I love Fresh Roots. My favorite is the Italian melt, the pesto sauce is so good. The buffalo melt is also great with a cilantro lime slaw. I think the cost for what you get is a great value. Especially compared to traditional sandwich shops. They are often busy as they are very popular (with good reason). Sitting out on the patio enjoying a sandwich and a book is always enjoyable. read more

On a beautiful fall, winter, or spring day, you can dine outside & table umbrellas are there if you need shade. You don't have to wait long for service or food. The food is good, and the staff is friendly. If you like chicken salad, theirs is good. They give you a choice of several different kinds of bread if you want a sandwich. Haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but everything I've eaten has been good. My sister and I enjoy meeting there for lunch and "catching up" with each other. read more

Freshroots Kitchen is such a great find. The space is clean, bright and open, with plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your meal outside. The cashier was friendly and welcoming which made a great first impression. My sandwich was fresh, flavorful and delicious. You can tell they use quality and fresh ingredients. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. read more

I've always had pretty good food here but they seemed to have gone down a bit. My salad was missing some selected ingredients and my croutons were inedible bc they were so stale. Also, the Polynesian vinaigrette was just ok. Would've like a traditional type vinaigrette option. Maybe they had an off day because they're typically pretty fresh and good. I'll update my review next time I go since they're a small business and I want them to make it. read more

Fresh Roots Kitchen is amazing! The Asian Peanut Cabbage Crunch Salad is HUGE and hands-down my absolute favorite. It's fresh, crunchy, and so satisfying, but the real star is the peanut dressing--it's the best I've ever had. Perfect balance of flavor and richness, and they don't skimp at all. This is my go-to order every time, and it never disappoints! read more

We got there this morning at 11:45 parking space we got lucky with one inside heaven had my favorite melt sandwich. My wife had her favorite melt sandwich and it was like it was the last time we were there. It's a great spot. You have to try it. Go get a melt they have some unique melts and some wonderful salads and the salad are prepared right there. They even made coffee some kind of latte for you if that's what you gotta have. read more

10% off if you check in here. The kitchen is located by a women's clinic and pharmacy and medical center, not the kind of plaza I was expecting it to be located at. Seems like an odd choice for a restaurant location, rent must be cheaper here, then again the workers and patients are all potential customers too. You order at the counter, name will be called from the counter to pick up your tray of food. Menu board is on the wall. More folks get carry out here, maybe perhaps due to the unconventional and not so cool location. People watching here makes you feel creepy staring at folks going to the women's clinic or the pharmacy to grab a Rx. It's not that packed inside the dining area, but they do have outside seating it seems. They have a build your own melt sandwich, that's a good idea. We ordered an latte with almond milk (no oat milk here), Asian peanut cabbage crunch salad, buffalo club with bacon on the side and a turkey Rueben sandwich, a bottle of Simply Lemonade and two bags of Miss Vickie's jalapeño kettle chips. $58.76 before they credited me $12.35 for the second buffalo club sandwich I didn't order. Be sure to check on your order if it runs long. This poor older man was getting quite agitated and told the staff he's been waiting for his carry out sandwich for 40 minutes. They found his order on a rack out front in a bag ready for him. Check your order is correct. I had ordered one buffalo chicken sandwich, but was charged for two of them. Napkins and flatware are by the fountain machine, self-serve here. The Asian peanut cabbage crunch salad looks okay, but it's quite boring. The dressing tastes like watered over the salad with a hint of peanut butter. It's quite lack luster for me. The buffalo chicken club with bacon on the side is a full sized breast of chicken, had in my mind that it would be deli meal, the real breast is better, but it was underwhelming for me. The turkey Rueben sandwich is their better menu item and the best out of our food order. The Rye is slightly toasted, but still soft as you bite into it. The kraut is plentiful as is the turkey deli meat stack. A bit more of the dressing would make it better for sure. It's still a good sandwich. read more

Amazing coffee and food and prices! Can't beat it. Been here a few times now and it's one of my favorite places to visit in Tallahassee when I'm here read more

A small cup of lucky goat coffee is $4 with no refills. What a rip off for a local breakfast place. More expensive than at lucky goat

Just tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint at all. I had the black and blue salad and it was delicious. My friend had a chicken salad salad and she also really enjoyed hers. This place was pretty busy on a Wednesday afternoon at noon, but the line moved swiftly and the food was ready in an appropriate amount of time. You order at the counter and your name is called to pick it up once it's ready. They did have a team member coming around for cleanup which was appreciated. I will definitely be back really soon to try something else. The location is kind of off the beaten path. But it's definitely well known considering how crowded it was. I consider the ambience to be fast casual. Pro-tip: check in for 10% off your order. read more

Delicious food but pricey. Coffee was watered down. Great place to meet up with friends. Staff was really nice.

Such a peaceful, quiet spot perfect for breakfast. Coffee is good and food is simple yet delicious. I enjoyed the ambiance and mostly the quietness in the morning. Service is quick and easy. I was so full after eating my avocado melt sandwich, which kept me good to start the day. read more

So mid. The deli meat was horrible and not fresh , the club was soggy and a mix of terrible flavors in my mouth. The h&c was quoted from my bf as "I felt like I was eating a lunchables for adults not worth 9$". I could of made a better sandwich at home, serious regret coming here. Do yourself a a favor and don't come here. read more

Got a drizzle of balsamic just for a little tang. The staff were very accommodating to my crazy craving it was wonderful!! Definitely want to come back to try other items.

The food was delicious! The service was excellent- the waitress was very polite, and friendly!

Went in a day when it was packed and my sandwich was ready in 10 or so minutes. I wouldn't recommend lunch here if you're worried about running behind or needing to get back to work asap. I got the Italian melt and it was SO SO delicious. Everything was cooked well. I thought the place was quaint. Kind of an odd location but the food makes it worth it. Tad bit pricey for the sandwich I got but id say worth it. read more

Great food but no decaf coffee! Why not? Will not go there for breakfast anymore! Slow service too but worthy it

This place can be fun for lunch. There are some creative melts to try and a simple grilled cheese for the picky eater. First visit I tried the Newton which has figs, pecans, honey, melted Brie and provolone. For a sandwich with no meat it was pretty good to this happy meat eater. The picky eater enjoyed the grilled cheese but found the tomato bisque too spicy for her taste. That was ok because I helped her out with it as well. Not sure it meets the definition of a bisque because it was so thick but I would buy cups of it to take home for tomato sauce. Delicious and spicy. Add some ground beef and/or Italian sausage and pour it over spaghetti. It reminded me of the tomato bisque at Blue Tavern. Breakfast on the second visit was a different matter. I don't think omelettes are their forte and my wife's bacon and egg sandwich didn't look much better since she eschewed the cheese that normally would hold everything together. I might give them a go with their scrambles if I was here at breakfast time again but would prefer to just concentrate on lunch here. The space is comfortable for one big room. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Service was ok. Judging by our lunchtime visit it can get pretty busy during lunch. They seem to do a brisk business in both dine in and takeout orders. read more

So why am I giving this restaurant a TWO star Rating? Whoever owns this establishment needs to change the policy so that if you come in at any time you can buy sandwich having to wait till 11 AM to buy a sandwich is stupid. I wanted to buy a sandwich but I had to buy an omelette why be open if you're not gonna sell people what they want when they want it makes no business sense to me? I wanted hot sauce they had no hot sauce I had to spend $.25 to my buffalo sauce. Service was slow nobody was ahead of us it should not take that long to get a latte made. Food was OK. I wouldhave like to have cooked a little longer. I am just amazed at this place that so many stars on yelp. The counter person never Greeted I saw asked if we ever been here before Or explain anything about the menu. Just the fact that you could not order a sandwich before 11 am. I don't think I'll ever come back I rather go to The Bada Bean for breakfast. read more

What a nice little find in one of the oddest locations I've seen for a restaurant. The locations could never be seen from the street. As a matter of fact, I came across it when I went to get some lab work done and then forgot about it because ....well....I don't get lab work done too often. I finally bookmarked it on Yelp and made a visit. It is a small cafe style restaurant that has both indoor and outdoor seating. It would also be appropriate for someone who needed a quiet place to do some computer work and have a snack and a cup of coffee. It wasn't busy but we had to wait about 15 minutes for our order. After tasting how delicious it was, the wait was completely worth it. I ordered the salmon benefit with scrambled eggs instead of poached eggs. It was the freshest I've ever tasted. The hollandaise sauce tasted homemade and it was a perfect compliment to my dish. All of the menu items look very appetizing and they are interesting. The menu does not consist of basic and common combinations that can be found at any given restaurant. This place has my vote and I cannot wait to return. read more

Visited this restaurant for the first time a month or so ago (for breakfast). Wanted to return to sample the lunch items. Met a friend there for lunch; she ordered a chicken salad sandwich, which she said was tasty. I ordered the black and blue caesar salad. The wait was long (as was the case when I ordered breakfast). My friend received her sandwich and I was still waiting on my salad. We dined inside, but I didn't hear my name called. We both finally noticed a salad on the counter, but also realized that customers were talking over the salad, items were given to customers by the staff, all the while reaching over this lone salad that was sitting out in the open. I finally went to the front to ask about my order and the young lady said that the salad on the counter was mine - which I didn't want at this time because of the traffic that had been happening over the salad! When I asked for another salad (and explained why I didn't want that one, all three young ladies who were at the front looked at me as if I had a third eye)! Who wants food that other people have been talking and reaching over? Perhaps others don't mind random customers reaching over their food items, but I certainly do - and I am shocked that someone in the food industry doesn't understand this. They brought a salad to my table, but at that point, I realized that I didn't even know if they fixed me a fresh salad - or if they simply brought me back the exact same salad. Though I was looking forward to patronizing this establishment, this was my last visit. read more

Such good food, such great prices! Great vibe as well. I had the black and blue salad, and it was huge, delicious, and obviously well-crafted. 10/10, will return. read more

Placed my order at 11:58.... Didn't get my simple order of two sandwiches until ....12:31z Came on a Thursday for lunch. This shouldn't take this long for two sandwiches. They are prioritizing to go orders instead. Came here because the food photos looked good, from out of town and will not be returning despite how the food tastes. They don't have capacity/capabilities for a lunch rush IMO. Just received my lunch at 12:31 which I inhaled bc I as starving. Food was good but not worth a 45 min wait for two sandwiches during lunch on limited time. read more

I came here for lunch to catch up with a few friends. I got the Asian Cabbage salad because it had peanut dressing, and other fixings I like. To add chicken was only a $1 more, so I went for it. The salad was a nice hefty portion, and cost me just over $8. I look forward to coming back and trying their other healthy, and not so healthy selections. read more

So we walked into this place and I was a little concerned. There were no people in it but the menu looked good so we decided to stay. I'm glad I did!! Food: My wife ordered a salad with some kind of peanut dressing and added blackened chicken. I thought it was a good salad. My wife thought it was a touch too much dressing but still very good. I ordered the turkey melt. That thing was awesome. Perfectly toasted and filled with the right ratio of meat to bread to veggies. Also got the tomato soup and that was also tasty, had a little spice to it. Service/decor: kinda ehh here but really not a biggie. It's a walk up and order joint. read more

Absolutely lovely. Exemplary hospitality. Very reasonably priced. Lots of wonderfully thoughtful vegan-iffy ish choices; cold and hot pressed sammiches and brilliantly orchestrated salads. Lettuce rejoice!! There's omni carnivore choices as well including this super juicy turkey club with really nice thick cut bacon. Oh my. Special sandwich, that. Cilantro slaw stands out as particularly nice and the Gouda mac and cheese is simply divine. Something by which all future mac and cheeses shall be compared. Coffee's so nice were they local, they'd definitely make the list of coffee rounds. And look at that, smooth and creamy cold brew coffee without the big bucks prices. Delicious. It's a small sort of bistro with breakfast and lunch things in a pleasant space getting everything right with their food. My only regret is not finding you sooner. read more

Have always had intentions on trying this oace but never got around to until today. Because I've been on a more health conscious diet I have been trying to visit places with healthy food this was a perfect option. I decided on the Asian salad and although I've never been big on salads this one was fantastic. I also had the gouda mac and cheese and I was very impressed with it. This is a nice little hidden lunch spot many people don't even know about it. I will definitely be back again to try some of their sandwiches. Biggest plus to me is you the huge salad I had that I couldn't even finish that was only 7 bucks. read more

Was running errands and ran in for a quick lunch. Great food! The sandwich I had was so tasty! Will definitely go again.

I've always enjoyed this restaurant on Riggins Road near Mahan. There's such a wide variety of unique and delicious sandwiches and salads. But it's gotten even better since the last time I was here. There was always a little bit of seating on the covered porch. But now there is also a large area of umbrella tables, and on a perfect day like today, it was wonderful to eat outside. Friendly service, too. read more

I've been here twice and each time I wanted to like it but it's just not good (to me). I've tried the caprese melt it was kind of gross the pesto was good but the balsamic dressing is disgusting it's super sweet and ruins the whole sandwich also my sandwich had like 12 tomato slices on it which just felt silly. I've also had the chicken salad sandwich that was alright but not something I'd get again because it's very bland. The "street corn" is an absolute NO. The Mac and cheese is pretty good. And the peach tea they have is nice and refreshing. My mom got the chicken-salad salad and that was pretty good, the dressing that comes on it is delicious. I hope this review doesn't feel to harsh I'd just rather go anywhere else read more

I wish I could give this place a better review. The wait time was ridiculous and the service wasn't great. Food was ok but they didn't get our orders correct. Coworker got a salad and there wasn't dressing on it (or so light she couldn't taste). She asked for dressing and the worker told her it was already on there...she had dressed it herself. Ok so she kept trying to eat it. Finally went back to counter to ask for a little more dressing to which they said fine but that will be 50 cents. Really?? Other coworker ordered tomato soup which never came. When we went to ask they said, you didn't order. Ummm...yes we did. So we ordered "again" and had to pay again. Just really bad customer service. Can't recommend. read more

Came back yesterday after almost two years from my first experience. I had an appointment nearby and had the family with me, so in we went. The decor seems less sterile. There were some artwork items on the wall that was maybe there on my prior visit, but it felt different. The place also had people there, so it didn't seem to empty and had a little more of a normal noise tone than my prior visit. We ordered the Club and the Cuban and these were very different than the sandwich I had long ago. These were packed full of meat and both had a fantastic flavor. Staff continues to be nice and helpful, which is also a good sign. With the prices being so reasonable, and the great sandwiches, we will be coming back to this establishment again soon. read more

Wow! What a great find. In from out of town and found this place on Yelp. I was in the mood for a sandwich. They have so many interesting sandwiches choices I had trouble deciding. I picked the Hawaiian. Black Forest Ham, applewood bacon, pineapple, melted sharp cheddar on sourdough bread. It was wonderful! I got the Tomato Bisque to go with it and it was good. A little spicy (I'm a wimp on "spicy" so don't let me fool you. Most people would not think it's spicy) All and all a great lunch before I head back to the airport. Sad that I will be be able to try the other 4 sandwiches choices I liked. read more
