    Trying something new for my morning coffee before work! Support locals
    Thuy W.

    First time here, ask the young lady what would she recommended to add to my cup of java. Told her I like lavender and some strawberry cold form. And they deliver! Even had a message love on top, such a sweet and cute touch! Parking is located in the back and side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was super cozy and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They decorated and even sell other goodies. Like candles, hats, tshirts and sweets. They had many theme drinks also. The drink is amazing! I will definitely be back for sure. Love finding hidden gems like this locally and to support local businesses. While you are waiting feel free to check out all the goodies they have or just sit back, relax while the drink is getting made. Thank you for my lovely drink!

    Bucket of coffee (brown sugar oat milk latte); picture taken in my kitchen, because I forgot to get a picture there.

    If you've ever wanted a bucket of coffee, you've come to the right place! As a parent who can never get enough coffee, this is place is my dream. The brown sugar oat milk latte I had is very smooth. And my kids and I had a muffin big enough to share between the three of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is ample space inside for working, studying, or socializing, and there is some cute seating outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I believe this place is also pet-friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Local Roots is off the beaten path/a few blocks away from Main Street, and there is plenty of parking in the back. Definitely worth a stop on your next trip to Kernersville!

    Red velvet latte
    Brooke P.

    We've been visiting Kernersville more and more lately so I'm trying to find all the coffee shops! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This time I tried Local Roots and it's such a cute spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's in a little cottage right up the road from the downtown area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is parking in the back which is nice and the decor inside is fitting for the space and decorated seasonally.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the red velvet latte off of their seasonal menu and it was good, not great. I definitely think I want to try something different next time, but I will be back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thee cutest little coffee shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of places to sit, reflect or knock out some work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good variety of coffee drinks. I picked the cinnamon bun latta and an apple turnover. Both were perfect, full of flavor and the turnover was super crusty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect breakfast outside on the porch in the morning sunshine[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Locally made candle selection

    An adorable local coffee shop. They have a $2 off special Monday- Friday from 1-3! The barista was incredibly friendly and recommended the coco toffee cold brew. The drink was delicious.

    Great selection of drinks (coffee, refreshers, smoothies)! They have a fridge filled with goodies, bites, & other drinks as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooms are kinda chopped up, has a children's playroom in the very back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is a slight hassle but worth it!

    Our workspace for a few hours!

    My daughter and I both work remotely. Her company had a big event and she needed fast, reliable internet ASAP. We checked with Yelp and Local Roots popped up! I ordered the Chai Tea and she ordered some fancy coffee! Sine I am not a coffee drinker I have to take her word that her drink was AMAZING! My Chai Tea was excellent! Lots of Chai spices blended perfectly. After adding a kiss of honey, my drink was glorious to the last drop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in the front room with two other ladies. One melted into a chair and wrapped herself in a blanket while she read her book. The other typing away on her computer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Several people with dogs came in while we worked. You could tell they were regulars by their reception. The seats outside were kept full the entire time we worked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You have to be doing something right to be that continually busy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you are in the area, treat yourself to some great drinks and a relaxing atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is plenty of parking off the street in the back so plan to stay a while! Most Sincerely!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is the cutest small town coffee shop- it feels almost fictional![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that they're dog friendly, and saw several cute pups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffees were fantastic, and the baristas were super friendly and kind! There are several gluten free and healthy food options, like protein bars, drinks, etc. They also have quiche, cinnamon rolls, etc., as shown in the photos. I didn't try any this time, but def will next time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This would be the perfect spot to settle down and get work done in one of their many cute rooms. Free WiFi, too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking situation isn't my favorite, but it's not awful- You can enter on either side of the building- parking is in the back. I recommend entering on the right of the building because it's easier to get through to the back that way.

    Strawberry Açaí
    Abigail E.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are many rooms to study or read and it is pretty quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have tried both the iced strawberry pancake latte and cookies and cream frappe and they are amazing! I have also tried the strawberry açaí refresher and it was made with edible glitter!!! Very friendly employees!

    Order on the app for easy pickup- best seller hot oatmeal cookie latte!
    Karen S.

    Great staff,super adorable shop and great coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and nice, certainly my absolute favorite go-to spot as a local. I've had many of their different coffee drinks and every single cup of coffee hits the spot. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite because I've enjoyed them all. If you are having a hard time choosing they also offer coffee flights which look beautiful and seem to be very popular to share with a friend. Besides drinks local roots also sells bagged coffee from local roasters, jewelry and crafts from local artists and wonderful neighbor hood pastries to go with your coffee- I'm absolutely addicted to the Bee Healthy bars at the counter- I buy them 2 at a time. So for a wonderful coffee experience skip the Bucks and go local at Local Roots.

    Still highly recommend this wonderful place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed the coconut cream cold brew on their front porch, great relaxing way to start the day with a tasty coffee![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    So many choices
    Donna S.

    Awesome little local spot! Many choices! The inside is cozy with many little places to sit with friends or just enjoy the peace! I ordered a basic iced mocha latte because I couldn't decide! I will have to try the raspberry chai latte next time. That one has peaked my interest!! I recommend this place. Shop local!!

    Fun place to drink coffee!

You do make a deposit if you are doing a tea service. I decided to go here for a Mother's Day tea lunch. We had the full tea service and my son had a child's tea. The interior is cute and I love how all of the China is mismatched. They have a large selection of teas and I chose a rose flavor. It was excellent with just the right amount of floral notes. My son had the birthday cake which had a nice vanilla aroma. Everyone gets their own pot, which is neat. They change their menu every month, but I think my favorites for the May tea, were the tomato sandwich and vanilla scone. The table was set with individual jars of clotted cream. We ordered cucumber sandwiches which were beautiful and tasty. Our server was very sweet. We plan to come back, especially for mom related celebrations.
