Roots Café — Restaurant in Amherst

edit new school year. NO IMPROVEMENTS. I've had my best friend end up in the bathroom all night after eating here. I seriously question the sanitary conditions of this cafe.

If you ever find yourself needing caffeine or a sweet treat while in Noho, I highly...

Horrible. They always close the espresso/ice coffee super early every day and there a lot of students who would like caffeine to sustain them during the evening, especially during midterm and final season. Lattes literally take a minute to make, its not even hard labor so I don't understand why they close it early every single night. Can you guys at least make it known what time coffee closes if you don't have any baristas because the inconsistency is...
