The Root is a coffee house and vegetarian cafe located in a great little business district in Lakewood. It gets fairly busy on the weekends and you can expect to be jockeying others for the 2-3 tables that are not occupied by the hipsters permanently camped out with their headphones and laptops. (Sigh). My first visit here was divine! During my second, however, the coffee was off somehow...it just had a strange taste and I just couldn't do it. My tofu burrito was passable but in the boring side...it needed done kick.
