The Root Cellar specializes in scratch-made sandwiches, salads, soups, and desserts, as well as locally roasted coffees. Although we offer a casual dining experience, we’re serious about the food we serve.
Quality matters to us because we know it matters to our customers. We believe the best food comes from within our own community, and we strive to use seasonal ingredients from North Carolina farmers and local producers when possible.
Market Specialties
The Root Cellar also offers a variety of North Carolina-crafted beers and has a large selection of wines for purchase, mainly from small-family owned wineries. Be sure to check out our selection of chocolates and other sweets, including from local makers, as well as our own Root Cellar honey and syrups, and Foster Market Pepper Jelly.
