Quite disappointing

This is a simple, small café, but somehow it felt like the staff thought this was a Michelin restaurant - and we were the cleaning staff.

Food was okay, nothing special. But the arrogant service made it a very unwelcoming experience.

Cons: Arrogant staff

Would try again

Big wrap was indeed BIG! So, worth for your money. But, it fell completely apart after taking the paper off so I had to it eat like an Ethiopian pancake haha.
Around lunchtime: had to wait a long time :(

Tiny expensive burgers

I ordered two burguers and two wraps from this place. Although it was tasty and felt healthy enough, the amount was just too little.

One of the major issues for me eating out is paying a lot for small portions, felt a bit disappointed.

Pros: Tasty, Healthy

Cons: Pricy , Small portions

Expensive tiny burgers

The burger costs 11,50€, which is a normal price where I come from, which is a city known for being one of the most expensive in Europe. However for this price I expect a normal size burger and what I got was a little bigger than those tiny party burgers.

3 bites and you’ll bite your finger in the fourth.

The patty was tasty and rather thick. Thick enough to make 2 burgers and this way make the price more reasonable.

I had the Italian burger, which meant it had rucola. No other greens, no tomato (would tomato make it less Italian?).
Yes, you can have a salad along with the burger for another 3€ or you can save 0,50€ you give up on the bun... really?

Pros: It’s vegan, Has burgers, Has cake

Cons: Tiny burgers, Expensive

Tiny & pricy

The burgers are good but very tiny, like a tapa. Cost about 11-12€. Definitely not worth the price.
Smoothie and juice delicious but also very expensive.

Delicious & clean food

I hadn’t been here in a long time. I had the beet burger, sesame date ball and the gf apple muffin. Everything was delicious. The beet burger was just as good as the one I always ordered 1-2 years ago and now with a spelt bun. Their muffin is also one of my favorites now. The amount of menu items has increased immensly, and I can’t wait to try them out. As I walked in, some customers were having wraps. They looked mouth-watering🤤 I definitely recommend this place for their clean AND yummy food

Pros: Tasty food, Many options to choose from, Healthy & organic

Cons: Prices on the higher side, but quality & organic

Delicious Healthy & Respectful food

Roots is the best vegan place to have breakfast/lunch/a bit/dinner in Adam. It is a take away but there are some tables available or Vondelpark next door if you like to picnic. Here vegan does not mean soja based or fried! They respect Earth, by questioning the ethics of driving up demand for crops that require high inputs of fertiliser, fungicides, pesticides and herbicides. Every meal is delicious and thought of. The staff is very knowledgeable and nice. I feel I am contributing to make our planet a better place and my body too every time I go here. P.S. best power balls I ever eat!!!

Pros: Take away, pure & biologic , slow pressed juices,

Cons: None

Tiny but cosy

Tiny but cosy place, we had the Italian burger, made up of a quinoa patty with cashew pesto, perfect for a quick lunch break. Friendly service.

Pros: perfect for a quick bite, friendly service

I love the place!

Cute place, great options

Cute place with a really good selection of healthy dishes and drinks, including some slightly unusual options. The staff are friendly and this is a perfect place to come after a walk in Vondelpark.

So Yummy!

My husband and I went as soon as we had checked into our hotel! We found this through the happy cow app and were so pleased when we arrived! While they do offer burgers and sweets such as muffins and ‘choco bars’ they also have healthier options such as wraps and chickpea curries, nut bread and salad bowls. everything is made with good quality fresh and healthy ingredients and when you’re in a new place and just looking for a good healthy meal it’s great to have a whole food place like this available to you! All of the food we tried was soo good and we are planning to head back in the morning for breakfast and a lunch to take with us while we explore Amsterdam! I would definitely recommend a visit to Roots!

Pros: Healthy whole food vegan options , Great breakfast options , Sweets and burgers also available

Friendly Cozy Nutritious Spot

The food was delicious (I had the curry) and the Matcha Latte with almond milk was by far the best I have had. The place is small so it’s good for couple or very small groups, but not large ones. If you come here be sure to get the fresh pressed juice as well, truly amazing.

Close to the Vondelpark (Amstelveenseweg,

I had my first Acai bowl there which was quite tasty. From that moment I fell in love with Acai bowls and started to make them at home.
At the last time I was there I wasn't a big fan of the acai bowl I received but maybe they just had a bad day ;-)

Very friendly staff. They also have loads of other stuff such as a vegan egg salad.

Excellent vegan lunch.

It's a nice all vegan lunch place.

Fresh juices, smoothies, burgers, wraps, salads and excellent dessert.

There are just not so much seatings inside and you might be facing the wall.

Overall excellent place for vegan lunch.

Pros: Excellent vegan lunch food, Lovely staff

Cons: Small seating space inside

Good but pricey

Roots is a good option if you're in the area, but it tends to be pricey for the portions. We especially like the Italian Burger. Be sure to check the ingredients carefully because sometimes stuff you might assume is vegan is just vegetarian.

Pros: healthy

Cons: small portions, pricey

Really good juice

I had one of their juices that were in the cooler, made earlier that day. I can't remember its name, but it had ginger and kale, and totally hit the spot!

Pros: good juice

pricey and small portions

We had an Italian burger for 10,5 euros. It was tasty but small, zero effort in presentation, no side dishes. A bit of lettuce would have done the trick. We literally had to walk next door to have a take away Asian. No value for your money.

Pros: tasty

Cons: portion, food presentation, price

Small and cosy place in Amsterdam

We really enjoyed this place in Amsterdam. We tried the burger, quinoa salad and wraps. The meals are very good if you want to take something with you and eat later while exploring the city. The place is small and cosy; upstairs, you’ll find the perfect place for lunch, dinner or to get work done. The staff was very friendly with us.

Pros: Good value, Friendly staff, Cosy
