Root Cafe, Coffeehouse & Spirits

Great coffee and unique menu. A little pricey though. Its definitely a place to go to if you are looking for a classy place.

Healthy creative food that was delicious. And very gluten friendly.

Absolutely warm and wonderful small town coffeehouse! My first experience of this place was on a rainy day a few years ago, I’d just made MIchigan my full time home and as such I wasn’t fully aware of the hours or days of operation. It was pouring rain and I had a few hours to kill while waiting for my car to be serviced down the street so I ran with my head down and into Root and it wasn’t until I walked in that I realized they were closed. The owner was there cleaning or working on something and I was so embarrassed and apologized and she could not have been more kind or accommodating to me. She invited me in and she made a latte for me and let me sit there and drink it while she worked. I have been stopping there ever since and the food is down to earth good eats too! The soup bowls are the size of swimming pools it appears and there is nothing better on a winter day. Great coffee and chai served in artist made mugs; I forget to mention they sell local artist wares at Fernwood which is attached. I have bought a few oil paintings there from artists whose talent goes unmatched! Good home cooked meals and they now serve alcohol too!

Met a friend this afternoon/evening. They are a coffee shop that also has spirits. I had a loaded Bloody Mary......yum! Spicy too!! Very cute space, lots of cool things to look at!! Recommend you give it a try!!
