Root Hill Cafe
Mainly a Coffee shop placeAbout Root Hill Cafe:
Daytime cafe offering breakfast dishes along with assorted pastries, sandwiches & salads.
Yummy food and great service. Ask for a customized meal and they will prepare it for you!
Small and friendly. They are mostly a coffee shop with a limited menu. Had the avocado toast which was excellent, although it took a while for it to be made. The hostess was quick to speed it along. Definitely worth a visit. Hint: if you need a plug to charge your phone (like it did), sit on the wall.
Food was delicious and very friendly service. A nice atmosphere to hangout in and get some work done as well. They did slightly mess my order up and forgot a few items but they quickly got them over to me. I would recommend checking your order if you added extras on it just to make sure you received everything you ordered.
One of our go-to breakfast sandwiches in the neighborhood. But, I suggest calling in your order if possible because the service is consistently slow. For any parents reading this, also know that the layout of the cafe is not very stroller friendly.
I loved going to Root Hill - nice folks, good coffee and food, right around the block from my subway station. Sounds perfect! Except... Their service can be unreasonably slow. I left this morning after paying (and tipping!) because my coffee took over 15 min to prepare and I missed my train (and it wasn't terribly busy). Hope they start prioritizing speed of service a bit more here.
Food is good, atmosphere welcoming, staff is nice. Giving three stars though because of how consistently slow the service is. For simple orders like a coffee or bagel it routinely takes an inordinate amount of time; literally 5x as long as a comparable shop. I live nearby and have stopped doing pop-ins here because it takes so long (even when I am the only customer). Easier to go somewhere else or make at home. The quality is good, but if you're on the move not worth the extensive wait. Best suited for a lazy weekend morning
Love, love, love! Amazing gluten-free gf options. Incredible baked goods, pastries & coffee. BEST casual breakfast in Park Slope!
I'm slowly becoming a breakfast sandwich and chai latte aficionado. We found this lovely place on an early Sunday morning. It wasn't too busy or too crowded. There were a few folks sitting inside and outside the cafe. We opted to take our order to go since it was raining. The egg and cheese sandwich on a brioche bun is tasty. My sandwich was hot, cheesy, and coupled with the best fluffy eggs. The chai latte had great flavor too. This quaint space was designed for mingling, so I suggest hanging out for a bit. They've got a deep menu, so we'll be back to visit.
