Roots Restaurant

I was really disappointed when Roots started serving meat. But, I guess meat eaters hold majority and in a recession like this, you do what you gotta do.

That being said, I will always love roots. I'm slightly obsessed with the spring rolls. Some of the food is better than others, and the waitstaff is quirky, but nice. Like the food, some are better than others. The juice, coffee & smoothies are all pretty good, but like someone else said the smoothies are pre-packaged, and that's sketchy. Smoothies should NOT be pre-packaged...ever. I think if a little more work was done at the management level, this place could be one of the best in Bloomington.

Nothing special, but not bad either. The service was ok.

What can I say about Roots? The experience was kind of a disappointment. Although the staff mean well, they were consistently inattentive (worse than the Owlery). I've waited upwards of half-an-hour or more to receive a menu or check (even after complaints).

My experience with the food is limited: I've only purchased a sandwich, and I've not heard anything about their Thai (?) cuisine. Their meat substitutes are fine, but their seasoning is generally bland. Even at around $10 per person, it's just not worth it.
