Enter now, spread the word, and help us celebrate this milestone birthday Root-style! 🎉🥕🍰

It’s our 15TH BIRTHDAY this coming Sunday, so we’re taking some time to share a into a glimpse of our early days! 📸🥕🔎🗓️

Since opening our doors in 2011, we've welcomed countless patrons from across Arkansas, around the country, and even around the world. We've partnered with farmers, schools, nonprofits, local businesses, and community organizations. We've celebrated milestones, weathered challenges, earned recognition for our commitment to local food, expanded with a second location in Breckenridge Village, and shared thousands of meals along the way.

But more than anything, we've been fortunate enough to be part of your stories. First dates and family traditions. Birthday breakfasts and graduation lunches. Coffee meetings, catch-ups with old friends, celebrations, fundraisers, and everyday moments that became meaningful memories. We've watched children grow up, welcomed new faces to our team, said goodbye to others, and even met a few four-legged friends on the patio!

For 15 years, you've made The Root more than a restaurant. You've made it a community. 🫶

As we celebrate this milestone, we're feeling incredibly grateful for every meal shared, every conversation had, every farmer who supplied our ingredients, every staff member who helped make it happen, and every person who chose to spend part of their day with us!

The weather is warming up & there’s no better place to be than with a cold, refreshing drink under an umbrella! 🍸 Let us serve you today! ✨️👋

🏁 Ready to get a RUNNING start to the weekend? We've got a fun evening ahead right outside our doors!

Join us here in SoMa Little Rock for an evening of local food, live music, and community as the SoMa Main Street Mile races through downtown! Please note that portions of the street will be closed for the event, but The Root Cafe will be staying open an hour later until 9 PM so you can grab dinner, drinks, or dessert before, during, or after the race. 👋

Plus, enjoy live music in our courtyard by Buh Jones from 6:30 PM to 8:45 PM while you soak in the energy of the evening.

Whether you're running, cheering on participants, or just looking for a fun night out in SoMa, we'd love to see you there! ✨️🥕

Calling all of our vegetarian + vegan friends to the front! 📣✨

Y’all need to give our Crispy PBT a try! We’re talking organic pickle brined tofu (PBT!) breaded, fried, & served with sweet pickles, smashed chickpea-parsley salad, & spicy hummus on a Boulevard Bread Company bun for a vegetarian delight! OR sub baguette for a good vegan bite 😎

You can get this sandwich at either lunch or dinner, so make your plans NOW to stop by today!

Let tonight be the night you save room for dessert! 😏

The Blackberry Bread Pudding is warm, rich, and topped with a smooth mojito hard sauce that perfectly complements the blackberry-filled dessert. Find it on the dinner specials menu at both Root locations! 📍🥄

A dinner spread you can ONLY find at our The Root at Breckenridge location! 🔍🥕

This colorful bowl is our Green Gumbo—slow cooked local greens served with Ralston Family Farms rice + purple hull peas (Kornegay Farms), and you can even add some grilled ham to the mix!

Then you've got the Grilled Sweet Potatoes—coconut curried greens, Ralston Family Farms basmati rice, bok choy and spring onion salad! 😋

Come bring your family & friends to try out a farm-to-table dinner in the heart of Little Rock! 🌙

Today is a great day to join us at The Root Cafe! ✨🧡Have you stopped by for a bite lately? Tell us what you ordered! 👋
