How did a small down-to-earth café with mismatched chairs located in the SoMa neighborhood become so popular? It has to be their food, which is as fresh as it can be, locally sourced, and bursting with juices and flavors. The Root serves comfort food with some exotic dishes like Vietnamese Banh mi sandwiches, and they cook to perfection.

They work with local farmers and food growers, as they firmly believe quality food starts with quality ingredients and the people who grow them. If something is not in season, you probably won’t find it on the menu. Drinks are mostly non-alcoholic, and they are natural and fresh. They do offer a few local craft beers.
