Went here 3 days in a row while visiting family… Huevos Ranchos and Grassroots Burger were absolutely delicious! My only regret was not sampling any of the frozen treats circling temptingly in a rotating display!

Too good to be true Wholesome food, generous portions, and lovely local vibe. I tried this gem over the 4th of July weekend and fully expected a long wait time. To my surprise, the service was pretty quick. Much gratitude to this establishment for the nourishment!

I am low key angry that I don’t live in Bend and can’t try everything on the menu. I had the hummus salad bowl and it was DIVINE. Fresh, huge portion, delicious! This place is a gem. Really natural, healthy food, a vegetarian’s dream. 11/10

The best acai bowl in Bend! Salads are also delicious, and if you order ahead pickup is always speedy.

I was just there and ordered a Quinoa and Hummus salad to go. I waited for about 15 minutes for them to make it, and got back to my office and – there’s no hummus. I complained about it here on the internet and they kindly refunded my money.

Great vegan options! Walking up to what looked like a converted auto body shop set the tone already. Such a cool space with amazing food. Had the Grassroots Burger and it was so good. Loved the sprouts and sauce on it. Also had the Açaí protein bowl as a nice treat.

The food was good and the portion was generous. Only two stars because our credit card was charged more than once, for someone else’s order. When we tried to call, no one answered the phone, and we couldn’t submit an email through the website. Had to call the bank and submit a dispute. I’d advise you to pay cash if you choose to eat here.

We tried the kale salad, BBQ burrito and nachos. Everything was spectacular! I have no idea how they elevate something as basic as nachos, but they do!! They were SO good. The kale salad was HUGE. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you want something a little healthier. The other menu options all sounded awesome.
