    Wow what a selection!
    Donovan H.

    It almost seems as if the small, independent coffee shops are few and far between. And when I mean small, we're talking about a one-person owned and operated business that's tucked in a residential area in the suburbs. That is just what you'll find at "Java Cherry" and this place has got to be one of Citrus Heights hidden gems that is definitely worth checking out. Located directly on Van Maren Ln (and about 50 feet from busy Auburn Blvd.), the easiest way to find Java Cherry is that its within walking distance to 7-Eleven and directly across the street from a Rite Aid. Truth be told is that I live less than 1/2 mile from this place and I drive past it every single day on my way to my job in Roseville. And I have always asked myself why I didn't come here sooner? As I previously mentioned in the first paragraph, Java Cherry is a one-person show that is owned by Louise. She has been in operation since 2012 and has made some very unique drink offerings ever since. Her hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 5am-6pm, Saturday from 6am-4pm, and closed on Sunday. My lovely lady and I decide on coming here on a Saturday afternoon around 3:00pm as we both finally want to see what this place is all about. Upon entering, you feel as if you stepped into someone's living room from a bygone era. There are lovely and stylish chairs and sofas as well as some quirky pictures with quotes throughout. Do keep in mind that this place is small, very small where you can only fit no more than 5 of 6 people total. There also is no Wi-Fi here; the main focus is to actually engage in human conversation by putting your smartphones away! The menu speaks for itself; I would have to say that there are over 100 customizable drinks that are offered. You get your basic house coffees, lattes, mochas, espressos, frappes, teas, and hot chocolates but there are a ton of different syrups & sauces to add to any drink. Some of the out-of-the-ordinary offerings I saw were marshmallow, peppermint patty, bourbon caramel, peanut butter, and cupcake. I think of this place being more of a coffee/smoothie shop since many shops don't have such an elaborate assortment as Java Cherry does. As it was our first time experience for both my lady and I, we decide to keep it simple. I order a 16 oz. white mocha frappe while she goes for a 16 oz. iced vanilla latte. Total price is around $8.00 (including tax) which is still a couple bucks less than the big boy stores (such as Starbucks and Peet's). The white mocha frappe was delicious and not too overbearingly sweet. The iced vanilla latte also had very delicious flavor that she enjoyed. One thing that won me over is that Louise spoke to us as one of her regular customers. Her conversation was so relaxing and humble by making the whole experience that much better. Overall, Java Cherry is an independent coffee shop definitely worth checking out. And if you're in a hurry, you can call ahead your order and Louise will have it ready for you. There is also a preferred coffee card; purchase 10 drinks and get the 11th free. Finally, she has a Facebook and Twitter page where you can see many more of her unique drink selections. All in all, this is a place I will definitely start coming to and considering its right down the street from my house, I'll be back very soon!

    Hidden Coffee Bar ended up being a really cool experience. Met Austin, the owner, and we…read moreimmediately got into it on coffee, gear, sourcing, all the fun stuff. I'll be honest, the Ethiopian I started with wasn't really showing how I expected. It felt a little muted and flat to me. But here's where it flipped, he actually checked back in, asked what I thought, and instead of brushing it off, he was like "yeah... you're right." That alone tells you a lot. He pivoted and brewed up a Mexican that absolutely slapped. Clean, expressive, way more dialed. From there we just geeked out for a bit talking single origins, roasting approaches, equipment, all of it. That level of awareness and willingness to adjust in real time is rare, and it's what makes a place worth coming back to. I'm really interested to see how he continues to shape the program here. This feels like a shop that's still evolving in a good way.

    I was looking for a random coffee place to get coffee and/or matcha before I left Sacramento, and I…read morehappened to stumble upon this locally owned coffee shop in Roseville, not too far from where I was having my conference at. I was honestly so excited to go to this place. This coffee bar is actually quite hidden, as they are located right behind the Village General Store on Vernon. There's quite a bit of parking when the storefront is closed, so you wouldn't even expect a wait at all. They have such a spacious patio as well (if you want to sit down and have a good time chatting it up with your other friends), and such big space to wait if you don't want the patio. I got one of their oatmeal cookies as well as their Matcha lattes. What I didn't know was that their oatmeal cookies were gluten free, and they were sourced and made locally by artisans here in Roseville. They also used quite premium-grade matcha that made it taste really good with the whole milk they mixed in eventually. The ambiance and the hospitality was one of the best out there, and I can't wait to be back the next time I'm in Sacramento!

I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.

I wished there were more spots to sit comfortably. After a few minutes our drinks were called & instead of sticking around we decided to take it to go since we weren't comfortable space wise. I ordered a hot mocha and was looking forward to the drink on a cold day! I was disappointed that my drink was only lukewarm. I was able to microwave it upon getting home & all was well! Would definitely recommend as a great spot to get coffee to go.
