Wow what a treat this place is. Visited with friends for a (hungover) brunch, it was busy but we were seated outside in the heated area to wait, and still had our drinks orders taken outside by a lovely member of staff. We ordered food & it arrived much quicker than I was expecting given how busy it was (11:30 on a Sunday). I had the 'fry up' my friend had the vegan version and the other poached eggs on toast. I can honestly say the sausages were the nicest ones I've ever had in my life! I would love to know their provider because they were incredible. Whole plate was lovely, beans seemed Homemade too.Friends meals looked just as good but I would say 1 slice of toast for a £9.50 egg dish seemed a bit stingy... and we were told toast was optional for our fry ups, I didn't realise it meant extra charge, so it meant it cost £15 total! (I think). That would be my own downside to this place, it is a 1 off treat, I know Upminster is expensive but £20 for breakfast is a lot.Staff were lovely, drinks were lovely, decor was lovely, would recommend for a weekend treat, and would love to return to try the evening pizza offerings!Vegetarian options: Vegan fry up, vegan and gluten free pancakes, other options too.

Culinary artistry at its finest! The diverse menu is a celebration of flavors, and the staff's dedication to excellence shines through.

Lovely place to chill and have a catch up and great food options. If you on the low fodmap diet though we can only eat the pancakes which is a shame because the rest of the food looks amazing. Check out my tiktok What'sVidhyaeating for the full review. I would recommend if you are gluten free and dairy free only as the food is amazing! Just wish we could have more options part from pancakes

Lovely little place, we attended for a girly brunch and food was lovely! A few more vegan options would be nice however what we did have was tasty! Staff were lovely and nice atmosphere. We will be definitely return.

The food here is awesome but the service? Not so hot. It's all over the place—sometimes you can order ahead, other times they can’t. And don't get me started on the cocktail glasses. They'll serve it in a smaller one, and if you ask for the usual bigger glass, they'll act like it's mission impossible. Communication? Yeah, that's a bit of a mess too. They could definitely step up their game and make this spot even better. Also they have a lot of young girls that work there that stare a lot, which can make me feel uncomfortable & I’m not sure what the reason is; it actually comes across as rude.

Always busy on Sundays but Worth the wait.Parking: Difficult to find parking as roots is on a main road but is available if you look.Kid-friendliness: A nice menu for children and a nice atmosphere
Amazing visit. 1st time here but I can tell you defo not our last. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming as was the host. The pizza were truly amazing, a d on par with anything on Italy. Had the great experience of watching the Chef create new dough starter, for the 16hr fermentation which give the dough and crust an amazing flavour. Do your selva a cheap favour and get here on a Wednesday, 2-4-1 on eat in pizza that will blow your taste buds! Well done John and Chef, great evening. Thanks.

Great place for a vegan breakfast! The acai smoothie bowl and the vegan fry up are delicious. I had a great oat macha latte too!

We went for a meal Saturday evening when the venue serves pizza. The pizzas were delicious - sourdough and much better than a major high street competitor! The atmosphere was what made the evening - there was live jazz style music from a 4 piece - not too loud - set a perfect atmosphere and really made the evening. Would highly recommend and we will return.
