I really like this place and I’m surprised the overall rating isn’t higher….which I think it deserves to be so giving it 5 stars. The food is healthy, delicious and fast. We know it’s not easy running a place like this and I want to show my appreciation for the good food they create. My go-tos are the breakfast sandwich and Greek salad. Sometimes I stop in on my way to work…..it’s very convenient and the only place of it’s kind in the area.

So good! We ate here a few time while staying at a hotel nearby. Roots To Rise is so much better than the hotel breakfast! And its right across the street. Everything was made fresh and tasted great. The employee I met was polite and efficient. We are eating here again tomorrow!

I have no idea why this place is rated less than 4 stars. The staff is friendly, helpful, and add to the general good vibes of the cafe. The food was tasty and they have all day breakfast. Underrated spot worth checking out if you are in the area and want a bite or a place to post up for a few hours!
