    One of the best parts of Yelp is finding those diamonds in the rough. Rio Java Coffee House is easy to miss in the Food 4 Less shopping center at Rio Linda Blvd and Elkhorn, but it is worth a drive. You can literally see the Starbucks across the street from inside the coffee shop! Parking is decent and shared with the rest of the center. The outside is rather unassuming, but the sticker on the front door announcing their use of Temple Coffee was a really good sign. Inside, the owners have turned a rather basic commercial space into a nice and homey design with soft furniture and fun signs on the wall. The menu is rather expansive with a focus on espresso drinks. They do offer prepackaged food. On my visit I got a nice espresso and an old fashioned Moon Pie. The wait time was a bit long, but there was only one person working so that is expected. The coffee was worth the wait especially given the lack of good places in the area. The basic espresso was pulled nicely, and the other customers seemed to enjoy their drinks as well. Now that we are coming out of our COVID shells, it is a perfect time to meet a friend at a coffee shop. Rio Java Coffee House is perfect for those living in Rio Linda, but it is also a short drive from North Natomas or North Highlands too. A little rough around the edges, but who isn't these days!

    Best coffee ever hands down! Has nothing on star bucks, Dunkin' Donuts or Dutch bros.

    Every time I walk out of Pinkberry,I always have the same thought-why do I not go here more often…read more The quality of their yogurt is so high and the fact that they offer pomegranate flavor frozen yogurt is just such a showstopper. Well let's talk about my most recent visit to Pinkberry in Natomas located on N Freeway Blvd. So I am part of their rewards program and have been for many years.What they offer for their birthday rewards is $5.00 of any order-so I know that a small yogurt with unlimited toppings costs $7.99-so with my birthday rewards-this would only be a $2.99 item-which felt like a great deal. This yogurt shop is located in a multi tenant shopping center anchored by Target and "BJ's"-so parking is plentiful. When I arrived I was the only customer-during the extent of my visit only 2 other customers came in-not sure if it's because it's just a slow time or if they just don't have a lot of customers. The worker was super friendly and I placed my order of a small pomegranate flavor yogurt with raspberries-strawberries-pineapple & blueberries. It was made perfectly-it tasted so light and with all the fruit toppings almost felt healthy-it was a truly guilt-free treat-I enjoyed it thoroughly. In closing-when I left this Pinkberry location,I was very happy with their product and the price and like I said earlier,I want to make sure I come back here more often-awesome experience.

    This Pinkberry location has been opened for just around a year's time, and because of where they're…read moresituated in the shopping center they pretty much go unnoticed. Please notice them! This was such a great experience. The place is clean, the staff is super nice and very helpful, and what more could you ask for?! They generously offered us samples, all of which were phenomenal. I've always been a fan of their original flavor. It's tart, slightly sweet, and you can enjoy it as is or with the tons of toppings that they offer. If you want to do it upright, you definitely want to pair it with another flavor, or create your own creation with some of the other flavors. The mango is absolutely perfect. It's sweet, creamy, and doesn't have that too much of a good thing flavor. It absolutely is just right. The toppings range from boba, fruit, to a variety of sweet items (candies) This is definitely a place that we will be visiting often. You should too!

    I've been here since they opened last year, but this has to be the best soft-serve ice cream place…read morein Sacramento, along with the maiko in south sac. 5 rotating flavors, and swirl options! So good! Their classic milk is my favorite, but the cookies and cream, or Thai tea is also delicious. Somisomi is know for their boong uh ppang, or taiyaki and it's so delicious as well. They also do ah-boong, where they serve the soft serve in the taiyaki. Somisomi is a chain, but they have the best soft serve in town! This time I tried the cold brew float and the amount of soft serve and the quality of cold brew was great for just 5.95 (at the time of writing). There was only one employee working on the weekend. She was super courteous and so efficient at both taking orders and crafting beautiful looking beverage. I hope management acknowledges her work!

    I've been a SomiSomi fan since they opened their very first locations in the Arcadia mall, so I was…read moreexcited to see them branch out to Sacramento! I went with the Matcha x Milk swirl topped with Oreo crumbs and a strawberry. As a matcha lover, I did find the flavor really mild I prefer a more matcha-forward taste rather than rich, heavy creaminess. However, since they aren't a specialized matcha shop, it's still a decent option. I've noticed the soft serve isn't quite as premium as it used to be years ago. It melted incredibly fast( which might indicated mostly air ) and the flavor was lacking. Service was friendly and quick, there's no seating just a long bar table for people to stand. It's still a fun spot and a good addition to the Natomas food scene
