The Root Note

Great tea! Great food! Unique décor, relaxing and intelligent...Try the Cremlin, this is my savory comfort food.

A great time all around. The vibe was chill, the baristas...fantastic...the food was great but I only had the chili but will be coming back way more to critic the food. After living in La Crosse for 10 years, leaving for 5 and just now coming back to it, it was nice to finally find a place there that I truly felt comfortable in.

The best organic restaurant experience I have ever had. The atmosphere was so calming and laid back. The waiters were so friendly and accommodating . The food was farm to table fresh as could ever be. Anyone who loves organic food would fall in love with this place !

Best Coffee and Beer in the river city. Amazing music every week. Open Mics and world class performers make this place a must visit destination. Kind employees and and consciously prepared farm to table food.

Friendly and delicious. Root Note regularly has live music and activities at night. They also have one of the more unique collections of on-tap beer in La Crosse. They tend to more Wisconsin beer than many bars. Their Crepes are amazing, and you can't go wrong ordering a mixed drink.

The root note is a good place, but if you're going just for coffee, I'd advise another place. You're going to pay a little more, but you're paying for the environment more than the drinks. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated though it can be very dim. The environment is very calming, and gives a sense of serinity, though it isn't quiet. If it was brighter, however, it wouldn't be as nice. I do recommend 8t t9 my friends.

My favorite place to go! Great place to catch some creativity lots of music events. Vegan crepes are decent (make sure if you’re vegan you ask for a vegan crepe). I would suggest this to anyone who needs a place to relax, do homework, listen to some live music, or to just get a cup of coffee...

I come here very often. I am a graduate student at UW La Crosse and enjoy drinking coffee. They make good pour overs and their consistent and very specific food menu of multiple crepe options and chili and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies can be good snacks. The interior is eclectic and made out of a lot of reclaimed furniture; the aesthetic is that of a coffee shop operating out of a run down apartment and THAT IS THE POINT. There are holes in the ceiling and wobbly tables. It's also quite dark, so it's not much of a homework or business spot. Lots of great music is played in this space (live and otherwise). I recommend the Root Note as a daily hang out option, but not for someone looking to get some homework done or for those that prefer an open space, minimalist, well-crafted edges type of coffee spot like you see a lot in other markets. The Root Note does an awesome job and markets to a specific clientele in near perfection. As a part of this clientele, I must say I love this place.

Probably the best espresso in LaCrosse! The oatmilk latte is also a great choice. Their crepes (both sweet and savory) are wonderful but slightly expensive. If you want to study here, I do not suggest coming here in the evening (with the exception of jazz night) as it tends to be louder during these times.

Had a great latte and enjoyed the relaxed vibe. Very attentive baristas!
