Ordered the $5 egg and cheddar and was merrily surprised at the generous size! Pleasant service and lightning fast cooking.
I checked this place out and liked it before pandemic, but it’s rather far from where I live so I haven’t ventured out until today. I’m so glad it’s still here, and the price hasn’t changed too much. The big gripe I have about Tallahassee restaurants is that things are not cheap (easily can send $15 for lunch anywhere) AND bad. So many places serve below mediocre food (that tastes like heated up frozen food or something made by someone who doesn’t know how to cook..or too gooey, too sweet, etc.) at over $10-12 range. This place is a simple sandwich and salad place, and they have them at $8-9 range. I’ve tried “Jammy” before pandemic and today I tried the bacon egg cheese sandwich with added avocado. It was simple but very good- perfectly griddled bread with good ingredients, not overly greasy or salty. Also they have pretty decent coffee! (Another thing missing from so many restaurants in town) They use Lucky goat beans and have an espresso machine. It seems they are understaffed, but they’re friendly.
I wish it was closer or open on the weekend! I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a simple, good lunch and good coffee.
The last time I went to Freshroots Kitchen was probably like 8-10 years ago. And then I accidentally never went back, mainly because that's not my normal side of town. However, my 5-year-old requested a cute cafe for breakfast on our day together during spring break, so we ended up here, and I absolutely LOVED it. She got a bacon, egg & cheese sandwich, and she loved it, but it was so big she could only eat half. (We saved the other half and she had it for lunch.) I got the avocado, egg & cheese with the bacon jam, and WOW. Literally, the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. The bacon jam was phenomenal, with just a tiny kick to it. My only wish was for more avocado (it was just one small slice per half), and that they would have mashed & spread it out (which I did end up doing myself). Still incredible though. I will make sure not to wait so long to go back again in the future!
