Root Cafe, Coffeehouse & Spirits

Wonderful staff with delicious baked goods. Its connected to an art gallery that has pieces in all price ranges. Every summer we bring all our company here for a wonderful hour or two of good coffee and interesting shopping.

Ordered two flatbreads, and 50 minutes later we went to check the status and they said they never put our order in. Got a refund and left, don’t plan on coming back.

I love Roots! The staff is super friendly, and the coffee and food are fantastic. This is a great place for breakfast or lunch and really has a cool atmosphere

It's the best place to relax, unwind and get some really healthy food. It's the make-from-scratch-everything approach that makes it stand out. I've never eaten samosas with apple slices, roasted almonds and cherry chutney with yogurt and chilli. Quite creative!

See owner, Dawn, for superb customer service; Great vibe; Artist co-op is top notch; Food is healthy, fresh, spectacular! Check out quaint, comfortable outside dining our back.
Love to Support Local‼ 😁

Have eaten sandwiches from Root a few times and have found the food always very good, and the staff friendly and efficient. My understanding is that almost 100% of the food is locally grown. The coffee shop is connected to a small gallery, Fernwood 1891, that showcases local artists who do absolutely excellent work in painting, thrown and hand-built pottery, metal sculpture, artisan jewelry and clothing--I was really floored to see it categorized as a "knickknack shop." And, at least when I have gone in, there were artists there demonstrating their craft along with running the shop. One of the coolest things is the concrete floor in Root. I'm not sure how it was done but it is exquisite. This cafe/coffee shop/cooperative art gallery is a SW Michigan small town treasure.

I come here when my internet is out (that's becoming frequent). Love the place. Music is soothing, atmosphere is really unique, but quaint. Food is amazing and the drinks are really good. Glad I popped in randomly one day.

Small menu compared to others, but great small town feel. There is a a/joing room filled! w/local art and trinkets, homemade jams. You can even watch them create potter of some type at certain times. I myself feel the past couple of "special" coffee concoctions I ordered the coffee was bitter? Food looks & smells great.

This place has the kind of food I look forward to every. time. You know how there are little trips you make that make you happy because it gives you an excuse to stop by somewhere really great? Root is one of those for me. The food is an imaginative take on coffee house classics, deli sandwiches, and fast fusion dining. The ingredients are as local as possible, often artisinally produced, and delightfully seasonal. The flavours will surprise you, from the sometimes savoury pastries, to the sweet and spiced soups and paninis. And yeah, there are traditional flavour offerings, too. But why eat something you can get anywhere else? Go for the fancy grilled cheese.

Met a friend this afternoon/evening. They are a coffee shop that also has spirits. I had a loaded Bloody Mary......yum! Spicy too!! Very cute space, lots of cool things to look at!! Recommend you give it a try!!
