I was standing literally the first in line I was completely ignored as he started taking the ppl next to me as if my children and I wasn't even standing there. So I say something the man literally rolled his eyes at me and just simply ignored me. Very unprofessional. I said something again and then decided it wasn't worth it and went and ordered from the little Spanish market side. Something needs to be done here.

During a recent visit to the Orlando Science Center with a group, we stopped by 4Roots Cafe for lunch, and it turned out to be a great choice for a quick and satisfying bite. The cafe offers a large variety of options, making it easy for everyone in the group to find something they like.
I opted for the BBQ offerings and tried both the pork and chicken sliders, which were served on soft Hawaiian rolls, along with a side of mac and cheese. The sliders were delicious—tender, flavorful, and the perfect portion size for a light lunch. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, rounding out the meal nicely.
While 4Roots Cafe is more of a simple cafeteria-style spot, it served its purpose perfectly for a quick and tasty meal. It’s not fine dining, but for a casual lunch at the science center, it was just what we needed. If you're looking for a quick and tasty meal while exploring the exhibits, 4Roots Cafe is a solid choice!

The food was ok - except for some charred vegetables. Staff was unfriendly and didn’t smile once during the whole process of building my own bowl. They were low on some items and the girl just kept scraping the containers to make my bowl and I had to ask her to get a new container of vegetables. The sitting area was pretty dirty and full of food and napkins on the floor.

Surprisingly good food, bad ordering app, poorly organized staff and ordering system. If you order on the website/qr code/website, it isn’t linked to inventory. So they were out of one of the proteins for a bowl, the chips, and the fruit punch. But we didn’t know until I inquired about our order (they give a pickup time 60 min after ordering) and they asked about substitute protein. I had to stand in line to figure out where the order was because it was late and no one was saying anything. The line was long maybe 15 people with one a person building bowls and taking orders, very slow not moving. The kids orders both were missing their sides and their drinks. It wasn’t until we sat down to eat we realized that and had to go back and figure out a substitute and it was too late to change the order (they said substitutions was the only thing they could do). Also, there’s a mandatory 10% tip billed even though you have to order yourself, stand in line and wait for food, figure out missing items, seat yourself, and bus your own table. Incidentally, our table leg was broken and we had to repair it ourselves by turning it to the side and screwing a bolt that had come out back in. That said, the bowls were good and it was nice not to have to leave the science center.

Bowl was great. Pizza, not so much. Some staff were very short as if your were bothering them, others were fantastic! Prices were great.
Update 2025: they took the beans off the menu which made the bowls amazing. Now the bowls are just ok. This visit, it was too salty! Sucks, because we came here to eat too.

It was Monday and they run out of 60% of manu but they still charged full price. I showed up 30 min after they opened and still did not have a lots of things prepared. So, they were out of a lots of menu items plus half of items were not prepared. After we received food hot dog was burned. Very bad experience
I believe you have to be in the science center to eat here but there is an entrance out into the park that may be ok to use. The food is well priced considering how much you get, the main issue is that some of the things have clearly been under heat lamps too long and didn’t have great flavor. Still probably worth a stop if you’re spending the day at the museum.
Parking: Parking garage for the science center.

We ate here twice while vacationing in the area. Some healthy options at reasonable prices. Tasted great and filled us up. In museum so noisy and floor was sticky but we would eat there again for sure. I had brown rice and pork or BBQ chicken with 4-bean mix and avocado topped with comeback sauce.
Dietary restrictions: Good for gluten free.
Parking: We went to Mennello Art Museum first which has free parking and then crossed the street to get lunch.
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly with a couple of activities.
Decent food for cafeteria style. There was a guy Stanley working and he was nothing short of accommodating and was so nice to my son who just kept asking for things but Stanley had amazing guest service and it was really appreciated. I'd come back for him alone.

I had a tofu bowl & it was pretty good. Nice spicy kick.
$7 for a salad bowl is not expensive. People in this state love complaining!

Food is amazing !! Like a mix between chipotle and fresh kitchen and way cheaper. Why are there no more locations outside of OSC? Sad.
