| - 12/2016 My previous update knocked off a star for being out of dairy free milks on a frequent basis, and lack of consistency in their mochas. I'm happy to say they've been doing much better on both fronts because over the last few months, I have enjoyed my mochas immensely. So happy about this!! They do occasionally run out of Almond milk, which is understandable since it is homemade, but I've had no issues with not having a back up option.
I have been coming here since they opened, and for years before when they owned The Phoenix next door. I love the Root. It is a haven for vegans (and vegetarians, and omnivores for that matter)! All of the food is delicious, but I particularly love the Hoffman's Bicycle Pizza. The dough is handmade fresh daily. All the ingredients used are fresh, and most are organic and local. Coffees and teas are fair trade, and delicious. Their chocolate syrup is homemade and vegan, as is their almond milk. I love their Iced Almond Milk Mocha. The atmosphere is very chill, and the whole place is one beautiful work of art. I highly recommend stopping by any time of day.
Previous update, issues seem to be resolved: Update: As a vegetarian cafe, I feel they of all places, would be sensitive to those who do not drink dairy. However, they are consistently out of dairy free milks. I love this place, I do, but I finally had to knock off a star for this. The quality of the drinks has also dropped over the years. I know this is an issue of consistency as there are some people who make my mocha perfect every time, and then others when the baristas forget the toddy, or get the ratios wrong. I find myself torn as this is by far the best coffee shop nearby, and I find myself craving their mocha when I am not in Cleveland, however, it is so hit or miss these days. Hopefully I can submit another update in the future that these issues have been resolved, but for now...down a star.
