    Big fan of the Nutty Honey!…read more If you're not a huge fan of super fruity smoothies like me, the Nutty Honey is a great option. Big plus if you're coming down from a sore throat since the honey helps with that. Friendly service and the workers were very helpful identifying which menu options are non-acidic. Essentially anything without pineapple or lemon is a good option. Small shop with a few outdoor tables available to enjoy your smoothie.

The outside building design/mural is really eye-catching and stand out amongst the neighborhood businesses. The inside mural of the Downtown bridge is a nice touch to the inside environment as well. When entering I saw what appeared to be either two entrances or two exits, and tried my luck on the right side first. That area happened to be for the superfood bowls and things like that are prepared, while the left side of Cap City Squeeze is for the smoothies only. The lady making the smoothies for really helpful with my questions, as far as what was most popular which helped me decide to get the Strawberry Thunder smoothie. The Strawberry Thunder was really good & refreshing, and the perfect choice. Overall: Very friendly and helpful staff. I'd recommend checking them out if in the area.

    I recently moved back to town and was excited to try this spot because it reminded me of a shop I…read moreused to love on W Capitol Ave. Walking in, I was happy to see a similar menu and felt nostalgic right away. Unfortunately, the service didn't match my expectations. After waiting in line, the woman at the register finished helping the customer ahead of me, then walked away without acknowledging me. I stood there for a bit until a young man noticed and kindly stepped in to take my order. I really appreciated his attentiveness and friendliness. While waiting for my two hibiscus lychee green teas, I noticed some confusion behind the counter. The employee preparing the drinks couldn't find the green tea and had to keep asking the same woman for help. She eventually took over, but the drinks didn't taste right. There was no green tea flavor, or lychee only hibiscus (I'm not saying she didn't add it, it didn't taste like it.) Honestly, the bigger issue for me was the lack of customer service. The previous location I used to visit always felt welcoming, so this was disappointing. A simple acknowledgment like "I'll be right with you" would have gone a long way. That said, I DO want to give credit to the employee who stepped in and helped me--he was polite and attentive. As for the woman with short hair, I hope she works on her customer service approach. I may come back to try the ice cream since I think it's Gunther's and that's always a safe tasty choice, but I likely won't be ordering the iced teas again. March 18,2026 @6:58ish pm

The people helping us were so fast and kind. We asked them what we should do later that night and they gave us good recommendations for out-of-towners. Our ice cream was delicious.

There's an afghan market next door where we got bread to-go! It is a perfect spot!

    This is a long overdue review, but Lenise's Café is easily one of the best cafés in Sacramento…read more From the hospitality to the service to how quickly everything comes out, they truly do it all right. I came here for brunch with friends and had an amazing experience. The owner Jeff is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect with great service, great food, and generous portions. I couldn't even finish my meal and had to take it home, and it still tasted just as good the next day. I've also been here for a friend's birthday during their karaoke wine night and it was such a fun and memorable experience. This place is truly a hidden gem in Sacramento and deserves way more recognition. I highly recommend the tri tip sandwich with their au jus. It is so good. The fries are amazing and their menu has great options from breakfast and brunch to dinner. The steak and potatoes is another standout for dinner and their desserts are also worth trying. Lani is such an amazing person and the overall atmosphere from the staff to the customers just makes you feel welcome. I genuinely love this place and have to stop myself from driving all the way into Sacramento just to eat here all the time.

After looking through the menu and making a decision, I went back up to the counter where you place your order with the cashier. I placed my order, received my number sign and sat down at a table. There is quite a bit of seating inside and outside as well. It was chilly so we sat inside. It was cozy and they've decorated for the holidays. I ordered the French dip panini special (has a few more things on the panini like chipotle aioli and grilled onions. It came with the au jus to dip the panini in. It was delicious and I pulls order it again. The flavor was fantastic and the aioli elevated it. I also had an iced mocha which was on the sweet side for me but still good. There is plenty of parking in the lot. And everyone in the restaurant was very nice and friendly.

It was a little on the sweet side so if you prefer or more mellow tea, still get this, but lower the sweetness level. It has a slight honey taste to it which I really enjoyed alongside the mango flavor. The tea was very mellow. This was one of the best teas that I've tried when it comes to a boba tea. It was a little bit on the expensive side mostly because I added 2 toppings , but well worth it. They also have plenty of other toppings to choose from, more than I've seen from other Boba places Yum!

I saw that they said a "Tiger" Milk tea, which is famously named since the brown super is added to gives the appearance of stripes inside of your cup. Seemed simple enough, thinking nothing of it and young girl who was very helpful. Asked if I was a medium or large, and then pointed at a 20 ounce and 32 ounce option. 32 ounces is honestly the largest size Boba I've ever seen but I opted for the 20oz instead. Should have read what their Tiger Tea version was more clearly, as I didn't expect their to be custard in my drink. A Tiger Milk Tea, is a fancy name/spin for a brown sugar milk tea, because of the "stripes" which I'm very familiar with. So I didn'texpect extra stuff ai wouldn'tnormally have, but if I had known. I would've just opted not to get it, or maybe have just asked for a simple brown sugar milk tea option. Overall: The drink wasn't bad; I definitely had to get used to the custard in my drink. Mostly because of the texture, as I wasn't really feeling it.

    If you used to ask for no ice, no top off, they would fill it up to that higher line. But now they…read morefill it one inch lower. They have also started charging for top off. Before, sometimes we would select top off and they would just fill it up with water. So hopefully with the new charge, it will be with tea instead of water. Additionally, they messed up our drinks. We asked for light or no sweet and all three drinks were super sweet. We used to come here every time we were in town, but because of these changes, we will go to other boba spots.

My own special praise for the people on deck while I was here: Zizi, Kaylynn, Joseph, Azriel, Vanessa, Bea, and Sili (see photos) were, as always, Outstanding. They really do stand out esp against 99% of the bars hereabouts (see my review on Shady Lady for a good laugh - I am not entirely just loving-kindness). Roots is my second office now - am so much more productive and creative here than in my office office. I hope you meet you here. I'm the guy in the corner facing the wall, dancing by himself.
