Positioned a mile from San Antonio’s central business district, Roots offers a range of açaí bowls, build-your-own wraps and loaded salads, including a Tex-Mex variety and one topped with Jamaican jerk chicken.

The spot also offers fresh brewed teas in summer-worthy flavors such as strawberry rose, raspberry, mango and lavender-lemon, not to mention its own brand of bottled alkaline water.
