"I am stunned that someone could have a bad experience here. Upon arrival, there is hand sanitizer to use, the staff is behind a plastic screen and you have to order your food at the counter, which minimises staff/customer interaction/contamination. Serving staffs wear masks and the waiter was happy to get us extra drinks so that we didn't have to go back up to the counter again. Despite what could be quite a sterile place at this moment in time, they have succeeded in making the cafe look and feel both sanitary and welcoming. There are plants on one shelf to sell and the back dining area is as light and airy as it is to sit out in the sunshine. The staff are friendly and helpful and we didn't have to wait long for our food.These factors however, are not the highlights of this cafe. The menu looks simple but the food is obviously prepared with passion and care. I had a mushroom and spinach burrito with wild garlic: such a simple combination, but deliciously done. I had food envy when my boyfriend's food came out (Buddha bowl), and even more so when I tasted it. We are hoping to move to the area and would like to make this cafe a weekly treat, so please support this business in these trying times."

Terrible and overpriced place. Rude and dismissive owner. Bettering to stay away and choose one of the wonderful cafes in the area.

We stopped by after our cycling ride and what a surprise! Staff was super lovely and friendly. We had Buddha bowls take away, fresh, healthy and very tasty! Loved the black coffee too! A must in Chesham!

My second visit to Roots and it was just as good as the first, delicious sandwiches and coffee, such a nice little chilled cafe, something quite different to the usual run of the mill 'full English ' cafes dotted about. Well worth a visit.

We popped in here for lunch one Saturday. The coffee was excellent and the food reasonably priced. I enjoyed a cheese and ham sour dough sandwich as they had run out of baguettes. Ham was fantastic, a bit stingy on the cheese. The service was very slow but the Waiter was very apologetic.

Since Covid-19 I had to find places in Chesham to work. Chesham is a lovely town but now renowned for the best hospitality for CEO and business people with our computers and long hours! But Root is very welcoming. They have delicious coffee and the best cakes in town. It can be a little noisy with families and toddlers, but if you don’t mind sound of life, Root is great!!

Two orders of eggs on toast shouldn't be a problem in a restaurant where only two other tables are occupied, and where those tables are having coffee only. It took 25 minutes to be served burnt scrambled egg! However, it was mildly amusing watching the staff through the partly open kitchen door throw multiple egg shells into a bucket by the door while we waited to eat. I sometimes wonder who those eggs were for, because it certainly wasn't any of the seated customers.

This was my second visit to the cafe, about a year apart. I stayed away from this place after being made to feel unwelcome after my first visit, however it was a hot day and I fancied an iced latte so I thought I would give it another go. Once again I was greeted by a member of staff with a cold glare and a real “ why are you here” kind of attitude. They were very unhelpful when asking about vegan options and really did their best to make me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed, to the point where I was ready just to walk out. The staff at roots really need to take a course in customer service

I popped in for the first time and what I experienced was awful and I will never return. The way a member of staff spoke and treated an elderly lady was appalling. The member of staff spoke so rudely to this poor lady I was totally shocked, she then proceeded to go out the back to which the manager then appeared and slammed this ladies Money back at her and asked her to leave the shopThis poor lady explained all she wanted was her sandwich to now be taken away as they had taken too long to make it and she didn’t have time to wait. She was not rude at all and in fact seemed very sweet. the manager just shouted for her to leave The lady looked so upset and embarrassed. I was horrified. The lad...

"December 2021: Glad to be able to visit The Old Orchard at Christmas. They always have a real fire going and mulled wine. Unfortunately, they hadn't started the mulled cider yet but, had a hot toddy; both were wonderful. Well done guy's for offering these. The food , for starters we shared prawn salad, very refreshing. My partner had the chicken and leek pie which was yummy. I had the salmon, which was disappointing, dry and bland, the veggie accomplishment were tasty. January 2020: I really like this place and come here regularly. Looking forward to coming in summer. Having been here many times over the last 4 months, I have to say the menu is limited and boring. Very surprised they haven't thought of changing it or varying it a bit. Also wish they had a few more cosy tables and chairs. Apart from the 1st time we came always get put on a small table for 2 despite asking for a square 4 table and plenty being available. The service could be better, waiters don't write the order down and then forget to bring you drinks. Despite the above I still like this place but, it's these things that is the difference between nice and amazing. December 2019: Came here on Christmas Eve and had a lovely evening. September 2019:Went to The Old Orchard for drinks and dinner on a Friday night. I hadn't booked a table so we had to wait an hour and a half. Which was fine as it was a nice evening we sat outside then had to move in due to it getting a bit chilly. Would have been nice if they had patio heaters, I would have liked to sit outside. Blankets would also be a nice touch. The views are amazing. Food was very good, facilities were clean and the staff were friendly and provided a great service. I will definitely be coming back."
