Very nice neighborhood cafe. 1. The coffee is reasonably priced and taste great. My wife ordered a latte and enjoyed it so much she grabbed another to take home. 2. The breakfast sandwiches taste great but are a little overpriced. We ordered turkey sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and it was $9.50 each. Had we had bacon (we don't eat pork) our sandwiches would have been $5.65. The avocado toast was pretty good however it was soggy and may have had a bit too much butter. It wasn't bad, but yet again. It was $10. All in all we paid about $47 for 2 croissant sandwiches, avocado toast, an orange juice, and 2 coffees. When visiting here you are obviously paying for the location. Our order probably should. Have been $30 tops. 3. The service was really good. They take your order when you arrive and you seat yourself. However, a waitress will bring out your food and drinks and check in on you occasionally. Our waitress was friendly and did a good job of making sure we were happy. 4. The dining area is cozy with a few high top tables. There are live plants and overall really relaxed vibe. The downfall is the space can fill up very quickly. If 5 or 6 orders come in back to back the place will fill up very quickly. When we visited it was rainy but they do have quite a bit of outdoor seating. They also provide free WiFi. 4. The parking is horrible! Street parking seems to be the best option. There is a parking deck across the street but I'm not sure if that deck is public parking.

Came here to enjoy a late breakfast/early lunch with a colleague. She was running behind so I went in to grab us a table. Bad idea. 1st issue - I wasn’t acknowledged or greeted. I was sitting for about 5 minutes when an employee came up to me and rudely told me that they were getting busy and that the customers in line will need a place to sit. You have to order food and THEN sit. She walked away before I could respond. I called her back over to my table to let her know I had every intention on ordering, was just waiting for my guest so that we could order together. Which is a thing right? Sometimes one party arrives before the other and they usually wait to order together? For added context, the cafe had plenty of seating when I arrived. They did get a bit of a rush moments later. If I had been sitting for an unreasonable amount of time I could understand politely asking a guest what their intentions are as we are getting busy and our tables are limited. But her approach was terrible and gave off “get out” vibes. Thankfully there was a bagel shop (Poppy’s) right around the corner and my colleague and I ended up having the best food & service there!

Atmosphere is nice and a cute, but it didn’t feel like it was run super well. No tables were available when we got to the register, so we ordered food to go. Soon after (as we were still waiting on our food), a table opened up so we sat down. We were promptly told we couldn’t sit there as it was only for customers who had a table number. I feel like this system doesn’t work though, because everyone stands in the same line to order…but you only get a table if one is open the instant you place your order so that you can get a number. You’re either lucky or not…there’s no in between. For a coffee shop/cafe, it seems too strict. People should be able to sit as they like as tables open up. Staff were nice and food was good but felt overpriced ($8 for a pop tart that I waited on for 15mins). I wanted to like this place and may give it another try, but I didn’t love it due to the $ and weird seating rules.

We were refused service after quietly standing in line for 20 mins. The cashier led with “we have no more tables and can’t serve you”. We offered to wait so we stepped aside while the next 5 couples approached the cashier. To our surprise, she offered two couples behind us the option to order. My family quietly stepped aside to wait for service only to experience blatant rejection. Gratefully a different employee saw what was happening and offered to seat us immediately and released us to place an order. Thanks for the allyship! We left the place, nonetheless, after the same cashier told us that none of our food selections were available. We will NEVER patronize this place again. Please require your employees to take bias courses. Such a waste since the food looked like it would have been tasty. So sad that we are in 2022 still experiencing the effects of 1965. My heart breaks for my children.

My wife and I stopped by here for a quick bite for breakfast. I’ll start with the one downside that I personally wasn’t a fan of. Once we started ordering, the individual at the front was nice, but not very accommodating. She didn’t seem that invested in us as customers, which is fine, but just something I noticed and the only reason I left a 4 star review. The food, however, is a whole other matter. My wife ordered the Smoked Salmon (a menu item) and I ordered the Breakfast Burrito (also a menu item). The burrito was just the right size with a good amount of sausage and other fillings, but not overflowing. The flavor was excellent. The burrito was filling. All-in-all, a great cafe worth a stop and a bite.

Their breakfast options are refreshingly unique, and the cozy boho interiors provide a comfortable and inviting setting. The coffee served here is simply fantastic, and the attentive staff make your visit even more enjoyable. If you're searching for a cafe that combines creativity, ambiance, and great coffee, this is the place to be. It’s also great place for a coffee date.

I have been here many times. They have great food and well crafted coffee drinks. Their drip coffee is also very good. The B.E.L.T. consistently ranks among the best sandwiches I've had. It's a simple, no gimmicks, BLT plus an egg. What makes it excel is that every ingredient is flavorful and contributes to the sandwich. The bread (sourdough I think) has a good chew. The tomatoes are flavourful and ripe. The deep golden yolk of a good egg provides umami goodness. The bacon is salty but not overpowering. Finally the greens are fresh and give a slight bitterness that brings out the rest. I'll leave something to the imagination and not provide details on the mayo (hint: it's also very good)

Good food, great coffee, good location terrific service. I went here for a morning social event and was surprised by the variety in food and beverage options. The coffee had a nice Rich flavor and the waitress continually came by the duration of time I was there to top me off, and I was there for over 4 hours! After the event, I ended up liking the atmosphere and food I'd had that I ended up staying for lunch and working for a few hours. The food was fresh with high-quality ingredients and a nice balance of heathly and hearty options. I also liked that their internet was decently fast and the atmosphere was perfect for hanging out for a little while and working. I would definitely come back to this place, even if just to meet someone for coffee or lunch.

I came here to unwind during an 8 hour layover at CLT. First off, this place is in a cute hidden nook in South End. It is very peaceful and welcoming! The staff is super friendly and patient and knowledgable about the menu. The cafe is small but they make the best of the space possible with aesthetic decorations. Anywhere you sit will have gorgeous photos. And finally, the menu! The menus are not only aesthetic, but their items are delicious. Everything is fairly priced too, nothing outrageous, and there are many different mill substituted and modifications for allergies available. The ingredients are fresh and service is vedy fast!

Overview: trendy corner cafe, order at the counter and seat yourself. Small interior, nice decor and about 10 tables. Relatively small menu with a wide variety of coffee options. I came with my wife for the first time to try breakfast. She ordered the breakfast burrito and I got the breakfast sandwich. Let me start by saying the quality of food was great, I particularly liked the burrito. Unfortunately both cost $8, and while I think that’s a fair price for the burrito it is about twice as much as they should charge for the Breakfast sandwich. Neither came with sides so we ended up spending about $20 and left hungry. Would return to try some other menu options, but overall it’s expensive for the portions.

My husband and two friends went to Roots for the first time on Sunday for brunch. We were all very impressed. The space is comfy and cozy and the service is FAST. You order at the counter and seat yourself. I had the BELT and my husband had the special, which was shrimp and grits, and everything was fresh and delicious. I also had a peach sangria and an iced vanilla latte, both of which I really enjoyed. I'm glad we found a new brunch spot that isn't overrated or has a ridiculously long wait. Although it's a small space, there is plenty of seating (bar, tables, patio). It seems like a good place to hang out and work if you work from home like me. I'd like to give that a try soon.

I ordered takeout. First time. The macchiato was delicious. Strong, smooth, great flavor. The breakfast sammy was decent. The croissant was buttery, sausage was cooked well done, the fried egg was a slightly overcooked. I ordered the soup and salad combo. Didnt receive the salad. The soup was well flavored but it was a little over oiled. What i was most dissapointed about was the grits. I love goat cheese. But the grits were clunked together and bland overall. Overall opinion, the drink was amazing so i would definitely try their coffee again.

So, I've interacted with two or three people here so far, and they've all been super-friendly. For those who used to frequent the Cluck 'N Cup that lived in the space Roots is now occupying, I'm sure this cafe is going to be subject to scrutiny ;) I ordered the Soba; which is a green curry noodle bowl/salad hybrid. The food was fresh, and had great presentation. My only gripe is with pricing. Take a look at the picture, and you decide if that's an $18 lunch (tip incl.) They're in a high-rent neighborhood, so maybe that's part of it. Their prime, walkable location, good food and nice staff means I'll definitely be back. Just maybe not every day.

Leaving 5 stars as I’m all about supporting local small businesses. Cool atmosphere and nice ambience but the staff isn’t very friendly and they never welcome you or say good morning etc.(today was my 5th visit) $15 for a coffee (one size only) and a breakfast sandwich makes them the most expensive coffee shop in Charlotte. That and it takes 20+ min every time there to get your food. Overall neat place and would go again but would avoid it on the weekends. I was there at 8:45 AM and there was no tables open and I didn’t get out of there until 9:20 AM and I got my sandwich and coffee to go. That’s too long of a wait

The atmosphere here is wonderful! My food was prepared promptly and the servers were very friendly. You order at the front counter, get assigned a number then sit waiting for your meal to be brought to you. Perfect spot for a light brunch and casual conversation.

I really enjoyed coming here last Saturday. Not so much for the food but for the atmosphere. It is a nice quaint little restaurant that does not feel like Charlotte. There are plants and cool accidents all over the restaurant. Saturdays and Sundays are brunch only so that is a little bit of a letdown. I got the chicken and biscuits which came with cornmeal biscuits and chicken thigh chicken. So keep that in mind when you order if you’re partial to those selections. They have cold brew coffee on tap and the staff was very friendly. It is a small restaurant so city may be limited.

I want to like it....it's walking distance from our house, the atmosphere is cute and the menu (both the previous offerings and new menu) SOUND good, but each time we've come here the food has either lacked in flavor or more importantly food that should be hot has consistently been cold. Not sure why they can't get the food temperature right, but that obviously is a food safety issue, not to mention I really don't enjoy eating cold food. We gave it four tries and with a disappointing experience on three out of four, we won't be back.

Food was good but hot $40 good. I had the pastrami sandwich with the soup. Both tasty but to be a "Brooklyn" pastrami sandwich there needs to be about a half pound of meat on the thing. This thing had one slice. For $14 I was not pleased. My wife's salad again was tasty but she felt it didn't come together well. Getting good bites incorporating the different flavors was nearly impossible. The service was great and the food came out fast but for this price point I was not impressed. Still a charming spot might be better for a drink.

I stopped by here for a quick breakfast on a Saturday. First time visiting. Good location in Southend. Parking was no issue. First impression was the fun decor. Next was a welcoming and helpful server at the counter where you order. I got an egg sandwich with bacon on rye bread. My idea and probably not the best choice for me as I found it a bit on the rich side (lots of bacon, which for some of you is perfect). The coffee was freshly brewed and they use good quality beans. Overall, great experience!

Our group of 5 had no clue what to expect when we walked in and we're always intimidated at places where you order at the counter and seat yourself. The staff was incredibly helpful and patient with us. The food was phenomenal. I got the roots bowl. Simple but delicious. All of us got something different but not a crumb was left on anyone's plates. Even as we left, the staff thanked us for coming in and made us feel truly appreciated. I will 100% be coming back.

This small cafe in South End Village is tucked away in the first floor of a new commercial development. It's compact and rustic, with a mix of 2 and 4--top and tables inside and a couple outside--not exactly great for large group meetings, but cozy for weekend brunch. The menu starts at $8 for breakfast sandwiches, and you'll probably end up spending more on sides if you want a full meal. You order at the counter and get a number. They refill drip coffee at the table.

I had a great first impression at ROOTS Cafe. The atmosphere was great both inside and out, even on a muggy, overcast morning. Plenty of space for pups outside as well. The menu had me flip-flopping between options, and what I ended up with was delicious! Only losing a star because of value. Prices were a little hefty for what you get, so if that's a deal-breaker for you, save this for a special occasion. Otherwise, I highly recommend this tucked away South End spot.

Came here with my wife who happens to be 9 months pregnant. After I found her a seat, we were asked to vacate the table before I even had a chance to order. Do not recommend! If you want customers to order prior to sitting down, have a host or someone who can greet you and point you in the right direction or at least let you know that’s the case. There are plenty of welcoming and accommodating establishments just steps away. Will not be coming back.

My favorite place in all of Charlotte. Breakfast Sammy, on an everything bagel, with vegan sausage ;p

First time here, looks nice and welcoming. However I waited 30 minutes before I just left. I never received my breakfast burrito and I was was honestly very hungry. I felt like I was forgotten or something. It didn't appear that they were very busy and I saw other orders coming up. Theres too many options to fool me again here.. We make decisions based on our values, organize yourself to act on healthy values. T

I love this coffee spot. It’s cozy and food is great. I’m not a coffee person so I always go for the coconut matcha latter and it’s amazing! They also have a salmon muffin which you can replace the muffin for an everything bagel and it’s delicious. During the weekends it can get pretty busy and there aren’t many tables available.

Delicious brunch. I had the Bronx bagel... Best pastrami I've ever had. Cold brew coffee was also great; was kind of hard to tell it was nitro, though, didn't have the smooth texture I was expecting, but flavor was great. Patio outside was a great place to hang out, and service was prompt and friendly. I never write reviews but felt compelled with how good this experience was.

A wonderful place to get coffee and a little treat. I really enjoyed sitting outside and relaxing. The food is good and the coffee is amazing.

Everything was safe and I highly recommend supporting this local of restaurant. Thanks!

I found ROOTS based off of google. I was looking for a new brunch restaurant to attend and decided to go here because of the reviews. The reviews were right... great food, great environment, solid menu and competitive pricing. I was very impressed by the hot honey biscuit. Would definitely recommend this item to anyone!

Great lunch spot with amazingly fast service! I’ve gotten the Roots Bowl and the Veggie Burger Bowl and would highly recommend them (although they are more salads than “bowls”). My sister got the Seared Salmon salad and said it was delicious. The outdoor eating area is delightful, but it fills up fast during busy times.

Best Avo Toast I've tasted in a while! In town for a family wedding. Looked up brunch places near us and based on the customer ratings decided to try it out. My husband had the beef bowl and our son, who is super picky had the grilled chicken sandwich. Everything tasted great. Not crowded and friendly, attentive staff.

Super chill spot, good music, nice tables that mouses work on, and plenty of outlets. Will definitely be coming back here to work remote again. That staff is fun and pleasant.

Always a great time; I'm so glad they're still open and operating safely!! Social distance tables, outdoor seating, and consistent sanitation of area. Food is amazing! Can never go wrong with the Basic B breakfast and their new fall cocktails be sure to get a biscuit with their fresh jam, too. …

Roots is my favorite place to get breakfast in Charlotte. They have so many delicious options, they're one of the best parts of my weekend! They're always quick, courteous, and consistently awesome. They also throw in a few extra pieces of bacon when I order it, which is greatly appreciated. Love you, Roots!

Popped in after landing in SC from CA. Breakfast was spectacular - we had a "sammy" and breakfast burrito with sweet potatoes. The coffee was great and the service was even better. They had dog treats in a dog by the door for pups out for a walk! Super clean, awesomely friendly service and fresh ingredients.

Hidden gem! Quaint locally owned breakfast & lunch spot just behind the building facing South Blvd. Free parking, but spaces probably go quick. Coffee tasty. Food was fantastic! Their breakfast menu has creative options, including

Great service! The staff is very helpful and the food is tasty. I got the homemade pop tart and omg it was soo tasty. Also i Love the ambiance, definitely check it out if your looking for good coffee, pastries and a relaxing spot.

Our food was good and the cafe is super cute. Didn’t give 5 stars because there is a weirdness with seating that you don’t normally see at cafes, made us feel like we needed to eat and get out fast for Sunday morning breakfast.

Awesome service, great food. Highly recommend.

A hidden gem! Great spot for locally sourced, thoughtfully prepared, chef-driven eats, great coffee, and a chill vibe. Try the bowls with added proteins for some of the heartiest, freshest, and tastiest lunch meals around.

Yummy croissant and bacon egg and cheese. The almond milk latte was okay, it was slightly slimy? Otherwise the service and food was great!

The hightop chairs were very uncomfortable and my breakfast burrito was not good. I'm not saying don't go because it's a cute little intimate spot for a brunch date. I'm just saying I have no desire to ever go back.

Cute little spot. Order at counter then take a seat. We missed the early morning rush. It was hard to resist the desserts at the counter. They look soooooo good. Definitely worth a visit for a casual quick bite.

The restaurant is pretty clean and the service was very friendly and helpful. It is a small spot with only one restroom. However, the food was pretty good and well seasoned! I can only speak on the breakfast...

Great atmosphere and even more delicious coffee. Staff is very friendly. Will keep coming back!

Food was delicious and the place is cute. There isn’t a lot of indoor seating so be prepared to either sit outside or take to go!

I've only had breakfast/brunch here, but I don't hesitate to say it's the best in Charlotte! Their weekend specials are on point so I rarely order from the regular menu. Give it a shot!

Avo toast - sandwiches - latke - beautiful salad - wonderful menu offerings - friendly place - peaceful atmosphere- definitely must for a nice meal & pet friendly patio! Thank you!

I had the Bronx Bagel and it was delicious. Freshly baked bagel with a perfect pastrami. Quick and very nice service. Would highly recommend for anyone and will def be coming back.

Food was amazing. The Bronx bagels was almost flawless except the pieces of pastrami were on the thicker side. Besides that great atmosphere and quality.

Portions were perfect and food was delicious. Grit bowl was amazing (def add an egg and some bacon).

I love the decor here. Had the avocado toast for breakfast. I really liked the accompaniments. The avocado mash itself was just okay though.

Friendly & attentive staff. Good sized portions. The curry chicken on croissant was amazing!
