Root 2 Rise

By Kathleen Bennett

Are you looking for delicious, healthy food that you can eat and taste out of this world? Well, Root 2 Rise is the place for you, a 100% gluten free, vegan, and organic eatery in the heart of Pleasantville, NY. 

 

Root 2 Rise has an array of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

For breakfast you have the choice of muffins (pumpkin spice), scones (cranberry pecan, chocolate chunk), bagels (plain, sesame, everything), toast (mumbai cheese, mushroom, smashed pea avocado), and even chia pudding. You cannot go wrong with any of these options, they are all delicious!

 

For lunch and dinner you have the choice of a variety of soups, salads, burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and sides. 

 

Here comes the best part … DESSERT! Their brownie bliss and chocolate chip cookies are out of this world! Not only are they delicious, but they are very healthy too. There is no better way than to eat the foods you love and not feel guilty about those few extra pounds because you are consuming many important nutrients.

 

If you have celiac disease, like me, then you know it is difficult to find “edible” and delicious foods that bring you back to when you were a kid, eating all the wheat in the world.

 

At Root 2 Rise, they sell artisan bread loaves in half or full sizes. The bread is so flavorful, and made of buckwheat flour, that all buyers would choose full-sized without a second guess.

 

If you have celiac and are looking for fresh (not frozen) bagels that are also delicious, Root 2 Rise is the place for you! Everything is made fresh daily, stop in and get some lunch or order it to go.

 

If you thought it could not get any better, just wait. On the holidays (including Super Bowl Sunday), Root 2 Rise has a holiday menu, which you can order in advance and pick up your order a day or two before the holiday. 

 

Some of the holiday items include cornbread, stuffing (Thanksgiving), vegetable lasagna, game day nachos (Super Bowl) and many more yummy dishes.

 

Chefs Jyoti and Michael Kagan “…believe food is the most powerful tool we have to take control of our health. We bring you the nourishment of plant powered Mother Earth; completely hormone & cruelty free.”

 

Next time you are in Pleasantville come on by and experience this for yourself, enjoy!
