Tastes of the Season at Root Cafe
At Root, one of our four key pillars of health is food. It’s no secret that food is medicine– what you feed your body has a huge impact on your overall health and happiness. Our NW cafe offers an array of dishes can be prepared vegan, gluten-free or you can add a protein such as meat or eggs.
All dishes feature fresh and locally-sourced ingredients, selected for highest-quality, nutrition and flavor. Summer is a wonderful time for Portland farms, and with so many seasonal flavors to enjoy, our Cafe staff has done an amazing job incorporating these tastes of the season into a few special dishes!
