My wife and I have been waiting for this place to open for quite some time, so it was very possible that we would be disappointed (with great expectations can follow great disappointment ). We also went with our two young boys, who are used to the likes of Benihana and MOD pizza, so the fully plant based menu had us somewhat scared we would have to feed them a second dinner when we got home.
Happily, we all loved Blossom and Root! Here is what each of us loved:
8 year old - he loved his coconut milk + lime mocktail, the jam with the bread plate, the grilled sourdough, the olives, & the edamame from the Poke bowl. He thought his mac and cheese was good too, and that says a lot coming from someone who has had a lot of mac and (animal-based) cheese.
10 year old - He is the least adventurous eater of us all, but he loved the grilled sourdough, the rice and ginger sauce from the poke bowl, and he found the lemon chips curious but tasty.
Wife - She ordered half the menu, and really enjoyed the seed bread, the Poke bowl (which she demolished, I didn't even get a taste ), and the Masa cake. She didn't love the B&R burger - she may hold the cheese next time.
Me - I didn't really not like anything. My favorites were the Gazpacho, Farsotto, and the Masa cake, but as someone who hardly drinks, I also loved the Watermelon sangria.
So we will be visiting again!
We also had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to the owner after our meal. She was welcoming and gracious and I love that she has used her personal experience making amazing vegan food for her children to open Blossom & Root.
