O. W.

Lovely coffee, really friendly staff and a social enterprise serving great food. Well done Roots. We will 100% be back. ❤️

E. G.

Autumnal Latte to go! Perfect Friday morning treat after school run. Lovely atmosphere in Roots, staff welcoming and polite.

A. F.

Lovely, lovely place. Delicious food and such great value.

J. Y. (.

Lovely spacious cafe recommended by the hub, food not hot but acceptable. Pleasant staff and good prices!

J. N. B.

Really nice community atmosphere, games and books to borrow, play or read. Rentable space for groups to have a day of fun.

J. W.

Delicious bacon sandwich and coffee. Nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a catch up with family.

J. H.

A lovely, spacious coffeeshop with good food and drink, a short distance from the centre of Gloucester. There is a small play area and a community room for hire. It's a great place to meet.

R. K.

Lovely friendly, relaxed cafe and everything is delicious. I've been with friends, with the kids and am happy enough to visit when I'm on my own. Great ethics and community spirit too x

A. L.

Lovely little community café... Really nice vibe in here. They do a scheme where you can donate your free loyalty card coffee or buy a voucher for their notice board to help someone who may just need a free hot drink or some food! Hopefully those in need know about this great idea!

A. K.

Just a nice and cosy community cafe with a nice atmosphere. The fried egg bap is brilliant and great hunger filler! The prices are slightly pricey but that’s to be expected with a small community cafe. Keep it up!

S. D.

Lovely. Such a lovely place to have a coffee and cake. The downstairs is spacious, open and airy and the upstairs is quieter with books you can borrow. So many events are held at Roots also, which i keep meaning to get involved in. A wonderful place run by wonderful people. I would highly suggest popping in if you're local.

S. S.

Absolutely love this place......staff are so helpful and kind.....they don't mind if you stay for just a coffee or you stay for a couple of hours.....food is fab.....all homemade.... quite a basic menu, breakfast menu or sandwiches, toasties, panini's, soup, bacon or sausage rolls plus plenty of cakes, what you get is delicious.... everything is made to order so you know it's going to be fresh. I would say if you happen to pass this place pop in for a coffee and something to eat. I promise you won't be be disappointed

G. O.

Cheerful local café with a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of room on the ground floor, including a small play area for little ones. There's additional seating upstairs with a selection of books for all ages. The events room for hire is big enough for a large meeting or kids' party. The menu is simple but the food quality is high: cakes and coffee are particularly good. The presentation is as good as any coffee shop chain. Prices are very reasonable too. All the staff are always helpful and cheerful.

b. h.

Lovely Rhubarb smoothie 😋 will be back soon

L. G.

Always visit with my children, really enjoy going for brunch while they play. It's a nice set up as you can see them from your table easily and the place is secure. Cakes are amazing!

a. t.

Cheerful friendly community cafe with lovely atmosphere. Lots of menu choices and vegetarian options and delicious home cooking. Great space upstairs to relax and room available to book for community activities. Yoga classes, sound healing and drumming circle to name but a few. Street parking only is the only downfall but most customers are local.

A. M.

Pretty cafe with a great atmosphere, local vibes and most importantly, very sustainable and environment friendly! Really good ethically sourced coffee and some fantastic food. A rare find, thank you for making my morning awesome! 😁

M. A.

A great place to enjoy a quality, fairly traded coffee, and the best chocolate brownies! Lovely staff. It is located in a less salubrious area of Gloucester, but just like The Sherbourne Cinema, for example, is quite unpretentiously one of Gloucester's several hidden gems!

m. s.

A lovely coffee spot with amazing staff and a little area for kids to play plus a comfy sofa. The food and drink are also very nice with drinks often coming with a seasonal twist like summer smoothies and different hot chocolates in the winter. They also have tons of events going on constantly so be sure to check the board they have up!

A. W.

I haven't been there for a coupe years. Nice to see it is still open and provide the same community feel, fantastic beverages and warm friendly service.

T. M.

Nice friendly place with good coffee

S.

Brilliant community cafe, has so much going on for all ages/groups Food and drinks are lovely and particularly like the small play area (train table, kitchen, selection of young childrens toy) that keeps little ones entertained whilst you can have a coffee. Staff are very friendly and caring- do a great job

R. S.

Very pleasant relaxed place with lots of seating options - quiet too upstairs for meetings if there are mum's with toys downstairs. Good value cafe ie. 2 bacon rolls n teas for £8.10 ++

P. M.

I attended the Roots Café for a Mindfulness Session for the first time yesterday. I received a warm welcome by the volunteers & the group members. The Mindfulness Session was educational and gave me a warm peaceful feeling. I came away with hope, knowing that with practice I will be able to help myself manage my chronic pain. Sending a huge thank you to everyone. I will be comming back for more.

C. S.

Great service, not expensive like all the chain 'coffee shops'. Perfect for toddlers to have a play on all the toys whilst you can enjoy a coffee. Cakes are lovely too.

L. M.

Such a lovely cafe! The veggie breakfast was very tasty and delicious pancakes. But the best thing was the wonderfully friendly staff and community feeling.
