I used to love this place. Now the portion sizes are so minuscule and prices insanely high. I'm not a person who usually notices prices and I'm generally happy to pay a lot for an ethical product but it's gotten out of hand. More importantly, I'm sad to see they're going along with mainstream media narrative that you must be vaccinated to enter without a mask. I could even understand if they said you must have immunity to enter without a mask. For an organic mostly vegan health establishment to value an experimental mRNA injection over natural immunity.. well I'm just not sure how much hope we have left. They are free to set their own rules now. No governmental body is forcing them to do this. It's places like this that will keep following the slippery slope into tyranny. Soon if you don't present them with digital proof of government injections you won't be able to eat there. Please, Roots prove me wrong. It's time we start thinking for ourselves before it's too late. ----------- Old review from September 12, 2012: It's such a delight to have this place in Valparaiso. Everything is organic. Fresh smoothies and juices made while you wait. Smoothies run anywhere from $4 to $8. Definitely try the Acai Bowl. It's a creamy, frozen concoction topped with granola and your choice of bananas, goji berries, coconut flakes, cacao powder or a whole list of other choices (vegan except they put a little bit of raw honey on top of the granola). You can personalize the Acai Bowl however you like. They also serve salads, quinoa bowls, small wraps and baked goods (usually muffins). There are a few tables and couch and chairs inside. Free wifi. Free street parking out front. Updated from previous review on 2013-08-29
