    Root'd Eggs Bene
    Raha M.

    Cute café with delicious beignets and eggs bene. Emily was a very sweet and friendly server. Highly recommend!

    Roasted Brussels with balsamic vinaigrette instead of the chipotle aioli
    Sandy T.

    I first tried this place at a Halloween Yelp event back in 2025. I've always wanted to return but it's out of my way a bit. However, I knew I HAD to return because the food, the vibe, the story - everything is so great here! My favorite dish here is the salmon quinoa entree. Such a healthy, filling, and nutritious meal. Super vibrant in colors too. Another thing I love here are their brussel sprouts. The best part about them is they are ROASTED, not fried. That makes a world of difference. Instead of the creamy chipotle aioli sauce that comes on top, I opted for the balsamic vinaigrette - much better choice in my opinion! Lighter, healthier, and yummier :) I will definitely return! OH they also allow dogs on their outside patio, which is fantastic. I will say, one of the server I had when I recently visited was ok. He was a young gentleman who practically threw my food down and walked away without saying a word. Not much hospitality there.

    Atmosphere is inviting and relaxed. As soon as you walk in people are friendly and chatting with a warm cup of coffee. Our server Emily, had the bubbliest personality that contributed to our wonderful experience. The portions are plentiful and the food delicious I give this place 10 stars if I could. Highly recommended!

    Breakfast Burrito - very garlicky, not my favorite
    Camille W.

    Great breakfast spot in Cottonwood Heights. The ambiance was perfect and service great. I LOVED the Huevos Rancheros. We also ordered the breakfast burrito - which was not great. Too garlicky and the eggs were sloppy. Overall - would be back!

    This is a locally owned restaurant and it's pretty good. This restaurant opened 6 weeks before the pandemic, had to shut down during covid and is now trying to garner support again. I got the steak and frites with broccolini, the steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. The fries were well seasoned but the steak and broccolini could have used more seasoning and the beignets for dessert were ok but not great. I was hoping they would be a little more dense

    I was so excited to try Root'd Cafe. Our table tried the Brussel sprouts appetizer and they were very good. The balsamic salad was good. I loved the pistachios and goat cheese on it. I chose the steak & frites. The steak was tender and flavorful and cooked perfectly. I loved the fries with garlic aioli. The broccolini was fine but it needed more seasoning in my opinion. The beignets were decent but wish they were a little more dense. I also wish they were served with chocolate dipping sauce instead of jam but still good.

    Root'd is always a great decision whenever I go out there for dinner. The salmon and quinoa pair perfectly together and I highly recommend there fries as well. Atmosphere is welcoming and cozy.

    Sweet Beet Tacos *amazing*

    Came to this place after reviewing their menu and finding myself craving some of the items. I showed up on a weekday, around 3pm, as the only other customers in the place were leaving. I'm so glad they were open, despite obviously being slow! There was one lovely waitress, and sounded like just one cook prepping and making the food at that time. I had the prickly pear tea-lemonade, which was gorgeous and tasty, and the beet tacos. I'm not a vegetarian but they were my favorite thing I ate during my time in Utah! So good, I would (and will!) go back to try many more items on their menu!

    My friend and I were very impressed with the layout of the restaurant. They had outdoor seating and we took it knowing it is fall and we could get chilled. But we didn't mind. That is what hot tea is for. The patio we sat in had painted murals on the brick work. It was very nice. We ordered the roasted brussels sprouts to whet our appetite. We were pleasantly whetted. ;) I tell you, they put the best roast on those sprouts, they were perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and the crunch melt factor was spot on!! The portion of the appetizer was very generous but not overwhelming. I ordered the salmon with quinoa, and my bestie ordered the chicken over rice. From what I could see from our dining neighbors, the dishes at Root'd are down home, comfort food. (As they should be). Simple ingredients turned into audible happy "oh my gosh you gotta try this" comments, dancing chews in our mouths! The Salmon was perfectly cooked, the portion was very fair, with a generous helping of quinoa. The greens that were served as a complement to the meal enhanced the flavor that much more. I was served a half lemon that had been grilled to perfection. I have no problem eating a lemon peel especially when it has been grilled. The grilled lemon topped the salmon perfectly. My meal was so tasty, I ate it slow to savor all of the wonderful flavor. My bestie said the chicken was very good, not dry at all, the flavors were very savory, and the rice complemented the meal very well. She said the greens that were served with her meal also complemented the chicken very well. It also came with a roasted lemon and roasted tomatoes. She said it was very delicious. We selected the ever-famous Beignets for dessert. The were rolled thin, fried to fluffy perfection, topped with confectioners' sugar and served with raspberry sauce on the side. It was getting chilly now, the server, Emily, who was very effervescent, happy, friendly and helpful brought me a hot cup of chamomile tea. She was very nice, she spoke to everyone whom she encountered. She was very sweet and attentive. I believe a person who works hard serving a customer, deserves a generous tip. She was helpful with her co-workers and their customers. I base my tipping on those factors. She brought out a cup of hot tea. That first sip of the heated water cascaded down my throat and into my tummy and filled me with a warmth that I did not expect. It was a very soothing cup of tea. One I will make my way back to Root'd for, and a repeat of our wonderful dinner out. We plan to dine inside next time. Plus we will take our honey bunches and we plan to order completely different entrees as this time.

This location was to be an Even Steven's that we used to go to on occasion, and Dali Crepes did an amazing job with this space! It is so nice and inviting inside. I've always loved a savory crepe, so I was excited to take a look at the menu and see the options they had. That being said, the sweet crepe options looked so delicious that my husband and I contemplated splitting a sweet one in addition to what we were ordering. I was glad we decided not to because my goodness! These crepes came out and they were HUGE! It really justifies the cost of the crepe because I mean it; they were massive. Here's what we ordered: * I'm Vegetarian crepe: I can't begin to explain how obsessed I am with this crepe. The combination of flavors is so delicious. I love pesto in a breakfast item and that in combination with the avocado mayo is so good. The crepe is not heavy at all and every bite is refreshing with the greens, cherry tomatoes, and feta. * Breakfast in Montenegro crepe: My husband loves this crepe and gets it every time. He said the prosciutto and fresh mozzarella really makes it and he loves a perfectly cooked runny egg yolk. * Mango smoothie: I ordered a mango smoothie to-go because I can't resist a mango menu item. It's a very uncomplicated smoothie with mango, mango purer, milk, and whipped cream. But it was the perfect way to end my meal with a little "dessert." The wafer straw was also a tasty touch. * Espresso & Biscoff: My husband ordered an espresso with his meal and he said the flavor was great. It came with a Biscoff cookie for dipping, which you can never go wrong with. I can't tell you how many times that I've ordered crepes to-go from them now because they also travel well. Big fan of what we've tried so far and I'm glad that Dali Crepes is here!

The menu strikes a nice balance. There are enough options that everyone in our group found something they liked, but it's not so extensive that it becomes overwhelming. If you enjoy spirits, definitely try some of their house-distilled offerings. The gin stood out as particularly good and was a highlight of the visit.

We got seated and to start the chairs were dirty (first people of the day sitting here), my water had something in it, and the silverware was dirty. We ordered the bread appetizer, but no plates to put the bread and oil on. We ordered the shrimp and grits, which was very bland it needed salt. Ham and cheese omelet, which my mom also thought was bland, French toast, my son enjoyed. The Benedict, my step dad enjoyed as well. Finally chicken and waffles, which was as expected. On the plus side the service was great and the price was reasonable for the portions. Overall I was not impressed and more than likely would not recommend, at least not for brunch.
