Where great coffee meets great company…
Located right on Chesham High Street, Roots café has been a central hub of the community since opening in December 2018. Winning the Best Café in Bucks & Oxon in last year’s Muddy Stilettos Awards and acknowledged by many locals as serving the best coffee in Chesham, Roots has quickly become more than just a place to grab a cup of joe – it’s an experience.
As founder Gosia puts it: “It’s a lifestyle, not just a place.”
An iconic coffee spot
In a world dominated by coffee chains, Roots stands out as a true independent gem. Its fab, central location on Chesham High Street makes it easy to find, and its unique, cosy vibe draws in a crowd of regulars. Whether it’s people seeking a refreshing break from working at home, friends catching up over brunch or professionals having informal meetings, there’s always a lively buzz inside. Roots has even played host to meetings of the Chiltern Creative Network and has become a beloved haunt for local creatives.
Really good coffee
Partnering with Wood St Coffee since day one, Roots offers the highest quality beans, ground fresh to order and brewed to perfection. Every cup promises an exceptional coffee experience, with every sip is as good as the last one, and for those looking for something different, Roots also has a range of herbal teas and soft drinks carefully selected from small, independent businesses.
Really good food
Roots is equally known for its simple, healthy and delicious food and the team are passionate about quality. The menu, brimming with seasonal ingredients and locally sourced products, includes a variety of plant-based and gluten-free options, all freshly made in the Roots Kitchen. Every dish is packed with flavour and thoughtfully prepared.
And did we mention the cakes…
No trip to Roots is complete without trying their signature freshly baked loaves, brownies and pastries. Every morning, these treats – many of which are plant-based and gluten-free – are prepared in-house to ensure they’re as fresh as they are irresistible.
Plant-based vibes
Roots has quickly become a Chesham icon, thanks to its unique feel and the genuine community vibe it offers. The café is always buzzing with activity, and its beautiful, well-tended plants, which adorn the walls, shelves, and tables, add a calming, natural touch to the atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where people linger, whether they’re working, catching up with friends, or simply soaking in the inviting ambiance. Think of it as Chesham’s answer to Kew Gardens – a place where everything, from the coffee to the conversation (and the plants), is tended to with care, and a café worth queuing for!
