The Root Note

Delicious drinks that turned my morning around! The staff were a great delight too! I asked for recommendation for something refreshing but not too sweet, and the recommended tonic espresso hit the spot. We also tried the herbal tea with blueberry and it was refreshing as well. The interior is tasteful and huge with a lot of seating. I hope to stop by again to try other items!

My wife and I about given up on where to go for outstanding coffee. We were pleasantly surprised when we came to try The Root Note. The care and attention from the atmosphere to the flavors. I had a Breve and I can confidently say my favorite coffee in all the Coulee Region. Also their crepes are something that I would expect to come out of a Top Chefs kitchen. Thank you to all the staff for a great coffee date with my wife.

The location is great right off the river near the park. The food is decent and prepared quickly. I'm not a fan of self-serve. The roasted bean juice is the best part. Not a big fan of the interior change, the past setup had a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Though I like the hosted local art.

The food and drinks were spot on, would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area. Syrup was house made, and there were gluten-free and vegan options available. The staff was gracious and helpful with questions and recommendations (they even switched the esspeso in a drink, so the flavor profile would match my meal better!)
The espresso and tonics were light and refreshing; I wish more shops offered this as an option.

I'm so happy to have the Rootnote back! The new decor is much brighter, which takes some getting used to. It's beautiful, but I loved the darker ambiance of the original, so I'm biased there. The same great coffees, teas, and beverage menus, but the food is cut wayyyyyyy back. Great vegetarian choices. They've done away with most of crepes except the Cremlin and the cinnamon sugar, which saddens me deeply. I have a bit of trouble finding something I enjoy as a pickier eater, but my daughter (a vegetarian with a broader palate than mine) always finds something yummy.

traveling through for work and stumbled into this gem of a coffee shop. double espresso - perfect, biscuit sandwich- extremely tasty, and music set list from the only ones to the replacements along with fugazi and new order couldn't have made my morning more enjoyable. sit on the stage if you can (as long as no band playing) staff is top notch!!!

I’ve recently been able to finally visit the Root Note after the remodel and I was pleasantly surprised! I loved it before, and I still love it now! Their apple cider is great and I love their grilled cheese sandwich. I would highly recommend them and I’ll definitely be visiting more often.

Their herbal tea was wonderful!
Stayed for hours chatting with my good friend and had a lovely time. It was a slow night which I liked because I'm an introvert but the vibe is nice as well!

We love the Root Note! Great food, coffee, beer selection. They are very friendly and accommodating with our toddler. One of our favorite places to go out in La Crosse, highly recommend!

Love this place, however, they have eliminated my granddaughter's favorite and were unwilling to accommodate a simple request for a plain crepe with butter and sugar. Also, no more whipped cream! These seem like simple things to have available so I'm puzzled and frustrated as we adults love to eat and drink at Root Note, but will have a harder time doing so without the things my granddaughter enjoys.
