Roots Cafe

Wonderful service and delicious food. I explained to my server that I have celiac disease, and she was quick to communicate alternatives and work arounds for me, including gluten free bread. She did not hesitate to go into the kitchen to ask questions and make notes on my order. I had the sweet potato black bean burger on a bed of lettuce with herby salty fries - cooked in a dedicated GF fryer! Last but not least: the pineapple strawberry mimosa was amazingggg. Ten out of ten would highly recommend!

We arrived at 2:00, seated at 2:20. Told twice that “the kitchen is not gluten free - they’ll just give you a menu item minus the bun”. Food arrived at 3:40. Burger was a sad, small, oddly burned patty (ordered cooked medium). Celiac son got sick the next day. Poor service, NOT celiac friendly. We gave it the benefit of the doubt based on FMGF prior customers.

Cute, quaint place with a small but intriguing menu. No separate gf menu but knowledgable and sensitive staff for those with celiac or gf needs. Dedicated fryer for their yummy hand-cut fries. Sandwiches, salads, burger, soups, and a few daily specials. Gf bread is usually available and is supplied by a local bakery -- it's delicious. I had the curried chicken salad on gf toast and it was fantastic. Prices range around $12-$15 per person. Service was incredibly slow and a bit flighty the day we went, hence the 4 stars, but, overall, it was a great lunch.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff was knowledgeable about gluten. The best salad I’ve had.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. 4 stars because the line is often long and you need to be prepared to wait a while for your food. My husband and I were there over 2 hours just for dinner. However it’s a very cozy atmosphere and had live music.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. GF items noted on the menu too. Nice cozy atmosphere and delicious grass fed burgers!
