Opened in late 2009, it offers a vegetarian-centric menu, which features its signature veggie pizza, freshly-made pastries, and other food items.

My favorite coffee shop! Plus, very laptop friendly with reliable WiFi and electrical outlets near almost every table.
Great food, coffee, and beer.Fun people.Come in and be yourself.Very warm and welcoming.
I love the Root Cafe. Kiley there makes this super awesome Breve Latte with just a hint of honey that I can't get anywhere else. And my vegan friends can find lots of options for pastries to go with their coffee.

The 'Dread Eye' is Dynamite! Great vibes in this coffee shop!
