Stopped in to Root 31 because I was in the area and I was craving a fruit smoothie. I pulled up the menu to make sure they had non dairy options and to my surprise they did ! I like that they have several non-dairy smoothie selections for vegans like myself, more than one too. You also get a pretty good sized for the price too compared to other local places. I got the berry fresh one, which has raspberries, strawberries , blueberries and blackberries I believe. And it's blended with mango and raspberry sorbet ! Staff was super friendly and made my smoothie very quickly. Im so happy ! I'll be back for sure to try some other vegan options on the menu.

Over priced tasteless Vermont Turkey wrap. The chutney tasted awful.
I was expecting a much better tasting wrap. -

Cute place to come for lunch and good size portions. I had the green and white salad. It was perfect! I ordered no feta so it was vegan and it was so delicious. The dressing was light and lemony - just the right amount on the salad. There were plenty of white beans and asparagus and was very tasty. I felt like it should have been a little cheaper during lunchtime but I guess it's kind of similar to a Panera with the same prices all day. I'll definitely come here again when I'm in the area.

A good, low-key restaurant option in Pittsford Plaza, but I probably would not come here for any other reason.
The physical space is nice, clean and modern. It's also a very casual environment. So it's a good place to catch a bite to eat before or after a movie.
I ordered a chicken gyro sandwich, which was okay, but not the best. My girlfriend had a cream of corn soup that she enjoyed, but I thought was a bit on the watery side.
The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't memorable. They have a large menu consisting of soups, salads, sandwiches, pizzas and burgers. Root 31 reminds me of the idiom "Jack of all trades, master of none." -

I like stopping in to Root31 when I'm shopping in or around Pittsford Plaza. They have a big menu, and the ingredients are always fresh. There's a great selection of drinks too, many from local places like Fiz and Rorhbach's.
While I like a lot about this place, there are some off-putting things going on here. For example, during my most recent visit I asked if my wrap and my husband's sandwich came with chips and a pickle, and the cashier said he "thought" they did. If he didn't know, couldn't he find out? (FYI - I got chips and a pickle, my husband got chips but no pickle.) It's also a little pricey for what it is. I spent $28.94 for a wrap, a sandwich, and 2 fountain drinks. The Thai tofu wrap is delicious, if a bit overpriced for $9.90. I love the spicy peanut sauce, carrots and fresh spinach.
There are no napkins at the drink machine, but they are brought to you along with your meal. And the strangest part - there are bins for compost, recyclables, and dishes/silverware, but no trash. I love eco-friendly companies, but not everything is compostable or recyclable, like chip bags and receipt paper. Their setup is a wasted effort because I saw compostables in the recycle bin, recyclables in the compost, and garbage in both. Not serving single bags of chips would be a great move in the environmental direction.
In short: good food, weird execution.
