I love the vibe and decor in this place. It has a small neighborhood feel which is hard to find in downtown Chicago. One thing that is awesome is the way they give you your receipt. It always comes in a vintage cookbook (pictured above). How cool is that? The light fixtures always catch my attention – I need some of those in my place!
Now let’s talk about the food! I’m normally not a big latte fan, I find that they are too sweet. Local Root 100% changed my opinion. They made me a pumpkin spice latte, made in house with real pumpkin. It was SOOO good. I recently went in there last week and they had a mint one which was equally as delicious. I love the fact that they are always coming up with new flavors and everything is done in house. All of the croissants and pastries are made fresh every morning
