Thank you for being a friend...

Hello everyone! How many of you started singing the Golden Girls theme song when you read the header...ok, just me? Anyway, I wanted to say a quick thanks to you as a community for your continued support with the cafe. Without you this wouldn't be possible...in fact it'd be pointless...& way less fun. I love this neighborhood & am proud to serve you daily.
I mean seriously,... whats better than having your friends stop by & hang out with you at work? Well...maybe hanging outside of work...but it's still pretty awesome anyway. So on that note, let's all hang together tonight for some live music & good times. As always byob & wine. (If you do...please buy a little something or leave a tip of sorts to help out) I'll be making my sandwiches & coffee throughout the night so come hungry!
 My good buddy Chris Q. Murphy will be hosting the night & playing his own solo set followed by, "For Everst" Music starts up at 8pm sharp!

Back to the Brooklyn "grind"...

 Hey there folks. After a much needed vacation to sweet home Alabama I'm back in Brooklyn and ready to serve you all again at Roots! While I was away my wonderful team kept things going as usual and I can't thank them enough for their loyalty and hard work.
 When my wife and I landed in Birmingham, Al Friday it was a warm 65 degrees followed by temperatures in the 60's and 70's for the next few days. Minus the tornado threat on Saturday I'd have to say this was one of the best trips back home to date.

 Just a quick heads up about this weekend. We have our usual Friday night music starting at 8pm with Kate Miller followed by Zachary Boyce. As always this is a free show with byob  and wine privileges.  We have a few PBRs on hand for "FREE" but we always appreciate a little tip for the gesture.

This weeks ruckus...

Hey there folks. Not too much new to report other than our fun filled Friday nights of music & gathering. Hope you will be a part of it this weekend. Bring a friend. Bring your own beer/wine. Relax. Enjoy the sounds of some great musicians. It's local, organic & fair trade. Ha!...& it's Free!!! We will be open for our usual business of coffee brewin', sandwich pressin' & good vibe makin'. This Friday music starts at 8pm with Patricia Antoine followed by Ninja Tree house.

First art & music happenings of the new year!

Hey all. Just wanted to give you a quick heads up on this weeks events. This month we will be showing the art works of Cute{tastrophe} in collaboration with Diego Fernandez. These are great pieces made up of photo images & mixed media on wood. The official opening is tonight, Thursday, Jan. 5th, 6:30-8pm. Come check it out!

Here's to another year!

Hey folks. The new year is upon us & we are excited to see what it brings for this community of music, art, family & friends at Roots cafe. We are also celebrating another year of serving all of you. As of Dec. 27th, Roots turned 3! It's crazy how time has zoomed by. It's amazing to see what a great family of friends has formed from a tiny little cafe. As cheesy as it may sound, this is how I measure success. Coffee may pay the bills (sometimes) but community is what really keeps this place alive. So thanks to everyone who really understands what we are truly about. We look forward to your continued love & support. Be well, be blessed. See you all soon.

Here's a fun video for you to enjoy! Happy New years everyone!!!!
