Roots Cafe

Amazing community coffee shop. Amanda has a gift making people feel welcome and loved. Much more than a cup of coffee!

This place just has a great atmosphere. It was the best lemonade I've had because it had a little extra spice in it. Amanda was so friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in NY.

I came in here one morning and basically never left. Behind a tiny unassuming storefront is a real community, with the same baristas every day who get to know their customers and run arts, indie publishing and music events when they're not at work (and sometimes when they are).

I just wanted to get that part out before I started talking about the food. You may be scared at first by the thought of vegan muffins, but hidden behind the fridge is a tiny kitchen where they make the most incredible breakfast bowls with scrambled egg and cheddar, fresh plum tomato,sliced avocado, black beans, homemade chipotle salsa - if you want you can get toast or tuck it all into a burrito... and I haven't yet gotten to the grits, yogurt and granola, rolled oats, and grilled cheese sandwiches with all the stuffings (yes they have meat)...

Need I even mention the wifi and the fact that I would rather work here than at home any day. And I live half a mile away.

Loved this place and the food is delicious. Very peaceful environment. The staff is extremely kind. I'm visiting from Atlanta so it was nice to see a little bit of that southern hospitality!

A short walk from my house, this is a wonderful local cafe with plenty of comfortable seating, free WiFi, great coffee and *** AVAILABLE OUTLETS *** which are worth their weight in gold when you want to just have a seat, get a caffeine-fix and get some work done. Airy and friendly atmosphere, decent prices and great menu make this place "Oh so Brooklyn!"
