So Radish is in downtown Arvada. There are a number of vegan brunch options and a huge microbrew collection. I believe they also have special events and theme nights.
Excellent food and service.

I love olde town Arvada and am tickled to have a favorite restaraunt there.
Sweet arcade bar in the back, awesome menu, and incredibly friendly staff all in a walkable area with artisans and shops galore.
Big big fan.
Their mashed potatoes are a frequent craving.
Fav meals: OMG tofu and Peanut tofu for dinner; mushroom Philly for lunch.

So Radish (or So RADish, as it's stylized) was excellent! The restaurant's theming, with faux graffiti, old computer graphics, and neon everywhere was very cute. I got the BLT and it was quite good; the plant-based bacon was good in the sandwich, though I probably wouldn't eat it on its own.
So Radish is an excellent excuse to ride the light rail and enjoy Old Town(e) Arvada!

I had a tofu schnitzel sandwich special with a mashed potato and gravy side. I was most blown away by my bakery to-go items: apple spice cake and Bavarian cheese cake! Great food.

Cute hip vegan restaurant. I love the kombucha on tap. The chili cheese fries were such a treat, can’t find those often in vegan version! The staff is super friendly and good servers. Vegan brownie was so yummy too, they have different types of vegan deserts!

Located in old-town Arvada, this is a nice place with pretty good food.
The food can be hit-and-miss but I enjoyed the tacos and excellent cornbread. This place also relies a lot on premade stuff (Beyond, etc) which I don't mind but it can incentivize saving money by making food at home instead.

What a terrific place. Personally, I wish the food options were a little more healthy (and a little less fried), but my 4 non-veg dinner guests all enjoyed their meals. And the three desserts we tried were especially spectacular! Full bar and terrific beer selection, too. What's not to like?!?Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan & gluten-free options.

I ordered to go, but wish I could have dined-in! This restaurant-bar-arcade has 80's-themed graffiti murals, and makes you smile!
The stand out here for me was the staff!! They were so friendly and helpful, I want to return!
I had the Mushroom Cheesesteak, but added arugula and fresh avocado. The avocado was ripe and perfect! This sandwich was so-so, but I finished it.
Quinoa salad: Get this! Obviously you have to like quinoa, but this was my favorite! Was fresh and delicious! The vinaigrette was good.
"Crab" cakes: these were well-made but I didn't love them. It may have been the tarter sauce which I didnt care for, or maybe I just wasn't in the mood for them which happens. Prob wouldn't get them again, but overall they were cooked perfect!
Mac N Cheeze: Gluten-free option! The Mac was great, would def order again.

I walked by the restaurant a couple of times and it looks cute inside but my schedule only permitted me to get food delivered which is less appealing than eating in. I tried the black bean burger and the pesto gnocchi. Both were good.

10 stars, this place is so RAD!!!! Being highly allergic to dairy going out to eat is a struggle. At So Radish, everything is dairy free. Absolutely amazing service from Shonda. The food was delicious, with huge portions and very filling. Highly recommended, and we will be coming back for more!!!!!Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegan.Kid-friendliness: Amazing arcade in the back of the restaurant
So Radish is a must if you're in the area. They have such amazing comfort food (Fried pickles… nuff said). The entire menu is vegan and gluten free options are clearly marked. There are some items I'm not personally a fan of (the gravy and the cornbread) but majority of the food is deeeeelish!! Also, the bathroom pumps and the overall restaurant has 10/10 ambiance.

Hands down my favorite vegan eatery in Colorado! Tried the buffalo chickn sandwich and the mushroom Philly cheezesteak sandwich and loved every bite! With such a unique taste and nice sized portions you can’t go wrong with this spot! Great canned beer selection and atmosphere . Everyone that worked there seemed genuinely happy to be on the clock. Will def return ! Thank youVegetarian options: All vegan!Kid-friendliness: All kids welcome

Update:7/20/2023 | We ordered to go and asked for no tomatoes and cucumbers on a sandwich. Sandwich came with them? Pretty disappointed. Review updated to 1 star. How do you mess up on an order that simple? Included a photo.Original Review:2/23/2023 | Went to so radish on a Thursday night, and it was roughly 50% full.Our waiter was fantastic, he worked with us and even went into the kitchen to double check on one of our questions, rather than just guessing the answer. He was very attentive the entire time we were there!The food was decent, we got the meatball sub and the mushroom cheese steak. The marinara on the meatball sub was surprisingly dry, and the meatballs were too large for the bun. When the food arrived, the bun was soggy, presumably from sitting too long, so that was disappointing. Didn't really want to bite into a wet bun.The cheese steak was decent, but had a surprising amount of spice for what it described on the menu. The southern green side was great.We also got a brownie, which was fantastic.Vegetarian options: It's a vegan restaurant

My family was in Denver to visit and to tour CU-Boulder. My daughter has recently discovered that she’s vegetarian, so we needed a place we could all eat. So Radish was that restaurant. From the moment you enter, the 80s are on display with murals on the walls, and Bob Ross on the TV. (Pro-Tip: impress people if your child born in the 2000s can name all the 80s stars on the walls.) The menu has items such as fried pickles or fried avocado (though the latter was out while we were there, much to our chagrin). I ended up ordering the “meatball” sandwich, while my daughter had the Chik’n sandwich, and my partner had the “BLT.” All of it was vegan (down to the cheese) and all of it was delicious. The wait staff here is awesome as well. They discussed the menu with us, talked with us, and when my partner didn’t like her drink, they brought her another one to replace it and didn’t charge us for it. After the meal, we headed back into the arcade play pinball and bubble hockey (Pro-Tip: if you don’t have quarters, you can charge a roll to your bill). I highly recommend that if you are in or near Arvada, go to So Radish. Enjoy the step back in time and the fantastic food. It’s totally tubular!
