Cafe Root Cellar

You MUST go here. We ordered the gluten free crab cakes and steak and they were truly unforgettable. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The crab cakes alone deserve a moment. Perfectly cooked and served on a vibrant bed of vegetables that made the whole dish feel thoughtful and elevated. Just wow. My kids, not gluten free, ordered the chicken tenders and burgers and devoured them. Even the fries, thick sliced and perfectly crisp, were a hit. Every single person at the table ate well, which is no small feat. The outdoor fire area is gorgeous and makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting. Beyond the food and atmosphere, what really sealed it for me is that they donate proceeds to community fridges. Incredible food and meaningful values. We will absolutely be back. I love t

Cafe Root Cellar deserves a WAY HIGHER rating!! You’ll find farm-to-fork seasonal dishes, each thoughtfully prepared, combined with friendly counter service, all in a welcoming, unpretentious environment. Chef Cuni is a wonderful member of Chatham’s community and does so much to support our local food systems. Some of the best food in Pittsboro and the Triangle, PERIOD!!

Root Cellar Cafe has been a favorite of mine for years, and for good reason. I’ve dined in the restaurant, relied on them to cater meals for our high school women’s tennis team season after season, and for the past several months I’ve been purchasing their prepared family dinners every other week. The food is always fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared by chef Sera. What I love most is the variety of the family dinners. I find myself trying dishes I wouldn’t normally order, and I’m always pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy them. Everything is flavorful, well-balanced, and consistently excellent. To my fellow moms and wives: if you need a break from meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking, take a week off and try their family dinners. You will not be disappointed. Root C

I dined here for brunch yesterday with my boyfriend. I ordered the Sunday Sunrise. It normally comes with turkey sausage. Chef Sera was able to change that to vegan sausage for an up charge of $5.00. I wasn’t sure about doing this when ordering, but I am glad I did. When the server brought out my dish, I noticed the vegan sausage on the side. The server mentioned to me that the chef also put the vegan sausage in the biscuit itself. I thought the up charge was fair since she put the vegan sausage in the biscuit itself as well as one in the side. The food was amazing!! It was a gastronomic culinary delight!! The chef uses the freshest ingredients from local farms. All the flavors came together beautifully. Oh! It either comes with cheddar grits or the cheesy potato casserole…I opted for th

We just had a memorial buffet breakfast for my spouse at the Root Cellar in Pittsboro. About 45 people came to enjoy photos, videos, and a craft display... and some really delicious breakfast food. Susan, Sera and their staff were first rate from the moment I contacted them... communicative, punctual, informative, understanding, helpful with planning and implementing the set-up and menu, and I heard nothing but rave reviews from lots of folks about the food and the service. Everything was great, but the baked cinnamon French toast was extraordinary. The venue in Pittsboro had just the space and casual warmth we were looking for. Kudos to a thoroughly professional organization and team with just the right personal touch who helped us pull off a great breakfast full of memories and tasty fo
