Root Cellar Cafe

Head to the Root Cellar Cafe and Brewery just off the square. Everything on this chef-inspired menu is amazing. I always just go with the special, and I’ve never gone wrong.

If you don't have much of an appetite and have a big sweet tooth, the Baker's Bagel is AMAZING!! Honey cream cheese on a toasted bagel , topped with grilled cinnamon apples . Do it.

Great vegetarian options . The black bean burger is delicious. They've got turkey bacon on the menu which is awesome if you're not eating pork .

Service was a little slow, but everything tastes good and the layout made you feel like you were in a small town gem.

Had such a delicious dinner experience here! Everything was fresh and they were flexible with my substitution request.

The cinnamon rolls are FANTASTIC! Plus they're vegan , too!

Awesome place... Fresh natural tasty food for the same or less than the chain places... Breakfast is amazing, and the coffee is always great....

Came here for both breakfast and dinner . Brazilian French toast was delicious. The pasta that I ordered wasn't that great though.

Easy place to grab great good in a hip atmosphere . Beer awesome food awesome.

Excellent fish options, brownie sundae and bread pudding are winners

Great baked goods with vegan ???? options! Worth the price, I promise! ????????

Get the Brazilian French Toast with the berries and whipped cream . SO good!

Tortilla Crusted fish was amazing!! Cilantro lime rice and beans were also really good!! :)

Salmon is fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything you order

Get anything breakfast here! The house made whipped cream is great.

Gotta try the Brazilian French Toast . Soaked in vanilla rum . Yum!

This is easily the best food in town . If you live in San Marcos and haven't eaten here, shame on you.

Everything is great, especially the people. Watching your weight? Try the cherry hazelnut oatmeal . Not so worried about it? Get the Brazilian French Toast .

Everything here is awesome! It's a win win.

Food is very salty. Seasoning was good if you can get past the salt. Portions are average size. Not sure we will be back... It was all just "ok".

Get the shepherds pie with a fried egg on it and a Pale Rider Darkside . Breakfast of champions.

The Holy Aeoli and pretty much anything else

Best restaurant in San Marcos

Awesome food, order anything you wont be disappointed

Get the waffles ! The poached eggs are no good. Way over-cooked.

French toast and chai latte !

Half order of Belgium Waffles ; not Full.

I don't like waffles , but these... I loved.

Homemade dressings ! Yum!
