My only complaint is that my order was made incorrectly and with the wrong ingredients multiple times, but the staffs were kind enough to give me a refund. Other than that, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious bowl. They have a wide range of ingredients, customizable options, and affordable prices, they truly have something for everyone. It’s a bang for your buck.

Love Roots and their yummy bowls, but this is a shouts to the awesome Lily for helping me get my order fixed after I drove home and realized, hey, this isn’t what I ordered. In hindsight, should have realized at the store, but hey we all make mistakes (obviously, this story starts with one!). Thanks for being fantastic, Lily 🙂

They are very on time with the pick up orders. The salad bowls are tasty. The quality of the bowls aren’t super consistent, especially with the amount of ingredients and dressing.

Usually they do great. But most recently they’ve run out simple ingredients with no alternatives and still charge you for it. They messed up my online order and they don’t have a way to review the order in the app.

Roots Natural Kitchen, Charlottesville did the catering for our rehearsal dinner and it was fantastic! The food was so delicious and fresh! All the guests loved it. The delivery was right on time and ordering was super easy! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I love Roots bowls! So delicious. The pick up was more crowded now that students are back in town, so don’t assume you’ll find parking easily if you are driving to pick up your order

Very bad delivery. Even replied to me when I told them to take their creative liberties (and gave the parameters thereof) . Waited around, repeatedly called, and got no response to my delivery order. No response well within their listed hours. Hours later, I got a second “thanks for your order” email well after they closed for an order 24+ hours after the initial order. They wanna make it up? My religion allows for peaceful resolution. They don’t? Better Business Bureau and Cville Police will be contacted so they don’t harm people in weaker positions than mine!
