“ We LOVE Roots Cafe. This is my son's favorite place to go on a breakfast date together. Their lavender latte is SO good. The atmosphere is perfect for playing a board game, reading your devotional/Bible, or for catching up with friends or family. The staff is also incredible! I always leave so encouraged by their kindness. I have also scheduled meetings with people at Roots-most of them are struggling in various seasons of life. Roots Cafe generously offers a variety of books and Bibles for free (1 per person) or via honor system (borrow & return). I am able to meet with people there and they can leave with their first very own Bible or with a book to read for encouragement. I LOVE Roots and I am grateful for all that it has to offer for me, my friends, and my family! ”

“ First time here. Have been driving by many time and never had the chance to stop. My daughter and I had a beautiful time. The food and the service were amazing. Absolutely love the atmosphere. It was busy and rightfully so. I can see why. If you have a chance definitely check it out. ”
“ All offerings are gluten free which is so appreciated. We grabbed breakfast a few times while hanging around Portland and really enjoyed what they created. Loved that their baked goods weren't insanely sweet! They were busy the three times we went, but service didn't suffer. ”
“ Organic coffee, gluten free baked goods, real ingredients...just a few of the things I love about Roots Cafe. Always served by a smiling employee in an atmosphere that says come, enjoy, stay awhile. Whether I want a cozy spot inside to sip a warm latte while enjoying a freshly made frittata, or to enjoy an iced coffee and strawberry fields salad outside during the warmer months, or to just grab a smoothie or gluten free dessert for the road, Roots delivers. Being able to peruse their free library or local handmade gifts for sale while I wait for my order is always a highlight. A true bright spot in the Westbrook community. ”
