Yeah we sell chicory drinks (and dandelion root) at the natural foods store which I work at. I don't think they're really a replacement for coffee strictly speaking. I believe they're basically a comfort thing... It tastes like coffee, provides antioxidants and all that good stuff. But there's no caffeine. Some people do end up actually replacing their coffee drinks with this stuff due to their changing tastes as they drop the coffee. But do I think that, in regards to quitting coffee, the chicory root drinks can be used as a comfort, or stand-in for coffee. But in that sense, it's an aid for quitting, rather than a replacement. It doesn't exactly provide the same stuff to the body.
I haven't actually tried any roasted chicory drinks... Apparently they're pretty good though. There is also the option of brewing a drink with roasted cacao nibs, which supposedly makes a pretty good chocolatey drink.
