Choose the drink category deliberately

The menu lists drip coffee, espresso drinks and cold brew alongside tea, kava, kratom and other infused categories. A familiar café drink name does not describe every possible add-on. If you want ordinary coffee or tea, order that specifically and ask what is included.

The upstairs area is part of the draw

The venue describes almost 3,000 square feet for meeting, working and socializing, with stairs reached through a vintage telephone booth. The upstairs patio overlooks Central Avenue. Its location page also welcomes dogs. Contact the venue for access or seating details that matter to your visit.

Compare it with nearby café formats

Intermezzo combines coffee and alcoholic cocktails, while Pure Green focuses on juice and smoothies. Those make useful comparisons for a group deciding what “a drink” should mean. Grassroots’ botanical-bar format is a distinct choice rather than a synonym for a standard café.
