Roots Smoothie & Juice Bar - Halesite, New York

Ross P.

Roots is tucked inside Jeff’s Gourmet Market, along with The Crushed Olive — I actually didn’t even know it was there until I searched for a nearby smoothie spot and saw Roots pop up.

I tried the “Gin and Juice” smoothie with ginger, mango, banana, and orange juice — it was delicious. Super refreshing with a nice balance of flavors.

Also, the woman who took my order and made the smoothie was incredibly kind and pleasant, which made the experience even better.

I’ll definitely be back to try more from Roots — and now I’m also curious to explore what Jeff’s and The Crushed Olive have to offer!

I came here yesterday to get a coconut acai bowl & it was my first time here. I paid for it then received the small bowl, one the size for the price was disappointing & the amount of coconut ice cream given looked pretty sad. They charge a credit card fee at Roots & for Jeff’s (3.5%)

Roots is an absolute gem for anyone craving fresh, flavorful smoothies. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by genuinely friendly staff who made me feel right at home. Their smoothies are top-notch, crafted from high-quality, fresh fruits, and you can taste the difference in every sip. The menu is packed with healthy options to suit all tastes and dietary needs—whether you’re after something packed with greens, a protein boost, or just a delicious, fruity treat.

Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of ingredients and portion sizes. I was pleasantly surprised by how affordable it is to eat healthy here! Roots has quickly become my go-to spot for a refreshing, nutritious boost, and I’ll definitely be a frequent customer. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on taste, health, and friendliness, Roots is it! Highly recommend!

Roots is one of the best spots to go for a smoothie or acai bowl. The Health Nut smoothie is my absolute favorite (I love mixed berries and peanut butter).
I decided to try a coconut smoothie bowl last week and was impressed. The consistency was perfect and topped with actual fresh fruit. And I like the fact that they regularly upgrade their menu with new options. 10/10 for their expertise at making healthy smoothies taste amazing!

I order the health nut for breakfast or dinner and all I can say by far the best smoothie I ever had .....everything fresh everything blended perfectly 👌 👍 10 stars if you believe on health is wealth money well spent and oh yeah I always ask for Anna to hook your smoothie up she is one of the professional that hooked mine up ask for Anna.

The location of Roots is nice as it is fairly busy area during the week. Their business hours are from 8a - 5p daily.

The store has a nice open layout that is visible from the front window. When you walk in, there is a setting by the window with two comfy chairs, coffee table and potted plants to that makes you feel like you are "at home." Since it is right by the window, you get natural sun light and that might be the best spot at the store to be in during a nice afternoon or early morning visit. The layout of the dining area consist of three tables on the left side wall that are spaced apart and can seat at least three people each. Adjacent to the tables is the refrigerator that houses all their freshly made juices, and ready to purchase bottles of coconut water, bottled water and other beverages that might be available on any particular day.

As you walk further in, you come across the employee counter which kind of reminded me of a bar (well they are a juice bar!). That is where they ring up customers and make beverages / juices fresh per order. In the back is their kitchen and prep area.

I had taken a look at the menu online before I visited so I could be better prepared but the plethora of options they offer were quite impressive and made it difficult to choose. The menu choices include (subject to change) coffee, toasts, sandwiches, salads, eggs, smoothies, smoothie bowls, juices and juice shots as well as cleanses for weight management. They even offer meal plans! In cases like this where I visit a new place, I would ask the recommendations of the employees.

On the day that I visited, it was not too busy initially. There were two employees near the front who had greeted me. Their names were Ryan and Seth. I later found out that they actually were the ones that managed and ran the place. But they both equally worked diligently from what I saw. Ryan took care of FOH issues it seemed (ringing up, online orders, making juices to name a few) while Seth seemed to manage the kitchen and BOH. Although, I am sure they are capable of managing each aspect of the business equally well.

Both Ryan and Seth are very personable and I can tell are the type of people you can trust to recommend something or tell you if something is not going to be a good choice. They seem to have regular customers that came through during my visit.

When it came time to order I was still undecided but I knew I wanted something akin to breakfast. Ryan suggested something off menu and it sounded good. It was similar to their breakfast burrito but in a quesadilla style pita that that included egg, turkey bacon, avocado complemented with a side of sofrito hollendaise sauce for dipping. That was an awesome breakfast I had for lunch that time.

I wanted to try a smoothie and their Mint Chocolate Chip caught my attention. It consists of banana, mint, almond and cocoa.

When I first saw they had açaí bowls, I knew I had to order one. I decided on the Pineapple Bowl (banana, strawberry, blueberry, granola, local honey and bee pollen). The ingredients sounded insanely good and this was a very good bowl choice for me.

Some other extra things that were recommended this time by Seth (I of course had to take some stuff to go because there is only so much even I can eat in one sitting) was their Grilled Cheese sandwich and the Tuna Poké toast. The grilled cheese was mozzarella, with caramelizd onions, tomato, roots seasoning, roots oil and pesto. They managed to make a simple thing look and taste amazing. IF anything, this is some nice comfort food when you are undecided. Now the tuna toast was something on another level. By now, everyone knows about avocado toast but the fresh was something I had not seen on toast before.

All the menu items actually already arrive in a box or container so packing to go is easy. For their homemade juices, I selected the Vision and Mr Red. Both contain ginger yet each has a unique flavor profile and of course health benefits.

Roots is a nice addition to the neighborhood.

I had a WONDERFUL experience at Roots!! I am a frequenter (the best place to get a fresh smoothie after practice) and have never had a bad experience!!! Mia is a very kind and caring worker who always treats me well, and the smoothies are delicious! The Kinda Pina Colada is my go-to and I love it! Roots is definitely my favorite smoothie stop in Huntington!

I ordered a smoothie a few days ago, staff is unfriendly, the smoothies are watery and the ingredients used in it is not fresh. It tasted gross. Not to mention, it’s extremely overpriced. I do not recommend. There are better smoothie places in the vacinity
