Desert Roots Kitchen

Truly such a magical place in a secret magical portal in mill ave!
This food is always so delicious and what’s on the menu is never the same.
I love being surprised with new creative recipes every time! It’s such a pleasure to witness such divine food! Also the staff is amazing!

Thank you always!

I met up with a friend here. This was our first time! Overall good experience for the most part. This is a friendly vegan vegetarian small business owned cafe. The menu changes daily with fresh items. They gave me a candle for my belated birthday in beans nice touch. It's hard to find and although there's no indoor seating it's in a beautiful courtyard tucked away. It's also a little on the expensive side but you do get a lot of food for your money! 😀

This was one of the best lunches I’ve had in a really long time! I don’t usually seek out vegan restaurants, but I will be a regular at this great spot whenever I’m in town! The flavors were incredible, and the service was fantastic! I enjoyed sesame peanut lentils, strawberry coconut kale salad, and ½ a pineapple habanero red bean burrito. Amazing!!

Hard to find but just keep following the building number around to the little hidden courtyard in the center! So cute. Like a little secret garden hippie kitchen eatery. The food was healthy and fantastic. We ordered smoothies (yum) and the “smorgasbord,” which was essentially a bit of everything in they had on hand. The 2 girls working were happy and took time to describe the menu despite being very busy.
We are staying at a local hotel and will definitely be dropping in when we visit Tempe again. Nice job ladies.

I'll begin by saying that there's no actual menu at this location. They do list what they're offering for the day on a small brown paper bag, but it's all crammed in there and there's no descriptions of the food. I was disappointed by this because I had no idea what I was ordering unless I asked, but I didn't have the time or willingness to ask about every single item.

I asked about a couple of items and ended up going with the wrap of the day. I don't recall the exact name, but it had the word rainbow in it. (There wasn't anything colorful about it, oddly enough, so I'm wondering if my order got mixed up.) The wrap was okay but it was kind of boring in terms of flavor. It was a decently sized wrap, so it is enough on its own to fill you up.

I also tried the Rabbit Food side. It was colorful and tasted fresh. I'd probably try it out again if I'm craving something healthful.

I'll probably give this place another try, but I really hope that they start adding descriptions about the menu items to help the customers decide on what to order.

I do think I got a good amount of food for my money and I love that this place is all vegan. I'll be here again. I hope it's better and easier next time.
