Roots 'n' Beans is a small cafe with indoor and outdoor seating near Kandy's sacred tooth temple, popular for breakfast and lunch. The menu features western-style vegan wraps, burgers, smoothie bowls, and coffee, with some local twists like jackfruit burgers and mushroom pasta. Prices are on the higher side by local standards, and while many find the food fresh and portions generous, some customers report inconsistencies and occasional use of eggs or dairy milk in drinks and desserts.
