Canned cocktails yes please! Quick service, hot food. High quality. We had the pad Thai and Falafel. Both were excellent. Falafel had great textures and flavors throughout. We got dairy free dessert for tonight! Staff even asked us about allergies! We really appreciate that! Took home the chocolate fudge pudding, it was delectable and decadent. Granted it was $6 and they charged me $8 and no one is answering my emails. read more

Delicious, fresh, great location, friendly and helpful service. Great atmosphere, plenty of seating.

I came here for a vegan speed dating event and overall was quite pleased. The atmosphere is very cool and the menu has a decent variety - all very wholesome and raw which I LOVE. Everything is vegetarian and can be easily made vegan upon request. I ordered a vegan sprout head sandwich which I believe consisted of spring mix, daikon sprouts, carrots, tomato, avocado, and hummus on a delicious toast. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, but at $9 with no sides it's a perfect example of how OUTRAGEOUS the prices are. The cookies are all $3-5 dollars as well, but thankfully I got one for free as they were closing. All in all, it's a great spot but be prepared to pay a lot for a little... No luck with the speed dates in case you're wondering... STILL SINGLE!! Haha read more

Vital Root - Vegan Sprout Head Sandwich - Vegetarian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I am no means a vegetarian-I eat meat or almost every meal so when my friend said this place was really good, I was skeptical. However, this place WAS really good and can see why it has good reviews on yelp! I got the falafel sanwhich which had really crispy falafels and the taziki sauce had just the right amount of tang. I also ordered the yuca fries with their ketchup and ranch. They were very crispy and had some nice spice to them. My friends ordered pad Thai which had some good spice and flavor to it. The price point is a bit high for the portions but even if you're not a vegetarian you can find something to like here! read more

I came here for happy hour, only to discover they have temporarily suspended it. A little disappointing but alas. I was expecting an ambiance similar to the other Edible beats restaurants so I was surprised that it was more on the fast casual side. Walk in, order and then they bring it to your table. It would be nice if you could more easily keep a tab open, especially since they have alcohol - just a suggestion. I also wish they had menus to hold or a phone QR code option because for the petite person it was up very high and difficult to read. Once I managed the ordering process, staff was really friendly and made some good suggestions because they knew I was between multiple options. Went with the falafel wrap at someone's recommendation - it was AMAZING. Total for an alcoholic beverage and wrap with tax and tip was about $27 - a little pricey for fast casual. They are planning to bring back happy hour so if that happens I will be back to see if the value can bring this place up to 5 stars. read more

I've always loved this place. It's this interesting mix of casual/bistro dining but something about it is a little classy as well. They have an excellent inside/outside set up and it's just super cute inside. I've been probably five times now and everything I've had so far has been delish. Service is friendly and efficient, and it's never so packed that I've not found a table. Definitely great even if you're not vegan, you'll definitely be eating clean and healthy here :) read more

Airy open front restaurant with many vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free offerings. The restaurant also has a patio but we sat at the front of the restaurant to people watch. There was plenty of shade and the chairs were very comfortable. We selected the Korean bbq "wings", a sweet potato dish, and pad thai. I also ordered a cold brew coffee, after learning they were out of the ingredients to make the Chagacinno. The cold brew was smooth and refreshing. I love that they offer 3 types of self serve water including sparkling! The Korean bbq wings were not quite what I imagined from other cauliflower based was wings. It's hard to explain but these were more like tempura battered broccoli and cauliflower with dipping sauce than "wings". Regardless, we enjoyed it. The chili lime sweet potato had an interesting flavor profile I couldn't quite identify - it wasn't "chili" sweet or hot and it didn't taste "limey" aside from the lime wedge that accompanied the bowl. I wasn't really a fan of this one. The pad Thai was the star of the meal! Bursting with flavor and the perfect balance of crunch from the peanuts as and the veggies and chew from the noodles. I would come back again just for this dish! There's many other options for us to try, so I'm sure we'll be back again. read more

Definitely a must try vegan restaurant. In an amazing neighborhood so much culture so much art 100% yes. We ordered the chicken wings which were made out of cauliflower and broccoli scrumptious! Queso nachos on point! The salad with beets and arugula Was so amazing. It's so important to get food that's not only healthy but tasty and this place definitely satisfied my eyes visually and my taste buds ! Five star experience virtual route 4 thumbs up read more

Might be the best vegan food in Colorado. Fast casual, comfortable atmosphere and a genuinely kind staff. Had 6 hand picked vegan eateries for my trip to Denver and this was the only destination that I insisted we return to one more time before we left Denver. The food is fresh, unique and delicious. If you're vegan, vegetarian or just a person who likes tasty food... this is a can't miss eatery. If it's out of the way... plan around it. Not kidding. read more

So glad I finally made a point to eat here after having it bookmarked for so long!

Will be back! read more

First time trying this place and will definitely be coming back! I had the "Reuben" that was made with beet root veggies and so fresh. I had the beet lemonade with it and it was all so delicious! We sat outside on the covered patio and the noise level was perfect and not too loud. Looks like they grow all their herbs out here too. Only reason to not visit weekly would be the price, but definitely a place to check out! read more

I can't believe it's not meat/cheese! This is a cozy fast casual concept offering vegan and gluten free fare on Tennyson st. They have a huge patio and nice indoor seating (both at tables and counter tops facing the street for people watching). The meals were flavorful and filling, and quite enjoyable, even though my husband and I are carnivores! Expect to pay for the quality ingredients (our lunch was $40) but you won't be disappointed. read more

Good food. Lots of different options. Always pretty fast. It is a little expensive tho

1st time here. I tried to come on weekends but they had a line out the door. You order at the counter and they bring food & beverages to your table. They have indoor seating, a covered back patio, an open to the sky front patio and a counter facing Tennyson St with a broad windowed garage door. The menu is 98% grain free and 100% gluten free. The have a broad selection of soft drinks, ciders, iced teas, kombucha, smoothies, coffee drinks, Gruvi non-alcoholic beer, canned cocktails & wine. Also free growlers you can fill with still or sparkling water. I had an appetizer: Hummus & Fried Artichokes. What a nice collection of flavors and texture. The hummus was accompanied by sliced cucumber, carrots, radishes, green olives and chickpea nuggets. The fried artichokes were crunchy outside and hot inside. My main dish was Sunflower Risotto made with roasted mushrooms, roasted corn puree (actually looks like rice), tart cherry chutney, queso fresca and basil. I added chicken for a protein ($5 extra). I had a Green Ginger smoothie made with spinach, avocado, kale, parsley, cashews, pineapple and spirulina. A very green but not sweet smoothie. The cashews were sprinkled on top. For dessert, I had a Beet Brownie. It tasted like chocolate with a beet cream frosting. Texture is just as chewy as a wheat flour brownie. They charge a 3% surcharge so everyone including kitchen staff get a tip. I added a 20% tip on top. read more

Very cool, hip spot with tasty, but pricey food! I went here with my mom & dad when they were visiting me in Denver. They were hesitant because they weren't used to this type of food (vegan, hip...modern, unique, idk??). But the atmosphere really drew all of us in. I got the veggie sandwich which was very tasty - not super big but just enough food at that time. My mom got the kale salad, while my dad got the tacos. We also split a carafe of mimosas, which was refreshing. No one was blown away by their food, and it was all a bit pricey for what it was BUT it was still good and I'd certainly come back to try some of their other menu items - they all really do sound great! read more

First time customer and I ordered the falafel wrap. I was excited because this place is vegetarian and 100% gluten free. The wrap is very flavorful and the falafel is tender and moist.

We loved this place! Ordered tacos and Korean bowl. Both so good, very different, extremely flavorful especially the taco which had a nice freshness. Portions are good for Individuals and the entire menu is exciting. We are going to come back to try the other items for sure. It's on a nice street with street parking available. Note no high chair or changing station for babies but they have a nice small play area! read more

I've gone to vital root a few times. I decided to try their family meal. Boy I'm glad I did! It was two entrées two appetizers and two desserts for 30 bucks. I'm telling you this is a deal! I don't know that I would've ever paid $6 for dessert there but I'm telling you the tiramisu was worth it! I'm not even sure I can explain why it was so good I only know that it was. The meal was probably enough for four people for $30! And I know Viral Root can seem a little pricey because they use such quality organic ingredients with the creativity to make vegan seem every bit as good as a piece of filet. Well I know these deals are going to go away with Covid but I think I'm gonna find myself wandering by this restaurant a lot more in the future. And if anyone is listening please bring back unicorns on horseback in the Halva! read more

Wow, what can I say about this Mary popping type venue. I felt like the further in I went the more was to be seen. From the front row seating to view the street activities to the back room mob type feel, it is unrivaled with the different events and occasions that can be had here. The food!!! I got a bit greedy and went for the yuca fries, cauliflower wings, and some of their desserts lol. I can't say I remember the names to all the things but I can tell you this, not a crumb was left on my plate. I even got a container of the banana ketchup, look don't judge me. It was fire and the condiment you never knew you needed hahah. The service was lovely and answered all my questions and I was able to speak directly to chefs and others at the venue which added just a bit more refined and exciting touch. This was an amazing adventure of my tastes buds and if you go get the yuca fries but get all the sauces on the sides. If you like French fries get ready to have your mind blown. read more

Located in an amazing strip for boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Parking in the middle of a Thursday morning was no trouble. The menu is amazing! Great selection for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, or a combination of all three. Great coffee and cocktail menu for anytime of day as well. The food prices and atmosphere were on the fast casual end, but the quality of the food was far above the places I would typically go for fast casual. It's not quite date spot vibes, but absolutely appropriate for an outing with friends. Plenty of indoor and outdoor dining options. You order at a counter and bus your own table. read more

Stopped in today for lunch. It was an impromptu stop in and glad we made this choice. I had the chickpea salad with added falafel and I must say the falafel and it was some of the best I have had. Lightly fried and not overtly spicy. We all cleaned our plates which is a great testament to how well we feasted. They provide fresh water for all which is great. Also, it was easy to make adjustments like leaving off cheeses on dishes. The atmosphere is also very cool with a garage door to let lots of fresh air in. Loved it all. read more

I am not vegan, but if I could could vegan food like this, I would be! The hummus was the best I have ever tasted and it was a generous portion. I had the Sambar Bowl and it was incredible. Everything tasted on point, it was a big helping, and although I felt full afterward, I did not feel bloated or gross. My sister-in-law had the Bahn Mi Tacos, which looked tasty. The only thing that I wasn't "wowed" with was the beet brownie. The atmosphere is very cool and I loved the open-air deck in the back. There is even a narrow children's play area if you want to bring the littles. I will definitely come back! read more

I am giving four out of five stars only because of the drink service. This is a counter service restaurant and when someone orders a coffee drink it can hold up the line because the cashier has to make it. This maybe a one off time and someone had called in or needed the day off. If it is normal operation it really holds the line up. The food was very tasty. We had the green curry tofu scramble, carrot ginger soup with pears, and the pad Thai. I would definitely order the pad thai and soup again, the tofu scramble is standard. If you only get to eat here once I would definitely get the pad thai and/or the soup. Our beverage choice was the glacier water (aloe, coconut water, and spirulina) and it was very refreshing and would also get again. This is in the Berkeley neighborhood, which also has cute shops, breweries, and bookstore to check out as well. Can easily spend a few hours in the neighborhood. read more

Vital Root - "Everything Bagel" Avocado Toast - Vegetarian Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Long before the Highland area became a trendy hotspot, it had its own culture. Today though, we have Vital Root!! FOOD: Incredible. As someone who regularly goes on Vegan/Vegeterian month long food journeys, I'm always excited when to try yummy food that reminds me classics. I had the Korean BBQ "Wings" (broccoli/cauliflower) served with ranch and bbq sauce and Yucca Fries served with chimichurri sauce. Both veggie options were ON POINT with familiar flavors. I love that yucca is chewy-- to me it's an upgraded fry by nature. SERVICE: Stellar. I placed a to-go order and it was ready as promised and the server was helpful at pickup. ATMOSPHERE/PARKING: The chillest indie cafe vibe. It's the kind of relaxed atmosphere where you could opt for meeting friends, conduct business, have a cute date, or just pickup and go without a hassle. I didn't have to park, but there is street parking right out front (just dont try to park during peak hours). Overall, I love this spot. Not only for the food, but they also sent a love note (seriously) along with my to-go order/thanking me for my business. No...thank YOU Vital Root ;) And next time? I have my eye on that Sprout Sandwich. read more

I popped in for dinner with a co-worker and was pleasantly surprised at how spacious and quiet the restaurant was. I loved that we could seat ourselves and order from the counter. So many great choices! I had the banh mi tacos with the "chicken" and they were delicious. There were many drinks to choose from including boozy kombucha. I went with the unleaded kombucha, but it's nice to have both options. For dessert I grabbed a tiramisu cup to go and it was perfect. The most difficult part of the evening was deciding what to get. I'll just have to keep coming back until I've tried it all read more

I had high hopes when I strolled in on a weekday afternoon for this place but the food and prices really let me down. Ordered the Pad Thai which base cost is 17$ plus 4$ for the tofu leading to a plate costing 22$+ with taxes. They then prompt you for a tip even though this is counter service and a server will never once interact with you. The flavor was really a let down with no great interplay on salty, sweet, and spice that you'd expect in a great pad Thai. Really a disservice to the dish and Thai cuisine. Portion was decent but given how cheap the ingredients are and the outrageous price I'd expect a little more. The service was okay but again since it's counter it's very limited so not much to say. Ambience was decent as there is a large dining room and patio to eat on but their chairs were not very comfy. read more

Vital Root hits the spot just right. Wow! I can't believe it has taken us so long to discover Vital Root. My husband has celiac spru, so Vital Root's 100% gluten free menu is perfect. Vital Root is definitely one of the better gluten free and vegetarian restaurants! For starters, they offer Happy Hour deals from 3-6pm Tues-Sun, which is awesome - you can get Korean BBQ veggie wings for $3, and the bahn mi tacos for $2 each. Wine and cocktails are $5. We ordered the following: the juice of the day (a carbonated cherry juice), the Korean BBQ veggie wings, bahn mi tacos, sweet potato fries, and the sprout head sandwich. The veggie wings were fried cauliflowers with two yummy dipping sauces and were delicious. The sprout head sandwich included avocado, white cheddar, pickled vegetables, daikon sprouts, tomato, and red pepper hummus. My husband ordered this and I tried a bite - it was fantastic and I am definitely ordering one for myself next time. My husband said the sandwich and wings were his favorites, and he was pleased that the sprouts were not overpowering. I had the bahn mi tacos with edaname pate, lemongrass tofu, pickled vegetables, sriracha aoili, and fresh herbs. I had to take off the jalapenos because they were too spicy. The tacos themselves have a pleasant and enjoyable little kick. If we weren't planning on geting dessert afterwards, I would have ordered another set of tacos - they were so flavorful! Vital Root has both an indoor and outdoor seating area. We sat on the outdoor patio which was a pretty cute area, with potted herbs along the walls. Friendly staff and casual, light atmosphere. We will definitely be back, five solid stars for Vital Root! read more

I have came here twice and did not disappoint. Very fresh ingredients. I was able to eat the tacos substituted with egg and the risotto (recommended by the cashier) with some house fries in one sitting. I am a very picky eater despite being a vegetarian. The flavor combinations are perfect for people new to trying vegan food. The coconut margarita is fresh. The restaurant itself is very nice. Especially when the roof is open. The dishes and silverware appeared to be clean. The napkins are blanket sized so one is enough for the whole table. I go at less busy times so service was fast. Not a lot of people vibe with me so customer service wasn't good nor bad. I plan on trying the rest of the menu. Going to try desert next time. read more
