Local Roots

Local Roots is a wonderful restaurant with an extensive and ever-changing menu, staffed by some of the kindest and most genuine people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

The food is reasonably priced and always comes out hot and delicious, ready to be enjoyed and savored.

That said, where Local Roots really shines in my mind is in the events that are hosted, such as the weekly open mic nights. These events are a joy to attend, and safety/health is a priority for staff and attendees alike.

I am very grateful for Local Roots and the staff/patrons that keep it going. Much love. 💙

Wonderful service and delicious! So very happy to have the opportunity to sit in this restaurant. Very good food, homey feel but very modern and super cafe-style atmosphere. Whole family partakes in making you feel welcome. Available for purchase are take home coffee beans, nice soft t-shirts and special dishes. I got a lentil dal special but it could have had a bit larger amount of lentils. Regardless, amazing service and fantastic flavors. The Chorizo burrito was quite substantial and my Reuben Omelette was super duper good. The beef was smoked, it was not dried out and had premium cuts in it.
Delicious portions of cheese and good coffee. My father who typically doesn’t drink coffee had a large cup in their adorable raccoon mug! Special touches make this place packed on a Sunday morning, and it is no wonder! They are doing everything right. A fundraiser for the local schools was being held with a gardening buy in of flowers. So much fun. I chatted with a regular customer who referred to the proprietor by first name. This was my second time coming to the restaurant. Looking forward to another visit again soon.

Great local place with a nice play area for kids! I got a cubano and my kidlet got a hot cocoa and a cookie. A++ on all three items. Plenty of high chairs for little littles too!

Service is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. I love the decor! Cute wooden booths (but they have padded seats, A+!), Dark wood floors, vintage 50s tables and chairs.

Looks like it would be a great place to have small meetings for groups as well. Music is pleasant but not too loud.

They seem to be very supportive of local artists/makers; they have a tin man I believe is made by a local Richfieldian, soaps and cards by other local folks as well.

I enjoyed the visit. I will definitely be back!

Found this place on a whim and it was worth it! Huge portions (even for my ravenous 8 yr old), fresh, and great coffee, too! Friendly staff as well. We’re from out of town but we’ll be back next time we’re up this way!

This place has excellent good and drinks. Love the signature, Minnesota-themed beverages. All food is made in-house, and all art featured throughout the place is made by local artists. Will definitely be returning to Local Roots many times!

This place is great! Omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan options for really affordable prices. Staff is friendly and helpful with selections or alterations.

Super family-friendly with a glass walled family room. So even if you don't like little ones that much, there's plenty of separation.

The vibe is great with an open concept that's not too loud and classic music selection that won't offend even the pickiest taste.

To top it all off, they have a pet friendly patio.

We drove up to get a couple of recalls repaired on the Subaru and happened across this place. We had a couple delicious and creative coffee drinks (Bear in a Chair) and an amazing breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were probably one of the best I have tasted! So glad we stopped!

Ordered their special “Ruben Omelette” very delicious. A mix of breakfast and dinner. Every Wednesday night is open mic! So there atmosphere was filled with music and song.

This was amazing. Staff was very nice. Prices were reasonable and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend if your looking for breakfast at a local diner.

Neat place, nice staff and good food. I will certainly be coming back again. Indoor seating is comfortable and there are tons of outdoor seating in the sun and under a cover.

The Cuban sandwich was awesome and the wild rice soup was also great.
This place is super family friendly. There's a playroom for kids and changing table in both the men's and women's bathrooms.
Given that they only recently opened, the place was packed. There was a bit of a line to order, but it moved quickly.

Homerun. Went for dinner, impressed by menu and local focus. Nice patio, meeting room, kids play area, well-chosen selection of local brews. Didn't try any coffee drinks, but if the quality of the food is any guide, I'm sure that's great too.

Local Roots is a great neighborhood eatery. We enjoyed our food and the staff is really friendly.

Kind and friendly staff, they cleared a booth for me when I asked to sit near an outlet as I needed to work. Americano was very good and I enjoyed the farmers breakfast.

Friendly service, lovely, clean atmosphere, excellent menu selection, with the ability to mix it up with substitutions, delicious coffee, AND mimosas, beer, wine, etc.

There's a play room with toys for kids, a private party room.

Great food, good prices. Before Covid they had a cute play room for kids, which may reopen someday. Large outdoor sitting area.

There are not many places in the twin cities that are as special as Local Roots. They have great coffee, literally AMAZING food, and a very friendly, hard working staff. They always have food specials starting at 11AM that are delicious. The breakfast across the board is fabulous, and sitting in to eat could not be more comfortable. It is a wonderful place to hunker down to work with coffee and food. Also the patio is super nice with a lot of places to sit. If it wasn't made clear, I LOVE THIS PLACE. 10/10, 5 stars, would recommend.

Love this place. Great little local spot, the furniture is a little quirky and old fashioned but in a way that gives it charm. Love their coffee options, highly recommend the Lady Slipper with mocha and raspberry in it! They have a wide variety of food from breakfast (our fave is the fancy pants grilled cheese) to dinners and wing nights. They have all the fixin's to make your favorite coffee too. Just a great spot for family eats.

My girlfriend introduced me to this restaurant. She spoke highly of it, and now I know why!

We were greeted with a friendly smile when we walked in. The gentleman at the counter explained their menu with great detail. And gave us good suggestions of popular food items. We ordered our meals and sat outside on their massive patio. Our food arrived in a very timely matter, and was delicious!

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. They’re friendly environment made us feel very welcome. And the food was amazing!

P.S. I’m a stickler for random condiments (hot sauce, spicy mustard, etc), and they had an enormous condiment bar. It really made my meal that much better, and I look forward to coming back! 👍👍🙂

Surprisingly large menu from a coffee shop menu
Adult beverage menu to breakfast—lunch & dinner.
The service is perfectly chill, professional & lovely; & the food is some of the best in town.
I experienced their biscuits & gravy which was out of this world! Plus they know how to do espresso shots right:)
I was very impressed with everything!
Local Roots is a true jem in this town!!
