This is the second time I've been to Roots. Both times were equally amazing. Two years ago, my buddy recommended it. He's a regular visitor to Door County and he and his family count this among their favorite places to eat. I can see why. It's so good. The majority of their menu happens to be vegan, but whether you are a meat eater or not (I am), it doesn't matter -- the food is excellent. This most recent time, I got a Rice Bowl that had crispy shredded tofu...it was delicious. There's an awesome deck on the back side for outdoor seating, and a few seats out front too. Both times I've visited, we sat outside. It's in my top tier of places to eat in Door County. Like I said, if you are not a vegan or vegetarian, don't be scared off by the fact that most of the menu is meatless -- with flavors like this, it doesn't matter. read more

Everything was great! The outdoor dining was very pleasant, and our healthy meals were delicious and reasonably priced.

Absolutely amazing!! You have to check out Roots Inn for lunch. So delicious, everything we got was so fresh and well done. We had some awesome salads and tacos and the chips were to die for. Being vegetarian, this place made me so happy with all the options! There's something here for everyone! They have limited hours, so be sure to check before you go! read more

So good! Best soup of my life - you have to go if you can. Limited time open but sooooooooo good.

Such a unique and lovely hidden gem in Door County! This place is tucked away in a quiet corner right outside the usual chaos of Sister Bay. We came for lunch and were seated on the patio out back. The inside was a super cozy, rustic vibe, decorated beautifully. Their menu is small and mostly vegan. Thoigh, they do have a brat special that changes weekly (can also be made vegan). They have new specials every week, which is what I ordered. It was a curry wrap with sweet potatoes, raisins, apples, and more delicious fillings I can't quite remember. It was tasty and unique. I got the vegan kale Caesar on the side which was perfectly made. The person I was with ordered the walnut tacos and absolutely loved them, they looked delicious. read more

We had dinner at Lola's Kitchen located in cozy Roots Inn. We shared 4 entrees, egg rolls, & 2 desserts among the four of us. The Filipino meal all homemade by Owen was fabulous! Generous portions served hot were all so tasty! We loved it all !! Highly recommend! Also, great wine list! read more

My husband and I stopped on our way to the Washington Island ferry. We are mostly vegetarian and eat local catch fish when in the area. Most places are very.meat heavy,but this was mentioned on a door county page. So we wanted to give it a try. We were very happy with the very veggie friendly menu. I had the asian tacos, and my husband had the local brat. We had a great time, great music, good beers on tap, and a very friendly local vibe. We will definitely be back, and we are happy to bring friends with us next time. read more

Not sure why anyone would give this place less than a 5!!!! Starts with the historic part, goes to the decor and ambiance and then finishes off with amazing food. Lots of vegan options but I did the plain Jane organic bratwurst with a lemon Cesar salad as a side - wow. Amazing read more

Usually with service this slow, I would give a 2 or 3 star rating but the delicious food made up for it! There were many people waiting, we ordered at the counter, and then waited for 30-40 minutes before approaching the counter and asking about the status of our food. Apparently it had been done for 20 minutes and was now cold but no one notified us that it was done. While i'm not too pleased with the service, I'm very happy there is a vegan restaurant in door county and their menu is great. I got the vegan Mac n cheese waffle and I still dream about it! So good! Will definitely be back, but will allot more time to be served. read more

This has long been one of our favorite places to eat in Door County, but we recently had the pleasure of staying at the Inn and could not have been more pleased. The food remains spectacular. Sara is a wizard in the kitchen! Breakfast was a treat and a surprise every day. Colin and Sara are such welcoming and generous hosts that one feels right at home. Thanks to them and the staff for making our stay so pleasant and memorable. read more

Definitely a Door County MUST eat. I completely enjoyed an amazing waffle today and a lemon Caesar salad. Thankful they have such delicious plant based and gluten free options. They really just have honest to goodness GREAT food with a cool, rustic, welcoming and comfortable vibe. can't wait to go back!!! read more

By a show of hands, how many of you are vegetarian and/or gluten free have a difficult time finding plentiful fresh, flavorful, high quality options at a single restaurant? Usually these are an afterthought, and intended to appease that one person in your party who doesn't eat what most people do. Well get ready to be happy. Even my wife, who does eat meat and would order deep fried gluten if they served it exclusively on a stick, loved it here as much as I did. We had almost everything on the menu during our visit. Broccoli wings, walnut tacos, mac and cheese waffles, and vegan Parmesan truffle chips. All outstanding. Whether you are gluten free, vegan, or the exact opposite, this place is fantastic. Sorry no pics. We ate it all immediately. read more

We are vegans from out of state, and we struggled to find good places to eat that had more than just a Beyond burger and fries, etc. A local shop owner recommended Roots Inn, and this was hands down one of the best vegan meals I've had out in YEARS. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. My daughter and my niece were also blown away by the food! I will go out of my way to come here the next time I come back! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Roots. If you are heading to Door County, this is the place to stay and eat. You can tell that owners Collin and Sara take a lot of pride in creating a special experience for guests. Pictures won't do this place justice- it's absolutely adorable and something out of a storybook! We had a great time during our stay in the cottage room! This couple clearly has an eye for design. From the quirky decor to the locally sourced menu, they have spared no little detail- which is what makes Roots so special. The rooms are squeaky clean and so comfortable, and the food and alcohol selection at the eatery is hard to beat. The hosts are amazing and accommodating- they make Roots feel like home! Trust me- you won't want to miss out on this place! read more

My friend and I stayed at Roots Inn for a 3 day trip to Door County and had an absolute blast. The innkeepers Collin and Sara are phenomenal at accommodating your needs, making delicious breakfasts, and giving great advice and recommendations for anything you want to do while there. The room was extremely clean and cozy and the bed was so comfortable to crash in after long days of hiking and swimming. We both would go back in a heartbeat and can't recommend it enough! read more

I travel almost weekly for work and it was so refreshing to be treated like I was visiting my family and home away from home on our girls get away weekend. Sara & Collin really have created a gem in the middle of paradise- comfortable and clean accommodations, amazing food (even adjusted without hesitation to my strict diet & allergies), and to top it their warm hospitality, personal engagement and touches all made it more worth while. I look forward to coming back many more times in the future! read more

I will be eating here again before our vacation is over. read more

Visiting Door County will forever go down in history as one of our favorite vacations, and the Roots Inn played a huge part in that. We stayed at the Inn for 2 nights, and wish we could have stayed longer. Each morning they served a delicious breakfast (accompanied by the best coffee ever.) and either Collin or Sara would sit down with us and help us map out our day. That was one of the kindest things to me, that they truly cared about our stay in Door County and wanted to make it as fun and action-packed as possible. The Inn itself is in the perfect location, walking distance to the best parts of Sister Bay. The grounds and interior were so beautifully decorated. It felt so cozy and I cannot wait to come back again! We feel so grateful that we were able to have this experience, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and hospitable getaway. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Roots Inn & Kitchen this August when we visited for our honeymoon. This was our first time in Door County and it did not disappoint! Upon arrival, we were greeted by Collin who was friendly and eager to help make our stay perfect. We stayed in the office which was so nicely decorated and made us feel at home. The rest of the Inn is equally as picturesque and so fun to stay at! Breakfast was absolutely fabulous, starting off with warm scones, and ending with a phenomenal breakfast taco made with local ingredients. Collin and Sara were extremely accommodating, offering alt times for breakfast if we couldn't make it during the 8:30 - 9:30 window, and offering to make customizations for any allergies. We hope to come visit next summer and stay here again! read more

My wife and I decided to head out to Door County for a winter visit on short notice and stayed at Roots Inn & Kitchen. We had a great visit so I wanted to share our experience. The Inn: The Inn is a beautiful building built in the early 1900's. The owners, Collin and Sara, have owned the Inn for under a year and are currently adding their personal touch to all the rooms. Their renovated Restaurant is attached and is a fantastic place to enjoy your complimentary breakfast if you are a guest or just stop in for lunch or catch a Packer game if you are in town. Location: The location is a short walk to all the best that Sister Bay has to offer including Sister Bay Bowl, Husby's, Door County Creamery, Bier Zot, and Wild Tomato Pizza. The Owners One of the highlights of our trip was enjoying our delicious gourmet breakfasts and getting to know Collin and Sara. Great conversation and a breakfast that was way above and beyond anything I've ever had at a B&B stay. Their passion for what they are doing really shows. All in all, my wife and I learned two valuable things during our trip. First, that visiting Door County in winter is an absolute must for Cross Country Skiing, Hiking, and enjoying some great eats in a more peaceful atmosphere than you'll find during peak season. Secondly, that Roots Inn and Kitchen will be our go to place to stay when we make the trip. They truly care about their guests and really make your stay memorable. We can't wait to come back! read more

So relaxing and peaceful. My girlfriend and I spent a weekend here in April, (their first weekend to be reopened for the season) and it was great. Collin and Sara do an amazing job making you feel welcome and at home. The porch was ideal for reading and relaxing. The rooms are small but very comfortable and well done. The bed was perfect, no soft old mattresses here. And to top it off the breakfasts are delicious!!! Breakfast is served in the bar area and are definitely worth getting out of bed for.... They do a wonderful job creating interesting and tasty dishes each morning. I would highly recommend a weekend here. read more

Had a great lunch outside on the patio with my pooch. Great beer with the home made parm & oregano Chios along with the Kale Ceasar. All were DELISH! Highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back. Hope they can tent out the patio for fall season. read more

Can't speak for the inn but the food is amazing. It's a super small menu with seasonal items. We had the beet salad and Vegan tacos. They were both awesome!! There's only a few tables to eat outside if you aren't comfortable eating indoors yet. read more

We've been hearing such great things about Roots Inn & Kitchen so we could t wait to try it for ourselves. 5 stars aren't enough!!! The inside bar was so cool. But on a beautiful day the outside patio seating was perfect for our family of 5. We're restaurant owners ourselves so we ordered almost everything on the menu. It's "market research"!!! The waffle was creative and fantastic! All three of our kids loved it! The quinoa apple & arugula salad was crisp and fresh. Our 2 favorite brats were the Bloody Mary and the plain Jane. DO NOT MISS the Parmesan truffle chips! Thank you guys for having the perfect spot to sneak a slice of family time together!!! read more

Heard about this restaurant from a local, and when you get a recommendation from a local you know it's going to be good! And it was! The food was so fresh and so flavorful. We both order a cup of vegetable soup, it was super tasty we couldn't share! I ordered the kale Caesar salad, it was vegan and tasted great! Again very flavorful you don't feel like you're missing anything! The outdoor patio was very nice, a good view of the woods. We look forward to coming back! read more

Usually you plan your vacation , which includes your destination city, your activities, places you'd like to eat, and the place you will stay.

Wake up and head downstairs to tea or coffee in the music filled front porch until your breakfast is served promptly thereafter! Not only do you get a artistically plated and delicious 'clean foods' breakfast...you also get the bonus of a breakfast 'dessert' in their wonderful homemade scones!!

Roots Inn & Kitchen - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

One of my very favorite things is bearing witness to those who are great at what they do. Two people rocking their profession are Roots Inn hosts Sara and Collin. With rockstar culinary skills and warm, welcoming personalities, this duo makes you feel like you're visiting old friends. Staying at Roots Inn is a great way to experience a B&B without feeling like you're staying in granny's Victorian. The decor is creative and charming - a weathered ladder holds DVDs; an old suitcase houses Door County guidebooks; and original art graces the walls. The Woods room was very cozy and comfortable. But don't expect total silence at any B&B. The other guests' conversations didn't disturb us, but I did learn my neighbor in Room #2 is looking for love on Tinder so sending loads of luck her way. Remember those "rockstar culinary skills" I mentioned earlier? Well, today's breakfast consisted of AMAZING cinnamon scones; a puff pastry filled with homemade pesto, sautéed peppers and mozzarella; watermelon cubes with fresh mint; sausage from a local farm; and orange juice, tea, and coffee. You can't get that at the Day's Inn! If you want your Door County lodging experience to be as memorable as everything else you do while you're in town, stay at Roots. You won't be disappointed. read more

You stay here at the owners' convenience. You eat breakfast when it's convenient for them to "plate" it, which is promptly at 8 a.m. You show up at 8:30 or 8:45 and the kitchen will be locked. You get a complementary drink and homemade appetizer promptly at 4 p.m., unless there is a Packer or Badger game on, which is a time for the proprietors to socialize with their friends. If you show up at 4:15 or 4:20 the kitchen will be locked. Why can't there be a window? Why can't breakfast be from 8 to 9 and cocktail hour from 4 to 5? It seems rather pretentious to "plate" breakfast at 8 a.m. and expect your guests to simply be up for it. So if you are okay with the proprietors setting your schedule for you on your vacation, then the location is very convenient and the accommodations are above average. Are the rooms nice and bed comfortable? Yes. Is the food good (if you happen to get it)? Quite. Expect a place to sleep after enjoying Door County and nothing else. We showed up at 8:45 for breakfast on our first day of vacation hoping we could pick up a muffin, reheat leftovers, just anything to nibble on; the kitchen was locked. Other guests mentioned that this same thing happened to them as well. So we had to be awake and out of bed by 7:45 for the remainder of our stay just to get breakfast. On the final day of our stay, as we were leaving, we noticed the proprietors preparing breakfast at 9:15 for a couple who missed the 8 a.m. meal. I don't know why they were the exception, but it did feel like a "F*ck you!" from the proprietors. They seem like nice enough people, but my stay left me with nothing but contempt for them. read more

I wish I could give the food here 6 out of 5 stars. We got the two brat options (both excellent), the house cut chips (also excellent) and the veggie tacos (very good). The wine pours were excellent and the beer menu had some good options. Sit on the back porch for the best ambiance! read more

The new owners are taking the bed and breakfast concept to an entirely new and higher level!

Collin & Sara are the ultimate hosts. They are welcoming, friendly and just all around good humans. They have recommendations for all sorts of dining and activities in the Door County area. The Inn is absolutely perfect; super clean, comfortable and it has a great enclosed porch to sit on and enjoy a drink. The food they serve up is absolutely phenomenal. We looked forward to our surprise breakfast each morning. They use locally sourced products and cook with so much TLC. My husband and I left feeling like we spent a weekend with friends. We highly recommend Roots Inn and Kitchen for any trip to Door County. You won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I stayed here for the second time last weekend. It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast (other than when we stayed here over winter). We love it! We stayed two nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Collin and Sara are extremely welcoming and wonderful hosts. They are very friendly and enjoy making their guests comfortable while having a great time. The food is hands down delicious and creative. There is a restaurant/bar attached that we opted to eat from and spend time in more than around town. We have stayed here once in the dead of winter as a getaway and it was just as pleasant. Cozy, warm getaway that is relaxing and comfortable. We returned this summer with friends and it is a fun place for couples to stay together. We had a group of 4 couples and all really enjoyed the stay. Very clean rooms and clean private bathrooms. They have their own awesome smelling body wash and shampoo. Quiet at night and breakfast was hot and fresh every morning. Lovely private back patio area to eat and drink. Parking was easy as they have their own private lot. Located within seconds to minutes walking distance of everything in Sister Bay. We will definitely be returning in the summer or winter! Both trips were everything we had wanted plus more. We are excited to share this place with our family and friends to stay at. Would highly recommend to anyone! Roots is now our go-to place to stay when in Door County! read more

Seriously delicious. Super creative food including a vegan option that's not a veggie burger! If you get the tacos without the aioli it's vegan and so good...made with walnut 'meat' and peppers. All the meat eaters loved the brats as well. read more

Always a treat! Love the walnut meat and cauliflower tacos! Major yumfest! They work magic with their brats and back patio is so relaxing.

I stayed at Roots some weeks ago just as winter was settling. Me and a good friend from college were staying for one night on our birding trip through Door County. It was our first time ever staying in a BnB. We weren't sure of many things, but their website was so polished and thought out, that we realized, it would at the least, be memorable. It was more than memorable. Being the only lodgers for that night, we had the whole house to ourselves. The owners surpassed any standard expectation for friendly and conversational. They were inquisitive, and patient. They heated up our Thanksgiving leftovers we packed for food, and gave us a beer on the house. The front room was cozy as a silk blanket under a wooly mammoth, in the dead of winter. Blue walls, velvet upholster, restored trim, and clean roomy decor worked together to fill the home with elegance and rarity. The Backpackers room was a strange mix of feeling transported in time without the whiplash of awkwardly juxtaposed modern amenities. The gestalt of the whole experience felt like we were more important than we had previously considered ourselves. And for the price of only 110$, it felt like we didn't deserve it. lol :D But the owners succeeded in creating a space that absolved us of that guilt. Breakfast included surprise and creativity. It was flaky buttery comfort food made by an athlete, with an eye for haute cuisine. I am hesitant to describe the finer details of the check-in, sleep, breakfast, and check-out for fear of ruining the discovery. Spend a night in the winter months, and feel for yourself the warm magic of a cozy antique box, beaming with the brilliance of two people in love. Roots moves you with grounding comfort. All BnB's in the region should use this place as a template for the future of Door County comfort. read more
