Freshroots Kitchen

I love this place! I get the Hooper every time and it’s delicious. They have great coffees too — lots of flavors to add to lattes! Only thing I would change is to add the option to leave a tip with cards. So many people don’t carry cash anymore and employees would probably take home a lot more for their work if we could leave card tips.

I checked this place out and liked it before pandemic, but it’s rather far from where I live so I haven’t ventured out until today. I’m so glad it’s still here, and the price hasn’t changed too much. The big gripe I have about Tallahassee restaurants is that things are not cheap (easily can send $15 for lunch anywhere) AND bad. So many places serve below mediocre food (that tastes like heated up frozen food or something made by someone who doesn’t know how to cook..or too gooey, too sweet, etc.) at over $10-12 range. This place is a simple sandwich and salad place, and they have them at $8-9 range. I’ve tried “Jammy” before pandemic and today I tried the bacon egg cheese sandwich with added avocado. It was simple but very good- perfectly griddled bread with good ingredients, not overly greasy or salty. Also they have pretty decent coffee! (Another thing missing from so many restaurants in town) They use Lucky goat beans and have an espresso machine. It seems they are understaffed, but they’re friendly. I wish it was closer or open on the weekend! I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a simple, good lunch and good coffee.

The last time I went to Freshroots Kitchen was probably like 8-10 years ago. And then I accidentally never went back, mainly because that's not my normal side of town. However, my 5-year-old requested a cute cafe for breakfast on our day together during spring break, so we ended up here, and I absolutely LOVED it. She got a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich, and she loved it, but it was so big she could only eat half. (We saved the other half and she had it for lunch.) I got the avocado, egg & cheese with the bacon jam, and WOW. Literally, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The bacon jam was phenomenal, with just a tiny kick to it. My only wish was for more avocado (it was just one small slice per half), and that they would have mashed & spread it out (which I did end up doing myself). Still incredible though. I will make sure not to wait so long to go back again in the future!

Cute restaurant in a surprising location. In the end of the plaza that is filled with medical offices, there is The Freshroots Kitchen. They offer creative sandwiches and salads, coffee, and sides. Seating indoors and outdoors. After ordering our food at the counter, we choose to sit under the shade trees at the tables in the grass. (Watch out for ants in a few spots). The food was ready in about 10 minutes. The Jammin' sandwhich with coleslaw. The Sweetie sandwhich with Gouda mac and cheese. The sweetie was definitely sweet almost like a dessert. The Jammin' was delicious with bacon jam, cheese, and jalapeños (plus more!). If you are thinking about stopping here at the unassuming restaurant, I highly recommend that you do. The service was friendly and the food is amazing.
