| - I know it seems that I give every place a 5 star, but I've been horrible about actually reviewing places, so I'm starting w/ all my faves.
I adore The Root Cafe. Those adorable, sanitary, art/books/games lovin hippies!
The food: yum. I've had some chick pea salad concoction w/ feta cheese on it, & a cheese pizza. I loved the chick pea salad thing. Need to try more of their food, but have heard good things. Esp about the cookies. Now I really want a cookie.
The drinks: They have a decent beer selection, so you can take your beer snob friends there. I love their coffees & ice teas. The coffee is SO GOOD. It's never over roasted or bitter or gross. Always perfect. I went on a hot summer day once & got some weird concoction. I think it was ice tea w/ some lemonade & a shot of something in it. I forget what the shot was, & I'll update when I think of it. It was like "maytay" or something, def started w/ an "m" & they said the FDA classified it as a stimulant b/c it has caffeine or the same effect as caffeine or something like that. Anyway, it was smooth, not too tart, not too sweet, just perfect.
The ppl: The ppl who work there are absolute doll-babies. They are friendly, helpful, & patient. They are good at suggesting things, if you ask. The patrons are a mix, but again friendly. Everytime I've gone, I've met some random person there.
The atmosphere: Every month, they display artwork from 1 or 2 local artists. Obvs, the art's also for sale! They have live music there & it's just a laid back place to hang out.
I've never taken Fernie (my laptop) there, but I hear they have wifi that's easy to connect to & fast.
