Roasted

This was my first time at Roasted and it had a great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food. Pictured are the vegan breakfast tacos and the Trifecta. The menu was full of unique options to choose from and they had a large selection of sides and add-ons.

I’m always excited to try new places for brunch, especially when traveling…so when I found myself once again in the Lehigh Valley, hungry for fine breakfast food and wanting to avoid the many, many (many) diners that dot the land, I came across Roasted. I’d been on the property before as I had dined at it’s former Blue Sky Cafe incarnation and, though I enjoyed my experience at Blue Sky, I was pleased to see a much more modern (and super crowded) experience both in terms of the design of the space and the menu. Word on the street is they have the same chef is Blue Sky and you can even see the former restaurant’s signature “Sweet Potato Quesadilla” on the menu as a salute to the past.

We were rolling in with a party of nine and even though we called ahead they stuck with the policy of not taking reservations, but they were able to seat us in about 25 minutes, which wasn’t too bad considering it was a Saturday smack dab in the middle of brunch.

They don’t offer a kids menu (and we had 3 kids with us) but the prices are pretty reasonable considering the quality they put out…and we had both vegetarians and gluten free eaters with us and thought it was especially helpful that their menu was clearly labeled with which items were vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. They also offer soy sausage, tofu, and vegan cheddar so you can simulate the real thing no matter what you order.

The coffee wasn’t bad. I’ve had much bolder, but it was a couple steps above the browned water you often get at breakfast places.

I had a Create Your Own omelet with egg whites, soy sausage, gouda and kale. I actually wanted the roasted leeks which came with the special omelet instead of kale but the kitchen wasn’t willing to make that substitution. The server asked if I had a backup to the leeks in case the chef wasn’t willing to use them…I was disappointed about this, especially that they just brought the omelet with the kale in it without any kind of report back or regret that they couldn’t do it. It still tasted good with the kale. But the communication wasn’t great and in the end I didn’t feel taken care of.

Our ten year old ordered the Oreo French Toast which was an out of control looking construction that he pretty much wanted to marry.

My gluten free, mostly vegan wife especially enjoyed the hearty vegan soup she got.

Everyone else was happy with what they got and the food came fairly quickly considering how busy the place was. We’d come back as there’s so much to try for vegetarians.

First time breakfast goer and I will say I was very pleased with breakfast! I ordered the bourbon french toast with bananas and chocolate chips, and boy was it delicious! The menu had more than enough to appeal to anyone! I had such a hard time deciding!! I would most definitely reccomend trying this place. I'd say its way better than some other places that I have tried from people favoriting them in the Lehigh Valley. I like to try new places until I figure out my favorites. Although this place has definitely made my favorites list and will remain at the top because of the service, the atmosphere, and the menu was just incredible. I can't wait to go back! Definitely a must if your in the area or looking to spend some money on a great filling meal.

I came here with my boyfriend and the atmosphere was immediately welcoming! Our server was super sweet and the food is delicious. Definitely coming here again

Came for brunch with a party of four.

Cute little place with some interesting choices on the menu. I have an allergy to dairy so I was happy to see some vegan options available. They catered to my allergy well and had no problem modifying a dish for a member in our party. Prices are not bad but not great, probably just right.

I was surprised because usually vegan menu items are mediocre at best, but the tofu breakfast sandwich was really great, nicely seasoned and it had a ton of flavor in the tofu. I also ordered scrapple and it was nice and crispy. The coffee that we all got was also pretty great for just a hose blend, and our server was very knowledgeable about the different selections available.

Only downsides is that we found that it can get very loud very quickly in such a small space that has large vaulted ceilings so prepare to have to talk loudly to the person sitting right across from you if its busy, and the building is obviously old so its not the prettiest place atmosphere wise.

Otherwise, would definitely come back.

Delicious food and great service.
We ordered the omelette Wendy and Bentley scrambled eggs.

Love and appreciate all the vegan options, especially the pumpkin pancakes. Our server was so nice and accommodating. We will be back!

Awesome breakfast, coffee and their home made chorizo is excellent.

I went yesterday with two of my friends for breakfast, and I absolutely will be coming back. Despite it being busy, we were seated quickly, our server was attentive and friendly, and the food was amazing and plentiful. I had breakfast tacos and potatoes, so delicious! The pineapple juice was fantastic too!

I have been hearing so many things about this place that I had to try it out myself. I have to say I was not impressed, they are extremely busy so that may have something to do with it but I won't go again. We tried 2 different breakfast sandwiches and a scramble. The breakfast sandwiches were bland which is surprising with all the ingredients on them I would have thought it would burst with flavor. The potatoes though have way too much seasoning, it's hard to eat them. The scramble I thought when they said everything was mixed together it would be scrambled together but it was just scrambled eggs with small pieces of cut cheese sprinkled on top and bacon bits on top. Was it a nice breakfast place? Yes, it's tiny and loud but it is a fun place to go grab a meal with friends.
