The Root Cafe

We are dedicated to sourcing ingredients that are local and organic. We get produce from local farms when in season. Some of our veggies even come from community gardens and farms in Lakewood. Look for dishes using in season heirloom vegetables...

Coffee is cheap af for the great quality you're getting. Great vegetarian and vegan options that even those who enjoy a good burger will find filling and massively flavorful. Wish the WiFi was better.

Raw night on Thursday is a good way to try things you probably haven't had before. Plus it's vegan . Try making any of your favorite espresso based beverages with almond or soy milk .

Anthony Hitch

Great coffee ! Skilled baristas. Awesome tea blends. And there's this sandwich that I can't get enough of called the ___baked and toasted. It's veggies and hummos. So good.

Cinnamon coffee is pretty good. Refills are $1. Lot of hippies here. It's a vegan/organic place so if you're into that. Also no Muzak which can be good or bad.
