The folks who work here are absolute gems! Always willing to answer any questions you may have. Love the fact that you are shopping local and shopping in season.Great place to grab gifts or for some shopping for yourself. My favorites are the teas, ceramic, jewelry, dried lavender, and fresh flowers! I’ve only had their breakfast sandwiches, but their menu looks great!

Local Roots has improved their services greatly since I had been there about 7 years ago. They have a wonderful selection of coffee which I bought 3 bags. It was so great! I also bought some Amish half-n-half which was all natural!(no artificial ingredients, non-GMO, and came from grass fed cows.The store has expanded to having a coffee shop, and they serve food items such as sandwiches. The staff was friendly and professional. There are a plethora of items available for the needs of everyone.If you are from Wooster or out of town, come visit this store! Im sure you wont be disappointed. Good vibes and good food!

I stop here whenever I’m in the area. It is such a treat for a California-grown vegetarian to find so many wonderful options of healthy food, many produced locally here in Ohio. There are so many options for different dietary preferences. I often pick up pierogis, snacks, cereal, tea, spices and other specialty products. Staff is always kind and friendly, following health ordinances which make me feel safe. The lunch options are wonderful, and I always find another new product I want to try! And it’s so cool that they are a coop, if I lived closer I would definitely join.

We were visiting from out of state and grabbed some things to have in our rental for the week. Everything was amazing. What a unique and delicious selection! This place is especially great for those of us with diet restrictions like gluten intolerance, vegan, or anyone conscious of organic eating. Everyone who helped us was lovely too. It’s very clean and organized as well.

If you are looking for local food, whether meat, dairy, produce, baked goods, gluten free, vegetarian, or anything in between, Local Roots has it. I love grocery shopping here and am always tempted by the fresh baked goods especially. Not limited to food though, there are always really nice handmade soaps and all kinds of arts and crafts. They also have a cafe which is great for a healthy lunch option. Its basically a high quality indoor farmers market if you are still unsure what its all about!

Local shopping at its finest. Wooster is super lucky to have this amazing resource in its downtown. They sell a lot of local produce and meats but also local honey, syrups, baked goods, and crafts. Additionally local chefs come and use their kitchen for a day and serve up a fantastic lunch.

Review №43

If you want to see what Wayne County and the surrounding area has to offer, this is a fun place the check out: coffees, syrups, honey, baked goods, fresh cheese, milk, baked goods, and veggies... Not to mention all of the artisan works available... 5heres plenty to see, smell, and taste. The food is delicious and I had the pleasure of enjoying an Indian meal. Each day they rotate chefs, so theres a unique option each week. Artwork abounds and I love seeing the works of others hands.... Definitely worth a visit. Yes, a bit pricey for me.... However, still fun and I love shopping local.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to this shop/cafe! They had a wide variety of locally produced fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies, baked goods and more. There was, also, a beautiful selection of hand-crafted items, including pottery, greeting cards, reusable cloth bags... We decided to split a sandwich and soup for lunch, and the staff was so accomodating and friendly. The butternut squash soup was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The cheese and veggie sandwich was out of this world! Well definitely be going back there often!

This little place is the epitome of the local flavor of Wooster - you can buy direct from farms and producers, you can browse local artworks, and you can enjoy the small deli and cafe. If you are visiting Wooster to see what a lovely small town is like, this is a necessary stop on the tour.
