Amazing cafe! Super cute, huge selection of coffee, tea, and other drinks, all homemade down to the syrups! They've even got nitro cold brew on tap. I had only had it once before and couldn't remember what it was like, so Emily the barista was kind enough to give me a taster of both nitro and regular!
I also appreciated the selection of vegan and gluten free baked goods (about half of the baked goods on offer). I got the chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious!
I worked on my laptop here for a couple hours which was great. Free wifi, lots of outlets, and a variety of tables. Most ppl seemed to be regulars who got their stuff to go, so there were always plenty of places to sit.
This will be the first of many visits for sure. It would be more if I lived closer!
P.S. love that it's woman owned and operated 😍
Very tasty coffee - I had an Ethiopian pour over. :) Bench seating not the most comfortable in the world. (There are just two actual tables, as I recall.) Nice atmosphere.
Roots is an absolutely phenomenal coffee shop. I've reviewed hundreds of places, and this place is just about perfect. I had a London Fog latte and an oatmeal cookie and could not have possibly been more pleased. I can't wait to come back and try everything on the menu.
Opened in July, Roots Coffee & Tea brings a relaxing neighborhood feel to Hertel Ave in North Buffalo. It's conveniently located across from the Lexington Co-op. They serve coffee, specialty expresso drinks, loose leaf teas, kombucha, and baked goods. Another great addition to Hertel Ave!
Best real coffee shop in buffalo area. The black coffee options like pour overs are all great and rich. The milk options are really good too because the espresso is super good. I appreciate the healthy sweetener alternative such as real maple syrup. Cozy seating. Recommend all the way!!
My favorite of the coffee shops I visited while I was in Buffalo. This is a newer establishment but they definitely know what they're doing.
The place is rather small but has ample seating regardless.
The environment was very nice and calming.
There was street parking available. It was located in a nice area.
They offer a small number of pastries which I like.
I only encountered one employee during my visits and they did an excellent job. They were very helpful and even made me a list of things to check out during my stay in Buffalo and they were actually pretty cool places too.
They served Overwinter coffee which is a very good roaster based out of Buffalo.
I had brewed coffee both times. One was the Ethiopian done by pour over. The other was The Easy Drinker done by drip. Both were 10/10.
I highly recommend this place to those looking for a more modern, coffee-forward take on coffee.
Usually great here. My most recent visit the staff was rude and my order was wrong though. I still love the place but I am disappointed this time.
