This would have been a 5 star, I really enjoyed the food.....BUT I'm not sure I would come back…read morehere unless the restaurant changed its policy. As soon as I walked into this place, a homeless and/or strung out man was sitting next to the door on the chairs. He was yelling and causing a scene. The staff didn't really do anything about it, they just pretended he wasn't there. As a paying customer this was unacceptable. If I would have had my family there it would have been a bigger deal because you never know how those type of people are going to behave. The food itself was very good, I had the big bad scramble and a biscuit with it. The scramble was very filling with great flavor, the only thing I would recommend is less onions, there were a lot in there. The biscuit was large and you can tell it was homemade. Very mixed feelings about this place, I would think twice about coming here if I was with my family. If they really cared about the paying customer they would make it a safer place to dine.

Unwilling to hire more front of house staff so they can partake in the tip pool. Federally illegal and unethical. When confronted about it they will lie and say their mother is the owner. Well they still manage the restaurant if that's the case and managers cannot partake in the tip pool either. Making salary or making money from sales revenue but still messing with their employee's money. Shame on them. No wonder their plan for a third restaurant was shot down and their 2nd restaurant shut down. If you do decide to eat here tip the actual servers in CASH. Their credit card tips are split and management gets to put their hands in it. Truly disgusting and despicable.

What a find! The Root Cafe is the kind of place that makes me grateful for Yelp reviewers. The…read morerestaurant is committed to sourcing its ingredients locally and is known to be a 'farm to table' restaurant. Traveling through a Little Rock for work, my group decided to grab breakfast before flying out. We came in due to the raving reviews from a multitude of online sources and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Root Benny and the blueberry muffin based on the host's recommendation. First cut into my poached egg and I already knew it was the start of a culinary journey. Absolute flavor and texture perfection. The seasonal greens (steamed kale?) paired so well with the greens and the crostini was the perfect vehicle for yolk dipping. The blueberry muffin was small but delicious--exactly what you should expect from a muffin. I wish I would've remembered to order the cookies to go. I suppose I'll have to come back.

They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu that features a fresh and healthier take on classic southern food. I really enjoyed the spicy tofu bowl with grits and collared greens, their homemade cornbread, and strawberry shortcake for dessert! I also liked their arancini which was on the specials menu. Their classic lemonade was delicious, and the perfect complement to my meal. I'd highly recommend The Root Cafe for a memorable meal!

The Bloody Marys are absolutely perfect, and the pancakes are perfection every single time.

I have driven past it for years and today I decided to take my chances. I'll not lie, I was afraid it would be your typical greasy spoon north of the river breakfast joint. Not at all! The restaurant is very clean, and cozy. My husband and I sat down and enjoyed our fresh cup of coffee. He went with the Ultimate Omelet and was very happy with his choice. Not greasy. So many restaurants serve grease coated omelets, not Sunny Side Up Cafe. I ordered a Pecan & Blueberry pancake. It was delish, I did not use any syrup. I also ordered the Breakfast Casserole which was very flavorful with the bacon and cheese. Yes, we will be back.

It is in walking distance from local hotels...not sure if there's a parking lot nearby. Ambiance: housed in an older building, there are old-timey posters, album covers & a tv on the walls. The building itself, adds to its neighborhood hole-in-the-wall cool vibe. Restaurant is spacey with a counter or seat yourself tables of differing sizes near a lot of windows to people watch. Service: our server was friendly & rendered just the right amount of time and attention. Food: so delicious! Had the "Big Breakfast" but gave the pancake to the BF. I'm from the South & the sausage gravy is the real deal okaaay? Cheese grits were perfect & I could only eat about 1/3. Bf got the "cakes & eggs". His eggs were cooked perfectly (over easy) with crispy bacon. Menu has a great variety: Benedicts; breakfast sandwiches & tacos; French toast, chicken & waffles...something for everyone. Reasonable prices & the food came out just as I finished my 1st cup of coffee. Will definitely be back to try the yummy sounding lunch options!

I wanted to like this place…read more I saw a review of the place on THV11 and thought the food looked incredibly good. Came here expecting food that would've blown me away but was utterly shocked by the experience. Was sat around 3 PM expecting to be out by 4 at the latest. We tried to order a burger but were told there was a "brunch only" menu that you could order from at 3 PM. Why?? After 30 minutes of waiting the server came by to apologize for the wait and promise us a discount on our meal then continued to talk to customers and overall slack off on their job. They even offered to give us to-go containers for our food?? We watched (who we assume to be the manager) stack cups and wipe off tables while the server counted their tips behind the counter. Poor guy was doing absolutely everything the server should've been doing in the first place. While the wait got longer and longer the waiter seemed nervous to even come around our table. No wonder. The first entree to come out came 45 minutes after we ordered at 3:20, being told the rest would come out soon after. We got our last entree at 4:25. It seemed like everyone was waiting insane amounts of time. The food was okay. Once we paid for the meal, there was no discount. The waiter didn't even bring it up. I hate to say this because the owner was trying so hard to keep his restaurant in check, but nothing was worth going unless you had too much free time and wanted to spend it sitting in a somewhat entertaining restaurant. I really expected better from this place. Everyone was friendly, but there wasn't any real effort put into it. Wouldn't come back again.

I love the decor, I love the atmosphere, and I have my solid order that I make that is always magnificent every time I order it: the breakfast tacos with chorizo, side of fresh fruit, and lavender vanilla latte. Perfection. The staff is always kind. They call out your name when your order is ready. Sometimes the place can be full (especially on weekends) and sometimes their beautiful, large 4-6 seating room tables have only 1-2 people sitting at it (I sometimes wonder if there were another way they could arrange seating to be a bit better for more folks to fit in the place, but I digress). If you are lucky and find a table, by all means, grab one. Take a picture of the table. Take a picture of your coffee. Take a picture of everything. The whole place looks like an Instagram backdrop. I dream of that breakfast taco with chorizo. It's out of the way for my commute to work, but I don't care. I cherish it. It's a breakfast splurge if I have time to stop on the way in, and it's a worthwhile lunch visit too. Also been a great meeting spot for work, with room to talk, eat and work. Go check it out if you haven't already.

I had a pear honey spritzer and it was unlike anything I'd ever had in the best of ways. The second day we went, I ordered a cafe con leche. I was so freaking excited and I needed a little pep in my step. I told the cashier how excited I was to drink sweetened condensed milk. I hadn't had a Cuban drink in a while and I was P U M P E D. She confirmed I didn't want DOUBLE Sweetened condensed--no maam, just the way it comes. The receipt says the same. The drink... had milk in it. Regular old milk. I was so disappointed. But not so much I wanted to wait another 20 mins for a drink. I literally threw half of the expensive thing away. I also ordered a breakfast bagel and that guy was tasty. But he didn't make up for the depressing coffee drink. And so, you get my solid 3 stars.
