Crema's Take
“Roots Cafe is a beloved neighborhood gem where European-quality cuisine meets Charlotte hospitality, with reviewers raving about their exceptionally crafted espresso and impressively composed breakfast dishes that feel anything but ordinary. The intimate, quaint space fills quickly on weekends, but the welcoming staff and mix of cozy indoor seating plus outdoor tables make it worth the wait for families, couples, and solo coffee seekers alike. Whether you're lingering over a specialty drink or catching up with friends over thoughtfully prepared food, this place has clearly earned its reputation as a hidden treasure in the city.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
