Roots Miami Kava Bar & Vegan Eatery

Love this spot great vibes good eats and relaxing drinks..

Best vegan Mac and cheese I've had from any establishment period.
Also great staff, ambiance, and selection of drinks and other foods!! Lovely place to spend a relaxed part of the day out

Wonderful atmosphere, late night rendezvous begin here. People who regularly pass by are quite interesting and most nights you can end up talking to someone about almost anything, from musical instruments to postmodernist philosophy. The first Friday of every month is salsa night. They have many little recurring events such as open mic that keep people coming.
Kava itself is an interesting drink, the after effects I've found are greater openness in conversation, calming effects, if you take too much you may find yourself as happy as alcohol might make you except without being drowsy or slow. Kava just makes me a bit happier and more talkative.

Over all, this is a fun place to take good friends who want a nice night.

I'm a carnivore but I also love my veggies, especially when they are disguised to look or taste like real meat. Roots Miami Kava did justice with their meatless creations at the Spring Roots event collab with @TryThisMiami (IG) Folks, I'm now a believer!

This dining experience featured a prix fixe menu so guests could sample the different vegan concoctions offered by Roots. We started with a toast of some kava drink. Honestly, it was a little muddy for my taste but then again, this was my first time tasting kava. The first item on the menu was the Chicken Tenders. I couldn't even tell the difference. It was super crunchy too. Next was the Beef and Bean Empanada. Freshly baked, flaky and piping hot. The third one was the Angry Mac. This was my favorite. It was simply superb. The pasta was al dente and a good amount of gooey cheese. It was super tasty that I got another bowl to take home :) The fourth one was House Slider with Fries. Another favorite of the night. Fries were perfectly crisp and the slider was scrumptious. Last of course was the dessert but I was surprisingly so full so I skipped it and gave it to a friend. I'm sure it was also delicious because everything before that was just that. This prix fixe menu was only $31 and it was more than enough.

I'm glad that I was able to experience this event. Roots Miami Kava is on 2nd Ave but going opposite of Wynwood so it's not on the busy strip. I'm telling you, folks, it's worth the detour. Besides the tasty vegan food and variety of kava drinks, they also have live performances or open mic on some nights. I will definitely come back so I can educate myself more on kava plus get an Angry Mac of course :)
