There’s a new reason to spend a little extra time in downtown Plainfield, Indiana.

Roots Market & Eatery recently opened on Main Street, bringing together a neighborhood café, local market, bakery and butcher shop all inside one beautifully restored historic building.

It's the perfect place to grab breakfast, pick up dinner ingredients, meet friends for lunch or simply wander around with a coffee in hand.

Historic Downtown Space

Roots Market & Eatery is located inside a building with deep Plainfield history. Originally built in 1900 by the Knights of Pythias, the space later became home to the old Plainfield Opera House, where the community gathered for performances, events and celebrations.

Today, that same spirit of gathering and connection still fills the building...just with fresh bread, sandwiches and meats instead of stage performances.

Fresh Sandwiches, Breakfast + Coffee

The eatery's menu features breakfast favorites, artisan sandwiches, specialty toasts, coffee drinks and flavored dirty sodas made with quality ingredients and local touches. Guests can grab everything from a quick breakfast sandwich or croissant to stacked deli sandwiches and comforting lunch favorites.

The build-your-own sandwich option also makes it easy to create exactly what you’re craving and find healthy options. Coffee, espresso drinks and flavored dirty sodas round out the drink menu, giving visitors another reason to stop in throughout the day.

A Bakery Worth the Stop

The bakery case is filled with fresh pastries, croissants, muffins and breads, making it very difficult to leave empty-handed. Between the buttery croissants and sweet pastries paired with coffee, it will quickly become part of your morning routine.
