The DaytripperApril 21, 2014Head to the Root Cellar Cafe and Brewery just off the square. Everything on this chef-inspired menu is amazing. I always just go with the special, and I’ve never gone wrong.
Kaylee edwardsNovember 9, 2011If you don't have much of an appetite and have a big sweet tooth, the Baker's Bagel is AMAZING!! Honey cream cheese on a toasted bagel, topped with grilled cinnamon apples. Do it.
Brian FleenorJanuary 7, 2017Great vegetarian options. The black bean burger is delicious. They've got turkey bacon on the menu which is awesome if you're not eating pork.
EmilyJuly 12, 2017Service was a little slow, but everything tastes good and the layout made you feel like you were in a small town gem.
Brittany HighlandFebruary 25, 2015Had such a delicious dinner experience here! Everything was fresh and they were flexible with my substitution request.
Charles ChanceDecember 31, 2012Awesome place... Fresh natural tasty food for the same or less than the chain places... Breakfast is amazing, and the coffee is always great....
HuiyiMarch 17, 2017Came here for both breakfast and dinner. Brazilian French toast was delicious. The pasta that I ordered wasn't that great though.
- The cinnamon rolls are FANTASTIC! Plus they're vegan, too!
Mario GiacaloneSeptember 26, 2012Had a great lunch today our server was on his game ! Had the pulled pork pita was very good loved the mango jalapeño chutney
Max HigginsNovember 11, 2017Easy place to grab great good in a hip atmosphere. Beer awesome food awesome.
Great baked goods with vegan 🌱 options! Worth the price, I promise! 👌🏼- Get the Brazilian French Toast with the berries and whipped cream. SO good!
- Get anything breakfast here! The house made whipped cream is great.
Travis JohnsonNovember 29, 2012This is easily the best food in town. If you live in San Marcos and haven't eaten here, shame on you.
Tortilla Crusted fish was amazing!! Cilantro lime rice and beans were also really good!! :)
Salmon is fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything you order
Everything is great, especially the people. Watching your weight? Try the cherry hazelnut oatmeal. Not so worried about it? Get the Brazilian French Toast.
Elizabeth StoneJanuary 9, 2016Food is very salty. Seasoning was good if you can get past the salt. Portions are average size. Not sure we will be back... It was all just "ok".
- Get the shepherds pie with a fried egg on it and a Pale Rider Darkside. Breakfast of champions.
GabieApril 2, 2011Don't order the Caesar Salad, unless you want a big bowl of spinach with dressing sprinkled on top.
The Thailapia Wrap is the bomb with the kettle chips.
