Rooted Coffee Co — Restaurant in Pleasant Hill

Excellent Bay Area specialty coffee with vegan food menu and enjoyable for anyone! The coffee menu had a handful of creative and tasteful signature drinks along with the classics. While in line I heard someone ask if the drinks were sweet and they kindly said “not St4rbux sweet” which is a green flag for sure to anyone who really knows coffee. They also offered that customer to make their drink less sweet if they were worried. I had my go-to iced americano to see how good their espresso shots taste since I was sure they were doing something right with so many other good reviews and my experience up to that point. The good vibes were there before I even ordered and that coffee hit too! The Avocado toast is on the fluffiest freshest bread with some sprinkled hemp seeds and chili flakes. I also opted for some chili oil and loved it! Super friendly service and a wait time that was indicative of the care they put into each order without having to wait too long! I wish I lived around here cause it seems like THE local community coffee spot I would be...

The coffee is decent, they will overcharge you even when you order on the menu, my menu drink was listed at $5.75 but they added extra syrups charges on all our drinks even though we ordered it direct from the menu no changes. skip all the food unless you don't mind overpaying for small portions of food and waffles that come out of the same $10 krusteaz waffle iron you have at home. Among the other things ordered was the BP and nana which is supposed to be peanut butter with bananas and a agave syrup on some fresh bread what you really get is a small piece of bread and some peanuty syrup drizzled on your bread with a few banana slices. My wife got the hummus toast and it was terrible.

The service is also slow and when it's busy they will take orders from people behind you when you are at the register and when it's the same day they choose to train a cashier that means you'll have people waiting behind you get their drinks way before you.

Two coffees and two toast will set you back $30, hard pass on...

These are some of the nicest people I have ever met! My sister and I had no cell service when getting off the Bart in pleasant hill and had no way of calling an Uber or Lyft like we usually do to get to school. We decided to walk instead of sitting around and because we are not familiar with the area we were completely lost. After about 2 hours of walking in the pouring rain and asking a couple people for directions, we eventually found ourselves at the Rooted cafe. We were both nervous to ask for a phone but found the courage to do so and when we did, we got much more then just a call. Instead of alarming our mother and having her hassle to come and get us to take us to school the wonderful employees there offered to give us a ride! They were the most down to earth helpful beings anyone could ask for and I advise anyone considering stopping there to definitely give it a shot!!! I cannot thank them enough for their help and although this yelp review might not be seen by them, I just wanted to...
