Nanaimo
It’s a delightful treat that embodies three distinct layers. Imagine a crumbly base, rich with cocoa, sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and shredded coconut.
Seattle Night
The velvety sweetness of custard sauce intertwines harmoniously with the caramelized cheese.
Apple Pie
Pair it with a cup of milk tea, and you’ve got the ultimate afternoon treat! The aromatic blend of cinnamon and apple pie is a match made in heaven. Take a bite, and you’ll be greeted with a delightful mix of sweet and tangy flavors.
Parmesan Cheese
Perfect for those who adore fresh cheese and indulgent desserts.
Boston Cream Pie
Light, tender, and fluffy texture that melts in your mouth. Each bite of this Boston Cream Pie carries a sense of happiness and soothing comfort.
Basque Burnt Cheesecake (on the right)
Did you think this was intentionally charred? Wrong! The hallmark of Basque cheesecake is its beautifully caramelized surface! Originating from Spain’s Basque region, this dessert caused quite a sensation in Tokyo a few years back, with people lining up to get a taste.
At Roots Café, you can experience a cozy ‘home away from home’ ambiance. The brand’s spirit of ‘relaxation, naturalness, and vitality’ infuses the interior, where warm wooden decor sets the tone. The lighting, too, bathes the space in soothing warm hues.
The original intention behind opening this establishment was to provide consumers with a place where they could enjoy delicious food and relax during their shopping excursions.
In the heart of the store, an array of merchandise awaits, encompassing everything from clothing and food to entertainment. Additionally, you’ll find a charming Lodge model, inspired by the concept of Canadian countryside retreats, along with delightful dolls.
These everyday essentials include coasters, bottle openers, glass storage jars, and coffee cups. They truly embody the brand spirit of Lifestyle, showcasing an exclusive ‘Canadian flair’ in their original and timeless style.
Arriving here, I simply wants to release the frantic pace, and in that instant, the tense nerves loosen. Unexpectedly, amidst this urban jungle, there lies a tranquil oasis—a place for a leisurely stroll.
The interior design of this space is anchored in warm wooden decor, exuding an authentic and unadulterated Canadian “Maple Charm”—a cozy, laid-back North American countryside style that instantly makes guests feel right at home.
Carefully examining these leather sofa chairs, I discovers that they are authentic Canadian imports, crafted by Roots in pure hand-stitched leather. Seated here, encircling a wooden square table, sipping coffee and indulging in pancakes, the ambiance and delectable food warm the heart.
Seizing the lull before meal deliveries, take a moment to appreciate this expanse of wooden shelving. These products serve a dual purpose: ornamentation and potential sales.
From the very beginning, we secured this exclusive sea-view booth along Ren’ai Road. Seated by the lush, verdant window, one can unwind naturally, feeling the vibrant energy of this serene, green oasis.
The menu, meticulously crafted by the head chef, is worth exploring. Take a look!
For our appetizers, we ordered a serving of truffle fries
Paired with the zesty, sweet, and savory flavors, we have the crispy calamari Caesar salad.
Smoked Chicken and Pumpkin Velouté:
The warmth allows the cream atop the bowl to slowly meld into the soup. Be sure to savor it while it’s piping hot.
In the soup, we can still savor an abundance of tender shredded chicken.
The head chef’s Canadian-inspired Bolognese meatball pasta is a flavor-packed delight. Slow-cooked beef meatballs, tender and savory, swim in a sweet broth with diced onions and tomatoes. Topped generously with gooey cheese, it’s a timeless classic.
Don’t miss out on the delectable and nutritious Truffle Wild Mushroom and Smoked Chicken Pie.
Here, we exclusively use Canadian Second Cup coffee beans to create an array of delicious and rich coffees and teas. Take a sip of our authentic Iced Latte, and feel the refreshing coolness.
The classic hot latte is a must-try favorite, and every server here is skilled at latte art. In Canada, the ratio of milk to coffee in a latte is 4:6.
They now offer a delightful combination of light fare, including scones, pastries, and sandwiches. One standout item is the peanut marshmallow pancake, which features a touch of maple syrup for an extra layer of sweetness.”
Not to mention the irresistible allure of this scoop of vanilla ice cream paired with a chocolate-filled croissant – a double temptation!
Occasionally, let life grant you a moment of serene leisure! Next time you pass by the Roots café on the second floor at the Ren’ai Road roundabout in Taipei, why not treat yourself to a cup of coffee?
