    We stumbled upon the cafe while waiting for lunch. The cafe is in the middle of the Milagro Centre. They offered different coffees, plenty of teas and also sandwiches. There was only one staff member at the time so it took a while to order and get a drinks. We got the kids hot chocolate and Horchata Latte. The latte was rich and creamy and we loved it. The kids drinks were a good size and not too hot which was nice. There were several tables in the front of the cafe and more around the centre. So it was nice to sit and take our time.

    This review if for the coffee truck they currently have in midtown. They have a few lattes, teas and baked goods. The vibe walking by is very lively and upbeat. The music was a little too loud but the barista turned it down when we came in. The service was very fast and the barista was very pleasant. I ordered the Dulce Canelo which was a 10/10 and the Chocolate banana bread also 10/10, it was very moist. This is a great spot for people to sit and sip right off of 28th st. & Valley way. Although seating space is limited.

    Had a little time on my hands so decided to stop and smell the...coffee. I ordered the Mexican Mocha for there. I love when I'm given an actual cup and saucer for eat-in at a coffee shop. There's just something special about sipping a coffee drink from a ceramic cup. The Mexican Mocha was wonderful. Great mix of cocoa and cinnamon with a rich coffee taste. Milagro is a wonderful Carmichael treat, offering up so many restaurants. It means this is a super place for people watching too. The staff was friendly and service was speedy. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    The barista was friendly, but not very helpful--she admitted she hasn't tried any of the drinks because she doesn't "drink that kind of stuff." ‍ I ordered an iced dirty lavender matcha with oat milk, and honestly, it was just okay. On top of that, she was the only one working, so orders before mine took priority, which made the wait much longer than expected. If you're looking for a spot to sit, relax, and have a conversation, the ambience is nice for leisure time. But if you're just trying to grab a drink and go, this isn't the place.

    I wasn't sure they were open since Milagro looked shut down, but they were. Plenty of parking and seating.

    The only cafe at the Milagro Center, I used to come here quite often! Cute spot with lots of plants and seating. I usually like to support small businesses, what gives me pause is when I'm charged $.50 to add a splash of soy milk in my coffee. Is it me? Does that seem petty to charge for that? Anyway, I suppose when Starbucks lets you add milk or soy without any charge (or any other cafe that I have been to for that matter), it seems a bit petty to charge extra for this. In addition, when my daughter ordered a hot tea and asked for honey to be added, it was also going to cost an extra $.50. It's like In'n'Out charging money for a ketchup packet. (Restaurants do this in Australia, heaven forbid that ever happens in the US.) Anyone who knows me will say that I am "all about the principle." I just can't bring myself to pay $.50 for a tablespoon of non-dairy creamer to add to my coffee smh.

    Café Madre is located inside the Milagro Centre in Downtown Carmichael This was my first visit at this cafe. It is between a gelato shop and a Mexican restaurant. Temps were in mid 80's today but felt like in the 90's. I ordered refresher drinks, Golden Lemonade and Madre Berry, I love the tart on the Madre Berry which included coconut water, strawberries, cardamon, and lemonade but my favorite was the Golden Lemonade with pineapple and turmeric (ordered it twice). I also ordered the Pizza Sandwich. It was okay but I'm not a fan. It's a pepperoni and cheese pizza sandwich-style. It came with chips. The two young employees were fast but when they are slammed with customers have patience as they try to get the orders out as fast as they could. Seating is limited inside but if you step outside you can enjoy your food and drink in a covered outdoor food court common area. Review #2605

    Comfy, earthy cafe with plenty of food and drink options!…read more Visited on a Sunday afternoon after taking an exam nearby. Service was friendly and helpful. My order was finished quick. I picked up my drink across where I ordered and then I picked up my food from a separate place when the device they gave me buzzed. What I ordered: * Chia seed pudding $7 - coconut chia seed pudding with coconut flakes, strawberry jam, and granola. Generously stuffed into a round container. Delicious. Inspires me to make chia seed pudding at home. * Hot earl grey creme tea $4 - I added honey. Perfect balance of citrus and black tea flavors. Came in a big paper cup, but had the option of having it in a tea pot and pouring it myself. Note they have a card surcharge of 2.9%. I was able to find a comfy seat with a round table. There were a lot of people but still enough seating and not too loud inside. The music was relaxing. Loved all the natural light and cozy, earthy vibes. For fellow matcha lovers, I saw a sign they use Mizuba matcha. It was already late afternoon and I had a matcha latte earlier so I chose not to get a matcha latte. If I'm around the area and come back soon though, I'd love to try their seasonal summer offering of the coconut matcha cloud. They also had a pastry case next to the register. The savory items sounded great too, so there's lots of items I'm interested in trying from here. Would recommend if you're looking for a nice, spacious cafe to relax or do some work!

I was able to get a happy hour discount on my drink, and I chose a Zen Garden which is a jasmine milk tea with matcha layered on top, and I added lychee jelly and sea salt foam as well.

I came here on a Saturday evening at around 6 PM. The 'barista' was quiet, reserved, not someone who should be working in a café. Not welcoming. Not personable. I have a phin filter at home and often make my own vietnamese iced coffees. This place offers Vietnamese Iced Coffees and describes it as "Phin filtered coffee with condensed milk" but this is absolutely leaving out crucial details regarding the preparation of this beverage... like, if it is premade and left in the fridge for hours or made from powder, it doesn't go into these details and it should. I went inside, ordered, and went into the bathroom. Although there are many amenities in the bathroom, there is no door handle lol, I have never seen this. It is GHETTO. It's just a door with a handle lock. The hole where the door handle should be, is covered by some type of colored cardboard LOL. I have been to some ratchet, rundown restaurants and cafes but they ALWAYS have a bathroom with a door handle LOL. Ok - back to the coffee... I was quick in the bathroom and the coffee was done in less than 2 minutes. The coffee was either premade and left in a carafe to become stale (because WOW it tasted SO stale) or it was not truly made in a phin filter. I'll never return to this cafe, like, yoy can't even do Vietnamese iced coffee right?? Gross. Stale. Ghetto. No thanks.

After a few weeks a month ago with staffing enough to be open, things now are going well. They have enough help, the hours are again long and seven days a week.

They were incredibly rude, and refused and lied to me. And then mocked me as I was on the phone to corporate about it afterwards. Corporate confirmed that his statement was a lie as well.

If you cannot resolve a problem, or if it is an ongoing issue, you should escalate it to someone with the expertise and authority to address consumer concerns. Do not wait for customers to approach you after the situation has already deteriorated, especially when a flippant response has shifted the tone of the interaction. Another option would have been to table the conversation for a later time or on a different day until more information was available. What began as a discussion about a product concern quickly became focused on a employee instead of the issue itself. The manager appeared to become frustrated, stated to understand the main concern, yet responded with an unnecessarily intense tone and level of defensiveness. There was considerable deflection, repetition, and what felt like half-truths rather than a sincere effort to work toward a mutual solution. The manager should remember that they represent the Root of Happiness brand. We have been patronizing Root of Happiness for at least 10 years, long before the owners expanded to the Roseville, Midtown, and Rocklin locations. Additionally, over the last few weeks, the Justin's Peanut Butter Cups have seemed unusually dry. It may be the result of a bad batch from the vendor or the effects of extreme weather conditions impacting the product's quality.
