"Roots has great coffee, great espresso, great food and great pastries, but more than all of that greatness it is a place that has dedicated itself to being a sanctuary for many different kinds of people, and for promoting arts, help and communal gatherings: practices which I have found to slowly be dwindling away in NYC over the years. The owner Trish is extremely open and receptive to ideas and is constantly bringing a light of expression and acceptance and color to this cafe, and there is an ongoing calendar of open mics and discussions and events that my heart in the midst of so much gentrification had been yearning for. As soon as you walk into this space you no longer feel like a drifter but like a person who has been welcomed into a large inclusive mealtime and I have found it easy here for my inner muse to find her space and flow with any work or writing projects that I had come with my laptop to complete."

I absolutely love Roots burrito and would highly recommend it. My only downside is that they close a bit early, which is a shame because I enjoy dining there so much.

I love this place and the people here! The espresso is so delicious and interesting. Not your basic sort of café—always doing amazing and engaging things in the community.

I arrived at this restaurant at 3:06pm to place an order, but was informed that "the kitchen is closed" as the cafe closes at 4:00pm. Who closes their kitchen one hour before closing time? I was disappointed and will not be returning as it felt like a waste of my time traveling here.

Roots is more than just a coffee shop it's a community. Not only are their food and drinks delicious, this is a place you can come to connect with people and feel at home. The vibe is laid back and welcoming, and the staff are so friendly and kind. Roots also does so much to give back to the community, including collecting coats, school supplies and food for their neighbors of Brooklyn. I highly recommend visiting (or making it your regular spot! .
