I have ordered from here quite a few times. It’s definitely hit or miss. The atmosphere is trendy and the guy at the counter was friendly. Recently we stopped in because the subway that’s next door closed early. I was in the mood for a wrap and it was actually pretty delicious. I usually get their bowls and I would definitely recommend steering clear of Uber eats if you plan on getting a bowl. The ingredients are never correct and they deliver almost completely melted.

The açaí bowls are one of my favorites from here and so far the smoothies have been mostly good.This is an older image when I went a long time ago.I came again this week but forgot to take a picture. The whole location looks really different (much more clean simplistic look) now and is almost unrecognizable. The price has rises quite a bit which also is the reason I’m rating it a 4. When you’re used to something that felt reasonable and it rises you start feeling kinda disappointing especially compared to how drastically different the change in cost was.Also another reason they received the 4 is because I called in to make an order but because they kept ending the call and no one ever picked up I ended up just having to show up there.Açaí bows :literally taste bomb and I always get a lot of drizzleSmoothie: one of the better smoothie places to get is from hereI might be biased but it’s super bomb. I don’t know what is exactly in the smoothie but the ingredients really blend well with each other and the smoothie doesn’t come out too sweet. A lot of smoothie places tend to suffocate and engulf the drink in sugar but the smoothies here are just right.Small simple menu that have a different assortment of healthy choices to eat and drink from.

Finally went here during lunch to try it out. My husbands order turned out to be a completely different order. The guy at the front basically said he gave him that salad because they didnt have the ingredients to make the salad he ordered. If you know that you dont have the item, then say yall ran out the moment you realize you dont have the ingredients. All he gave us were excuses. What a disappointment. Really wanted to give this place a shot.

Im a little sad that they increased prices quite a bit recently. Previously, I loved getting their acai bowls for $6-7 so but my recent purchase was $9+.Acai bowl (4/5): got the almond me better bowl. The bowls and toppings are never too sweet and quality of fruit is excellent. Taking off a point because I received only a light drizzle of almond butter.Cleanliness (3/5): I noticed most tables were unwiped and had leftover food when I visited around 8 am in the morning.Productivity (3/5): Plenty of tables and charging ports. Wifi speed on the lower end ~20 mbps download.This is a cute little shop with a good selection of healthy options.

The place looks amazing and I felt a nice vibe. First time here and I ordered smoothies and I got what taste and looks like a cup of foam and the other smoothie aswell lacking flavor. Looks nice and thats about it.

It was my first time to try an Açaí Bowl, and wow, they knocked it our of the park! He made the entire thing in front of me in a couple of minutes. Even though my order was to go he spent the time to ensure the presentation was flawless. The flavor was phenomenal and the fruit was so fresh. I definitely plan to come back to try some other things on their menu.

I had been looking forward to trying this place out. Even drove a bit of a distance for it. Awfully disappointing. We ordered a Date Night smoothie and one (not featured on online menu) that had almond butter, cinnamon, banana. Our smoothies were way liquidy, even bubbly at first. They were super sweet, which I cant stand in smoothie drinks. Praying it was just the banana but it tastes not. Almond butter had to have been missing bc I couldnt taste it whatsoever in mine. No texture. And I requested oat milk which tasted like skim. Fearing there were mistakes all around. Or just lame products. And no lids for 16oz cold drinks. SO EXPENSIVE! NOT WORTH IT. MAKE YOUR SMOOTHIES AT HOME. Will never go back.

Good juice shop with smoothies and bowls. They have a rewards program but its only for the smoothie bowls. The juice is pressed in the morning and served throughout the day. Weve been a couple times, good options and the kids like it too.

Review №12

The presentation of all the drinks was very good. There was a nice atmosphere, and the menu had a lot of variety. It was also cheaper than a lot of other juice places. That being said, I didnt particularly like any of the drinks, though my friends did enjoy a few on their two different shot samplers.

Incredible food all around!On my visit I ordered a Custom Acai Smoothie Bowl, Greek Wrap, and a Strawberry Freeze, and each item was made to perfection while still retaining the healthy aspect that I came to Republic Roots for. I can pretty much guarantee that any item on their menu is worth the purchase, being both healthy and delicious!Two thumbs all the way up!

Nasty place don’t recommend.I got 2 small acai bowls and it was $20 WOW. It was liquidy and nasty.I saw them pull out a whole big container of smoothie and put some in my bowl it was not even fresh what a shame. Right after we left and tasted that nasty smoothie we went to Tropical smoothie cafe and it was so good.Never going to republic roots again.

Your Google Ordering system is wrong. It has it required when ordering an Açaí Bowl to select regular and small size and says I’m being charged $15 for a bowl. Please get that fixed as using an online ordering tool is key during these times. Thank you! I’m hoping I wasn’t charged for two bowls.

Hands down, RR is amazing!! The vibe, the juice...on point! I ordered the Rooted Glow: so smooth. And, picked up Rooted Bliss to take home...had a vegan Double Chocolate Chip cookie. Didn’t know it was vegan until I actually read the label 🤣 I must admit, it was a pretty hard cookie but it was good.

Place is OK nothing special about their items. I ordered an almond milk drink and asked if there were any added sugars, I was told no. I tasted and could taste the sugar, so I asked again then I was told there is brown sugar but only minimal. Honesty and clarity is important to me, especially in food that I am consuming!

I have been enjoying this restaurant for about a year. My go to lunch is a Feel Good Bowl and a Republic Milk. The ingredients are always fresh and delicious. Im also very happy with the price point of the salads. If service was a bit faster/friendlier, Id have given it 5 stars.Update: service has been super fast and friendly the past few times so I changed the rating to 5 stars. I am trying the Health Nut Bowl. It is absolutely delicious. What a great spot!

Review №40

In response to one of the earlier posts. I am not a friend or family member of anyone who owns this business. I also can not believe anyone would give it less than 5 stars. Yes, it costs more than McDonalds for coffee and juice, so if cost is your only concern this might not be your kinda place. However, compared to Starbucks or any other gourmet coffee spot they are right in line. I was a complete skeptic. I HATE vegetables and basically run at the words health food. However, this place is great, the owner spent 10 minutes helping me understand the benefits of each choice and to my surprise I loved several of the combinations. The juice flight is a great way to sample a variety and find one you enjoy. The coffee is amazing and lacks the bitterness of some other coffees. I stop there a couple times a week now. The woman who owns this store is incredibly welcoming and I have never had a bad experience.

Republic Roots is a staple for me and my family! We love their smoothie bowls and the service is fast. I personally love the Raw Temptation smoothie bowl. The atmosphere is nice and I like to do work here sometimes. The staff is always cheerful, and Lauren (one of the cashiers) always remembers our orders. Only critique is that somedays, they run out of ingredients for the smoothie bowls, but other than that, its a great place!

Great juice. Takes a bit of time to wait for your order. But its worth it. Lots of space to hang out inside. My son would call it hipster. I would call it perfect. All its missing is more people in it. We tried a juice, a smoothie, a root freeze and an available bowl.

Very cool environment with superb drink and food choices. The staff is quite friendly and helpful, trying to engage and get the customer both a new experience and a great one at that.Unfortunately the location makes this hard for many others to be able to fully enjoy this establishment as its pretty far from a lot of the main restaurant areas as well as the mall. Great for residents within that area though.

The ingredients are fresh and flavorful but the portions are small for the price. The menu looks very healthy and the combination of ingredients caught my attention. The service was terrible. There were two different workers and neither one greeted me, said hi, or even cracked a fake smile. They made no attempt to be hospitable. Im very disappointed in the bad attitude of the workers.

Stumbled upon this place. Cool vibe, barista seemed like a nice girl. I ordered coffee, and a couple of things that got me were that 1. she didn’t run water through the paper filter beforehand and 2. she didn’t let the water from the boil nozzle cool down for a little bit before starting the brew.These two decisions made a difference because my coffee tasted burnt and cardboard-like. Over time, I could taste a hint of the notes I was expecting, but all in all this affected the brew.Still significantly better than Starbucks, but I would just make sure the baristas are aware of this so as to avoid holding back what could be the best coffee in Sugar Land. :)

The juice and smoothies are great. Ambience is great. The reason why I gave this place two stars is because of the customer service is horrible. Not sure the reason why my customer experience was so bad but remember this is a new business and for it to last customer service must be 5 stars. I agree with Sara I think a lot of friends and family are giving this place 5 stars.

This is a great place, I had never had a cold pressed juice before and it was great! They have unique products that are made onsite and Im sure to go back. I see a review that didnt like the prices, but look what you are getting for your money (the juice I got had like 3 apples and 3 1/2 pounds of spinach, etc.)... so you get what you pay for.

Review №68

This place has gone downhill. When I came here in 2018 and the first few months of 2019, I loved it. The açaí bowls were filled to the brim and all the ingredients were positioned nicely. However, when I last went on June 6th in the morning at around 10:00am on Thursday, I was really disappointed. Me and two friends all got the totally nut bowl and all three of our bowls were made really unprofessionally. First of all, the three girls working there that morning took more than 15 minutes to serve just 2 bowls. The bowls that my friend and I had consisted of bananas that were too ripe, a base that was close to frozen (usually it’s like the consistency of a smoothie with a good amount of ice), and a messy dollop of peanut butter and chocolate( when it’s usually drizzled) that made the bowl look very unappealing (like diarrhea). As for my other friend’s bowl, she had the same problems but also dealt with a layer of granola that was literally an inch thick. I’m really dissatisfied with republic roots and I’m not sure if the overall quality has decreased or if it was just those three girls working that day. I recommend everyone to spend their money elsewhere.

Review №74

Scheduled my whole morning today around going here before work because Ive never been and my sister was raving about this place. Its a few minutes from home. But apparently they open at 10am and not 8am like it says up here. That was disappointing! Ill give a fair review on the food whenever I get a chance to eat there another timeUpdate!Okay now that I understand their hours, I’m really a fan of this spot! I’ve been going once or twice a week lately for their juices. Fresh cold pressed juice blends for nearly half the price as another local spot in the area. The acai bowls are very delicious and I feel like mostly everything there is fairly priced, unlike other places that may sell “healthy” food items but tax you way too much. I’m not supposed to eat sugar due to my drastic health issues but whenever I slip up I head here and grab a “berry me bowl”, SO Good!I’m a bit of a foodie and considered picky by some so this place has definitely earned my $$!Ps... coffee is very delicious as well

Can I just say everyone in the entire world needs to try this restaurant at least once!? After that you will be HOOKED! Amazing, delicious, raw food options. They have wraps, bowls, smoothies and variations of these amazing dessert bowls with a chocolatey almond butter sauce that tastes like nutella except doesnt make you feel queasy! Everything is loaded with superfoods, easy to adjust an order to remove like feta or nuts if you have allergies and its really affordable. Try the Raw temptation dessert bowl!! You wont believe how delicious it is! Only about $6.50 :)

Im curious how many of these review are from friends... This is not a place to get a regular cup of coffee or an espresso drink. Its very specialized and expensive.

Congrats to the owner for opening her shop in a smart location! She is very bubbly and makes great conversation. Very welcoming and genuinely happy to see you when you come in. Any of the acai bowls are incredibly fresh (try the Totally Nuts bowl -- has nutella and peanut butter!!) just like all their other products. Their cold-pressed juices have a minimal amount of froth -- not something you see every day. Their hot chai tea is also solid with the right amount of depth and same with the coffees. Its a wonderful place to study or hang out. Plenty of outlets and your choice of seating (booths, high/normal tables).Essentially a coffee shop/juice bar without the noise, but just as much charm as your favorite place downtown.
