What a cute little cafe! We originally went in for herbs but was greeted by such kind faces we tried everything. The service is amazing and the food is great - and I’m not vegan! Highly recommend, we’ll be back 💞

Such a tasty spot! They have a rotating vegan menu with delicious options. Their new location is spacious and has free parking and they're paired with a great tea and herb shop too! The owner really cares about visitors and I've been a happy customer for over a decade! I wish I could eat at DRK every day!

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!!

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 expens

Discover an oasis. Desert Roots feels as if one has been transported to an alternate utopian universe. Several fountains greet you upon arrival. A wide variety of plants hug the walls and fences nearby creating a calming vibe. Staff is relaxed yet attentive. Food is fresh and flavorful. Try the smorgasbord or the wrap. Both will impress. This experience is simple and magic in the same moment. Well
