    If you are a keen coffee enthusiast you need to try Root's wonderful roasted coffees. The coffee is nothing short of excellent.

    My favourite coffee shop in George. It is everything a coffee shop should be - it is small and cosy, the baristas are fun and quirky, and the coffee is absolutely fantastic. The Amsterdamer and the almond shortbread is an absolute must. It is conveniently close to Knysna Way, so it is really nice for quick coffee takeaways.

    Best service, best coffee.!!! Guess it goes hand in hand. :) Thank you Roots team for your friendly morning smiles and roasted java. My purchase to take home is certainly not the same when freshly brewed and bought in store. (No smiles here. Lol!) Much appreciated! Keep it up!

    -Excellent Staff! -Best coffee in town! -Best baked cheese cake, hands down! Area of improvement: Standardise the consistency of cake slices/size. Some days are better than others, this will manage expectations.

  • 3/5 Francesca G. 1 year ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Nice coffee and sweet treats. Also very nice and friendly staff. If you're a coofee fanatic, this is your place. It's on the road in a sort of open air mall, so location is not great.

    I always order the red cappucino - it is definitely the best red cappucino you will get. I just love the atmosphere and you can sit and chat as long as you want and just catch up with friends or family. The Root has very friendly staff members that really makes you feel welcome and at home.

  • 4/5 Kayleigh T. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely spot with friendly staff. It would be nice to have coffee served in a mug instead of a takeaway cup when sitting, for environmental reasons. Maybe there was some miscommunication, but I noticed a lot of people sitting down with takeaway cups. They should only be used for taking away to eliminate unnecessary waste. There was also someone smoking nearby which made it a bit unpleasant.

  • 5/5 Feroze S. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent coffee, awesome service and friendly staff. Probably one of the best cappuccinos I've had. Ended up. Buying 3 packs of beans - the staff thought I had come back to complain and were hysterical 😂. Thanks

  • 4/5 Johan H. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a cupachino. It was so good, I almost had another one! Their carrot cake is delicious and worth the try. I would prefer them to any of the normal franchise coffee shops. Parking is not a problem and you can even meet businesses partners here. Their service is excellent and comes with at smile.

  • 5/5 Liane Van Z. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't have enough words to describe how much I love Root Coffee. The most wonderful people, amazing service and fragrant coffee. And the fact they are also always trying to promote local products and they encourage environmental sustainability are just cherries on the cake.... or rather, creamy foam on the cappuccino ;)
