Real Roots Cafe - Chattanooga

Service and food are really good! Good portions! Updated from previous review on 2023-02-24

I stumbled upon Real Roots Cafe while on a trip to Chattanooga. The food was amazing, tons of vegan options (and quite a few GF options), staff incredibly helpful, and the cafe is super cute! The Buddha bowl was out of this world. I ordered a large and it was a huge, satisfying portion! I couldn’t resist trying the raw brownie batter cheezecake. Updated from previous review on 2022-09-01

Gosh I thought this would be my favorite vegan spot in Chattanooga, but our experience did not meet our expectations. When we first arrived a little after 8 am, we were the only ones there and they didn’t have coffee! as a mom of two toddlers, who does not get much sleep- I expect coffee in a cafe upon arrival or I’m going elsewhere. It did eventually arrive and the latte I ordered was nice. But it did take a while for them to make it and get it to me. I must say the menu did not wow us and there were limiting options for breakfast. They do have some baked goods, the lemon pound cake we tried was yum! And avocado toast which we ordered and smoothies. Those were really the breakfast-y dishes I could find. They all were good, but nothing we don’t usually make ourselves at home. We also ordered another toast, that had balsamic dressing and some feta tofu. For me that’s more of something I’d have for lunch, but we tried it. It was a bit bizarre for me because it had tomatoes and strawberries on it. It was OK. The family who owns/ runs it is very sweet, and they do have outside seating with a little sandbox for children which I very much appreciated. The location is nice too. I hope to come back in a while after they are a bit more established and see if some changes are made. Updated from previous review on 2022-07-07

Service was good, my husband had the quinoa chili I had the seitan rueben. The chili was very good; my reuben was good and manageable to eat not messy. We will go there often very appealing. Updated from previous review on 2022 07 06

They recover here a little bit early and was happy surprised with the amount of options. the food was delicious and fresh. had some problems with the service (missing an item, miscommunication in the kitchen that brought out food), but it was probably just another thing. would definitely be back in chattanooga.
