The Root Note has the best mochas I have ever had.

The best crepes ever. Super healthy options and dessert options too. This was a great stopping point on our way from Chicago to MN. Short walk to river with neat artwork along the way.

Crepes are great! My girlfriend and I go here weekends mornings and play cards while waiting for crepes and tea. Also great study atmosphere for students.

Fantastic hang! Whether having a meeting, listening to live music or just trying to get work done...this little cafe is a true local gem! And the food? Wonderful and just off-center enough to be unique! Oh...and the salads are made with clearly fresh ingredients. I love how intimate this place is and still tell my guests not to miss this gem! Thanks for being my office away from home!

Hip coffeeshop with light vegetarian fare, loud music, and lots of students. The menu is short, consisting of crêpes, soup, salad, granola, coffee, tea, beer, and cider. I love that it’s so local/organic/fair-trade focused. Haven’t been here for a show but hear the live music is great.

We stopped in here for breakfast while staying downtown. The service was pretty good, but the food was just ok. The crepes had kind of a plastic-y texture, but the fillings were good. My wife said the black coffee of the day was pretty bitter, but I did enjoy my hot cocoa. Overall, it was ok, but probably would not return for breakfast (although it looked like a fun place to see some live music!).

I love the casual and rooty feel of the coffee crepe cave. It has all the essentials. Drinks, foodies, live music, chili, a creative work space and more! Do not expect fast service. Good things take time!

Its cute and a very relaxed atmosphere. Service is friendly. Chai latte weak on spice. Maple latte pretty yummy. Crepes are average. Berry crepe with heavily sweetened frozen berries was a bit of a let down. Mushrooms in the savory crepe we had were well cooked and tasty. Good place to do a bit of work and enjoy a casual breakfast

Adorable! Absolutely amazing crepes and their coffee is wonderful. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. We were only visiting that area but if we ever go back I know where to get breakfast

Amazing chilly. Workers are cool and nice. Open mic is a good time. Bring your friends.

I like this place. Cozy and unpretentious. And great savory crepes; at least The Cremlin, for sure, is extremely tasty.

Get the cremlin crepe. You wont be sorry!

Such a friendly amazing place to relax and have a cup of coffee. If your hungry you must try their crepes theres nowhere else that compares. Very friendly staff and all around a comfortable place to unwind I highly suggest checking out the root note. I usally grab a coffee by myself and always feel welcomed and greeted instantly by the very friendly staff. What an amazing coffee shop for is to enjoy in downtown lacrosse.

Nice place and good coffee. Just wish they had a more diverse menu.

I just finished a lovely lunch. Crimlin Crepe, and well made Latte and a excellent molasses cookie. Next time I come to LaCrosse I will be stopping again. Beautifully made crepes, just the right amount of filling. And a great selection.

Very cool place with a very relaxing vibe! Excellent food and drinks! They are well staffed and very friendly. I hear they have live music events too... I will definitely be back!

Atmosphere and lighting conducive to reading, studying, socializing; rotating seasonal cocktails alongside classics that are made true; rotating but ever diverse tap selection; coffee and crepes that are superb.

Stopped here one morning for some breakfast and computer work during a two month road trip. This place seems to have it all, great food, atmosphere, and music! Unfortunately, we didnt get to see any music that day, but the crepes were great, and the place felt very homey and relaxing.Would definitely recommend you stop in and check out the root note! One of our favorite coffee shops we visited across the country.

Great spot, I always visit when in Lacrosse. Love the vegetarian chilli and well executed cocktail menu.

Solid hangout place. Great draft beer selection and creative food.

Good music on Jazz nights. Great time to go with friends. The trivia night is always lively and fun. The drink selection is wide and delicious. Great food always. Great quick service in a fun quirky atmosphere. I always run into someone I know and it just feels like a second home for a lot of people in La Crosse.

Great atmosphere to work and study. I love their little tea pots!

Chill atmosphere. I usually dont feel cool enough to be there. Lots of space though. And the atmosphere for live music is cool as its less bar-like.

Easily the coolest coffee shop in La Crosse. They brew Kickapoo coffee and have great art. The baristas are quintessentially hip looking folks. Never made it to a music event, but it appears looked it would be a rad venue.

Great food and drinks but the service can be a little slow

The best coffee (Kickapoo), and the best crepes ever! The So Gouda is my all time favorite crepe (with extra sweet potatoes....especially if they’re purple). If I could I would eat here far more often than I do.

Easily the best coffeehouse in La Crosse, and home of some of the most delicious crepes. Great environment to study/work, too!

Awesome place. Good food, great atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our crepe and the atmosphere, it is a neat unique place.However, we both agreed the cocktails were not good at all (were hoping they would be more like the amazing ones The Mint had, since same ownership). It looks like they know what they are doing with coffee, but not on the cocktails.We also had to pay a cover charge to get in even though the (so-so) music ended not long after we got our drinks and food. We didnt expect a cover charge in the first place, and wouldnt have paid if we knew when the music was ending.We miss The Mint and were hoping this would be a replacement in our local lineup ... but it just didnt do it for us, and it just didnt feel like it was a fit for us.

Crepes are amazing. Coffee is amazing and I love how relaxing it is here. Definitely a great place to sit and read, do homework or go on a first date. ️

Great coffee based beverages and great food. Try the crepes! You may have a long wait after ordering, but thats all the more reason to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere.

Delicicious crepes, the only reason for the 4 star review is the staff is often slow at wiping off tables, if they even come out to do that. But definitely worth a visit for a crepe.

The place has one of the worst doors to go through. The owner may think its part of the vibe or ambiance, but its not safe and in fact dangerous. Just as I was leaving today and due to the lack of a handle on the inside (just bolts sticking out), I got a pretty bad cut (see picture). I cant imagine an old person, pregnant woman, or a child finding it easy to go through those doors. Hope they will do something about it...

The crepes are great. The atmosphere is a bit odd. A fun little restaurant.

Love the ambiance of this place. Great cafe au laits as well. Its simple industrial look is really the cherry on top.

Awesome crepes and coffee! Very chill spot to go with great service.

Amazing gouda and sweet potato crepe for $10

Really fun, funky little place. They serve many varieties of tea, coffee, sodas and food.One occasion there was live music, it was a tad bit loud, but not overwhelming. The music was appropriate for the setting as well as the crowd.The price is what you would expect for a pseudo crunchy granola type coffee house (a bit more than McDs). That said, The Root Notes atmosphere wont make you want to heave your ingested chicken byproduct nuggets like at those golden arches.Enjoy...

Solid fair rating...the ambiance of the location is good, the crepes are delicious, but the beverages are always hit-or-miss for me (even with standards such as iced-coffee). Very little consistency from one order to the next.

Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere. Local beers on tap. Wonderful place.

They have super fun drinks you can get either to get ready for a long day at work or after one

Quiet and quaint, they have good beer on tap and make great crepes!

Try the black bean chili its delicious, best chili Ive had including ones with meat.

Nice artwork and healthy food too!

The chili was great and some interesting crepes. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere. A definite stop if in the area again.

Quaint and comfortable. Great light meal. I wouldnt recommend the Hard Cider, it was like fermented vinegar. The crepes were delicious and the salad was simple perfection.

Great atmosphere, food/beverage selection, awesome staff, and comfortable seating. Has a vast array of different types of events it hosts i.e. open mic night, live music, and more! Day and nights are completely different vibes to enjoy such as meeting up with someone for coffee and/or crepes, studying, leisurely reading or relaxing, or a fairly priced meal. 10/10 in my opinion the owners and staff have created a great place to add to the downtown La Crosse’s variety of local businesses to offer.

Amazing crepes both savory and sweet

Very relaxed atmosphere. Nice open mic night on Wednesdays.

Very nice and hip joint. Friendly staff! Good drinks and food.

Good coffee selection. Limited options for crepes but very tasty.

Food was great. Took over 15 minutes for a pour over coffee during their lunch rush. Atmosphere is comfy.

Great place, and great service. It is a vegetarian restaurant, coffee shop, and pub, but amazing crepes and nice beer selection.

Great staff and good crepes.

I would recommend this cozy, eclectic and hip organic Cafe to anybody visiting this area. They have a delicious crepe menu with both Savory lunch crepes and sweet dessert crepes. They are made fresh to order. You do need to order at the bar, then they bring it to your table. They also have great options for organic alcoholic beverages.

Such a nice place to be.friendly people and good beverages

Great tea! Great food! Unique décor, relaxing and intelligent...Try the Cremlin, this is my savory comfort food.

Equally comfortable whether youre grabbing a quick cup of coffee to go or settling in for an afternoon of reading and studying.

I like coming here for several reasons, 2 of which, are the bands, and the overall vibe of the place.

Crepes are amazing! Staff is simply delightful!

Such a cool place. The staff is so friendly and my pour over was stellar. Support this local spot.

One if my favorite coffee shops, great for studying, food, coffee and live music. Definitely worth the visit!

Filling & vegan. Hot coffee & room to sit & study.

I often feel like this place is trying too hard. The service can be lacking, and the food leaves much to be desired.

Where the cool people are. And the owner is rad.

The drinks, food, & service: GREAT!

For a small place, these guys get some great performances. Only reason why I have this rated at a 4 of 5 is that the menu specializing in crepes isnt really my thing and many of the music talent they get pack the place soo much you cant move. About the menu, there is only one item on it that I like. But I had to talk to them about it and they were able to make sure I would enjoy it... and they have a very well educated staff about their crepes. I would make it 4.5 stars if I could because the Beer and Wine they have is TOP NOTCH! If you visit, you just need to talk to them and they will find you something.

I love the apple cider with housemade whip cream. The crepes are very good too!

Excellent coffee. Excellent service.

The Root Note was a great place. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasnt for the fact that they dont accept credit cards. Thankfully there was an ATM. The banana & chocolate chip crepe was delicious. Trivia night was really fun.

Great Crepes. Great beer choices. Comfortable atmosphere.

Good place to grab a crepe with a friend, but the coffee took FOREVER...[it was easily 2 nights worth of he said/he said recaps & browsing men on Grindr all the way to MSP before our shot in the dark & Americano arrived...]

Amazing crepes, nice coffee shop environment, open mic night is always a good time

Great atmosphere, great service, fantastic coffee! (Responsive ownership )

The best organic restaurant experience I have ever had. The atmosphere was so calming and laid back. The waiters were so friendly and accommodating . The food was farm to table fresh as could ever be. Anyone who loves organic food would fall in love with this place !

Just love this cafe. Our favorite cafe in town! Love everything on the menu too :)

Amazing food for what Ive had, great prices too. The atmosphere here is the best part though. Open mic on Wednesday btw.

The savory crepes are the bomb. Check their nighttime events - their open.mic night is quite fun given the variety of performers that can arrive on any given night

The root note is a good place, but if youre going just for coffee, Id advise another place. Youre going to pay a little more, but youre paying for the environment more than the drinks. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated though it can be very dim. The environment is very calming, and gives a sense of serinity, though it isnt quiet. If it was brighter, however, it wouldnt be as nice. I do recommend 8t t9 my friends.

My favorite place to go! Great place to catch some creativity lots of music events. Vegan crepes are decent (make sure if you’re vegan you ask for a vegan crepe). I would suggest this to anyone who needs a place to relax, do homework, listen to some live music, or to just get a cup of coffee...

Great atmoshpere and awesome artisan crepes.

Cozy, relaxing coffee shop with lots of natural light from the glass window store front. Great beer selection on tap. We always stop here when we come to town!

Probably the best espresso in LaCrosse! The oatmilk latte is also a great choice. Their crepes (both sweet and savory) are wonderful but slightly expensive. If you want to study here, I do not suggest coming here in the evening (with the exception of jazz night) as it tends to be louder during these times.

Nice Mellow Atmospher.

Smells soooo good here with the cheesy mushroom crepes. I dont recommend the Caffe Miel, but the hot chocolate is yummy. Everyone is nice. Kinda a hipster place but thats okay

OMG!!! So everyone has standards due to previous taste experiences, but this place blew me away. It definitely beats a place called Collectivo.

Best Coffee and Beer in the river city. Amazing music every week. Open Mics and world class performers make this place a must visit destination. Kind employees and and consciously prepared farm to table food.

P good atmosphere and food. The service is slow sometimes and it has a funky layout, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Games to play and stuff to read too.

Great food and excellent service. The chilli was very tasty.

This place has excellent service, and crepes, coffee, all wonderful. Local artists, musicians, chilled atmosphere. Unique

Great atmosphere, good beer. Didnt try any food but it sure smelled good.

Such a cool vibe walking into the place. The staff is top notch and the coffee and food are even better. When we were leaving we wanted some to go food for our kids. The gals at the counter helped in making an off menu yogurt parfait that my kids truly enjoyed. Next time Im in lacrosse Im stopping in for sure

Great coffee, tasty eats and friendly staff.

Beer, coffee, tea, salads, and amazing crepes. The root note offers a delightful earthy atmosphere, prompt service, and delicious options for lighter fare and drinks. Please note this is a cash-only establishment.

Always great music and crazy vibes! Chill, fun, relaxation spot if your just trying to escape reality for a little bit, or even use the Wifi to work on school work or just listen to open mic. Gets Jazzy up in there!!! xD 5/5

Awesome atmosphere, great beverage selection, would have tried a crepe however they had just closed down food for the evening. Guess Ill have to try here again.

Amazing Wednesday nights have live music anyone can play

Chamber Noise always has a great time playing the Note! Great staff great drink options! Nice crowd. Thank you Root Note for showing venues how to venue!

This place combines the atmosphere of owners who care. Not only about the costumer but how it got there by sourcing locally. They hire like minded folks and it is always a welcome in experience. With a rustic industrial ultilisation that really provides a warm atmosphere. Not to mention the parralle parking show out front is always fun.

Wonderful relaxing casual atmosphere. Great place to sit and catch up with a friend, Play board games,listen to live music, and enjoy a Craft Brew.
