I've been a big fan of North Fork Chai since learning some of our favorite coffee shops use their…read moreconcentrate. Since then I've ordered bottles from their website shipped to myself, and to others as gifts. BUT whenever I have the chance to visit their cafe in Newcastle I make a point to. It's right off the 80 and an easy stop if you're heading East that way from Sacramento. There's a large parking lot and the building is easy to find once you know what to look for- but if you're heading East on 80 it's a right off the exit and then almost an immediate left into a little business area- I've missed the turn more than once and had to turn around. The cafe itself is on the smaller side, but they have plenty of covered "outdoor" seating, I put it in quotations because a lot of the seating is very well covered even though it's still outdoors. Inside you'll find their handwritten menus posted on craft paper as well as printed menus by the cash register. They have coffee, matcha, chai, breakfast sandwiches, paninis, and pastries. Everything here is delicious and every time I've stopped in the staff has been so friendly. On my latest visit I bought a bottle of Chai concentrate, some cowboy candy, their house Chipotle sauce, a dirty pumpkin chai with a cold foam, and the NFCC panini and they through in a little pumpkin scone as a bonus. It's alays such a treat to stop in and even better when I get to take goodies home to make more food and drinks myself with their amazing ingredients. I also like that they highlight other local businesses by selling honey, spices, pottery and other items in their store. I'd highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area or passing through.

I love this spot & wish it was closer. We've visited a couple of times & the flavors we've had here…read moreare so delightful & delicious. It's a small place where you can put in your order & browse some of the non-food merchandise they sell like branded clothing & cups. You might also find food & drinks like refrigerated veggie items, kombucha, different pantry items, nuts, honey, or frozen items. They offered samples for Thai Cucumber Salad on one visit. They also have their own line of seasonings & chai concentrate (more on this later). The line moves at a decent pace. There is a lot of seating found in an adjacent room to the side of the pick up window, a patio area with umbrellas, a bench, & other nearby tables. So far we've ordered THE BEST Dirty Chai Latte (both hot & iced) that I've ever had & an iced Lavender Latte (so freshly floral) to drink. We've also had a few scones--Blueberry Meyer Lemon (my absolute FAVE scone I've ever ordered from anywhere!!), Black Bottom, Gluten Free Blueberry, & Chocolate Chip with Chai Glaze (with our lucky timing being when a freshly made batch came out). All have been SO tasty with a tender interior. Note--they update the menu board when they run out of scone flavors or they become available again. We've experienced both just straightforward customer service, & a friendly & helpful staffer who answered our questions & didn't rush us even when it was busy. Back to their Chai Concentrate--We were so enamored with their latte that we bought a bottle. Then we had to go back to buy more bottles. They'll be a pantry staple from now on. We love the stuff so much! It's always joyful to experience a place & say something is the best I've ever had! Just yum!

I got the blueberry pie latte and it was so refreshing and tasted so much like blueberry I loved it. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 stars is because I feel like they have a little bit of a more sour (idk how to really describe it) espresso shot, maybe from a shorter brew time or an under extracted shot but nonetheless the coffee was still great. It came out quick, along with my two other friends' coffees and the seating was nice. I definitely prefer some other shops over this one but it's still a solid spot!!

The food is delicious, but they also have the very best matcha and chai lattes in town! Not only that, but it's a very dog friendly location! You can bring your pup to sit out on the patio, and a couple times we've been there they even brought out a piece of bacon for my boy! Could not recommend more!

The price point is on the higher side but the quality is excellent. Note parking on the weekends are a premium, just relax, find a parking spot somewhere else and walk over, you won't be disappointed. ;-)

I absolutely love Newcastle Produce! I've frequented this wonderful place for many years, finding…read moreunique sauces and fantastic local products... but what I really go out of my way for are the scones and the coffee. They serve the incredible local java from Valiant Coffee which is my personal favorite for lattes and always lifts my mood. I live in Rocklin and a 25 minute drive for a cup of coffee might seem silly, but wow is it magical to me. The scones are unbeatable and they have the most unique and creative flavors. Lately I've enjoyed the s'mores scones and the mocha scones (which are made with decaf, in case anyone is worried) but they've always got something unique and delicious in the pastry case. My partner loves their BYO sandwiches for lunch, and while I haven't tried them, they look delicious. When I'm hungry I go for the outstanding avocado toast. Everything is locally sourced and the balsamic/olive oil they dress the arugula with adds a flavor bomb that I can't get enough of! Service is always kind and courteous, and they give you a sticker for every espresso drink or sandwich you order... the 10th ones are free. Go support this wonderful local grocer/deli/coffee shop. I'm sure you'll leave with something enchanting.

There were plenty of goodies to choose from like pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, cake slices, brioche bread with fruit, cinnamon rolls and several other products for sale. Their cake of the week was a mocha cake! It has layers of chocolate cake with an Expresso milk soak, frosted with expresso buttercream frosting with a chocolate ganache drip, topped with cocoa nuts... WOW!!! The artisanal breads are located on the side of the shop when you walk up towards the case. They have many flavors like roasted sourdough, pumpkin seed, kalamata olive, rosemary & lemon, and more! All breads are preservative free and made with organic flour. I decided to try the flourless brownie along with a ham and cheese croissant. I wanted something sweet and something savory. The flourless brownie was definitely my favorite of the two. It was rich, chocolatey, and had that creamy texture that you want from a good flourless brownie. It was a good size, too! The ham and cheese croissant itself was good and had a nice flaky texture, but I really wish there had been more ham and cheese inside. It felt a little light on the filling, especially compared to the size of the croissant. I absolutely enjoyed the flavor and flakey texture. It was a perfect crossiant, minus the ham and cheese part. The inside is cute but be prepared to get cozy with only a small amount of space to sit. Thankfully, they also have some outdoor seating if you want to hang out and enjoy your pastry there. I didn't get a picture of indoor or outdoor seating because they were a good amount of people enjoying their dining experience. I guess they know where the goodies are! Here! Overall, I liked discovering this little spot. Between the pastries, croissants, artisanal breads, and other goodies for sale, there was plenty to look at and definitely a few things I want to come back and try... and I'd for sure grab another one of those flourless brownies!

Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center lies this gem of a cafe!…read more I met up with a friend for brunch and brought our babies along. There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes. Overall the ambiance, food, and accessibility make this a great spot for brunch! Will definitely be coming back.

The service could have been better. The young woman at the register was helpful with food suggestions and patience. Thank you! Let's get to the price and service overall. I think the food is a bit pricey considering you have to order at the counter first. I paid 50+ for two people. Next, I recommend a protein plate option for people who have dietary restrictions outside of pork. That's very easy to do. Not 1 time did anyone check on us to see if we need anything such as condiments. I did leave a tip at the register when I ordered my food as it's part of the transaction process. 3 times in a short period of time and not at peak hour. I had to get up to ask for condiments. I had to get up to ask for to go containers and I had to get up a 3rd time for a to go container for my latte. They did not even say thank you for coming in. My daughter did say, thank you while walking out and someone said have a great day. 3 women at a slow peak hour, 9:30 -10:05, on Thursday, September 3 and nothing. Because of the service, I will not be back as I prefer to support businesses that value customer service and hospitality. Now let's get to the dumplings--no flavor at all. I did take home and will add some gyoza sauce and give to my granddaughter. It has potential, just season. Avocado toast was bland, but eggs were fluffy. I'm not sure if European eastern food is bland, and maybe so. I had to ask for ketchup and hot sauce. They should ask if we need anything else and how is everything. Again, it may be a cultural thing--I don't know. Portions are decent. Menu is pricey for cafe with no service and have to order at the front counter.
