rootbar

we needed something like this in the southern suburbs! tried the sunshine juice which was great and the almond butter toast and my friend had the fresh mint juice and chia party. all really good and fast, will definitely be back

so glad the southern suburbs finally have a fresh exciting juice bar. tried it out today and loved it! fresh, heathy and delicious! everything you'd expect from a juice bar. raw lasagne was light fresh and tasty! i'll be back to try more!

very enjoyable! delicious smoothies with every vegetable and fruit juice combination you can think of. i had a passion smoothie with banana, granadilla, mango, baobab powder and dates. all i can say is.....yum!

do yourself a favor and try the chocolate smoothie bowl. it will change your life. it's everything you want a smoothie bowl to be in terms of texture and flavor. i usually ask them to add some protein (whey or hemp) when i'm there after gym. i've had a few of there smoothies and salads which are also pretty tasty. i try to avoid going between 12-2 because it gets very packed and it's a pretty small place but if you're willing to brave the rush, that chocolate smoothie bowl will not disappoint!

raw lasagne was exceptionally tasty.
smoothies are average but very affordable.
would be worthwhile to have a choice of gluten free as an option for bread.

rootbar has definitely become one of my favorite health food takeaway joints. compared to kauai and other similar places, it just stands out by miles! and conveniently located on uct's doorstep, it makes for the perfect quick and pocket-friendly meal for us students.

i always have a difficult time deciding which smoothie i want to order, but so far every single one that i've tasted was heavenly. extremely fresh, thick packed full of vitamins and minerals, it's like the ultimate health shake. the caffe energizer is a truly unique mix, with that touch of truth coffee making for the perfect "pick me up" sort of drink. i'm also absolutely in love with the blueberry shake, and still on my list to try is the paradise, protein powerhouse (after a hectic gym session i think), sweetheart... actually, let's just say i want to try all of them. that's how good they are! totally next level!

as for the food, the wraps are tasty but quite small. perfect for a light lunch, but if you're starving, order yourself the wrap plus a 500ml smoothie. perfect combination! the salads are fantastic and i would highly recommend giving them a try. always fresh and full of flavor, even though it doesn't look like much from the sidelines. and their protein is always good quality and juicy. still on my bucket list to try is the vegetable lasagna, their gluten free brownies and protein power balls.

service can be quite slow during lunch time, but well worth the wait. the space is a bit small and the staff seem a bit stressed, what with all the orders streaming in. you feel a bit pushed to the side, especially if you're on your own. but they seem efficient nonetheless (at least they've never gotten my order wrong).

overall, a highly recommended spot for a quick lunch or just a smoothie on the go. you can be guaranteed of fresh ingredients and a wonderful combination of flavors that leaves you feeling satisfied and healthy.

stunning little place that i stumbled upon in newlands. great ambience, food to die for, friendly staff, and very quaint. plus, it's health oriented so you don't have to worry too much about calorie tracking! five stars, and would definitely recommend.

i'm so happy to have a health food place in the southern suburbs. and one that has truth coffee. although they do not have a halaal certificate, the owner / manager informed me that they are halaal.

wanted to try their salads, but they were sold out. had the chicken, pesto & avo wrap which was toasted. it was warm, yummy and flavourful. the wrap was served on a custom "rootbar" board. unfortunately the portion sizes are small. the wheat-free brownie and cuppacino were also really good. there prices are very affordable too.

would be better if they had a bit more variety of food options, bigger portions and had salads available.

local is lekker! i often find with health juices they look like algae on hartebeastport dam and smell like the ass end of a veggie patch... this most certainly not the case with rootbar. its arrival in the area is most timeous and it's location pretty strategic - right next the creamery! i am sure there will be an influx of kale-consuming vegan hipsters there in no time. the uproot juice is my fav - whack a bit of ginger in everything and it will all feel good, including a sore thought! in the short time it has been i have been there a lot and comforting yo know i can get my week's worth of nutrition in one glass and deserve an ice cream afterwards. i have had a taste of a couple of other drinks and they vary from yum to bland, there might need to do some recipe tweaking. it might be a bit pricey... after all most of it is just rabbit food in a blender.

the lsa porridge at rootbar in newlands is undoubtedly a winner. with the combination of bananas, dates and almonds the porridge is delectably delicious. the texture of their lsa porridge is creamy like a normal oat porridge (that not a lot of other restaurants can pull off)

i got a takeaway for lunch today. the passion fruit smoothie i had was delicious. i also got the single portion salad which i also really enjoyed. there was a kick of ginger in one of the salads which gave the meal the perfect amount of heat.
i was also impressed with how quick their service is.
i was in and out of there in less than 15 minutes.

a true lunch time gem! 💎

to be honest, i've only had their juices and smoothies - delectable!
i love being able to select a dairy-free vegan option for any of the smoothies.  the blueberry one is my favourite!

i haven’t actually sat down to eat but have been there to order a take away meal.

they have a salad and protein lunch that gets served from 12:00. you can choose 3 salads or get 4 and order the protein for that day. the time i added protein it was fish cake.

i was very happy with the salads and would recommend it to any one looking for a healthy lunch option.

the down side is that it gets quite busy around that time and they only make one bowl of each salad.

late lunch at rootbar today! it's fairly small with dark walls and a few green plants dotted around to lighten it up. we had the large side table all to ourselves! this place is busy but around 3 the lunch rush dies down. my friend opted for the chocolate smoothie bowl and said she loved it but the portion was big and she ended up taking some home. i opted for the thai chicken wrap which i can only describe in one word: yum! so delicious, packed of chicken and vegetables, lightly toasted and such a yummy tangy/spicy sauce, served on a wooden board (nice touch!) ... the wrap alone would be a 5/5 rating. however, the cinnamon smoothie i had was too grainy and thus disappointing. service was great! you order and pay at the till. very casual and relaxed atmosphere. the cashier was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and able to recommend dishes. it's clear that they care a lot about their products and providing good service. one thing i will suggest is to list the ingredients in the wraps as well.

i've never actually been to rootbar but i usually order it on ubereats when i'd like a nice healthy meal for lunch... i think that their passion fruit smoothie is absolutely delicious, i give that 5/5.. to eat i'll always have the chicken, avo & pesto wrap which is really good too, the only downfall in my opinion is that the wrap is really small so i'm often not full afterwards, but if you have it with a smoothie that's super filling.
