The Rooted Vegan

This is a great little Food & Drink shop in Angola! The view of the mound is pretty cool and the Protein balls and Peanut Butter Shake were perfect! Shop local shop hometown! This place is great!

This place is such a gem! Kristi and Craig are such a delight to meet and the food is extremely high quality despite being so affordable.

I had the egg-less egg salad sandwich, some kombucha, chocolate crinkles, and even got to try some of Kristi’s pumpkin cookies (they were so soft and tasty - to die for). I overheard Kristi saying that they use fresh berries and I have no doubt just by tasting the food that they only use high quality, seasonal ingredients (another review mentioned the menu switching up).

1000% recommend this small business and I’ll make sure to stop back again!

The food is amazing, the staff is wonderful and you don't miss all the unhealthy stuff because they have such a great variety of food.

What a gem! Stopped by on my way back to Chicago. Very much worth the detour. The Buddha bowl was delicious — as were the treats. I’ll make sure to stop by on my next trip. Healthy and delicious food, wonderful owners.

We love this place. We go there at least 2 days a week. Food is fresh and boldly spiced - highly recommend the Nashville hot, the chik’n bac’n ranch, the pepper crusted bowl, and the nachos/queso - seriously the nacho cheeze they use is better than almost any real nacho cheese I’ve had. The chick’n caesar is our new favorite though, just absurdly flavorful - one of the better caesar dressings I’ve had, genuinely. And it has capers! That is some carefully considered cooking right there.

Baked goods are as good as advertised - cookies are always killer, and their new baby cakes are fantastic. And smoothies! Love the Açaí and the Phar Out.

Christy and Craig are so lovely and welcoming - and great with kids! We’re so lucky to have a place like this in our little town.

Wide variety of vegan food! Very tasty, highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this magical place by accident while antiquing, and The Rooted Vegan did NOT disappoint! As a vegan, it's always exciting to find somewhere that has an entirely vegan menu! We ordered three lunch entrees (there were only two of us, but we couldn't decide! 🤷🏼‍♀😁)! Then before we left, we ordered four or five of the amazing desserts in the case for the drive back home! Everything was INCREDIBLE! We'll make the two hour drive as often as we can. The Rooted Vegan is a true gem! 🤤💚

A great little place in Angola, and one of our must visit shops when we visit NE Indiana. The cafe aspect is wonderful, with fully vegan breakfast and lunch options, and the baked goods leave nice stuff to take home.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect as I'm in no way a vegan, but The Rooted Vegan did not disappoint. We got an assortment of meals & treats (breakfast burrito, walking taco, banana split bowl, cookies) and all were flavorful & satisfying. Furthermore, all the produce involved was fresh & ripe. I will absolutely be back, many times. My kiddos agree!

I can’t even explain how happy I am I found this place! If you’re vegan and tired of not finding a good spot to eat you must try this. I got the veggie sandwich and also tried the breakfast burrito and they were both amazing! They were also so kind and welcoming. To top it off the carrot cake is incredible. Highly recommend and will be going back for more! 5/5

What a space! A cafe style, order-at-the-counter eatery, The Rooted Vegan is incredibly inviting with its spacious seating, lush greenery, and an impressive amount of natural light. Service is prompt and attentive, and leaves you feeling appreciated. Most importantly, the food is exceptional. I'm told the Pepper-Crusted Buddha Bowl is their most popular entree, and I can believe it. That dish packs more flavor into one bowl than the laws of physics should allow. I am also partial to the tofu Egg Salad Sandwich. If you don't eat eggs, you'll love it; if you do eat eggs, this might make you wonder why. Follow either of these dishes with a subtly sweet Pumpkin Butter Cookie. If you have someone to share with, consider an Oatmeal Cream Pie as well!

I'm really glad I stopped in this morning to try something new. I picked a Wild Blueberry Crumble bar and a Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Coffee Cake. Both were delicious! Definitely makes me want to try more items on the menu. Seems like a wonderful addition to the down town area.

The food tasted like real meat! All the sauces and vegetables blended together! Super impressed highly recommend!

Great food and really nice and helpful owners.
We had the breakfast burrito and some baked goods.
The burrito was really good. Great flavor and texture.
The chocolate chip cookie, lemon ball, and no bake cookie were all very good.
My favorite was the chocolate chip, just like mom makes!!
The space is also very nice and clean. It is modern and a local artist painted the mural by the front door.

Top notch experience! The owner Kristi was helpful in suggesting a menu item and accommodating my request to add/substitute ingredients. A Very friendly and genuinely gracious host. Added bonus in offering my guide dog a treat and respectful in her approach. The food was excellent made with fresh and clean ingredients. Highly recommend this establishment. Thanks Kristi!

I’m neither vegan nor vegetarian, I don’t even eat most vegetables, to be honest. The Rooted Vegan piqued my curiosity. I had the 3 pack tacos, and they were delicious! Seasoning is on point and hot sauce packets are available if you like your tacos on the spicier side. They came with a side of what I would consider medium salsa, and tortilla chips (possibly whole grain). The tortilla chips came in handy for scooping up the filling that fell out of the soft shell tacos. Had someone brought me this dish and not told me it was vegan, I wouldn’t have known. It’s that well crafted. I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I’ll definitely go back

I was really happy to find a vegan restaurant in such a small town. The owners were both working the morning I came in and were so friendly and kind. The chickpea salad sandwich and broccoli soup I ordered were both delicious and made fresh while I waited. I was excited to see they had smoothies with actual fresh ingredients, a big step up from the MLM smoothie store next door where everything was powder.

I'm sure I'll be a regular now that I live in the area, though I do hope they find the growth they need to be open a little later (2pm closing) on Saturdays, which was my only even slightly negative impression.

Incredible food! The Buddha bowl was outstanding. Loved the blueberry lemon cookies as well! Staff and owners could not be more lovely!

I have finally found my go to spot to eat! I arrived shortly after they started breaking down their kitchen. Instead of turning me away like any other resturaunt would, they were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The gave me a few options and I decided to go with the black bean nachos. This was absolutely the best meal I've ever had. In my humble opinion this is the best food available in angola!

What a great find in downtown Angola!! Huge menu with no shortage of sweet or savory options. The lemon blueberry cookie is amazing and the impossible bagel sandwich is just fantastic. I have been to vegan restaurants all across the USA, Ontario and Quebec and this place ranks right at the top!! Super duper service too. Whether you're in Angola or you're just driving through this place is a must try! Even if your not vegan - it's worth a stop!
