Root and Vines is a family-owned all organic/natural "cleanse and juice bar" in the fancy, chic, and classy town of Bronxville, NY. It's located at 4 Cedar Street (between Pondfield Road and Kraft Ave., behind the CVS). They have all kinds of healthy food: juices, smoothies, veggie and salad bowls, and baked goods (paleo and gluten free, of course!). Of course, it's also possible to just order a cup of coffee or espresso. Even better, they carry matcha tea, which goes great with the gluten free baked goods or any bowl from the menu.
Speaking of Matcha (as my regular readers know, I love it for the mental focus I get from it), it's a caffeine alternative without the jitters. I regularly come to Root and Vines for the PERFECT MATCHA BOWL (it comes with Matcha, mama root, spinach, banana, pineapple, coconut, almond butter, dates, almond milk, and chia -- topped with raspberries, mango, almonds, and shredded coconuts. (In short: ANTIOXIDANTS that will energize your mind.)
Everything they sell contains no artificial sugar. (Instead, they use maple syrup or honey.)
It's a small juice bar/café but you can sit and read or log in with their free wi-fi. Another cool thing I like is their Rewards System: all you have to do is enter your phone number when you make a purchase (of $5 or more) and you receive a star. Once you get 10 stars, you are legible to get a FREE juice, smoothie, or healthy snack bar. (There's no need to carry one of those annoying punch cards around. (I always lose cards like that anyway!) HERE they make it easy to get free stuff.
Root & Vine is open 7am to 7pm M-F and from 8-5 on weekends. To join their Facebook page or check out pictures, go to their Instagram (@rootvinejuicebar) or Facebook (root and vine juice bar). I hope you see the value (over the alternative chain options) at this family-owned restaurant (over the chain health food operations).
I'm feeling so healthy and energized after drinking my matcha latte and eating my matcha bowl, I'm ready for the gym! Peace Out! When you come, tell my gals Steph and Amanda behind the counter that Domenic sent you. They're both so nice!
