Overview

Established in 2011. The Root Cafe is an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant. Our mission is to build community through local food. We seek to foster a sense of connectedness among the individuals, families, organizations, and businesses of central Arkansas by offering a focal point for sustainable activities in the area. We have delicious burgers & brats, fries & sweet-potato fries, sandwiches, soups, salads, homemade baked goods, and seasonal specials that all feature fresh ingredients sourced from local farmers, as well as locally roasted coffees and the best of Arkansas beer. We have lots of delicious options for vegetarians and vegans like a shiitake mushroom burger and a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. We have an incredible breakfast and brunch menu, too, which includes our Root Benny, fluffy buttermilk pancakes with real maple syrup, and our hard to beat homemade buttermilk biscuits with real-deal sausage gravy. At The Root, we also host a range of activities from workshops, classes, and speakers to music events, pot-luck parties, and hot-pepper and beard-growing contests. Through food, education, and community, The Root Cafe is striving to make Little Rock a better place to live by helping to create a more just, sustainable, and delicious food system for central Arkansas.
