Lunch of the Day: Roots Cafe

Tis the season for harvest-inspired recipes, and Roots Cafe does not disappoint. Their immensely satisfying sweet potato soup is just the right mix of sweet and savory, but be sure to save room for desert.

We’re not just talking about the obligatory autumn pumpkin pie, we’re talking pecan pumpkin pie, combining the best of two pies in one and doing a fantastic job of it. Sip a cup of Stumptown Coffee while you munch, and prepare for sweet nirvana.

Roots Cafe is located at 639 5th Avenue. Hours are Monday-Thursday, 6:30am-8pm; Friday, 6:30am-10:30pm; Saturday, 7:30am-8pm; and Sunday, 8:30am-8pm.
