Camelias Game Machine $1 Plays
Victor V.

So growing up I remember whenever we would go to a local fast food joint and get a breakfast sandwich-it was always a good experience. Funny thing is that years later when I had kids, none of them really loved breakfast sandwiches, so there was a long window of time when I just didn't eat them very much. Now of course they are adults and their palates have finally developed and they love breakfast sandwiches as much as I do, though now they prefer the fancy ones vs the cheap ones I grew up on. That brings us to Camellia Coffee Roasters. Just about every foodie person I respect or ranking article I came across on the subject always ranked this shop as a top 2 or 3 spot for breakfast sandwiches in the Sacramento-area.So you know I had to try em out. They are located in the historic R street district of Sacramento. They have their own parking lot, so parking is a breeze. Walking up to the shop they have both inside and outside tables for customers to enjoy their coffee and food. Both times I went to this shop there was a pretty good line to place an order and the line doesn't move too quickly but it's a pleasant environment-so it's not too bad to deal with. They do offer coffee and specialty drinks at their location-both times I ordered a hot mocha($7.00) Breakfast sandwiches here usually run around $13.50 and with that you get one item,either bacon, sausage or veggie and for $2.00 each you can add on additional items. So yes these sandwiches can get pretty pricey pretty fast. One of my visits, I also got a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese.($5.00) Here are some of the breakfast sandwiches we've tried: -a breakfast sandwich with bacon-sausage-veggie -a breakfast sandwich with bacon and veggie -a breakfast sandwich with bacon and chili verde pork Let's talk about em. First off the coffee is pretty good-solid mocha-had it twice and wouldn't hesitate to have it a third time-I liked it. My favorite breakfast sandwich is kind of obvious-the one with bacon-sausage and veggie.It truly was just made so perfect, the bread was so soft and pillowy with a great chew.The eggs were made so well, great texture, great flavor and it was the perfect amount where it didn't overwhelm the sandwich yet filled you up where you felt you were having a decent meal.The bacon,sausage, veggie combo might be too much for some but as a bonafide foodie who lives for awesome culinary experiences-this was the right combo-every bite was great and it was a bummer when it was gone. My second favorite was just the bacon and veggie-a lot of the same reasons,minus the extra benefit from the sausage, but still a truly standout sandwich. Here's the thing, the chili verde pork version was a weekend special and I mean no disrespect having it third ranked because it was an incredible dish, if those other two didn't exist, I would be screaming from the mountain tops telling others how great this was, but the other versions exist so this one's third. Overall, Camellias is a very special place serving a very special dish and we are lucky that a place like this exists in our city and I can say without a doubt that this is my favorite breakfast sandwich shop in Sacramento at this time.

Cozy spot with delicious coffee. Unfortunately I wasn't hungry but I really wanted to try their sandwiches which list a Cholula aioli - sounds interesting. The cortado was strong and tasty but tasted maybe slightly burnt. (As it intentional?). The basic coffee brew was a bit citrusy and served hot but not too hot - so if that's your vibe cool... if not ask for it to be hotter. Nice options to sit inside in the AC or find a spot on the patio. On a Saturday it was nice and quiet and cozy.

Camellia Coffee Roasters is named after Sacramento's city flower, the camellia, and they also support the local Camellia Society. They started out as a wholesale coffee roaster in Sacramento before opening their own café. I tried their signature Horchata Cold Brew and really enjoyed it. The sweetness was just right and not overpowering, making it a great drink for a hot summer day. They're also known for their breakfast sandwiches. The eggs were super fluffy and cooked perfectly. The café has high ceilings, good airflow, and a beautiful mural on the wall. The vibe is modern with an industrial feel. Parking is easy with free street parking nearby. A fun bonus: they have a claw machine where you can try your luck and win a coffee or breakfast sandwich. Hours: 7 AM-4 PM daily.

I didn't expect much. My first time here. I was just hungry and wanted a breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was delicious!! You place your order at the counter and they give you a number. They will bring your order out to you. The place does get busy at times. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. The place is very spacious. I ordered a breakfast egg sandwich with bacon and added some veggies. They cook the veggies in with the egg. Almost like an omelette/scramble style. The sandwich was very well presented. Wrapped in paper and in a little bag, very neat. It was hot and the bun was soft and toasted. The egg was not over cooked, where the egg can be dry. It was to the right temp where the egg was a little soft scrambled. The sandwich tasted really good and filling. I love that they give you the option to add veggies. I did not order anything to drink. Maybe I will try their drinks at another time. Parking is street parking. Downtown street parking can be a little challenging at times.

Fast and friendly service. Parking lot and street parking available seating available inside as well as outside extra plus that this is dog friendly! Unique coffee, crane machine, one dollar to play variety of menu items that you can win from the game. Casual and relaxed vibe.

I love Camellia! This continues to be one of my favorite coffee places in Midown, especially their horchata cold brew and breakfast sandwich. If you come during the weekend though, come early cause there's a line and they don't do online orders on weekends.

Wanted something simple and quick. Looked at Yelp and found Camellia. This place is the bomb. I love it. It's small and cozy. Food is wonderful and staff are friendly. I love the horchata latte. And their special sandwich, shredded pork & eggs. So yummy. Give this place a try. You won't regret it.

Super popular breakfast and coffee spot in downtown Sacramento. Arrived on a Sunday morning at 10 and it was completely packed. Every table is full and there is a line of 10-15 groups snaking around the restaurant. The vibes are immaculate though, a dusty pink theme throughout with consistent cartoonish drawings on their cups, coffee beans, and signage. So many people, dogs, and babies. I do think this is a millennial and up age group, not many younger folks. They do have quite a bit of staff working hard behind the counter. On a cold gloomy day, this place is extremely cozy with the large bright windows. There is also seating outside! The horchata cold brew really does taste like cereal milk in the best way. The coffee flavor is actually very mild, but that may be a symptom of oat milk flavor taking over. Frequently referred to as the best breakfast sandwich in Sacramento, this place had my standards sky-high. The breakfast sausage and egg was definitely unique - the textures were all fluffy and soft, the brioche bun and folded egg omelette. The cheese was light but flavorful and the sauce balanced everything out nicely. I would say this is a solid breakfast sandwich, more untraditional, and definitely a must try if you're interested. We also ordered a salmon and lox everything bagel sandwich that was also delicious! I would have loved a bit more smoked salmon for balance but the scallion dill cream cheese was super flavorful! I would say both sandwiches were on the milder side flavor-wise but still extremely good!

Came here to pick up some food like always although I had to use the bathroom and when I went in some had mess up the toilet if you know what I mean. There also a bunch of dolls up on the display. I know that once you own your own cafe you may decorate as one pleases although it's giving a little bit of clutter. Or maybe it's just me Mybad. The appeal to a place was edgy and trendy at first. It's in a located in an old industrial area. Anyhow the food is always fire and the customer service makes up for the other stuff I suppose.

I came to Camellia on a Tuesday afternoon and even then it was still packed with people. The inside of shop is very cute and spacious. It's a perfect spot to study or do some work (which I was doing). They have a little claw machine filled with coffee cups that have certain awards. They also carry their own beans near the line to order. I got my usual vanilla latter with oat milk and while the vanilla syrup was not my favorite their coffee itself packed a really good punch. It was light and made you feel like you can take on the day. I was able to get the work I needed done with it. They also had food options that looked very good. I would definitely come back here again to try some of their other drinks as well as their food.

Love their bagel breakfast sandwiches and iced coffees. Plenty of street parking. Order, pay, they call you when drinks are ready to be picked up and will deliver food to your table if dining in. Love all the plants.

Horchata cold brew with oat milk
Amy N.

First time here. The horchata coffee with oat milk is delish!! I had the breakfast sandwich with a bagel. It was tasty as well. It was busy today on a Sunday morning. The service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I'll definitely be back again.

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out.

The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

Really fun little restaurant that really captures that homey Southern charm…read more We were seated right away, and the host was really nice and fun, offering his recommendations without us even having to ask. Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized. Not as huge as your typical diner portions, but still large enough that you could probably expect some leftovers.

The beignets reminded us of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Our table staff was also excellent, attentive, and friendly. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a disappointing start. While we were standing closest to the greeter's desk, the gentleman seating guests seemed to overlook us and asked another couple if they were next in line. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.
