Finally had a real meal here. Their mushroom leek omelette and a cherry chai latte. Flavorful drink and delicious omelette. Staff is super friendly and place is kept up well. A winner for downtown West Chester. read more

Brunch yesterday and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff is amazing. Ryan was our server and she was so knowledgeable about celiac and the concerns my friend had it made the experience even that much better. I had the whipped Ricotta with toast Points and spicy cucumbers. DELICIOUS!!!! Highly recommend Roots cafe. read more

I went with a few friends on a Saturday morning. We were there right at 10 when they opened so we were seated very quickly. It's such a cute environment! The waitresses that served us were so nice! The avocado toast that I had was amazing too. read more

My food was delicious... when it finally came! We sat for about 20 minutes before anyone even brought us water and we were one of the first people there. However, I did really enjoy the meal and would return just for that. Make sure to get there with plenty of time before they open because the line is out the door! read more

Roots Cafe - Apple & Mascarpone French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

We have been coming to Roots Cafe for brunch for a couple of years now and it consistently comes through! Attentive staff and very good food. We have tried almost everything and it tastes great. Fresh ingredients and interesting flavors. My favorite to is the mushroom and leek omelet. Also I love their Bloody Marys! It's a smallish but cozy space with a few tables for larger groups and when the weather is good it has a cute backyard. The only draw back is that there is always a wait or 40-50 mins unless you go right when it opens. But it's still worth the wait. read more

This place is beautiful and the food is even better. Very nicely decorated inside and peaceful outdoor area. Service is great as well. We went for brunch and ordered a whole bunch of everything. There's nothing I wouldn't try! Not only do the plates look amazing, but they taste even better. My personal favorite were the french toast bites & ham & cheese croissant Benedict. If you haven't tried this place already, you have to! read more

Busy cafe with walk-in onlys, but staff moves fast to seat people waiting, without pushing seated clients out. Staff was super nice and friendly! Inside could be a little loud if you're looking to have intimate conversations with other guests. Lovely brunch menu with a variety of options but not too many (which is great for us indecisive people). Cold brew was lovely. Food-wise, everything tasted great! The french toast bites was a great option to share and the frittata was nice and filling, great flavors! If you want a little more spice, ask for a side of hot sauce! read more

Delightful. Lovable. Cozy. Upscale. Delicious. Friendly. Vegetarian and Vegan friendly. That, and much more. Roots Cafe is what a wonderful local spot for brunch should be. Nestled in an old row house and with its footprint taking advantage of every square inch of space, Roots Cafe is everything you would want in a brunch eatery with urban ambiance. Although the tables were close to each other, we could still have the privacy that we wanted as a family. That being said, a crowd of loud people would likely be given stern eyes as the sound carries throughout.... We came over here quite early so we can't attest as to whether or not they take reservations. We were one of the first customers and with 6 people, they sat us in one of the best seating locations by the window. We could see everything inside and out. The waitstaff was cheerful and quite knowledgeable and efficient. We started our brunch by copious amounts of Mimosas and what I thought was one of the best morning appetizers I've ever had, their Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Bites. You can't have just one.... Or two.... Then the main courses.... I had the Mushroom Omelet with delicious fresh mushrooms from nearby farms, a good dose of Birchrun Farms Fat Cat Cheese, a premium - and local - semisoft cheese that would make any fromager sing with joy. My spouse had the Roots Burger, a delightful concoction of a Smash Burger with the trimmings, Dijon, Garlic Aioli on a Brioche Bun, accompanied by delicious Sweet Potato Fries. The coffee kept on coming and we were happy.... A definite go-to when in the Westchester area... Awesome place! read more

Roots cafe is a cute small restaurant with great food. We ordered the cucumber and Pumpkin French Toast for appetizers. I have to say though that the French toast stole the show. For brunch we all shared the Autumn Scramble, Bacon & Arugula Breakfast Sandwich, ROOTS Hot Chicken, and the burger. The roots hot chicken stole the show in my opinion. Overall the service was great. The only challenge is that it's small and you may not always get seated quickly. Great place to check out ! read more

Great food! I had it delivered, so I can't speak to the ambience. But healthy, clean, delicious food.

Stopped in with my daughter on a Friday and first time visit. Cute place and we sat out back on the patio which is nicely covered and has a koi pond. Excellent hostess and wait staff are very nice and friendly. She had the standard breakfast and I had the blueberry French toast. Scrambled eggs were excellent and creamy. The blueberry French toast was outstanding. Will definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

love roots so much! Debra could not be nicer- and those French toast bites are to die for- will definitely be back!

This place was overall very good but we went there in a 11:30 on Sunday and there was a huge wait. We only had a 30 min wait but it went to over an hour before we left. Not sure if they were understaffed or the kitchen was overwhelmed. No real sense of urgency really. That being said our service was good once seated and so was the food! Small but cute interior- you just can't be in a rush. The cucumbers were amazing and the chicken sandwich the sweet potato fries were great! We will be back during a less busy time read more

Overall, good breakfast/brunch spot in West Chester. We arrived right when they opened as they don't take reservations, and there was already a line. We were told it would be around 40-45 minutes to get a table because some really big groups had just gotten seated. After waiting, we were quickly seated. The food was good. For an appetizer, we got the pretzel croissant and those were probably the highlight for me! The entrees were good but nothing mind blowing. I got the breakfast sandwich and my husband got the pork belly Benedict. Would come back but definitely have to get there right when they open on a Sunday. read more

Super delicious breakfast! We were looking for a quiet and comfortable place for brunch and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the breakfast. I got the croissant sandwich and it came out super quickly with friendly staff willing to accommodate the menu. The arugula sandwich is a must try! Thank you guys for the yummy meal. read more

Great food and especially good drinks! Our waitress was fantastic. I would highly recommend roots.

As a 23 year old male I find a neutral approach when trying new restaurants. I'm greeted kindly, and treated well by the staff every time I sit to eat by myself. This place is truly a hidden gem and for many reasons, the quality/portion of the meal is perfect leaving me walking out without a stomach ache. The creativity behind the meals is truly a work of art and I can tell the creator cares about his/her work. Seems like they are farm to table, and if I can notice it- you will to. The price per person is more than generous, I'm a young college student who you can tell doesn't have a wallet to go out every week. However, I do end up here almost once a week. The owner of Roots took me by surprise by taking time out of his day to see me in person and thank me for loving his/her restaurant. I have never left a review in my life, and I know this was long. But Root's cafe blew me away, and I hope everyone can experience a meal from this beautiful cafe. read more

The wait was long, but we enjoyed our meal. The mimosa flight was fun but I loved the strawberry rhubarb mojito. And the French toast bites were also delicious. I got the Moroccan eggs and they were quite tasty. Vibe was cozy read more

Roots cafe may be the best brunch spot in West Chester. The decor and ambiance is so cozy and rustic with all the wood furniture and all the decorations. The food is also top notch. today i had their country fried chicken and it was so good. the chicken was fried well and the sausage gravy is so flavorful and coats the chicken so well. The potatoes are also the best i've ever had being perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and with the just right amount of salt. The only downside was that biscuit was cold in the middle but still tasted very good with the gravy and chicken. My girlfriend got the french toast bites and it may be the best french toast i've ever had. Each bite was crispy and soft with the right amount of sweetness, reminding almost of a perfect cinnamon toast crunch. Our server was also amazing and came by often to check up on us. Love this place. read more

Stopped in for brunch and so glad I did. We sat outside in a cute little patio and had the best service. I mentioned that some bloody marys are way too salty for me so the server brought out a sample for me to taste.... Yum! I got mine spicy and had it with the mushroom hash. We all cleared our plates and left happy. read more

Overpriced, like all boutique cafes, but good food. Quite a cute interior, but it's small and crowded and got pretty loud. No complaints about the service! Yes complaints about only offering QR code menus, the existence of which I am deeply opposed to. read more

A yummy and casual place for brunch! Went here with a friend on a Tuesday morning and there was no wait. I loved the inside a lot, kind of reminded me of an old farm almost? Very clean and the lighting was warm on a rainy day. I think the upstairs has a place for local sales, I didn't go up there but I saw a sign for it. The pretzel croissants were SO delicious!! Never tried a dish like that and it was unique and yummy. Everything else was also tasty but nothing out of the ordinary. It's a bit pricey for what you're getting in my opinion, but I guess that is also West Chester in general. Would love to come back here for breakfast/brunch with my family. read more

Fresh! Fantastic. Familiar. Roots is a must go for brunch. Haven't been for dinner but they are now serving dinner and the dishes look amazing! As for the brunch items, they're packed full of yummy deliciousness freshly sourced from local places around the area! How cool is that? I love dining at places where I know I'm get the best quality produce and supporting local farmers while I'm at it! I've had the pleasure of dining here twice now, both times for brunch. In the past ordered their superfood hash, today was the biscuits and gravy. And oh my gosh!! Amazing and super tasty! They have the cutest little farm to table vibe going on. They do have a back patio, it looks so cute and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back for the patio experience and, of course, the food! read more
