Roots Farm Cafe

We had a delicious lunch in a nice, funky setting. Staff was very pleasant and while we didn't bring our dog we liked that they're welcome in the outdoor seating.

Limited menu. Pretentious. Too light for a hearty breakfast. Too expensive for a daily stop. Not really what I'm ever looking for. It's clean, though. And the service was reasonable and professional. It's just not what I want in either a breakfast stop nor a cafe.

Pretty popular spot right before getting into town, we decide to see what's so special about this place. Ordered a German breakfast and fruit salad.1. German breakfast: pieces of ham, salami, cheese that seems like it's from one of those packages, super thin, cut into medium pieces and lay on the plate with scattered sliced blood orange? Reminds me of a kids art project.2. Fruit salad: I thought maybe I might get some leaves with my fruits, just a small bowl, bananas, blueberry, dried cranberries and oranges.Coffee was good and they have non coffee stuff too like tea and chai. Small locally made goods section definitely be sure to check out. I don't know if I be here for the food but the coffee and goods sure!

After several visits, I can say it has become one of my favorite places for brunch. Fresh from the oven quiche, paninis, cookies... etc....

If you're considering stopping here, do it! Such a welcoming feeling, great staff and music, and above all the food here was delicious. We had their breakfast sandwich which I really enjoyed, as well as their fancy toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Both were excellent choices. Also if you're looking for a great drink, their golden milk latte was delicious, just the right amount of sweet and flavorful all around. 10/10 can't wait to be back someday!!

5 star for food and atmosphere. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day and resident kitties. My group enjoyed the antipasto platter, chicken panini, soup, and a breakfast sandwich. Perfect portions for brunch. Topped it off with a chocolate chip cookie and or meal raisin. Highly recommend!

I really love this restaurant, welcoming and friendly staff paired with a very mellow, down to earth at home feeling here. Excellent breakfast every time! 5/5

What makes a good breakfast burrito? Like any self respecting New Mexican, I have spent a lifetime eating my way closer to answering this question. A good breakfast burrito is balanced and contains proportionate ratios of egg, sausage, potato, cheese and of course, green Chile. While I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients for Roots' breakfast burrito, mine contained mostly egg, with a couple of small potato chunks thrown in. The egg was nicely cooked, but really dominated the other ingredients. I wish I had asked if adding green Chile was a possibility-- not a complete dealbreaker to me, provided the ingredient ratios were more balanced. The burrito came with a side of zesty sauce. I think it's sour cream, blended with either salsa or hot sauce. Very tasty, and almost made up for the overwhelming egg. Taste is 8/10, though. Adding green Chile and more equal proportions of ingredients would take this burrito to the top. I'd eat it again! The staff are really kind and friendly. They appear to enjoy working there.

A wonderful sunny (but perhaps a bit too warm) day in central New Mexico. Join Tom Neiman and Jim Tritten as they take a local road trip to Tijeras and report on Roots Farm Cafe, a short ride east from Albuquerque via Interstate 40. Good food, service, and atmosphere.
