Say hello to our NEW cake and sweet treat lineup at Roots:
🍋 Vegan + gluten-free lemon drizzle
🍌 Gluten-free banana bread
🍪 Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies
Proof that gluten-free definitely doesn’t have to mean missing out.
Perfect with your morning coffee, an afternoon pick-me-up or simply because you fancied something sweet. 🤎
Freshly made, so once they’re gone… they’re gone. 👀

“Just a quick coffee” is one of our favourite lies. ☕👀
Especially when there’s a cosy table, something sweet and nowhere better to be. 🍁🍂
Roots it is.

The verdict is in... and Roots have spoken 👀🍴
It’s that time again where we get John & Jodie to taste test the autumn menu before it lands, and honestly? The kitchen team have smashed it, yet again! Winter veg toast, salted caramel pancakes, a seriously good twist on Eggs Benedict, hot honey halloumi, s’mores French toast and a house-made gluten-free banana bread that scored 20/10 (yes, you read that right).
One dish sparked a proper debate on the pass... should the sweet potato hash stay or go? Iain’s made the call already, but of course we still want to know what YOU think 👇
Keep your eyes peeled, the new menu is landing soon and it’s a good one.
Let us know in the comments which dish you’re most excited for?
