Root Cafe is the kind of place whose atmosphere and culture are established independently, first by the owners through the creation of a neighborhood venue that reflects themselves, and second, by the contributions of the local regulars. Classy, yet comfortable and down to earth.

I love coming here to work while I eat. My two favorite menu items are the Mushroom Melt and the Constant Variable, both served with marinara sauce.

The Root is what I'd imagine Lakewood as a whole is all about. Tons of personality and character and super welcoming. Wife and I stopped for a couple of teas and the barista was super helpful and put together a couple of fantastic drinks. Very cool atmosphere and lots of drink selections.

Root Cafe is a fantastic spot, especially for anyone looking for all-vegetarian and vegan dining options. I really appreciated how easily they agreed to modify my order. I had the vegan power bowl, which was truly amazing. It featured fresh veggies and lots of flavor. The only thing I would have loved was a bit more tempeh, but that’s a minor suggestion in an otherwise delicious dish.

The vibe at Root Cafe is great, casual and welcoming. Even when it was busy, the ordering process was smooth and easy. It’s clearly a well-run place that makes plant-based dining both accessible and enjoyable.

If you’re in the area and looking for a fresh, flavorful meal in a friendly atmosphere, Root Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

The Sweet Potato Sandwich MAY be the best sandwich in Ohio - and I'm not even just talking about vegetarian sandwiches. The Root Rocks!

Coming from Cow country (Texas) we love to find great vegan when we travel and glad to visit The Root. Great staff and atmosphere. Vegan tuna melt and roasted potatoes. Will be back next time in the area!
