I wandered in out of curiosity and now I’m obsessed. It’s a super cute judgment-free zone with the warmest energy. There’s lots of seating set up in a way that gives “introvert who wants company nearby but also don’t touch my stuff.”
The owner, Kendra, is like a little pixie angel who also bakes.
The vegan grassroots bars are gooey sweetness and the everything bagel is, yeah, everything. Love.
Great vibe. Great lattes. Great place to just unwind and exist for a while.

I’m sure it depends on the barista but the iced matcha latte tastes like straight water. Zero flavor. For $8 too is kind of criminal
Yummy food and great service. Ask for a customized meal and they will prepare it for you!

Small and friendly. They are mostly a coffee shop with a limited menu. Had the avocado toast which was excellent, although it took a while for it to be made. The hostess was quick to speed it along. Definitely worth a visit.
Hint: if you need a plug to charge your phone (like it did), sit on the wall.

Food was delicious and very friendly service. A nice atmosphere to hangout in and get some work done as well.
They did slightly mess my order up and forgot a few items but they quickly got them over to me. I would recommend checking your order if you added extras on it just to make sure you received everything you ordered.

Great breakfast choices but service is a mess. Takes WAY too long and they call out food items not names or order numbers- it’s a free for all. They need significant help on logistics side.

One of our go-to breakfast sandwiches in the neighborhood. But, I suggest calling in your order if possible because the service is consistently slow. For any parents reading this, also know that the layout of the cafe is not very stroller friendly.

I loved going to Root Hill - nice folks, good coffee and food, right around the block from my subway station. Sounds perfect! Except... Their service can be unreasonably slow. I left this morning after paying (and tipping!) because my coffee took over 15 min to prepare and I missed my train (and it wasn't terribly busy). Hope they start prioritizing speed of service a bit more here.

Food is good, atmosphere welcoming, staff is nice. Giving three stars though because of how consistently slow the service is. For simple orders like a coffee or bagel it routinely takes an inordinate amount of time; literally 5x as long as a comparable shop. I live nearby and have stopped doing pop-ins here because it takes so long (even when I am the only customer). Easier to go somewhere else or make at home. The quality is good, but if you're on the move not worth the extensive wait. Best suited for a lazy weekend morning
