the root cafe

One of my all time favorite spots to eat in Cleveland. Everything I’ve tried at The Root Café has been fresh and amazing. They offer loads of healthy vegan and gluten-free options too, which always make me happy and grateful to see. That combo isn’t always easy to find when dining out. Highly recommend the tofu scramble bowl and the sweet potatoes homefries.

Love root cage for the most part. Have gone here for over 10 years. It has its up and downs. Sometimes you go and u wait an insane amount of time for a sub par coffee. Sometimes you go and wait an okay amount of time for a good coffee. Inconsistent for sure. Today though really got to me. I ordered two gluten free wraps from them. I thought, if anybody is gonna do gluten free right.. it’ll be a healthy place like root cafe. Wrong. My wraps weren’t wrapped… they were folded in half like quesadillas and everything fell out cuz these aren’t the type of sandwiches that can be made like that. The gluten free wrap was also terrible! Half soggy and half rock hard… crunchy as a chip. Not an enjoyable experience at all. I thought I could be gluten free and still enjoy the sandwiches I got there for years.. but I guess not. I suggest you guys do better in that department. It’s not fair how people with gluten intolerance often have to pay more for food that is often smaller in portion and not comparable taste or texture wise. There’s lots of good gluten free wrap options out there. Do better root cafe.

Great spot for gluten free and vegan bakery. Super difficult to find places that do both! Love the vibe too 😎☕️
