Among the best spots in the neighborhood, the food is delicious. The prices are reasonable. There's a wonderful community nearby🏃🏾‍➡️🏃🏾‍➡️🏃🏿‍➡️

Such a cute place, always really nice service. Had a delicious coconut water Americano, which I was a little hesitant about, but it’s delicious!

Dynamite local cafe ..the kind that makes you say, “now this is what Brooklyn is all about.” Cool relaxed vibe and super nice people. Everyone feels comfortable here.

These photos are from the summer, but I'm here right now in the cold and it's very cozy. Love their vegan breakfast burrito...have gone out of my way to come to this neighborhood to get it. Prices are reasonable, service is kind, and I love the space. Seats often fill up. Love their ethics too—there's currently a food donation box, and they hosted free Thanksgiving dinner last Thanksgiving.

TBH, haven’t had their coffee but their sign caught my eye. So cute!!!
Besides , they’ve been in the same location for more than a decade. So, must be doing something good .

Although I live in Carroll Gardens I walk here nearly every day to grab a different iced coffee to hang out. Something I get food. The turkey and tomato sandwich is amazing. The staff is great. They all know me now.

The atmosphere is relaxing where you can sit on couches, chairs or tables. Although the place is small it's not small enough to be cramped so there is room. The background music they play is amazing and can vary by day from classic rock, 70s, 80s 90s, folk, indie, pop and even jazz.

Also they provide free fast WiFi which is great so you can use it at your leisure.

Love this place and the way they are a 3rd space for the community. 5-stars doesn't do it justice. All the stars!

This is my favorite cafe in Brooklyn. The coffee is the best, but the people are even better. Whenever I start my day here, it’s a good one. Thank you all for being so wonderful!!

This reminds me of an awesome cafe in my hometown upstate, and I appreciate it especially for its warm and casual atmosphere that is becoming harder to find lately! Great food, drinks, and people

The best way to start the day is at Roots Cafe! This is a very cute coffee shop in the neighborhood offering delicious coffee drinks and breakfast bites to satisfy the hunger. I heard they do little shows here for local music artists and they also display art on their walls of local artists. Also they have good taste in music. Let’s go Roots!

I just had one of the great iced lattes of my life. I come here all the time, but today I am particularly reminded of what a gem this spot is.The Forty Weight Coffee they serve is bomb. It speaks to Roots' attention to detail to not just serve either 1) middling coffee roasted by one of the giant 'specialty' coffee roasters in the city that tastes average at best or 2) one of the great truly specialty roasters that also makes one cup cot a fortune. They found a great roaster, and make a great cup of coffee for a fair price. Rock on Roots!
