Roots Coffee Community in Gloucester

Great cafe, came from Cirencester to come here, really hope it doesn’t close down

Absolutely brilliant people lovely atmosphere and just a brilliant place to work, I love love working here it's such a pleasure 🙏 ☺️it's such a shame that it's going to close down on the 10th Feb 2024😔

Great cafe and refill store behind, inc accessible entrance to cafe. Friendly, helpful service, vegan food and drinks available, the mushroom soup was divine - gutted to hear their future is so uncertain. Good accessible toilet. Stairs and lift up to community hall, only issues was the worktop for the kitchenette was really sticky asking the edge. Great range of stock in the refill store, everything from dry groceries, tea, locally roasted ethical coffee (inc decaf!), flour, rice, pasta, sugar, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, sweets, personal hygiene, toiletries, gifts, laundry & cleaning products, candles, reusable chill packs for bumps and grazes. Prices are reasonable too. Will definitely be coming back!

Online says brunch ends 11.30 Arrived at 11.25 Sunday for brunch told too late to have brunch nothing left!! Drove 30 minutes especially for brunch Would not serve us it Avoid!

Really sorry to learn Root's is closing, another victim of the parking permits scandal. I feel particularly sad for Beth who when shes there, makes a difference to my day.

It is a special place not only for its magnificent food but also because it is a space for social gatherings. Conversation is part of the menu. A place that serves the community

Excellent place to shop, very pleased

A great Community Cafe where the combination of simple good food, good prices, warm , clean and safe comfortable environment for anyone and everyone is a credit to our Community. A hub for local groups and gatherings, well stocked reading and games area, immaculately clean ....immaculately clean..what more is there to say? Big hearted lovely people and, not forgetting their coffee which is fab! Xx

Nice independent coffee shop, we had coffee and cake. Good value, friendly staff. Also zero waste shop attached with loads of great products.

I love this place - good food and great prices and a real sense of community. They even have a plastic free shop out the back!

Lovely friendly, relaxed cafe and everything is delicious. I've been with friends, with the kids and am happy enough to visit when I'm on my own too. Great ethics and community spirit too x

Lovely place and great activities

I had the delicious lunchtime special of a fish finger sandwich with a tasty gherkin dressing. Excellent all round! Clean loo too!

Went to the tiny tots group. Was very uncomfortable and awkward. Very limited toys and things to do for the little ones. The people running it seemed nice. But unfortunately the atmosphere has put me off going back again. Would not recommend.

Had Saturday breakfast. It was OK. Reasonably priced with a wide choice of Coffee's and tea's.

A LOVELY PLACE, TO SIT IN PEACE AND QUIET TO HAVE A MEAL OR FOOD AND A DRINK. THERE IS ALSO A SHOP AT THE REAR TOO.

Great Community Cafe and more....Fabulous service, great well priced food, immaculately clean and welcoming. Discovered three months after moving to Gloucester and is now one of our favourite places. Everyone welcome and made to feel so. Definitely the best coffee in Gloucester that we have found!! Thank you x

Wonderful welcome and delicious panini!

Top notch. One of my favourite places in Gloucester. Amazing staff, brilliant service, lovely food with loads of vegetarian options and an amazing idea to have a kindness board to help those in need/hungry! More places like this should exist - if you're in Gloucester, check out the food and coffee, it's one of my favourite places to go!

Absolutely amazing staff, brilliant service, awesome food and such a great idea to have a kindness board to help those in need. More places like this should exist - if you're in Gloucester, check out the food and coffee, it's a lovely place!

Friendly place to meet with others, and share refreshments. Quieter upstairs.

Lovely friendly welcome at this immaculate Community Cafe. Delicious EA Coffee (Ethical Addiction) and great brownie and flapjack. Will definitely revisit with my friend and children. Well priced and Menu looks simple and tasty! Thank you!

This is a lovely place but we will not be coming back. Today a friend and I ordered two babycinos for two toddlers and they were given to us boiling, scolding hot!!! Of course, we are the parents, we should have checked before a two year old picked it up, tried to drink it and spilled it onto her jumper (thankfully it didn't soak onto her skin) but regardless, this is not a temperature you serve an obvious babycino at to a toddler and it is a mistake we will not forget.

Lovely cafe with friendly helpful staff, plus excellent coffee and homemade food.

Was early for a meeting - on purpose so I could have lunch here. Had a wonderful Brie'n'bacon panini, plenty of tasty filling and perfectly crispy roll. And a decent strong coffee too.

Autumnal Latte to go! Perfect Friday morning treat after school run. Lovely atmosphere in Roots, staff welcoming and polite.

Lovely coffee, really friendly staff and a social enterprise serving great food. Well done Roots. We will 100% be back. ❤️

Forget your chains… Costa, Starbucks etc. pay a visit to Roots. Lots to choose from on the menu and very friendly staff. Loved it ❤️

Really nice community atmosphere, games and books to borrow, play or read. Rentable space for groups to have a day of fun.

Delicious bacon sandwich and coffee. Nice relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a catch up with family.

Lovely Rhubarb smoothie 😋 will be back soon

Nice friendly place with good coffee

Disappointed with my jacket potato Tasted so plain and cold cheese on top. Not sure if I would eat here again.

A nice cup of coffee and a sweet treat!

Lovely, lovely place. Delicious food and such great value.

Fantastic coffee and great food

Rustic and easy with an amazing range of badic drinks and food

A lovely, spacious coffeeshop with good food and drink, a short distance from the centre of Gloucester. There is a small play area and a community room for hire. It's a great place to meet.

Top cafe. Nice good at a good price. Comfortable & clean. Pleasant staff

Lovely spacious cafe recommended by the hub, food not hot but acceptable. Pleasant staff and good prices!

Love this place, they make you so welcome.

Very good coffee. Nice crew. See you soon 👍👍

Amazing coffee, friendly staff- perfect study spot as a student!

Lovely little coffee shop with very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely recommend

Please use this great cafe, the staff and food are great!

Great service and freshly cooked food.

I haven't been there for a coupe years. Nice to see it is still open and provide the same community feel, fantastic beverages and warm friendly service.

Closed when they said they'd be open! Disappointing as I was hoping to avoid the chains

Lovely little community café... Really nice vibe in here. They do a scheme where you can donate your free loyalty card coffee or buy a voucher for their notice board to help someone who may just need a free hot drink or some food! Hopefully those in need know about this great idea!

Great coffee, cake and friendly staff.

Excellent! Home made food and good value for money. Plenty of space and a good selection of food and drinks.

Amazing community place! We love it, can't wait to bring the kids back

Lovely staff and a friendly place, good service also x

Just a nice and cosy community cafe with a nice atmosphere. The fried egg bap is brilliant and great hunger filler! The prices are slightly pricey but that’s to be expected with a small community cafe. Keep it up!

Aly and the team are doing a fantastic job organising food deliveries for the needy.

Relaxing ! Had a lovely coffee with a Rosetta on top. Staff welcoming and friendly.

Friendly little cafe tucked away

Great local cafe supporting local people

My 1st visit in 6 months. Staff were lovely as ever, all covid changes done. Felt really safe. So glad to be back.

Great place, great staff, great coffee

Cafe currently acting as the base for the Feed the 5000 project. Doing Excellent work for the community.

Absolutely love this place......staff are so helpful and kind.....they don't mind if you stay for just a coffee or you stay for a couple of hours.....food is fab.....all homemade.... quite a basic menu, breakfast menu or sandwiches, toasties, panini's, soup, bacon or sausage rolls plus plenty of cakes, what you get is delicious.... everything is made to order so you know it's going to be fresh. I would say if you happen to pass this place pop in for a coffee and something to eat. I promise you won't be be disappointed

Lovely food, atmosphere and people, great value too

Lovely place to come and sit down with a coffe and relax

Reasonable prices, friendly staff, nice food. Play area for kids

I attended the Roots Café for a Mindfulness Session for the first time yesterday. I received a warm welcome by the volunteers & the group members. The Mindfulness Session was educational and gave me a warm peaceful feeling. I came away with hope, knowing that with practice I will be able to help myself manage my chronic pain. Sending a huge thank you to everyone. I will be comming back for more.

Always good quality food and always friendly

Staff are so friendly. Service is excellent and there is a homely atmosphere to enjoy

Lovely little cafe, quick service and simple food done well.

Pretty cafe with a great atmosphere, local vibes and most importantly, very sustainable and environment friendly! Really good ethically sourced coffee and some fantastic food. A rare find, thank you for making my morning awesome! 😁

Cheerful friendly community cafe with lovely atmosphere. Lots of menu choices and vegetarian options and delicious home cooking.

Totally love this place. Great Coffee good food and s fantastic menu. They do do much for the local community as well. Highly recommended.

Nice place, friendly staff, good coffee

Always a good place to meet friends and to people watch

Fantastic cafe. Service excellent. Meant to put 5 stars on review. Much better to spend money here rather than Costa or starbucks

Only had a sandwich and coffee here but bth were excellent and service very friendly. Well worth a visit

Nice atmosphere with great coffee.

Delicious & welcoming. Loads of events advertised. Very good coffee!

Lovely friendly atmosphere and the spinach quiche with homemade coleslaw was amazing!

Lovely chill out zone and create coffee

I’ve had good coffee here a few times. Today I tried a toastie. I’m happy to say it was as good as a homemade one.

Very friendly staff lovely facilities reasonable prices and availability

Love this gorgeous community cafe, ethical coffee, lots of community groups, fantastic menu. Just brilliant.

Lovely. Such a lovely place to have a coffee and cake. The downstairs is spacious, open and airy and the upstairs is quieter with books you can borrow. So many events are held at Roots also, which i keep meaning to get involved in. A wonderful place run by wonderful people. I would highly suggest popping in if you're local.

I just had one of the best breakfast baps ever!

Awesome community cafe - lovely bacon and eggs, amazing lattes, comfy sofas upstairs, polite staff. Love it!

This is a great community cafe! I had the coronation chicken sandwich one day and bacon sandwich another day, both were great and the coffee was excellent. It’s always a fun and lively environment. My only gripe would be a few more cake options, rather than all slices and scones, might be nice as sometimes only cake will do!

Great little community coffee shop, and do great breakfasts amongst other things. Children love the milkshakes 👍

Such a lovely cafe! The veggie breakfast was very tasty and delicious pancakes. But the best thing was the wonderfully friendly staff and community feeling.

Love this place. Staff are friendly. Really busy but fab energy. Really recommended. Have also done yoga here and lived it!

Good community center but not the friendliest service or tastiest food

Was really good food nice and people friendly

Good place to meet for personal & business meetings.

Friendly and welcoming. Great place for a sit down and read to catch up with friends. Very child friendly with toys games and books for children of all ages. Would highly recommend a visit.

Relaxed atmosphere, delicious cakes, really friendly staff! Would definitely go back!

Roots is a wonderful local family cafe.

A great place to enjoy a quality, fairly traded coffee, and the best chocolate brownies! Lovely staff. It is located in a less salubrious area of Gloucester, but just like The Sherbourne Cinema, for example, is quite unpretentiously one of Gloucester's several hidden gems!

Cheerful local café with a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of room on the ground floor, including a small play area for little ones. There's additional seating upstairs with a selection of books for all ages. The events room for hire is big enough for a large meeting or kids' party. The menu is simple but the food quality is high: cakes and coffee are particularly good. The presentation is as good as any coffee shop chain. Prices are very reasonable too. All the staff are always helpful and cheerful.

Great cafe, lovely staff and a brilliant, accessible meeting room.

Nice staff nice shop good food and drinks
