Roots Cafe & Giftique

What a charming place to stop for a meal - menu is pretty big, and I was tempted by a lot of dishes, but it was a soup kind of day. I had the French Onion soup and it was delicious. Seriously geat. My friend had the homehame chicken noodle soup. She said it was delightful. I had the iced peach and mint tea and loved it. They have nice desserts - we just got a piece of chocolate each. Nice little gift shop to the left inside the restaurant. Staff was super friendly and owner was wandering around speaking to everyone there. Very personal space. Will go back there, for sure.

Had lunch here a couple times and finally leaving a review! Highly recommend to anyone who needs to find a place that is vegan or dairy free! Staff is very informative of their menu items and what is in them and very accommodating on dietary needs especially for allergies. I had a dairy free sandwhich and it was delicious! Before that I had a amazing grilled cheese that was dairy free, check it out for yourself if you are vegan or dairy free/dietary restrictions.

Roots Café and Giftique is the nicest little spot in East Greenbush. For years it was the Country Trunk and I never got a chance to go. I was meeting my cousin for her birthday and we decided to try Roots. Well, not only was the food great but the service was wonderful also. Our server was Melanie and she was excellent and so attentive. What a little gold mine in East Greenbush. If you’re looking for a quiet little quaint place to have breakfast or lunch I highly recommend Roots Cafe!!!

Very cute cafe! Owner was super nice and personable. Waitresses have great personalities! Food was great and tasty. Try the Skiiers Delight. Enjoyed our breakfast so much that we returned for lunch after our bike ride on the nearby Electric Trail!

The words charming, adorable, and quaint all fit this café. I was out and about in East Greenbush and googled what was near by and i decided to take a chance. I was not prepared for this wonderland of a place. The decor was so out of box and yet it fit perfectly. Two thumbs up to the owner for coming up with such a creative place to have a quiet brunch. Thank you for your attend to details and your personality. I can tell you put a lot of heart and soul into this place.
