Review of Roots Cafe

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.
