The Root Café has carved out a niche as a hip place to enjoy coffee, food and music in the community. Opened in late 2009, it offers a vegetarian-centric menu, which features its signature veggie pizza, freshly-made pastries, and other food items. Beverages include a selection of craft beers, Asian teas, tisanes and smoothies. There are open-mic music nights here as well.

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.
