Siobhán • June 23, 2018Had a great time for a group outing with the staff friendly and attentive and the space absolutely amazing and on theme.

Sage • September 6, 2014Any of the pies are great, but they're best known for their salted caramel apple pie.

Victor C. • February 20, 2017super cute brand new spot in the neighborhood. It's a tea/coffee house slash event/art space. Order the banana milk coffee 👌🇯🇵

Rachel Slurs • July 7, 2020Really great sushi. Love the presentation too.

Nicole R. • September 5, 2015This place is great! A little pricey and the pasta portions are a little small, but the wait staff was friendly and attentive. The rigatoni alla vodka is amazing!!!!

Tessa B. • January 14, 2018Tea for two. Great friendly bartenders. Cheesy cauliflower and tortilla Española are yummy bar snacks

Peter C. • January 30, 2023The best shop in a mile radius or so, it’s a throwback in the best way to a time before everything was so contrived. That’s not to say it isn’t professional- this is a top notch multiroaster shop.

IrmaZandl Z. • November 6, 2016Cool local bar. Not fancy but very chill vibe, good prices and excellent cocktails

Tanya • October 14, 2022Flourless kitchen and all dishes were amazing

Peter C. • August 12, 2014Best croissants aux Amandes in NYC. All other pastries are great too as is the bread. Lunch sandwiches rule as does the spicy hummus.

J. L. • May 6, 2015Like most places in the area, this cafe EXPLODES w/obnoxious kids & parents near 3pm—but before then, Root Hill remains a reliable source of tasty coffee, cozy work nooks & friendly faces. Recommended

Christina C. • June 8, 2014The brisket is super moist & delicious!
