Roots Café — Restaurant in Northvale

Hidden gem!!!

I just started a vegan plant based diet, and I can’t express my gratitude enough, that I was lucky to find the most incredible plant based cafe, right in my backyard.

I also learned they have some free form events, e.g., musical and otherwise. Sounds like great fun given the mellow vibe.

PS: Don't miss the pet turtle... ...and a trip when a train passes right out...

The food is amazing and the tacos are nothing short of fantastic! I randomly found this place via a online search for spots to eat in the area and this one establishment struck my curiosity. I'm glad I went with my intuition and made the short trek to the farm and give it a go. My second trip here and still just as awesome as my first time! They have desserts and juices as well all made from ingredients grown on the farm/locally. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. They also accept Credit/Debit cards as well for those of you who never...
