Roots Cafe

My third visit while I travel through Maine. Love that I can eat in a totally gluten free establishment where the food is truly awesome!! So by and enjoy a cup of coffee, and an egg sandwich on a Canyon Bakehouse bread or wonderful muffin or scone for breakfast. Stop by for lunch and have a panini and cookie or cupcake. You can't go wrong, no matter what you choose!! The staff is very attentive even during the busiest of times. Thank you, Roots Cafe, for a fabulous place to stop on my journey.

Roots Cafe is a wonderful spot for coffee, brunch, lunch, baked goods, or just to enjoy the atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The service is quick if you're on the go, but I would recommend going to relax and catch up with a friend or read a good book. The food is wonderful. Everything is gluten free (and as someone who was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease, this is a blessing), however you would not be able to tell this from the taste of any of their cookies, muffins, cupcakes, or sandwiches! I highly recommend enjoying this wonderful cafe!

My daughter, who has Celiac Disease, breathed a sigh of relief just walking into Roots Cafe. She was SO happy to have a place where she can eat ANYTHING on the menu - plus you can't even tell that the food is GF - SO DELICIOUS! 😃 ☕ 🧁- We came in for breakfast 2 mornings in a row while we were in town. The place is so clean, and love all the wood and decor of this place. Wish they had a Roots Cafe in Chicago!

I've been to Roots a million times and I plan to a million more. The food is amazing - I had no idea anything was gluten free while eating it. It doesn't taste like you're compromising at all. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and much more cozy than Starbucks.

Get the Strawberry Fields Salad. You wont be disappointed.

Dropped in this week for a quick lunch with my mom. Roots offered friendly service, great sandwiches and an awesome pumpkin maple whoopie pie! My mom is gluten-free, so it’s great to have a dine-in option for her where she can order whatever she wants without worry. Great experience - Will definitely be back!

Had Breakfast crepes etc.
Everything was absolutely delicious. Super fresh ingredients. The flavors were sooo good. The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful. Great job everyone!

Dynamite brunch: the employees seem eager to assist you, held eye contact, and all seemed to enjoy working there which sets a great foundation for a business. Coffee and quiches taste better when the person who gave it to you was giving you a genuine smile and that positivity creates a ripple effect. Most cafes just give you a coffee, Roots gives you coffee AND an environment that fuels you with hope and motivation. Additionally, they promote love and compassion with their merch and wall art. We enjoyed several types of quiches and frittatas dining in, and the entire place was immaculately clean. This is a wonderful business to support.

The food was okay but the coffee was not good. They also didn’t mention anywhere that all their food is gluten-free (which is great, but odd that it’s not advertised?). But the food and drink is not why I’m giving this a low review. Honestly, this place was a total bait and switch. When we walked in we saw a cute library and shop but as we looked closer we realized this is a super religious … church group? When we took a trip to the restroom it all became very clear. There were bibles and conference rooms and religious symbols and teachings all over the place and we began to feel very uncomfortable. It was kind of wild how we all came to realize it and it felt like we were being misled. I don’t think that we would have wanted to go if we had known this information prior.

As someone with celiac disease, I can't stress enough how amazing it is to have a dedicated gluten free cafe so close by! I can order anything, without worry, and for gf stuff it tastes amazing! The employees have always been helpful and kind to me, and it's just good vibes all around. I'm a frequent visitor and proudly displaying the Roots bumper sticker on my car.

Coffee was very good. Food was so so. The place is cute and if you are truly gluten intolerant then I'm sure the food would be rated higher in your opinion. I will be back to try the hash brown casserole.
