Insider Tips
Best Time
Weekday mornings for quieter breakfasts; evenings and weekends for live music, open-mic and a livelier crowd
Ideal For
Pro Tip
Ask your server for the kitchen recommendation (pork belly is a frequent pick) and request vegan substitutions or alternative milks—the staff keeps many non-dairy options on hand.
Eat. Drink. Thrive. is the Taproot motto! Serving vegans, vegetarians, carnivores, and gluten-free appetites, they specialize in house-made sauces, veggie patties, rice bowls, brussel sprouts, and loose-leaf teas. This café & lounge is open 7 days a week and has a full breakfast selection, hefty dinner menu, lunch and late-night happy hours, and a full bar for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinkers. Located in an 1800s historic downtown building with a stage that frequently hosts live music and events, Taproot is known for chronically good times.
