Our first stop was Root, a casual cafe and juicery. The space inside is small, but the food is great. Plenty of fresh squeezed juice options are available, along with house-made lemonade and ice tea.
We decided to skip the drinks and head right over to the tempting food menu. After several minutes of debating, I finally decided on the Macrobowl and Mike chose the Torta.
Macrobowl
I was satisfied with my chosen meal, a delicious combination of quinoa, kale, chick peas, carrots, avocado, gochujang aioli, and citrus miso vinagrette.
Torta
Mike enjoyed his Torta, which included a combination of chili-limed beans, jalapeno, tomato and pickled onion served on a bun. The side of herb fries (parsley and herb olive oil) was delicious. I had to sneak in a few myself.
Even those with allergies and food intolerances will find it easy to choose a meal thanks to allergen guide (each menu item is marked according to allergens contained in the dish). In addition, gluten-free wraps are available. Check out the full Root Menu.
I was very pleased with my experience at both Root and FoMu. I would recommend either as a healthy & delicious choice, not only for vegetarians and vegans, but anyone else looking for a healthier alternative.
Address: Root is located at 487 Cambridge St. FoMu is located at 481 Cambridge St. Both are located in Allston, Massachusetts, just a 10 minute drive from Boston.
