Root Coffeehouse

We’re celebrating this guy today! Drop by and congratulate Dominic on his 1,000th shift, or drop a note below!

He’s our most senior barista and has worked here since 2019 - that’s 2 years before we bought Root! He rarely calls in sick and almost never requests time off, he cares about quality and community, and knows our regulars’ orders before they get to the register.

He’s also our son, and we are proud of him.

He’ll have four days off for Memorial Day weekend (Note: if there are any outdoor enthusiasts out there his age, he’s looking to find a few camping buddies, which has been challenging from behind the counter!) then one last week here before he comes with us to McKay Street Coffeehouse!

Thank you, Dominic, for your dedication to this special place! ❤️

About our Root Market: Sales on items made by these amazing local entrepreneurs will pause at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, while we prepare for our last day of business May 31. When The Balkan Coffeehouse-Café-Cocktail Lounge opens in this space on June 13, the new owners plan to continue this program. If you need pampering items or small gifts, please come see us by 5 p.m. May 23!

It has felt incredibly rewarding to forge partnerships — and in many cases friendships — with these innovative small business owners and to provide them space so that they can generate an income on their creations.

Thanks to our current consignment partners for trusting us, and thanks to our customers for choosing to buy locally made items:

Just a photo of a cute crocheted platypus and one of our customers to catch your attention. We're closing at 2:30 today (May 19) in anticipation of severe weather that is expected to move through our area this afternoon.

We are under a tornado watch and numerous schools and public facilities have closed throughout the Four State Area. Please stay safe and weather aware, friends!

To those who bought bags of beans from us over the past few years, here's what's happening: We have sold the last bags under the Root label. Thanks to everyone who snapped them up each week; it truly means the world to us that you enjoyed them so! BUT GUESS WHAT....

This is not goodbye to these two roasts!

We've rebranding them to sell at our new shop, McKay Street Coffeehouse, starting June 5! In the meantime, we have FOUR bags (yes, just FOUR, so get 'em while ya can) of the new bags for sale here at Root starting Saturday morning.

With gratitude to our friends at Bearded Lady Roasters who worked with us to develop them. ✌❤☕

We look forward to this every year! Thank you, Pittsburg Beautiful members, for volunteering to keep Downtown Pittsburg, Kansas so charming season after season! ❤
