Rural Roots Tea Lounge & Artisan Shop - Rockwood, Ontario

Group Market

What a sweet, organic shop! It's filled with all sorts of locally sourced, handcrafted goodness, and the owner has a commitment to supporting local wares. The back room is filled with fresh coffee and a huge assortment of artisanal teas! The owner seems to be always baking something fresh to fill the counter, and there are comfortable chairs and a fireplace to snuggle into while reading and sipping your beverage.
Honestly, Sarah and her team have created a wonderful atmosphere, and the customer service is second to none.
Ignore the false reviews from her competition... go for the experience and stay for the incomparable warmth and charm.

I was told by friends about this place and was curious about it. Looking at the reviews there are lots of positive ones. But the negative one caught my eye because of the owners response. If I was doing a college essay on how NOT to respond to negative reviews as a business, I think this place gave me my easy grade.

This kind of response also brings to question the welcoming vibe of the place (and if anything gives more weight to the reviewer).

If their coffee is anything like this attitude of theirs, I'd be better off boiling lake water and grinding coffee beans at home.

Have a beautiful day. 🙂

I would never go here again. I love to venture our small little town. And I had never been to this place before. It was delightful weather and everything. So me and my boyfriend decided to go in. We looked around for maybe 10 15 20 minutes. Not very long cause the shop's not very big. And as I normally do I graciously thank the person who owns the shop for allowing us to be in the store. Without a drop of a beat this woman, I believe the owner screams out. You didn't buy anything so unless you buy something from her. She'll treat you nice. You don't buy anything and you're just looking around to see what's what you'll get the rude end of the stick. Her self-promotion of having the greatest coffee in Rockwood. There are 2 other cafes in town. One down by the river and the other. Not too far from her. I prefer going to these places over her and tell anyone who comes into town not to go to Her unless you buy something horrible experience, I would give 0 stars if I could.

My husband and I stopped in late Saturday afternoon, the owner was lovely and very friendly. The store is not huge, but sells many artisanal and homemade crafts/items. It's a very welcoming place, their Coffee good and their Banana Chocolate Cake delicious!! A wonderful concept, you can pick up a yummy treat and support local businesses all in one stop. Definitely check them out if you're in the area.

Great store that really exemplifies old town charm and great customer service. Unfailingly polite and happy to see everyone. Fresh baking and the BEST coffee in town for the best price. It’s worth the time to visit!

Incredible little locally owned and operated shop!
Right on Main Street in the Flower Mill building - They stock dozens of local products that are mostly handmade , they also just brought back whistle stops coffee which was a sorely missed local staple for years!
Worth stopping in for sure!

This is a great place on a Saturday morning to grab a coffee and muffin! Best cup of coffee in town at a fairly cheap price. And a great place to find a locally made gift. Definitely worth making the drive! ! !
