Roots Coffeebar & Cafe

First time here, came with friends on a Sunday for lunch. It’s located right across from Lake Fowler, so you can choose to dine inside or take your order to-go and sit at one of the lakeside tables. Inside, there are numerous seating areas for different-sized groups, spread across several “rooms” that give you a sense of privacy. Large front windows let in plenty of natural light, making the space feel open and bright. We arrived right around noon, just as the lunch crowd was filling in. There was a short line that moved quickly. Service was friendly and helpful while we placed our order. We decided on the Brie Salad and the Avocado Toast, along with a Lemonade and a London Fog Tea Latte. I gave them my special instructions for the latte (a little lavender, a little vanilla, extra foam, i

Roots always holds a special place in my heart. Its cozy atmosphere accompanied with tasty coffee provides comfort bliss.

I ordered online never been here before looked good so I thought I would try it. I was going to wait outside for my order but needed to use the bathroom and my husband said he was hungry so I thought I would checkout what they had see if there was anything he would like. WOW, I'm impressed! The staff was friendly. The inside was beautiful open and so much to look at. Great seating options too. Definitely a place worth more than a pick up and go. Will stop again and enjoy the atmosphere. Even my pen friend from Oregon wants to have some breakfast here when she visits.

I really love this place because it is right downtown and right by the boardwalk. I love the atmosphere, and I love the very friendly workers that they’ve had for years. I love the diversity of food options. However, I do feel that the food and coffee is going a bit downhill. I ordered a pumpkin chai and it was extremely sweet! Especially compared to stone Creek and other options. I also ordered a kids cheese and it was extremely hard. Unfortunately, my son could not eat it because it was so hard! I do feel like this feedback is important to know! I would give it five stars, but I think they need to make some tweaks on the quality of food and menu.

I love Roots— I come here frequently as I am local to the area. However, and this is probably based on factors I am unaware of, recently I’ve noticed a big jump in prices. My iced oatmilk latte was $8.87, which seemed very steep. I will have to rethink my choice of coffee shops in the future as this is a little more than I would like to spend. And yes, I realize oatmilk is probably an up charge, but other coffee places aren’t this expensive.
