Organic cafes are not rare anymore, but what sets Roots Cafe apart? It’s not just the food, it’s the people. From the kitchen to the service, the entire team is led by women, front and centre, something which is not that common. The cafe tells a story of empowerment, simplicity and close-knit teamwork. 

Not only that, but Roots Cafe follows a full farm-to-table approach. All the ingredients are organic and handpicked from their own farm, Rural Mitra, in Noida. The cafe is rooted in mindfulness and promotes inclusion, sustainability and conscious dining, which is something rare in a city full of hustle and bustle. Moreover, founder Meenakshi Kumar, who was mentored by celebrated chef Gaggan Anand, wants to empower women, promote conscious living and support sustainable agriculture through Roots Cafe. And honestly, she seems to be on the right path, because this cafe reflects all of it.
