The Roots Coffeebar & Cafe

This is one of my go to coffee shops for morning coffee. It's pretty large inside and has numerous tables. So you can feel ok about spending some time there to read or do work. It has a good vibe given the layout, a nice mix of music and always friendly staff.The coffee is Anodyne, which is a very good, full flavored coffee. I often get a no bake protein ball. They're a bit sweet, but not excessively sweet with oatmeal, peanut butter and chocolate chips. It's enough for me to consider it breakfast.Since I'm there practically when they open up, parking on the streets is easy. Can't speak to later in the day as I'm an early riser. Highly recommend!

Wonderful! I went for coffee/breakfast with a friend and it was such a cute shop. A lot busier than I was expecting but my order came out fast. SUPER cute spot for a first date or to catch up with friends.Highly recommend their ham and cheese quiche and a vanilla iced latte.

I'm from out of town, but this is a regular stop for me when I visit my family. It is a cozy little coffee shop that offers a larger area for gatherings. There's additional ships connected on the back - a ceramics shop and dog shop. Great spot to get some caffeine and snacks and stay warm from the cold. I haven't ever had their snacks, but the London Fog and Dirty Chai are excellent.

The cutest place inside!! Lots of seating. The caramel macchiato was yummy. I'll definitely be back!

My friend recently moved about a block away from here so when he said "Coffee?" I said yes and we walked over for some breakfast.The atmosphere is comfortable; typical coffee shop vibe. We ordered simply- a couple of toasted bagels (love that they had peanut butter for me) as well as a black coffee for me and a soda for my friend. We must have gotten there at just the right time as right after we sat down, a line formed and didn't go away the entire time we were inside.Plenty of seating inside with some seating outside on the street. The crowd on this Tuesday morning was a mix of mom's and their kids, business people tucked away on their computers and other people from the neighborhood.Prices are competitive to other coffee shops and the staff was pleasant and got our order up quickly.Worth a stop in if you are in the area!

Cute little coffee shop on the main road! Had a lot of options for drinks and the food menu looked good as well, although I didn't try any of that!I had the caramel apple latte and my husband got the cold brew. Looks like a great place with plenty of tables to hang out with friends or do some work

I've been to The Roots twice now, and each time has been pretty average. The coffee shop is well decorated and there is a decent amount of seating. However, the prices are pretty high compared to other coffee shops. My small iced chai latte with almond milk ran me $6.30 (including tax). That's 10-15% more expensive than many of the coffee shops in Waukesha. If it was mind-blowingly delicious, I'd be okay spending that money. But it's not, so only come here if you like the vibe and the location and you have a punch card. (Though you'll have to purchase SIXTEEN DRINKS in order to get your free one. Many of the other coffee shops with loyalty cards only require twelve drinks before you get your free one.) The Roots has a nice variety of food and treats to choose from. If you're a picky eater or you have kids, you won't really have an issue finding something to eat. Parking can be difficult to find. There is some both in front of and behind the building. But since it's all street/public parking, you might be stuck looking for a spot for a while. Honestly, I don't think I'll return here. Unless a friend of mine specifically requests we go to this coffee shop, I'm going to stick to the coffee shops in Waukesha (like Mama D's or Cafe De Arts).

The food was pretty good, the drinks seemed rushed and tasted okay. The best thing about this coffee shop is the lively atmosphere and comfortable seating options.

We were staying local and traveled back to Roots twice on our trip. The menu is grand here and I love that they offer kid food all day. There is plenty of seating and as areas are sectioned off for additional privacy if needed. My son was extremely satisfied with the Mac and cheese he received for breakfast both days. My husband tried the breakfast sandwich and was delighted how it tasted. Both days I ordered the oatmeal topped with coconut flakes and berries accompied with a side of oak milk and brown sugar. Our first visit was unique as the town was experiencing a tornado warning. The owner was extremely attentive to all guests and offered the basement for safety if we choose to stay. There is always something about a home town coffee shop that gets me to return.

Terrible service and overpriced coffee drinks. My husband and I go here often with our kids. We don't appreciate that Cassandra Martin Wagner harasses people here.
