Such a heartwarming energy in here! The food was great and it is a really lovely place to just go and chat with someone. Their menu is extensive in food, drink, and baked goods, so you can never go wrong no matter the time you come. The sweet potatoes were fire, I would definitely recommend. Also... great vegan place too!

The Root is such a cute little spot! Perfect for a brunch date or getting work done. The food and drinks are top tier. This place means a lot to me and my husband, so we actually stopped here for brunch before our elopement with our photographer and were able to capture some great moments. The staff and customers were great about it. 10/10!

You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you. My daughter is in a wheelchair. We got a parking space right in front of the restaurant, entered through the front door, and were able to immediately position her at a table. Bowels wraps, sandwiches, and much more on the menu. Everything is super healthy and carefully prepared. Beverages include smoothies and a variety of teas. It is a small, comforting space with kind and attentive workers. I'm from out of town. My daughter, her father and I go there when I visit.

Root Cafe is awesome! I always get the tofu scramble wrap and it’s always delicious. Also the only time I received the wrong meal, their customer service was great and they went above and beyond to resolve the issue. I highly recommend, whether you order for delivery or go enjoy at the restaurant

For me, the place has become a kind of sanctuary I get to rest at some days, between jobs. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with a vibe that makes you want to stay. I stopped in one day to get a coffee, and to meet with my brother, and ever since that day, I keep finding myself wanting to go back. I do my best thinking there, my best reading, my best work.. One time, when I didn’t have cash for the parking meter, the owner, without hesitation, gave me money from the register to pay for it. Just phenomenal people, phenomenal coffee, and phenomenal vibes.. funny how something like a coffee shop can be so much more than a coffee shop.

Stopped in to read a bit and was pleasantly surprised with the best vegan apple carrot muffin I ever tasted! The nut milk latte was also delicious. After I saw the menu I wished I had time to stay for a meal.
