Sooooooo bombs literally. The banana pudding omg!!!'n the lattes are whatever my wife likes it. But the waffles legit!!!!

Beautiful new coffee shop. Must try the lavender latte! Not too sweet or floral. The churro waffle is Perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. I'm coming back to try the cereal milk smoothie! read more

Parking: There's a good amount of parking space so no hassle! Location: Its located in a plaza but the area is a little secluded so not much around. Service: The staff was really nice and explained to me about their drink selection! Drink: I got the lavender milk tea and it wasn't too sweet and perfect! I gave a minus 1 star because the WiFi dies down often. It might not be the best place to study if you need constant connection. read more

This new coffee shop is great!! I loooove the photogenic peony decal and the kind employees. The latte was great too and they were kind enough to make it with my diet shake so I could drink it. It was a good place to get work done, however there are only a few outlets so bring an extension cord. Other than that everything was great! read more

Soo disappointed :( I recently came across their IG page and their 16 hour cold brew topped with vanilla cream looked so good, that I decided to go and try it. However, it was nothing like the pic! There were no cool "roots" as I imagined (hence the name of the place) and it just looked like a plain coffee. Next time I'll give their caramel latte a try, hopefully it'll be better. read more

Yummy coffee (I got the chaga matcha latte). The barista was really nice. I wouldn't say this is a place to study, though. The tables were really small and there weren't too many outlets. read more

Came here with my boyfriend for a little dessert after dinner. Had no trouble parking or locating the cafe. We ordered an iced latte, coffee and a churro waffle to share. There was no wait and place was pretty empty, that was nice. Overall our drinks were delicious and the waffle churro was bomb! Churro waffle is definitely the star, perfect level of sweetness and the texture wasn't dry or too soft. My only suggestion is that i wish the staff was a bit more warm and welcoming next time. Hopefully next time it'll be better because we will be back. read more

Roots Cafe - Churro waffle :) - Cafes Near Me - Cerritos, California

Still fairly new to California and have much more to explore obviously because milk tea is fireeeee. I had the strawberry flavor cause the guy recommended it since he saw I was interested. I usually drink chocolate milk but if you're ever here, strawberry milk tea is MONEY. I'm sure the other ones are just as thirst quenching. read more

If there was a word to describe this place, fantastic would have to be the word. The interior design and atmosphere are gorgeous. The staff friendly and very welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious, especially the Matcha Waffle. If I was on deathrow than that Waffle would definitely be on my last meal list. I very high recommend this place. read more

Freaking amazing !! We had waffle and hubby had avocado toast! I absolutely love the matcha waffle!! And my hubby loved the avocado toast!! Parking was good Staff was nice, and patient. Also, they had a really clean bathroom, they had all kinds of smell good stuff in there!! Loved that!! Nothing worse than a dirty stinky bathroom!! read more

I've been here 3 times within the last 2 weeks! It's a great place to study with a spacious communal table and wifi. It also has a few high-top tables great for conversing with a friend. Their menu is pretty extensive including Stumptown coffee, smoothies, slush, teas, as well as toasts and waffles! Parking is easy and it's located in the same plaza as Elite and Baskin Robbin next to the nail shop. read more

Cute little spot in Cerritos. Nice location to do some work outside (and inside seating too). Peaceful with some good coffee.

Amazing food and coffee. Had their honey oat latte iced and it was amazing. I had their food as well and I can say 5/5!! Delicious!!

Yummy ham, cheese, and jalapeño sandwich and lavender latte! Recommend for a nice ambiance and friendly fast service. Cute date place. read more

Roots is one of my favorite cafes in southern Cali. They have an excellent choice of teas, coffee and food. My favorite thing to order aside from the ice spice chai tea, is their banana pudding. I've also tried their Cuban sandwich and the bacon waffle. Check them out if you are in the Cerritos area and support your local small business. read more

O.M.G...I have tried Matcha latte with extra shot and Churro Waffle and Avocado Toast. Everything was delicious! Especially Matcha latte was amazing.(I'm a Matcha lover) I definitely will visit again :) read more

Roots is my go-to when I'm in the area getting my car serviced. The Earl gray latte w/Oat milk is my drink. Had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. Can't wait until my next visit to try another drink. read more

This cafe shop is absolutely amazing! Service is awesome and the coffee is to die for.

Roots is an attractive cafe with the best churro waffle ever! We landed here one night during the week, desperate for a dessert and we really scored at Roots! Although they were about to close when we ordered we received amazing customer service and a churro waffle that will keep you coming back for more. I will have to come back soon to have a pour over and maybe grab a snap back to represent Roots Cafe! Rooting for you to be successful! read more

Excellent stop if you didn't get too full at some nearby establishment... Or even if you did. Very friendly staff, delicious tea, and we enjoyed the Churro Waffle dessert - which they offered as a sample while we waited for a table next door. I should also add, nice and quiet atmosphere if you want a place to relax. read more

Matcha latte (hot) was delicious. Roots cafe have the best matcha latte than other places I have tried so far. Matcha waffle was good, they blend matcha powder with the waffle dough + sprinkle more powder on top. However, I couldn't taste a lot of matcha due to the sweetness from the syrup and ice-cream on top. Great service. read more

I totally confused this place for something else. I thought this was a health-conscious organic joint and was actually pleasantly surprised by the coffee and carby breakfast options. I had a dirty chai which was divine and a few bites of the churro waffle which tasted exactly as described. I had to knock off a star since it took over 15 minutes to get the drinks and over 20 minutes to get the waffle. I don't think I would have noticed it took that long, but the seats were so uncomfortable that I was antsy to get my drink. It is in a shopping center with ample parking and a restroom available for patrons of the coffee shop. I look forward to coming back! read more

Tea places popping up everywhere. They're all starting to look the same. It's a small place but cute, clean and trendy modern. I ordered the iced matcha green tea latte, avocado toast and the green tea waffle. Not a fan of any of them. I was really disappointed. I usually ask what kind of matcha powder places use but had my kiddo with me so was sort of occupied with her and forgot. No matcha flavor at all, all milk. She didn't even ask if regular milk was ok or if i wanted an alternative, not sure If that was even an option. Avocado toast, I've never had one and wanted to try it to see what the hype was all about. Smashed up avocados on two not very toasted thin pieces of bread for $6 is a bit much. I can make this at home. The bread was very soft and with the avocado on it, made it floppy. The green tea waffle did not have any green tea flavor in it and was soggy. Super disappointing and felt like I walked out of there wasting my money. read more

Really good coffee, really good food, good snacks, nice team of employees and right next store to PT and the nail salon!

Caramel latte was delicious! I cant wait to go back here for my coffee. I seriously want to try all the items on the menu. Much better than Starbucks in my opinion. The staff is very friendly and they gave my friend and I great recommendations for different drinks on the menu. My husband loved the mango slushie. Recommending this place to my friends and family. read more

they always do such a good job and there cold brew is amazing not like anything else i've had

First time my niece and I tried this place. I've been wanting to come by here but haven't gotten a chance to and didn't know what to order. We shared the strawberry matcha drink with oat milk. Oh my goodness, it was amazingly good! for food I ordered the avocado toast with egg and that was also bombbbbbb! My niece ordered the original waffle which she also enjoyed. Overall this place is amazing... food, drinks, music and the vibes on point read more

Stopped by here for a quick coffee and I was glad I did. Great cold brew and macaroons. I'll be sure to stop by again.

This cozy place's coffee is the best coffee around here. You will never regret it. It's pretty smooth and savory! read more

Coffee is great. There's hardly ever a line. I'm always in and out super quick. Sometimes they have some amazing chocolate chip cookies. I both do and don't wish they had them all the time. read more

I love this place, and the comforting vibe it has. Coffee is great with many options, as well as other drinks, teas, etc. They also have food options, with daily baked goods. They also have some of the most amazing banana pudding! read more

This is a brand new place here in Cerritos... Their coffee is delicious, their Matcha Waffle is to die for and their latte is the best... The service is perfect! The place is low key, simple but spotless... Check it out!!! read more

So unfortunately we came for food, but the menu was very limited and I truly didn't want to overpay for avocado toast. However we did take home a hazelnut cold brew and it was absolutely delicious. I would honestly make the drive back just to have it again. Staff is friendly they have a good amount of seating for a small space, and clean restrooms. read more

Nice cute cafe! Its nice a nice study spot but there aren't a lot of tables. Definitely wouldn't recommend to groups; they only have one table that seats 6. Bring your extension cable for your laptops, there aren't a lot of outlets. I just had the iced americano so I'm not sure how the other drinks are, but I'll definitely come back to try them. read more

Loved it! It was exactly what I wanted, breakfast even though it was 12:30 pm. I ordered after I arrived and waited for a few minutes outside. Inside was clean, tidy and organized. The person at the counter was welcoming and helpful. I ordered a Breakfast Waffle which was a Belgian waffle with strawberries and bananas on top. On the side was syrup and butter, they included utensils and napkins in to go box. Check out the photo. It tasted as good as it looked! I had a coffee also, I can't remember which, I apologize, BUT I do remember it was tasty. read more

First time ordering from this place and I am beyond impressed. The quality and attention to detail in the delivery made me feel that I wasn't missing out on the true experience of dining in during this quarantine time. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, iced expresó coffee with oatmilk honey and the churro waffle with strawberries. The sandwich had a nice soft crunch to it, the coffee had a perfect balance, not too sweet, not too strong and not overloaded with milk. And the churro waffle was delicious, they provided with the perfect portions to add the whip cream and ice cream. I will definitely be ordering and recommending this place. read more

When I try a new coffee shop I would order capuccino because it's one of the basic espresso-based coffees which has little room to make up poor breweing with additives such as extra sugar, flavor or something like that. You just have beans and milk. That's it. In that regard their capuccino wa s super-impressive and to my taste. Acidity and nutty flavor were well-balanced. The taste was pretty similar to capuccino from Kean coffee, which is my favorite. I guess their barista is pretty skillful given they use rather common Stumptown beans, not roasting their own. When you don't roast your own, you have a bit of disadvantage in terms of freshness due to a lead time on roasting date to delivery, but looks like their barista is making differences. Ah, almost forgot to mention. Their waffle was amazing too. A must-try read more

if I can give it a zero stars I would, I ate a ham and cheese jalapeño panini and found that the cheese of my food was moldy, went to tell an employee and he completely ignored me. I then heard the workers talking about how they just scraped the moldy part off of the cheese they use because it "should be okay". I will definitely be reporting this to the health department. read more
