Convenient healthy and quick - Edit
This was right outside the train station and was a very cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The vegan menu was varied and food came quickly and was well presented and tasty.

Changed ownership - Edit
Simplifying the menu and card might enhance the overall experience. The food is edible yet lacks a spectacular touch. On a positive note, the juice was tasty

Delicious vegan pizza and good options! - Edit
Lots of vegan options! Had the vegan pizza with avocado. The vegan cheese was one of the best I’ve had and the pizza was cheap! Will be coming back.

Great variety of vegan options, amazing staff - Edit
I love it! It's simple, very well located, the food is great and the staff is amazing. I was in a junkie day so I ordered a beyond burger but they have 3 more vegan burgers options and a variety of other healthy options. The banana bread is vegan and gluten free and it's awesome!

Pros: Burger options , Banana bread, Smoothies and juices

Oat milk lattes - Edit
It’s hard to find dairy alternatives in cascais so I thought I would add you can get an oat milk latte here downtown. It is spendy, but you are in tourist central.

I stopped by just for a coffee and a piece of vegan lemon cake but I will definitely try the brunch there, since they offer lots of vegan options

Sweet cafe with lots of vegan options - Edit
We wanted something quick and healthy for lunch and this cafe was perfect . My partner ordered the burrata wrap (he’s vegetarian ) and I ordered a vegan wrap which I customised with ingredients I wanted. The wraps were tasty and the fresh juices really great. We also got the croquettes which were too soft and a little disappointing . Good vegan menu though so lots of options!

Is it still open? Yes & No. Changed ownership. Changed Menu Radically. - Edit
I was under the impression this Vegan and Veg-options Organic Café had closed sometime ago and at least from the outside menu, food look, options and information it seems it has changed ownership.
Read morePlease feel free to look for yourself comparing the new Menu - Photos - Et cetera to the old Roots Café https://www.facebook.com/rootscafeportugal/
Both the menu and the food are radically different from the old concept of Healthy Organic Vegan & Veg- options with Locally Sourced Organic food food available i.e. there are still Vegan and Veg-options on the menu but nothing compared to the old real Roots Café. Different vibe, different food. It has kept parts of the name but it is now Roots Café Pizzaria and changed allot!
Updated from previous review on 2022-06-22
Pros: Had Locally Sourced Organic food available, Had different, different food energy&presentation, Was radically different
Cons: Area far too noisy, Area far too busy, No atmosphere

Hi - HappyCow has different categories of restaurants and Roots Cafe is listed as Veg-Options, meaning that it is not a fully vegan place (they serve meat), but there are vegan options.

Wonderful food and service - Edit
The owners opened right before covid hit and they have managed to maintain a beautiful cafe located right by the little train station. They are enthusiastic about vegan dishes and our food was terrific. They have indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome in the outside area. Great service too. Highly recommended. #Veganuary

Disappointing - Edit
We ordered the avocado toast, smoothie bowl, iced coffee and golden milk. Smoothie bowl was fine as was the golden milk. The toast was one piece of stale bread with mashed avocado, no seasoning, it was not good. The iced coffee was the worst I've ever had - tasted like dish water. The total bill came to 25 euro which was too much for what we got. It's a pity because it's a lovely location. Maybe they were just having a bad day?
Read morePros: Lovely location.
Cons: Overpriced. Food was bland. Stale bread.

We really enjoyed our midday snacks from this cafe. Cute environment and helpful staff! We got a strawberry smoothie and a vegan sandwich- both were very good after a long day at the beach! Would recommend.

A good lunch spot - Edit

Not many vegan options. - Edit
I was there quite early so the cabinets weren’t fully stoked with the vegan treats others mentioned. I opted for a vegan sandwich, with GF bread. I was starving so I ate it but it was very average & took ages to come out. This place could be amazing, it’s in a super good area & it’s a lovely space.

A quick snack - Edit
If you are looking for a quick snack and a quick service this « Café » is the one. Not to many vegan options since this is not a vegan Café but overall if you want to grab a quick snack they offer a delicious wrap, avocado toast or vegan hot-meal of the day.
Read moreThey also offer a vegan-raw chocolate mini cake which in my opinion was not sweet enough to fully appreciate the taste of the chocolate.
I have to mention the bathrooms were very clean.
Pros: Quick and cheap, Fresh and tasty wrap
Cons: None
