Inside Scoop

Sure, we could rave about our delicious and creatively presented craft cocktails. But if you want to know our real secret weapon: pancakes. This brunch specialty isn’t your Mama’s pancakes (sorry Mom). Rustic Root thinks outside of the box presenting seasonal flapjacks like Gingerbread pancakes with peppermint maple icing, cinnamon whitened cream, and candy can dust, or good ol’ Mint Chocolate Chip!
