Roots Cafe

This place is a gem at the southern tip of Canandaigua lake. It really embodies all of the local charm of the quaint little town of Naples. From the menu that features many items that were grown, baked, or sourced very close to the restaurant, to the locals who work and cook there, the freshness shines through on their seasonal menus.

The menu isn't extensive, but it doesn't have to be. Everything from burgers, tacos, stew, braised meats, and several vegan options will allow just about any person to find something they'll enjoy. Pro-tip, get a side of fries if your meal doesn't come with them.

Tasty craft cocktails, wine from the winery next door, and craft beer options for those who enjoy some fun libations. Lots of fun desserts made in house or by local bakers will round out your meal if you have room left at the end.

Start from location: plenty of parking on the street,live music stage in the place next door

Now to the food and service:
Service was quick and very friendly .
The food, I ordered the seasonal salad with feta, grapes, crystalized ginger and greens- it was fresh and delicious, brisket sandwich with kimchi was very good and the hand cut seasoned fries were so so tasty .
For dessert I ordered a coconut and berries cake,ate it at home,it was not too sweet and just the right thing to finish off this meal.

If you are coming as a group -recommend to make reservations in advance since the place gets full quickly

The drive and environment had a great feeling to it ...the food was really good .I mean I only had burgers but they Tasted great!.. cooked right nice bun pairing ..I even ate the kale side salad 🥗 it was good ...add to that it was grape fest and it made for perfect place to stop ....im sure its great and far less hectic during non festival week ends

Loved this cafe! Homey and cozy ambience, friendly service and delicious food!

Again again and again it’s always good and always deserving of 5 stars! I had the special, corned beef and cabbage dinner and let me say, I couldn’t get enough, yet couldn’t finish it all! It was fabulous!

My wife and I were on our honeymoon. On the way back home, we decided to stop by Roots Cafe. I'm glad we did cause the food was phenomenal, the people were great, and the views were great. Everything was great! Thanks again!

A very interesting menu selection of breakfast and lunch items. Great burgers. Many tasty options and vegetarian too. Drink menu is extensive. Awesome atmosphere.

An excellent restaurant, the place is cool inside with a unique menu many locally sourced items and wine. A full bar and many interesting foods come check it out and leave a note in the drawer when you go. The servers here a very friendly and are happy to make recommendations from their great menu and the food is great.
We stopped in for Sunday brunch and tried the black bean sweet potato burger (pictured) and the sausage gravy and biscuits (pictured) both made on site and very good. We tried some of the wine and the house mixed tea as well many unique things to like.

Foods are delicious. We tried Mac&Cheese and Brisket sandwich and we love it!! Don’t forget to try their White Peach Sider 🙂

Beautiful cafe adjacent to a vineyard and view of the surrounding Bristol hills. There were several vegan/vegetarian options available on the menu. I had the black bean sweet potato burger with a kale salad. The salad consisted of wilted kale in a citrus, gingery dressing. Unusual and wonderful. My only complaint about the burger is that the burger didn't hold together and was difficult to eat.

Wish I could give 10 stars. Vegan Sunday brunch with Brussel sprout potato hash, add sweet potato and black bean burger.

And they're playing Muddy Waters and Buffalo Springfield on the speaker...

Theresa was so kind, welcoming, with great service!

If you're thinking of coming here, don't hesitate!

This little restaurant is a gem!
Nestled in the heart of NYS Finger Lakes wine country, it is great place to dine while enjoying the fall foliage or taking a wine tour.
The staff is friendly and helpful from the hostess to the bartender and they all made us feel very welcomed.
The lunch menu offered a wide selection of sandwiches and salads. Utilizing the best local grown products and meats.
We choose the portobello sandwich and it was out of this world. We also had one of the drink specials, a blood orange martini with cranberry , that was amazing.
The decor is eclectic with all of the tables being metal top kitchen tables from the 1950's. It gave you the nostalgic feeling of having a great meal at home.
I do suggest, however, that you make reservations. The restaurant is small and popular with limited seating.

Nice menu with variety. Innovative cocktails. Lovely eclectic atmosphere. We will keep coming back when in the area.

Called when restaurant wasn’t open and left a message for a reservation. They returned our call, much to our joy, as soon as they opened. The harvest platter had 3 types of cheese: blue, black truffle and a mystery one that was tasty, 3 types of purée summer squash, carrot and black beans, pickled carrots and warm flatbread. The brisket melted in the coffee gravy and the saltiness was a nice foil for the sweetness of the pears and roasted carrots it went with. The pasta pasta’s star was the Brussels sprouts. The rosemary honey cocktail was the perfect blend of flavors and booze.

Came here after a hike and it was amazing! The food was incredible. The fries were seasoned well, meat was very flavorful and bread wasn’t soggy at all. Overall everything tasted very fresh and flavorful. Would definitely recommend!

Great service, cool little cafe. Stopped for coffee (great brew), ended up ordering chicken curry wrap and pea soup. Great organic dishes on the menu, including these items

Amazing restaurant.

Last night for dinner I had a Langoustine Agnolotti (homemade pasta stuffed with langoustine and shaved fennel) in a meyer lemon and caper sauce that absolutely blew my mind. An advanced dish.

We had to come back…

Today for brunch we had a breakfast pizza and I had a burger (pictured). There was a slight mistake and my burger went to the wrong table. Acting like a michelin starred outfit, they quickly acknowledged the mistake and my next drink suddenly appeared and “on the house”.

After working in several restaurants in NYC and moving to the FLX, it is rare to find this caliber of food, drink, and best of all, hospitality.

Eat here. Make a reservation. You’ll be happy!

First off - the bartender that made my Manhattan from their drink specials menu; best Manhattan I've had!

Showed up for an evening of music with Tyler Westcott and Brendan Gosson; got to witness some true porch picking once the microphones were turned off and the night started to quiet down.

If there is a business that embodies the true nature and spirit of Naples - it's Roots.

Recommended by the locals and true to their word the best food! We shared the poutine fries and had the ribeye. Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Drinks were delicious too. Tried the sangria, the jalapeño pineapple margarita and the gincident were all soooo good. Highly recommend. Stopped by inspire Moore winery before dinner and that was great too. Definitely found out new spot!

We drove down to Naples today to get some grape pies since we didn’t make it to the festival last weekend and wanted to get brunch as well. I had narrowed it down to 3 places to choose from and ultimately went with Roots cafe and was happy from the minute we walked in the door! This place is adorable! The historic house is decorated with true antique and vintage pieces throughout and was so completely charming, I even told the host how cute the place was when she sat us. The food was fantastic, my dining partners had the mac and cheese which I tried- fabulous, fresh and flavorful, the sausage gravy which I did not try but looked and smelled amazing, and I had the shamboozle (sp?) breakfast sandwich which was so oooey gooey cheesy delicious, but the fries that came with it were out of this world! I can’t wait to come back and try something else! Be aware, the website says reservations recommended, we took a chance and had none but apparently got lucky that they weren’t too busy, or just hit the right time maybe. I’d say worth the wait even if you had to though.
