The Square Root has great coffee, beer, and food and is fun intimate place to catch LIVE music!

Quaint spot to listen to local music and tip a pint.

Mediocre coffee shop, that benefits from its location.Coffee is nothing special, food is very average. Very random music (lots of classic rock?). Bathrooms smell, and all the tables are tightly packed together.

This is a good coffee shop. It has a friendly staff, good food, and is physically clean. The only downside is that the morning staff sometimes plays loud, banging rock that is the opposite of morning calm. This happens a lot and may drive away folks who are either older or want to read or do work. When the music is obnoxious, go to Caffe Nero in JP.

Swung in here to grab a few quick take out bites to take over to the substation. Great location on the corner. Ambiance was just right for a cafe that changes into a music venue in the evening. Took a look at the beer menu while waiting for the food and it looked really impressive for this type of establishment. I had the wagyu steak sandwich with caramelized onions and an order of nachos w guacamole. I generally don't take pics of takeout but both were good and at the level I would expect. Steak was a tad dry, mustard was delish, and ciabatta roll was a great choice to hold it all. Tortilla chips were crispy and quality but guac came in a side cup (just over a tablespoons worth). Service was friendly and prompt. Took about 20 mins to get the food and run. Only regret is that I didn't have any coffee as it seems like they would make a great cup. Leaves me something to try next time!

Cool atmosphere, great coffee and tea drinks. Breakfast is awesome and lunch is always delicious. Super friendly service, the staff is amazing. Highly recommend!

The drinks are good; however the space really needs some help. There are over 12 tables in a tiny space, packed against the high top tables, and this makes the space feel SO packed and uninviting. Really need someone to think about the design of this space and it would be 100x better. Maybe a communal table and then some small tables. Just some small tweaks would be a huge difference for this actually to feel like a good meeting spot.

The staff was so kind—they answered all my questions and prepared the delicious food quickly. There is also local art for sale, which added to the cool ambiance. It’s a great place to get some work done during the day.

A little unreasonable. Felt as though I had to order right away instead of waiting a little bit before ordering a coffee. I was trying to do school work and the internet was absolutely awful; kept reconnecting or failing to work - I ended up having to use my own hot spot and eventually just left. Not what I want to be doing. Asked that my foot be taken off the other chair it was resting on,. FYI your chairs are wood, not even fabric, don't be lazy. and wipe them down then. Mediocre latte and food. Will be going to P.S. Gourmet in the future (its just down the road). Charged me for a pupcup another time, where as starbucks and P.S. Gourmet do not. Would not recommend coming here ever to do work.

This is my go-to stop for coffee on dog walks! I hook the dogs outside, get my coffee, and walk to the arboretum.Music is a bit too loud for my preference to sit and do work at the coffee shop.
