Root-A-Bakers Bakery & Cafe

This bakery and cafe is amazing. Had a perfect lunch today with friends after we had stopped at Cave Run Antiques. Brought home a butterscotch pie to die for and a dozen iced sugar cookies. I wish I didn’t live for far away from this wonderful place!

I honestly can say when I pass through KY and I’m able to get to this place I am definitely grabbing me a meal and a few desserts! It was my 1st time there and a young lady heard me say that and next thing I know, there was a sugar cookie and a smile standing next to me. She was so nice and said this is for you since it’s your 1st time, welcome! I was given a tour and a description of each treat I saw. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on cranberry wheat bread. Delish!!! I had the pasta salad and a peach sweet tea. I loved it all. The only thing I wasn’t expecting the peaches inside. I think it’s great to have in there but when I ate them after the tea was gone m, it didn’t taste much like peaches and the texture was stiff on most on them. The deserts were BOMB though! I grabbed a few m

Roor-A-Backery has a beautiful outdoor seating area with charming metal chairs and flowers, perfect for enjoying the sun. The indoor seating is cozy too, and their food was delicious! It would be great if they offered more vegan options as well. People are very friendly :)

This was the first time I ate at this bakery and cafe. it was excellent! I ordered the Hokie Artichokie, which is a grilled deli turkey sandwich with provolone, tomato, and a creamy spinach and artichoke spread. It comes with chips, which can be substituted with a cup of soup or a signature salad. I chose sweet mango peach tea to drink which was so good! I purchased a strawberry iced sugar cookie to eat later. It was fresh and delicious. Service was exceptional!

Worth the detour!! We read about this place online and, in spite of the high accolades, it exceeded our expectations! In our group we had the Broccoli Cheese soup, the Sweet and Smokey Turkey and Bacon Over My Hammy sandwiches and the Chicken Salad Garden Salad. Everything was exceptional. Ingredients were fresh, staff was patient and helpful and it had a varied selection. The home baked items were wonderful! Don't miss this gem!
