I love the chicken bacon ranch panini, and literally every other thing I’ve tried from roots cafe. They are a fully gluten free facility. Last I knew they served canyon bakehouse bread and bagels. They also have lots of baked goods like scones, cookies, and cupcakes. It’s a must stop for anyone who is gluten free!!

This place was awesome! It’s surprisingly large and was very busy. It also sounds like people who aren’t gluten free just go to this cafe because it’s good, which is awesome! We tried a breakfast sandwich, the veggie quiche, avocado toast, and then we each had a dessert crepe. Everything was delicious, but the crepes were a standout. My boyfriend and I think that was probably the best crepes we’ve found (and we love crepes, so we attempt to find a gf option each place we travel). As we were leaving, I decided to try a cupcake. It tasted great, had a pretty good texture, but did lack structural integrity. That said, it wasn’t dry at all and the frosting was absolutely delicious, so I will definitely be trying more of their baked goods next time I visit Portland. They also sell their day old baked goods for half off which is awesome! Additionally, since this place is a little outside of Portland, we found it to be much more affordable than many of the places in the city. The cupcakes, for example, are $2.99, avocado toast was $3.50, a breakfast sandwich was $10 rather than $13 (or $15 with a gf bread up charge), etc. Overall, we really enjoyed this place and would definitely go back!

Update: I went back for another crepe and tried one of their cookies. Not bad, but a little grainy and kind of dry. I would definitely recommend the cupcakes over the cookies.

What a gem! Dedicated GF, with a pretty substantial lunch and breakfast menu. The bacon, egg, and cheese crepe was huge and very filling. The latte was probably the best I've ever had. The foam was thick -- the kind you dream about where the sugar sits on top. It was delicious!

The interior is clean, modern, and very pleasant. Staff were welcoming, warm, kind, and very hard working. A really great vibe here!

This is the type of place that, if you're lucky enough to live nearby, will become your regular place. (I'm jealous if you like close by!) Definitely on our list of favorites now. Stop by!

So happy to find this place while visiting Portland. Kids were thrilled to be able to choose anything on the menu. Our group had grilled cheese, Nutella crepes, avocado toast, tomato red pepper soup, a chicken sandwich, and a couple smoothie drinks- all was fresh and tasty. We also got a couple cupcakes and muffins to go. Outdoor & indoor seating.

A Celiac dream come true!! Wow - the fact that this place is 100% gluten free is such a relief! Although I also have Lactose Intolerance, which was a bummer for me considering all of their baked goods contain dairy. All that said, the sandwich I had was AMAZING!!! Absolutely delicious.

Everything is gluten free, which is really nice! They also don’t let employees bring in things with gluten and understand that there can’t be cross contamination. My brother wanted his food without the cheese, which was just a preference, but the person taking his order checked if it was an allergy, which makes me feel like the people there are aware of other allergies too. They are very kind and understand about celiac. The restaurant has a nice feel, with books you can borrow, nice staff, and outdoor seating. I went there twice and have tried the Strawberry Fields salad, Morning Maple Bacon, chocolate chip cookie, chocolate sugar donut, and tropical smoothie. All of it was delicious! It was really nice to be able to go to a place that was dedicated gluten free with lots of yummy food and really nice staff! I wish there was another location of Roots closer to where I live!

Completely gluten free facility. Amazing service, amazing food. I have been here several times and everything is always amazing. Sandwiches are all made on Canyon bread. Amazing baked goods. Many options can be made dairy free. A lot of the food doesn't taste "gluten free". If you know, you know with the bread but the donuts taste like donuts, the smores brownies are amazing too 😋. Lending library available, although all the books seem to have extreme religious undertones.

Awesome design, menu options, everything is gf which is a huge relief. The only negative is for me the religious vibe was a little jarring, I loved that there was a book store when you walk in & everyone was very welcoming. The religious music playing inside & outside threw me for a bit of a loop otherwise we would’ve stayed longer.
