Very nice neighborhood gem. A little coffee shop, bar, tea house, eatery, and craft shop all in one nice little old building. Nice staff too. Also a nice place to just sit outside and watch traffic and people go by. Will be coming back again…

Received a very cold interaction from the ladies working at the store. stopped by during late morning on a weekday to enjoy the same experience as the other positive reviewers have enjoyed. Turns out good morning or hello was too much to ask. Espresso was made from a basic home espresso machine and the lady did not know how to properly extract coffee. As a neighborhood store that relies on the local support and business, the customer service should be priority as word of mouth is a real thing. Mediocre espresso is one thing, but difficult to understand why these businesses cant provide basic courtesy to their patrons.

Great food, great coffee. Wonderful, friendly, and efficient service. Felt very safe with covid procedures. Love the atmosphere.

I can’t believe I never knew this place was here! I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of money here. I basically want my home to look like the inside of this shop. Plus, LOVE that they have an indoor/outdoor cafe. All of their items are fair trade and ethically sourced, including the coffee and chocolate. Also, the staff are so nice! Also also they have WiFi. Also also also, is it weird that I REALLY like their music?

Whoever was the cashier ignored my family and me when we said hello multiple times, despite making clear eye contact with us. As people of color, this rubbed us the wrong way, and when we told her this, she was extremely cold.Poor customer service, will not be returning.

Specialty coffee and homely ambience. The clocks in seating area are delightful. Wish the cappuccinos were a bit larger.

So glad I found this store! Great selection. I got a range of items: socks, carved salad tongs, candles, chocolate and earrings. I received my items promptly and I was happy with everything (sometimes hard to tell online).I actually bought my items about a month ago. Knowing that I have helped artisans from other countries still makes me feel good.Will definitely shop here again!

Great staff, good coffee, equitable products. They just started having cold brew and I got to be their guinea pig; very happy!

Such a lovely shop!!! Will absolutely bring back my family and friends to this shop. I loved everything they had...honestly may go back tomorrow! Highly recommend!!

Lovely place to shop for unusual gifts AND a cafe with outdoor seating.

Trade Roots is my go-to store for buying almost all of my birthday, Christmas, wedding, + baby gifts. There are so many unique, handcrafted gifts that support artisans who are local to the area and others who are located all over the world. This female owned business is such a gem, and the owner and staff are so kind and welcoming! I am not a coffee drinker but there is a sweet little coffee shop attached to the store. If youre looking for a unique and stunning piece of jewelry, houseware, childrens gifts, or countless other beautiful works of art, definitely check out this shop in Westover!

Really good coffee and neat gift shop. Pleasant outdoor seating.

We LOVE Trade Roots! Beautiful fair trade items we can feel GOOD about buying - and from a locally-owned, woman-owned shop! Be sure to check it out - coffee and wine and treats as well!

Cozy place with a nice gift shop with a lot of awesome handmade jewelries and crafts. We had an Open Mic here and definitely enjoyed our time.

Great coffees, teas, and specialty drinks, all fair trade. Outdoor seating available under some lovely trees. Very cute shop for gifts, puzzles, wall hangings, etc also all fair trade. Free parking.

I visited this cute little shop with my sister when I was in town for a visit. I wish there was a shop like this in Tampa! I loved it there, with such unique and fun gifts and items. There were so many more items I wanted to purchase, but i didnt have any room in my luggage to carry them! Love this place and cant wait to visit again.

Wonderful shop full of great gift ideas- all unique!

Trade Roots is my go to store for gifts throughout the year. There are so many beautiful things to chose from and I always leave with the perfect gift. There are a variety of unique items for everyone on your list--clothing, jewelry, housewares, toys, purses, edible gifts, candles...the list goes on and on. You can bet on finding a one of a kind gift and the store has such a nice ambiance. Bring along a friend and you can catch up in the coffee/wine bar tucked in a cozy corner of the store. You can also enjoy a delicious baked good or a small plate such as a hummus platter or a savory pot pie. Trade Roots is truly a gem nestled among the shops at Westover.

Good stuff and good drinks. A very good dog monitors the shop. Shes the best employee

Ethnic and auotantic place, ı was very nice hour trade roots . I guess should be visit again

I’ve been frequenting Trade Roots as long as it’s been in Westover. I LOVE IT! I can always find a great gift or something fun. Love the coffee bar because it’s cozy, comfy and relaxing. The owner recently started global dinners and evening events which just makes it more appealing. There’s wine and beer, food and friends. It’s more than a “shop”.....it’s got the passion, personality and individuality of the owner and those who work there and it weaves the local community,with the global community. I love it.

Unexpectedly, this small coffee shop and also gift shop is a true jewel. Service with a smile and quality coffee and tea are gladly distributed in a wonderful environment. Truly worthy of a visit.

The drinks have a very rich and delicious flavor! I love the calm setting! It makes me feel cozy and at home. I recommend Trade roots to everyone!

Great coffee and a warm atmosphere. We walked in on a cold weekday morning and found a warm shop full of working students and professionals. There were very few seats available, since everyone was so snuggled in. They had 4 brewed coffees available - a really nice selection! The pastries werent great choosings, but at least they had some options. The service was fast and friendly.

Adorable, worldly, quaint store you will not find many places in this area

So cute! Went in to meet with a friend and work on my computer. They had the friendliest and nicest barista’s/cashiers there, they had really cute merchandise and affordable prices. Will be back!

I love this store! I’m so happy to see it grow. They now offer tea and coffee. I visited the store for a fundraising event for another non-profit. Really enjoyed it.

Nice little gift shop with yummy baked goods

All in one place...fair trade, products from around the world, as well as local...I consider it the United Nations of fair trade products in Arlington. The staff is awesome and you can even get a cup of coffee from Tanzania, Rwanda, and more!!! I love my Thai pants!!!

Trade Roots has the most creative selection of gifts and items for all tastes and ages. I have bought beautiful and unique gifts for clients, friends, and for me! Each time I visit this one of a kind store, I discover new gifts I cannot wait to purchase. And to know that I am supporting such a great cause makes the shopping experience a pure joy. I encourage you to come by and enjoy the hospitality of this warm and caring staff and owner and find that treasure of a gift you are not able to find any where else.

Beautiful selection of fair trade clothing, jewelry, household items, and so on. Owned by some really kind and lovely people. There’s a cafe in one corner of the shop- it’s a perfect spot to work or relax!

Great shop! Amazing treasures from all over the world at incredible prices, and wonderful customer service. Please open one in Maine!

A perfect spot for a cup of tea on a gorgeous spring afternoon. Great selection at the coffee/wine bar. Friendly staff. Great selection of Fair Trade gifts.

Unique gifts, funky shop with tasty lunches and snacks, and coffees and teas, wine + beer, Wi-Fi for a cozy Work From Home Day... perfect! A true gem in Westover Village!

Beautiful ethically made gifts (jewelry, home goods, baby toys, towels & blankets). I found some great handkerchiefs.

I love the rotation of pop ups! Wine and beer is a tasteful addition. Trade Roots is such a unique hidden treasure of Arlington + NoVa! (Cafe is just a bonus to the exquisite collection of fair trade pieces). So dynamic!

Trade Roots = CommunityIdeal for unique gifts, excellent coffee, pop-up international dinners, and you are likely to strike up a conversation with a new friend.A jewel amongst us.

Always the most unique items from around the globe... a great stop when you need a quick, unique gift!

Trade Roots has an astounding variety of unique and excellently crafted items from all over the world. The customer service is fantastic. Its truly the most wonderful independent store in Arlington.

Love coming here for their chill atmosphere, tea, and pot pies. Lovely place!

Very friendly staff. Great unique items. Stopped In while visiting family. Loved the concept of fair trade and empowering women.

I am disabled and couldnt find a way in the store that was accessible. If there is an accessible entrance, I didnt see a sign directing me to where it was. Too bad - really wanted to check it out.

I’ve worked in and out of the Westover area for about 10 years. I’ve driven and walked past where this shop is so many times. It was once a record store, then a “trade roots” shop, but I never bothered to go in because I was always pre-occupied with work. But within the past year or so, I gave myself a break and treated myself to a visit, only to be pleasantly surprised that it included a coffee shop! Browsing the store was my therapy for the day and the atmosphere was so awesome. I was really into everything and felt an excitement about the whole concept of helping others and helping myself to this treat! I remember walking out of there with a new lease on life. I knew I had to go back because it was totally up my alley and I was curious to meet the person who owned such a cool place. Anyway, I finally went back because I hadn’t yet tried there coffee. Turns out, they have the BEST coffee in the entire VA/DC/MD area! Who knew? I knew at that moment. Because I’ve tried it all, and Illy used to be my favorite coffee (the Italian Store is literally across the street) but after I tried the espresso at Trade Roots, I was instantly hooked and have never looked back. Trust me. Try the espresso. Get a latte, an americano, you name it. I don’t know what it is with theirs, I’ve even tried the $80 a pound Kopi Luwak coffee before and it doesn’t compare. (Please Google it lol) So, long story not so short, I make it my duty to go back there each week to not only take a break for myself, but to really make a difference in other people’s lives, which I believe life is all about. And, if I’m going to drink coffee anyway, I would much rather be in an inviting atmosphere that makes me feel good, slow me down, and know that literally everything in the store is fair trade. Oh, and did I mention the espresso is the best I’ve ever tasted? They have it all, unusual teas, real matcha, Vietnamese coffee, Turkish coffee...

Shopping for a gift for friends, an unusual birthday card, or clothes for myself followed by a leisurely meet up with a friend at Trade Roots cafe is my idea of a perfect afternoon in Arlington. People visiting this neighborhood (Westover) should look no further for a snack and bevvy—go to Trade Roots for delicious coffees teas and pastries and have a sit-down alone or with company at this one of a kind, friendly locally owned shop.

Quirky. Friendly neighborhood place.

Cool vibe, great place for coffee with a friend. Saw some beautiful freshwater pearls and some lovely necklaces.

This is my second time stopping by here. Its great place for a coffee and they have many interesting crafts in the store worth checking out.

Quite a cozy and fun (coffee) shop! Lots of personality with unique and beautiful gifts!

In the store, there are some incredible items! The only reason there are 4 stars is because things can get a bit pricey but that aside its wonderful!

Great shop. Awesome coffee.
