The staff is always so friendly here. The iced caramel latte is always on point and the ambiance gives brooklyn to a T. 10/10 recommend

Came here for a quick bite and thought the place was so cute! Food was really good and light! Got an iced cappuccino which thought was good too! It's a very small spot so keep that in mind.

This place was cute! I love a chai and some ambiance :) Great people, good snacks, nice drinks. Def try this place if in the neighborhood.

I enjoy sauntering over to this place during lazy mornings. I especially like the community feel. However, to echo what others have mentioned, their customer service leaves much to be desired. Each time I stand at the counter waiting to order, it's a mystery what I will get. Typically, it's a blank "why are you standing here" stare followed by a reluctant hello. I always feel unwelcome by the baristas who always seem to be engaged in some sort of intense personal conversation which I am interrupting by asking for a latte. A smile or even a "Hi there, What can I get started for you?" Would really go a long way to keep in theme with your welcoming "community" vibe.

Roots is my favorite cafe in South Park Slope/Greenwood. Their coffee is fresh and high quality, staff is very friendly. They have many delicious options for food with pastries, muffins, and hot food options. The seating is very comfortable and welcoming environment. I really like that they have vegan options such as the Taibbi sandwich, Jamie's burrito, pastries, and non-dairy milk. My only critique is that the vegan scramble in the vegan burrito is a little bitter and I suspect it's because there's a little too much turmeric or other spice in the spice mix. This is a leftover from the previous owners of the cafe. My recommendation for restaurants making a tofu scramble would be tone down the turmeric (it's mostly only for color), add nutritional yeast, cumin, and a little black salt. The mix recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen is a great starter base with a lot of flavor.

Got the Taibi. Very yummy. The green goddess dressing makes it. Very friendly atmosphere. Good service. Great bread. Even the music is nice here

Super cute neighborhood cafe, cozy and eclectic. Great pit stop if you need a drink while walking around the neighborhood or just want to pause for a moment, although narrow, Roots has plenty of seating! The barista was really friendly and my drink was excellent too; I tried the iced coco americano (americano with coconut water) and don't knock it til you try it. It's so refreshing and hydrating in this very hot summer! I will certainly be back!

Nice, small and cozy spot to get coffee. The turkey Cuban I ordered was pretty good. I also ordered a cold brew and then added a splash of oat milk. Wasn't too strong but managed to wake my jetlag self up. I loved the art pieces that adorned the wall that were also for sale too.

This is a great place with quality coffee to hang for a while to do some work and grab a bite! I needed a place to work for a few hours on a weekday and I was happy to find that roots had multiple tables and some outlets available. Cafes often only sell pastries and nibbles, so I really like that they have a more hefty food menu. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito- it was a generous portion This is definitely one of my go to cafes in the neighborhood now- check it out!

I'm Mexican. I lived in Arizona for a decade. So while burritos aren't really Mexican food to me (they're not a thing in Mexico City anyway), breakfast burritos are most certainly southwestern to me and I built up very high standards after those 10 years in the desert state. With that preface, the breakfast burrito here was good, but not mind blowing. Good breakfast burritos in New York are hard to come by - to this day, I can't think of a single one that matches anything in Arizona. But this one was good. It was definitely above average in the NYC breakfast burrito lineup. I'm still searching for the one though. Friendly service though and a few seats outside which is great.
