    Açaí Bowl
    Adriana G.

    Heavenly. Absolutely everything I needed and more! This is my new favorite spot for açaí bowls because it's truly a hidden gem. So many topping options and base choices to create a multi-layered bowl of deliciousness. My favorite base was the matcha and I loved the fresh fruits with agave. Fast and friendly service in a casual, welcoming environment. Excited for my next visit!!

    Jessica G.

    Yummy açaí bowl spot! They offer unlimited toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and honey, along with different bases such as açaí and chia pudding. I ordered a medium bowl with 4 different bases and multiple toppings, it was the perfect size to share. They have seating inside so we enjoyed our bowl at the shop!

    My bowl made by the GODS themselves haha

    I really enjoyed my bowl here it tasted authentic and was perfect for this hot sunny day they do not skimp out here and the customer service was on peak.I definitely will be telling my security buddies about this place and will come here often it was my first bowl here and definitely won't b my last.Try it out I'm very picky when it comes to my açaí this place had everything I need.Great Job Roots and Rye definitely a hidden gem.

    Acai Bowl - small
    Tiffany Y.

    I got the small açaí bowl with chia seed pudding, hemp heart granola, blueberries, bananas, goji berries, almonds, cocoa nibs, almond butter, and honey drizzle. The açaí is delicious, creamy, and not too sweet. Balanced well with the nut butter and burst of blueberries. The chia seed pudding was a perfect pair with the açaí. It was refreshing and a perfect summer treat. The small alone was very satisfying. Would recommend as it is a 10/10 for me. The unlimited toppings means limitless creation. Would be returning.

    So delicious and the service was great! amazing vibes from the place. They had me sold by the unlimited toppings! So yummy. My bf and I shared the large.

    Smoothie $9.95
    Jessica H.

    My favorite smoothie/bowl place. Everything is fresh and it's always build your own smoothie for only $9.95. You honestly can't beat that, and you can included protein powder and no extra charge. If they had rewards, that would be amazing but it's probably not needed lol

    Came for breakfast during our trip to Pasadena. The açaí bowls were okay. The toppings were good but the açaí could've been better. It wasn't very sweet and kind of bland. My daughter ordered half açaí and half overnight oats but they forgot to put the açaí. I went back in and they gave us a small scoop of açaí in a separate bowl. I tried a bit of her overnight oats which she didn't finish and I didn't care for it.

    Solid place for acai bowls and everything was super fresh. Love the option of building your own bowl and how you can designate the date/time of when you want to pick up your order.

    Small acai with oatmeal, blueberries, almonds and vanilla granola
    Lori R.

    Nice quality. All four of us enjoyed our bowls/smoothie Note the small is very generous. Limited seating.

    BYO acai bowl.
    Albert A.

    Okay acai bowl with below average customer service. I would say the value is below what you pay for, not worth $13. The taste is good it's an acai bowl but not as delicious as I've had at other places. over all service and product are 3 stars. Staff is not friendly. They're not rude but they don't go beyond the basic actions of taking your order and putting g toppings on a bowl.

    Jennifer C.

    Huge fan of this place. Whenever I come into town before or after spa, this place is perfect for a light pick me up. Their avocado toast is heavenly and perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper, everything, and chili pepper flakes. The acai bowl base we got included the acai, coconut, and blue majik. The bases were not too sweet and the coconut was very creamy and flavorful. Everything is fresh and the service is always friendly.

    Build your own Acai Bowl
    Miranda C.

    Quick and easy build your own acai bowl spot. The service was super quick and they gave a generous serving of toppings. Heads up it's a grab and go place-- small shop and no place to sit inside. There's a bench in the front if you absolutely have to sit though.

    See all

    Ask the Community - Roots & Rye

    What taste would you compare the blue majik too? Is it on the fruity side or bitter?

    Definitely fruity. They described it as coconut, pineapple, maybe mango? Kinda like a pina colada. Not as strong. Mild flavors. YUMMY!

    Anyone know what brand gluten free bread they use?

    Approx how much sugar is in a bowl? Natural or added?

    My estimate for a 24 oz bowl is between 50-90 grams of sugar. More if you add agave or honee.

Despite the sidewalk swell of hungry patrons, our party was swept into a booth with a speed that felt less like luck and more like a well-oiled logistical triumph. The aesthetic is a love letter to the mid-century diner: a curated "old school" charm that avoids the trap of kitsch, opting instead for a warm, lived-in nostalgia. It is the kind of room that feels as though it has been buffering the neighborhood's hangovers and triumphs for decades. The Service: A Masterclass in Restraint Our server possessed that rare, intuitive sense of timing--the "attentive ghost" who appears exactly as a coffee cup hits empty but vanishes before the conversation loses its momentum. In an era where "helicopter hospitality" can feel suffocating, the staff here maintains a refreshing brevity. We arrived with a picky eater. My toddler, will not eat if it's isn't familiar. So luckily the kitchen didn't falter, pivoting seamlessly to a bowl of jewel-toned strawberries that bought the table ten minutes of blissful silence. Enough time to scarf down my pancake. Delicate bacon and perfectly scrambled eggs. Russell's doesn't need to reinvent the breakfast wheel; it simply polishes it until it shines. It is a reliable anchor in a sea of over-conceptualized brunches. One doesn't merely eat here; one joins a rhythm. I'll be back for an encore.

Tu sais, il y a plein de restos français en Californie, mais celui-là est différent. Plus intime, plus sincère. On était une table de huit, et à un moment donné, le proprio est venu nous saluer. Un geste tout simple, mais tellement chaleureux et élégant. Ce genre d'accueil, ça ne s'oublie pas. Les serveurs et l'hôte sont tout aussi charmants, super accueillants, attentionnés, avec une belle énergie. Il nous a raconté qu'il est arrivé de France après le secondaire, puis qu'il a ouvert cet endroit après ses études. Il y a quelque chose de discrètement admirable là-dedans. Et maintenant, ils pensent déjà à s'agrandir... peut-être deux autres adresses à Atwater Village. Très bien. Le menu est plutôt style déjeuner/brunch--léger, bien portionné, rien de trop. Mais l'ambiance... c'est vraiment là que ça brille. Douce, cozy, pleine de charme. Les œuvres aux murs viennent de France, et ça donne une vraie âme à l'endroit, ça se ressent. Je dois dire que c'est assez rare que je ressente une ambiance aussi chaleureuse dans un resto français. On se sent accueilli, un peu comme chez quelqu'un. Pour huit personnes, environ 300 $, c'est vraiment raisonnable pour une expérience comme ça. Si tu passes dans le coin, ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y arrêter. Bravo Oh La La... à bientôt

Not gonna lie was worried about a fishy flavor but my first bite was savory, buttery and delicious. Bravo! Hubby tore into his croissant and I never got a bite. It's ok. Loved my quiche. My salad had a tad too much acid (vinegar heavy) so I'd work that for the future. Truly a gem of a place.

I ordered takeout through an app and they forced me to pay gratuity through the app, as they lock the option to remove gratuity. Then when I went to pick it up to pay, there was additional gratuity on the check that was separate for what's in the app. And then the app had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to add additional gratuity. I reached out to the owner and he ignored my concern. During my interaction, the host was kind but could not do anything about it. She asked the manager who did not come out of the back to interact with me. I was told that I needed to pay both gratuities, in app and in store. So at the end, I ended up paying 30% tip. If I didn't have a family at home waiting for their meal, I would have just left. I will never return to this place, and I would not recommend that you go either. It's so easy to just pay and not pay attention to the itemized receipt. This place is a total scam.
