Meet the family behind Real Roots Café!
We’re Matthew and Tiffany Lake, proud Chattanooga natives raising our family right here in the community we love. Along with our children, Cali and Pierson, we’ve built Real Roots Café around the values we grew up with—good food, hard work, hospitality, and bringing people together around the table.
Everything we serve is made with care using real ingredients, prepared from scratch, and sourced locally whenever possible. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, coffee, a smoothie, a panini, loaded nachos, a burrito, or a cold beer, our goal is simple: serve food that tastes great and makes you feel good.
Real Roots is a place where families gather, friends catch up, kids are always welcome, and everyone can find something they enjoy. We believe food doesn’t have to be complicated—just fresh, flavorful, and made with intention.
From our family to yours, thank you for supporting local businesses. We hope you’ll stop by, pull up a chair, and become part of the Real Roots family.
See y’all soon!
