Award-Winning Coffee

Using traditional coffee roasting methods from Italy at the turn of the century, Barocco Coffee Company strikes a balance between past traditions and today’s latest advances, while also working with ethical and sustainable farms. The result is an award-winning coffee experience that you don’t want to miss!

Alternative Hot Drinks

Maybe coffee is not your thing. We have you covered with a variety of delightful alternatives. Possibly a chai latte, turmeric latte, beet latte, matcha latte, reishi latte, chaga latte, hot chocolate, medicinal hot chocolate, or one of our many Pluck tea options will do the trick.

Enhanced Smoothie Menu

Our smoothie menu has recently been expanded to include even more healthy options. We now have a number of green smoothies to choose from as well as kid-friendly smoothies, detox drinks and protein shakes. You’ll find something for everyone on our new smoothie menu!

Healthy Treats

We pride ourselves on our extended selection of healthy, gluten-free, vegan treats. Choose from our daily gluten-free muffin options, energy bites, breakfast cookies, chickpea chocolate chip cookies and our new keto fat bombs (also vegan). So delicious! Nut-free options are now available as well.

Freshly Baked Daily

Our croissants and pastries are baked in-house daily, with the exception of our amazing buttertarts which we purchase from a local bakery. Sandwiches, paninis and wraps are lovingly prepared daily, heated on the panini press and served warm.

Supercharged Soups + Salads

Our legendary hearty vegan soups and stews are made in-house with the freshest of ingredients. Soups are seasonal and available fall to early summer. Our selection of the popular healthy Power Bowl Salads are available year-round and are a satisfyingly light but filling option.

Only the Freshest

Tasty Treats + Delicious Meals

At The Roost Café, we offer hot grilled breakfast sandwiches or wraps made fresh and served all day. For a quick-serve option, there are muffins, croissants, breakfast cookies or healthy smoothies to choose from.

Lunch options include a selection of sandwiches on buns, whole grain bread, croissants or wraps, grilled to stay or take it to-go. Gluten-free bread and wraps are available for all sandwiches. In addition, we also prepare fresh, seasonal soups and salads daily. 

Our delectable baked goods are made in-house by our team. We offer a variety of gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, vegan and keto options as well as decadent indulgences.
