"Roots Cafe is a beloved Holladay staple and if you want to support a great local business, you should absolutely stop by. For me, personally, the food was very underwhelming. I can 't quite put my finger on it but everything tasted quite bland and..earthy? I *think* just looking at their menu that part of the issue for me is that they might cook more on the organic side so I found myself craving more punch in flavor. I had the crepes which are stuffed with a citrus mint ricotta and topped with a berry compote. Sounds amazing right? And yet, it was very boring. Normally, when a restaurant is using fresh local produce, the flavors might stand out more. I 'm not sure if it 's their sourcing or...

Good food, with tofu substitutions for dishes with eggs. Wish the tofu had been seasoned a bit more.

Best breakfast in SLC! The wait on the weekends is pretty bad but is always worth it for us. EVERYTHING on the menu is quality and so good, which is hard to find! Great service and vibe too, especially the patio.

Great food all around. From the spicy French dip to the steak and eggs, from the homemade strawberry jelly to the country potatoes...amazing flavors with mild twists throughout. 20 mins but not atypical for a Sunday lunch. Cody is an amazing employee who is always willing to lend a helping hand, definitely a local fav that we will be back to. Atmosphere a little loud inside due to the coffee grinder and 20 conversations at once

"I speak as a tourist. I was delighted this place has dedicated, on-the-menu options – as it is apparently open late, it would seem to be worth keeping in mind for that reason. This, and the empanada's great value, lead me to give it three stars. That said, there were some oddities. I got the vegan arepa and the vegan empanada. They were both filled with *exactly the same ingredients* and the empanada was bigger than the arepa – but the arepa costs more than 2x as much. Given these circumstances, and the fact that I liked the empanada more, I can see the empanada being a great deal for a vegan looking late night or for a bit of variety. Both of them were on the bland side, however, and far from imaginative. I did enjoy the plantains in both; otherwise, it was mainly black beans and some avocado. (From the menu, it appears that their several vegan items seem mainly to be rearranging these same ingredients. The small amount of chimichurri I was given added some flavor and was ok, but did not knock my socks off. None of it was bad, and I do think they made at least the arepa fresh with decent ingredients, but there just wasn't much flavor. Finally, they use big styrofoam packaging for to-go, which is actually enough to mean I would avoid eating here again. (Not being a local, I don't know how common this is, but I know it's not even nominally recyclable in SLC and that not all places do it. Updated from previous review on 2021-09-05"
