Bloodroot,

85 Ferris Street, Bridgeport, CT 06605

"At once you’ll realize you are in a unique place; one that many of us hunger for in every meaning of the word. When most restaurants disappear after 3 years this has endured 45+, and a part is by providing everyone who is receptive to it more than basic provisions."

"Whenever my sister comes to visit from FL, it has become a tradition to come to Bloodroot. We are never disappointed. The food and atmosphere are always exactly what we need, warm and welcoming"

"46 years in business...these women are doing a lot of things right! Among them: Welcoming, friendly atmosphere Healthy, delicious food Corner bookstore offering a selection of feminist writings Beautiful waterside location I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Keep up the good work!"

"Great spot for browsing feminist books, eating vegan meals that taste home cooked, talking to interesting people, chilling in a quirky vintage atmosphere, and learning about the colorful history of this establishment. If it's nice out you can sit outside, with a nice view of the water. Order at the desk as you walk in, brows the books and weaving supplies until you are called, get your food from the window, choose somewhere to eat, and when you are done you leave the dirty dishes in the bus tubs. It's a lively, unique experience"

"A really nice vegan place to eat in that whole area. The food is freshly cooked in front of you and is delicious. It’s more like a home made food than restaurant food. The owner were really friendly."
