Root Cafe

This review is for their FOOD. I’ve never stepped foot in their studio. Most days I fast during the day but on the days my body needs more, I order root whole body via Postmates to my office downtown. My orders are always correct, beautifully done, absolutely delicious, on time, super filling and everything it comes in from packaging to utensils to straws are sustainable. WIN WIN WIN WIN. My photos are the Namaste Hydrated Smoothie + maca with the 8 Greens Bowl + Coho salmon + goat cheese and then my go-to Japanese Breakfast Bowl + salmon + goat cheese + avocado.

This review is only for the food/restaurant portion of this business. We are healthy eaters and have traveled all over the world and can attest to the fact that in general... Healthy food may not always be palatable to everyone and it can also be expensive. This place proves that Healthy can be delicious but it can also be expensive. We ordered 2 dishes, the Japanese breakfast and Masala bowl and our bill came to almost $30. The portions are just average but the taste was excellent. I would rate this place 5 stars for taste and innovation, 3 stars for value and 2 stars for service. There's something about the general attitude that exudes a big MEH! Ill be back here because I like the food even if it is pricey and ill just not leave a tip. Yes thats how I feel about self service places where you go to the counter, they take your order, someone brings your order to your table and you bring your dishes back in... you better give me good service if you want even a penny from me.

Root Whole Body in Slabtown is a nourishing experience on all levels. Beautifully appointed with comfort and relaxation in mind, the front desk staff is friendly and helpful without being aggressive in terms of selling their product. I enjoyed a satisfying yoga class with Melissa Barber, who is attentive and professional. She took care to get to know each student. The amenities are first class: The tea room is a comfortable place to wait for a class or service. Kim is their resident chiropractor, and I had a great session with her. She adjusted hips, back, and neck in a gentle yet effective technique that left me feeling much better than when I arrived. I love the hot sauna. And I enjoyed a delicious tea, nibbles, and smoothie at their bar. This is a place you can easily spend an afternoon in comfortably alone or with a friend, and come away feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. Will definitely make this a regular.

Our first time at Root Whole Body was a great experience from beginning to end. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The whole space is clean, nicely decorated and radiates tranquility. We attended a hatha yoga class taught by Melissa. She started the session with getting familiar with each participant's requests and possible injuries and paid attention to tailor the class to fit the audience. The 75 minutes flew by and by the end we all felt rejuvenated both physically and spiritually. It is a great idea that Melissa builds her classes around a particular theme and they all link up as progressive series.

Root whole body is an overall wonderful experience, clean and positive atmosphere. The tea room is lovely and I took two yoga classes with Melissa Barber, who makes her students feel really cared for. She reads your current emotional and physical state and caters instructions and guidance to you personally. Highly recommend.

Root has always provided me with knowledgable, challenging, and talented Yoga teachers. Some of these kind & caring teachers I can personally recommend are Melissa Barber, Erin Wilson, Brittany Kerr, and Erika Bolstad. If that wasn't enough, the variety of classes and workable schedule keeps me coming back on a regular basis. They have a beautiful NW studio and a lot of amenities (sauna, warm tea, showers, relaxing atmosphere). I highly recommend anyone interested in just starting or wanting to grow their Yoga practice to join the Root community.

I had a facial done by Kialy, and it was the most relaxing experience ever! The facility is warm and inviting, and they offer a ton of different services, I'm looking forward to trying more of those out. I totally loved the tea room! A sauna visit came with my facial, which was a perfect finish to the experience. Kialy is super sweet and easy to talk to. My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I've been stressing about some new found wrinkles. She worked her magic, and now I look younger than I did a year ago! She made me feel like a Queen! I have sensitive skin, but have had nothing but a positive reaction. My face feels, and looks more firm and even toned. I recommend a visit to Kialy 100% I'll be back!

I've gotten a variety of services at Root and they've all been excellent. I have to give a shout out to Meredith who I've been seeing for facials for the last several months. She is amazing! My skin has never looked better. I feel that she really listens to my concerns and does her utmost to meet my needs. I couldn't recommend her more!
