I went to the school of hard knocks. My husband and I spoke to Mark a very nice guy, at least to us. Most people don't want to get any feedback and that's a big mistake. We gave him. Our feedback thanked him and left it at that he thanked us as well. We really were restaurant consultants. It's so easy to see what's wrong in the kitchen and what's dangerous in the kitchen at first glance and then when you dig deeper, oh my gosh, it's a wonder we even eat out anymore. If people saw what went on behind the scenes, they would never ever eat out, but we know ROOT 2 RISE is not we repeat not like that. You also sell some great crackers. We can't find anywhere else. We kept the box it is called BETTER BUCKWHEAT. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS AND NOT TERRIBLY OVERPRICED. I think someone might be making mistake when stalking the shelves for crackers and other snacks. Two wonderful ladies were sitting right in front of where the snacks are and when they started looking, we found a few items that are not vegan at all. We don't know how to send this privately, otherwise we would. Phone is terribly compromised. We love your Restaurant and wanted to succeed more than you can believe. We both have been vegan since 1996. We were both vegetarians at about age 11. We really appreciate your great work. Sorry we are terrible at technology and also the phone. She ain't so great.

Reason for stars being removed is I noticed the workers making the smoothies without gloves. And they would touch the food (e.g. frozen berries into blender) with their bare hands. I then witnessed them compiling trash bags with bare hands. Perhaps they wash their hands frequently, just may be safer if they used scoops or some other method to not directly touch foods customers consume, particularly ones that aren't cooked - limit chances of passing germs.

Everything on the menu is vegan, but this should not discourage non-vegans (like myself) from giving Barvida a try. It's simply good, tasty food, and I wish there were locations in my home state.
