Description

Sure, coffee is a staple for those looking to get some work done fast. But for lower-key job duties or term papers, sometimes you just want a pint. When you want to do some less high-maintenance thinking, Common Roots Cafe fulfills those needs. A cute spot with community in mind, the new-ish place serves up pints of Surly Furious and Bender, as well as other organic and/or local beers-or order some fair trade wine, if that's the way you roll. Also on the menu are tasty coffees and teas, sandwiches (try marinated tempeh with basil tofu spread if it's available), bagels, and other baked goods (some even vegan). Added bonus: When they can, Common Roots buyers purchase goods from local farmers. So sit back and enjoy the free WiFi-it's time to do some drinking and thinking.

  • 2011 | Best Bagels

    The bagels at Common Roots Café in Uptown are completely straightforward: Your choices are limited to popular standards like plain, sesame, onion, whole wheat, and poppy seed--no bells, no whistles. That simplicity lets the locally sourced ingredients shine through: whole grains from Whole Grain Milling, honey from Ames Farm Limited, malt powder that crosses the border from Wisconsin. All those parts come together as the bagels are hand-rolled and boiled into endearingly... More »

  • 2010 | BEST BAGEL

    You know that thing dogs do when they get their jaws around their favorite toy, how they shake it and wrestle with it and in general look like they're having the best time ever? Eating a bagel from Common Roots is kind of like that. There's something sort of carnal about the whole experience, but that's part of what makes it so satisfying. You have to tug and contort, and your jaw might be a little sore later, but it was all just so enjoyable and tasty you'd do it all over again, in another... More »

  • 2009 | Best Bagels

    You can tell when a bagel was made with love--and when its creators want you to love it as much as they do. Carefully hand-sculpting these golden rings of yeasty dough has to be almost an intimate act in order to secure a perfectly crusted outside and chewy inside lightly peppered with air pockets. Common Roots is committed to fair-trade, organic, and sustainable ingredients whenever possible. Its flour and honey come from a Minnesota mill and farm, and the malt powder travels from only...

  • 2009 | Best Wi-Fi Cafe

    As anyone who saves $60 a month stealing their internet connection will tell you, Wi-Fi hot spots are a dime a dozen. However, for those of us still unable to crack into our neighbor's connection, Common Roots Cafe is a great place to enjoy the bounties of the internet. In the evenings, the place has a casual work/study vibe, with plenty of tea, free-trade coffee, wine, and beer to get the creative juices flowing. Even better, unlike many coffee shops that offer rock-hard cookies and stale... More »
