Blossom and Root Kitchen

"In the heart of San Ramon lies Blossom and Root Kitchen, an epicurean haven that transcends the mere act of dining to embody the Stoic principles of mindful indulgence and culinary excellence. Stepping into this gastronomic sanctuary, one is immediately enveloped in an ambiance of understated elegance, where every detail, from the warm lighting to the inviting decor, speaks to a reverence for simplicity and authenticity. Our dining experience began with the Roasted Cauliflower—a masterful rendition of a humble vegetable elevated to extraordinary heights through careful preparation and exquisite seasoning. Each bite offered a symphony of flavors, a testament to the chef's artistry and commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients. Next, we embarked on a journey of culinary discovery with the Tofu Katsu Sandwich—a harmonious union of textures and tastes that delighted the senses and nourished the soul. The crispy exterior of the tofu gave way to a tender interior, while the accompaniments provided a delightful contrast of flavors, resulting in a dish that was both comforting and invigorating. To complement our meal, we savored a cup of Mushroom Chowder—a velvety concoction that warmed us from within and left a lingering impression of earthy richness. Each spoonful was a revelation, a reminder of the transformative power of simple ingredients when treated with care and respect. As we concluded our dining experience at Blossom and Root Kitchen, we couldn't help but reflect on the Stoic virtues embodied by this establishment—moderation, discernment, and appreciation for the present moment. In a world filled with noise and distraction, this oasis of culinary excellence offers a respite for the weary soul, inviting us to savor each moment and find solace in the simple pleasures of good food and good company."

"Cute, clean bright space. Our waiter was especially kind and helpful. We loved the appetizer crab cakes and the vegetable pesto sandwich with vegan cheese was delicious. The B&R burger was equally flavorful though I personally favor a burger with a more "meaty" texture. The drinks were imaginative and fun. See photos of the Blue Mermaid drink."

"You don't have to be vegan to enjoy this restaurant. Hi! I'm John. I am not vegan, but my lactose intolerance does not allow me to eat cheese. So when I saw the Mac and cheese, I was like, yes please. Id ordered the fritter too. Then I split a Caesar salad too. Soups were ordered at the table too. We left full, happy. When you have restrictions to your diet, id say this place is a good place to go."

"Absolutely Fantastic! My first impression, perfect! I love the atmosphere and decor. Very special vibe! The food was as beautiful as it was delicious! We started with drinks, Persimmon Beet Bellini & Pomegranate Cloud. The appetizers were the Bread Plate and the Fritters. The main was the Masa Cake. Looking forward to bringing family and friends."

"Everything is absolutely delicious and the menu options are so new and excitingly interesting. The atmosphere is warm and has a lively buzz, with charming outdoor eating. The cocktails are invigoratingly elegant and festive! As an omnivore, I loved everything I tasted, found myself more than satiated, and will definitely be back -- ideally at least once a week! Gourmet and intricate flavors....worth traveling from all around the Bay to come try it! The mac n cheese will be a crowd winner for even the most selective eater, but I especially loved the fritters (no cholesterol) with aioli and the light lemon dessert!"
