Finally had a chance to pop into this cute little coffee shop for a wonderfully made latte and avocado toast. The dining space is bright and cheery with lots of plants on the floor and walls. Service was friendly & efficient! read more

Really love this place but they are literally never open. They treat this place like a hobby and not a real business. The inconsistent hours are so irksome and disruptive. And the reasoning for being closed is always "short handed". Why don't any of your staff stay? As a business owner myself, I'm literally shocked that this place has existed this long. Which sucks because where else can I get a vegan breakfast sandwich? (Also, the owner left a condescending response on my Google review so definitely doubling down) read more

I didn't realize this was a vegan coffee shop. Which is fine but I like my coffee drinks with regular milk and not alternative. So I didn't end up getting anything. My son got a matcha and avocado toast. The toast was pretty good. Its made with local sourdough. Not sure why but there seem to be bees and flies, flying around inside the place. There's plenty of parking. read more

Nice cafe with a surprising amount of seating. Sandwiches were good overall, but none of the breads were toasted. Also, the everything bagel was more of a seed bagel than everything seasoning. The tiramisu latte was delicious! read more

Had a delicious breakfast sandwich when I stopped in today along with a smoothie which was perfect, too. Staff were so nice and welcoming, definitely stop in if you're in the area! The vegan options and all of the beautiful plants add to this cute little establishment. read more

If your looking for breakfast, lunch, or a snack while in the Delmar area stopping in at Rooted & Rind is a must! After getting some recommendations to try it out, we stopped in on a Sunday morning. I did some research ahead of time and checked out their FB page and website. The menu on the website is a bit older and the posted menus have changed but I had my mind set on a sandwich from the older menu. They said it was no problem to make me one which was awesome! To clarify things for all vegetarian/vegan readers, they have real chicken eggs, and JUST plant-based eggs... everything else you see on the menu is plant-based. The cheeses, the amazing looking pastries, the milks (soy, almond, coconut, oat), and all meat substitute sandwich toppings are all vegan. They have a small selection of craft beers, ciders, and hard seltzer. We ordered a coffee, a smoothie, and two breakfast sandwiches. The smoothie was excellent, filled with fresh tasting fruit, juicy mango, ginger, and turmeric. The "Kyle" had a Beyond sausage patty, JUST egg, and pepper Jack cheese with spinach and a spicy aioli. Just off the rail trail we went home to grab out skates and came back in the afternoon to skate from Delmar to Slingerlands then back. When we got there we enjoyed a boozy smoothie with rum and a plant-based vanilla protein and fruit smootie with coconut water. Yes, we stopped by twice in one day! Inside is decorated with tropical plants many of which have clippings being propagated for sale. Definitely drop in, open 7 days a week for from morning to early afternoon R+R is an excellent choice for something healthy or a treat with their variety of smoothies, bowls, sandwiches, wraps, desserts, and drinks. read more

This is a nice find when you are on the trail and perfect since we already walked 3 miles. The place looks nice and I love that they have plants inside. I ordered regular coffee and breakfast sandwich called The Kyle. I didn't realize that the sausage is beyond meat but it tastes good. The garlic ailoa makes the sandwich tasty. The coffee is not that great. It doesnt have that kick. My friend had a lavander matcha lemonade. It's just ok, not too sweet. The service is good. read more

If you are looking for a vegetarian cafe with good lattes, here is the place. I went there with my boyfriend. When I first look at the menu, I immediately think that I'm in California. They have all kinds of smoothies, bowls and salad. Their choices of flavoured latte is different from other stores. So, my boyfriend ordered acai bowl and egg&cheese sandwich. He said the bowl is pretty delish. As for me, I ordered the thai crunch salad and lavender latte! It got me excited cos I never found lavender latte here in Albany. All my lavender-drink/ice creams were all in Seattle or San Francisco (again West Coast). I love their lavender latte, though I would prefer to have stronger taste of Lavender. But overall good. Their salad is huge, and definitely makes you full. Their dressing is just okay. I feel that the Acai bowl and lavender latte are the main highlight. read more

I've been twice because I wanted to ensure my review was on point. Prices are high for the portion size, but the flavor is there. Both times I got avo toast, the second time with an added egg. First was great, second was salty, & the egg with pickled onion was not tasty--but that was my choice to add the egg. First time my drink of choice was white chocolate latte which I drank maybe half of then tossed because it tasted odd. This time I chose the chai latte and that was yummy. Overall I'd return to try more because they do have a good looking menu, but not often because it is pricey. read more

First time here. I got the açai bowl and the avocado toast. Both were really good and tasted super fresh. I would highly recommend this place. The interior decoration is also super cool. read more

So glad to have this find right off the bike trail, near my physical therapy office and other suburban haunts. Love that there are plants all over, so cheery. The menu is extensive but be sure to check the handwritten specials. Had to add the crunchy/crispy gingerbread waffle to my avocado toast selection. Both of these were needed to cure my hangover. Wish this was closer to me.... Would order weekly. My omnivore friend had the vegan blt and gave it a thumbs up. The quesadilla was hot and cheesy. The fresh corn and peppers went well with a yummy whole wheat tortilla. Only complaint is the music.... So annoying blink 182-green dayish sound track. Look forward to coming back. read more

Rooted and Rind - Lots of plants - Salad Near Me - Delmar, New York

New cafe located just off of Delaware Avenue in Delmar (go past the large medical office complex across from CVS). My husband really enjoyed an iced brown sugar latte made with oat milk (only alternative milks are available) that tasted like an oatmeal cookie. I ordered a passionfruit lemonade. It was a touch sour for my taste, but I was able to easily sweeten it to my liking and then it was refreshing and enjoyable -- a great warm weather drink. A chocolate chip cookie we shared was also a great treat. Although I believe the cafe is all vegan, I'd be surprised if the cookie is vegan because I definitely couldn't tell. Get the cookie. You won't regret it. There are lots of smoothies, smoothie bowls, salads, and other options on the menu that look worth returning for. The staff we interacted with were pleasant and friendly. Another thoughtful touch is that the disposable straws and utensils are compostable. The inside of the cafe is filled with lush plants on most available surfaces and along the walls. These plants are available for purchase, and add a lovely brightness and cheeriness to the place. Large windows let in a ton of natural light. Inside, the restroom (unisex) was cute (fun palm leaf wallpaper) and clean. There is no baby diaper changing station, but there is a large dresser type piece of furniture which may be intended for that purpose (?). It looked like there also may be a bathroom accessible directly from outside. There is a good-sized parking lot, too. We sat outside on a paver patio area where there are plenty of chairs and tables for enjoying your drinks and snacks in the fresh air. Rooted and Rind is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I plan to return. Only drawback for me is that the staff were unmasked at the time of my visit. I try to be super cautious, and prefer that food service employees be masked. Others may not mind, but I note here for those who may be immune compromised and/or equally cautious. read more

I love R&R vegan offerings! Their vegan meat & potatoes is excellent, the Thai Crunch Salad is not only delicious but healthy-no excessive salt-mostly veggies, rice & some Thai dressing w/lime -yum! Recently tried the seasonal cranberry/apple grilled cheese sandwich -my new favorite! Oh & just tried the coconut curry soup-wow! My guy loves their vegan chili w/grilled cheese. Usually I get the fresh beet/ginger juice with tomato/basil soup & grilled cheese-reminds me of childhood. The smoothies/bowls are good-I always make alterations because I'm not into protein powders, dried fruit, sweet(I like fruit!). I don't recall the name of the most recent bowl I had(may have been sunshine?) but it was excellent!-pineapple, mango? So good. If you have a flavored coffee, etc & don't like after taste for the non-sugar flavors, make sure you check if your flavoring has sugar or the alternative(don't recall what it is). I always cut down on flavoring to cut the sweet taste(I do that everywhere-not just here). The owner and staff are always helpful even when super busy. Occasionally I get a vegan pastry or a Maine State root beer-excellent. The ambience is lovely-very relaxing-& love the pong pong & corn hole outside in the summers! Indoor/outdoor (covered & not) seating, water bowl for your pups, great parking, really beautiful, relaxing, comfortable eatery offering, IMO, excellent options. My favorite vegan day-food in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The food is healthy and delicious. I normally don't like healthy food since I never thought it tasted good. The locally sourced, fresh, yummy ingredients made the most AMAZING avocado toast. I had a fried egg put on top. Best advice from the owner, Nicole. Highly recommend Rooted and Rind if you're looking for really great food and such good coffee. Don't know what to get? Ask! They'll steer you in the right direction! read more

Restaurant had great service and a good atmosphere. I had high hopes after seeing the extensive menu. When I got my food everything was presented nicely, but the food had no flavor, not even salt or pepper which is the bare minimum. I was extremely disappointed especially because the cost of the food wasn't cheap. Overall the restaurant has a lot of potential. However, I personally don't want to pay top dollar for food that has no flavor or seasoning. We've moved past the days of flavorless Vegan and vegetarian food, and it would be nice to see the food reflect the progress that vegan and vegetarian food has made within the past 10 years. read more

I wish I could eat the grilled cheese and tomato soup everyday... and I don't usually like soup. its so so good. Not sure if its the quality of the cheese or bread but I could eat it for every meal. While the grilled cheese has been my fav so far, everything I've had on the menu is great - egg sandwiches, smoothies, coffee, waffles, salads, smoothie bowls, cookies etc. Delmar really needed a place like this. Food came out quick and the staff member who took my order was very friendly. They are always playing really great music and have live music on occasion too! read more

So happy to have finally made it here! I had the Thai Crunch salad and my husband had the veggie burrito - both were so fresh and delicious! Excellent coffee too! read more

I really love the salads. Very large and fresh. The Thai crunch is one of my favorites. All their dressings are home made. yummy smoothies and fantastic coffees too. don't mis it. the owner Nicole is super open to any changes you might like in your food. We go for the breakfast sandwiches every Saturday too. oh and the fresh juices!! We should all support small business. read more

Picked up a coffee and a burger this afternoon. Quality of the ingredients is quite good, although the price seemed high at first. After the first bit, I was sold! Definitely going back to enjoy more! Loads of layered flavors from start to finish. read more

I really want to like this place but the food I've had there is just bland. I ordered Thai crunch bowl. Looked nothing like the photos shown here. What I got was basically an uninspired salad. Almost all romaine lettuce, a sprinkling of dry, cold rice and a helping of tasteless supermarket tomatos. The tofu was very bland and also very sparse. Dressing was nothing special. I could not detect any "Thai" flavor. My last visit I got their beet bowl ("Rooted") which also lacked flavor. I'm not sure what the problem is with these bowls. the ratio of grains to greens is definitely off and the rice should not be cold. The dressing shouldn't be the only source of flavoring. Roasted pumpkin seeds would be better than raw. And Thai food always has some heat. Sorry I couldn't give this place a better rating; it is super cute. read more

Delicious healthy meals and smoothies and bowls. Cute vibe inside the store and nice seating area outside as well.

Cute spot with tons of gluten and dairy free options. Great service and beautiful space!

Amazing new vegan cafe in Delmar, unlink any place in town! Meticulously decorated and welcoming staff make this my go to place. There are so many great options for any time of day. My personal favorites are the oat milk latte, blueberry chai smoothie, California cobb salad and buffalo wrap. Don't let me forget they even have mimosas which make for a fun brunch! read more

I've went to this place twice after runs on the rail trail. Got a smoothie first time and an açaí bowl the second. Both were great. Well made, healthy, tasty and fast Made by very friendly people who don't mind a sweatball in their nice place. read more

tried this place a while ago and was hoping for the best but alas, not great. overpriced smoothies and mediocre coffee.

Delicous Açaí bowl and 10/10 service! Very impressed with Rooted and Rind and will definitely be returning there

Really great cafe. Lots of plants and a fabulous outdoor patio when the weather is good. Everything I've eaten has been fantastic! Addicted to their Lattes. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is outstanding. Love the breakfast sandwiches and toasts! Oh and the waffles are amazing too! Great mimosas we had with brunch. My service was fantastic and friendly. I call ahead sometimes and my food is always ready and waiting. The R+R is my favorite smoothie. Smoothie bowls are huge! And the lattes! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this new cafe. Everything I have tried on the menu has been delicious and I love the atmosphere. The staff is always pleasant and helpful and I love their outdoor patio space. This is exactly what Delmar needed!! read more
