Cozy spot identified. Mint macchiato (caramel), beats Philz, I had my doubts but assuaged. Not a whole lot of seating so yall better not fw my spot, open til 5p with a couple hidden outlets. No bathroom? I didn't see and didn't ask Rachel asked for a fall spot and I think this one is a top tier candidate. Pls don't come 3:
Stopped here for a quick breakfast and wasn't disappointed. I got an overnight oats cup and it was super yummy! I'm not sure what all was in it, but it was topped with nuts, dates and maybe some dried fruit and made with almond milk. My son enjoyed the yogurt parfait and my husband loved the avocado breakfast croissant sandwich. It is a small coffee shop and seating is limited.
I only have one bad thing to say about this establishment and it's that it's not closer to where I live. I wish there was a Roots Coffee closer to me because one thing about this damn place- it will bless u the hell up. My friend and I got the brown sugar cinnamon oat milk latte and caramel macchiato alongside my avocado breakfast sandwich and her Cali Caprese and all I have to say is- wow. I was shocked that their pricing was so reasonable because a lot of coffee shops I know, especially in sac, are so expensive. The sandwiches were only $7.50 each and the coffees were around $7 as well for a 16oz. The people there were super nice and chill and the ambiance of the place was amazing. The vibe of the shop was super calm and chill and honestly pretty comforting. Good seating and even better coffee/food. Will def be coming back here again even tho it's so far!!
I hosted an event in the building. When we came back to tear down everything I noticed this coffee shop. The matcha was great and the staff friendly. I'll be back, next time I'm in the area!!!
I am a big fan of Roots coffee, literally one of my most favorite coffee shops in the Sacramento area. I've been a few times and the service is always so great and friendly! My favorite drink to get from there is the honey cream latte but I definitely want to try their seasonal menu in the fall/winter. I wish I had their recipe for the honey cream latte because I would make it at home everyday if I could because it's that good! I've also had their veggie bagel sandwich but replaced the bagel with the croissant. YUM! I love the interior and decor, it's so warm and welcoming. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that there's no nearby parking except for the garage parking. 10/10 highly recommend though!
Roots' house drip was so good! It had a vibrant, kind of buttery smooth flavor. I've recently moved from coffee with a bunch of stuff to just sugar (for dietary reasons) and I'm able to compare the house coffees much clearer now. This is great coffee! Because of weird, annoying dietary issues, I have to be that person everywhere I go who has a million questions and needs items removed but they were so kind in my requests. It was no problem at all! They have a yummy avocado breakfast sandwich on a buttery, flaky croissant. It is clean and I loved the plant vibe. All the greenery is so chill and inviting. They have comfy chairs, an issue at a lot of eateries and cafes. My only knock is that there's no much parking minus of course the DOCO, but that's kind of annoying to go to a cute little cafe. If I was at the DOCO for something else, then yes!
Stopped by roots coffee in sunny Sacramento. Parking was in the doco parking lot which was validated since we saw a movie but the parking would've been $18 for 3 hours. Service was extremely easy and quick. We were able to get our iced matcha lattes in under 5 mins after ordering. Very surprised to see that so kudos to the staff. The inside area has a few tables along with outdoor seating as well. It's calm, relaxing and not too noisy inside. 2 iced matcha lattes ran us about $16. Would be back to try other items on the menu.
Stopped by during one of my morning walks and it's the cutest coffee shop. The girl who took my order was super sweet. Forgot to take a picture of my coffee but I ordered the Honey Cream Latte! It was really good!!
I think I want to stay here forever. It is such a beautiful space with friendly staff. Very cozy but modern at the same time with lots of wood embellishments. There are so many great options for coffee and I noticed a lunch special of a drink and a sandwich for $13! That's a great deal and I want to come back for that. I ordered the Eggnog Chai. It was not my favorite but that's my own dang fault. It was very sweet, but what could I expect for egg nog? I want to come back and try other drinks! Not sure what the parking situation is here because I walked from my office, but I can imagine it might be a little rough being so close to the Golden 1 Center. Let me tell you, it's worth it. I almost had half a mind to gatekeep this place, but in the spirit of Yelp, you gotta check it out.
We passed by on our way to Reno, hubby had really wanted to come by again. We both really enjoyed our coffee, I would recommend you ask for littler in honey I didn't and it was a little too sweet for my taste but still enjoyed! Our daughter got a Chai she gets the same thing everywhere we go but she didn't like this one, she said it tasted like Horchata, first time ever she doesn't enjoy an ice chai and it ended up in trash.
I read that this cafe was rated one of the best in Sac so of course it was on my list to try! Luckily this spot is walkable from my office building so my coworkers and I were able to come by for a morning coffee run. The cafe space is small but still has decent amount of seating. The interior decor is very nature and earth-y with all of the greens and plants. It made the space feel cozy to be able to work remotely! The menu had a good variety of options including a seasonal menu. Both my coworker and I ordered the Matcha Summer Green except I got the Iced version and she got the Hot version. Our drinks came out fairly quickly from the moment we ordered. When sipping my drink, you can definitely taste the matcha but I tasted more of the white chocolate and lavender flavors that the Matcha Summer Green had. It wasn't too overpowering but it made the drink more elevated in my opinion. I think just having the lavender flavor and without the white chocolate would give a better balance but I still enjoyed the drink!
Overall, I have enjoyed every latte that I have gotten from here. The espresso flavor is always strong and never watered down, which I like. I'd highly recommend this place if you are in the area. Drink: (4.5/5) Abundance Iced Latte ($6.70): The abundance iced latte is a honey, cinnamon, and bourbon caramel flavored espresso latte. The drink was very delicious. It reminded me of Dutch Bros Golden Eagle. It was just as sweet so if you do not like sweet drinks, I'd recommend you ask for it to be less sweet. The bourbon flavor was not very strong which I liked because I was worried it would be strong. Service & Ambiance: (4/5) The service here is great. The staff are friendly and quick at making the drinks. I came in with a large party and our drinks were made within 15 minutes. The store itself is quite small, with approximately 3 to 5 tables all crammed in one area, so if you're hoping to study here, you won't get much private or personal space. The location itself is a little confusing if you're in the middle of DOCO since its tucked to the side of Urban Outfitters.
TLDR: probably one of the best Vanilla Lattes in a whilllllle. Service was so kind! Attentive staff and are quick, cute little pit stop in Sacramento and glad I stopped by. I got their combo for 1 Latte & 1 Bfast option, such a good deal with great coffee & food. Music is pure vibes.

A very cute coffee shop near our hotel. I tried some fun matcha drink that was called summer something but it was tasty. A good pick me up. We also tried their lox bagel and a breakfast croissant sandwich. Overall a very cute spot to hang out and relax away from the sun. read more

I was looking for a nearby coffee shop and saw this was a block away from an appointment. I viewed their Instagram page and noticed a lovely new spring menu. The carrot cake latte caught my eye. I placed my order with a friendly barista. She made sure to ask what size drink size (16 oz or 20 oz options for an iced drink) and if regular milk was okay. There were plenty of alternative milk options, but I believe there is an extra fee for adjusting so make sure to ask if that matters. I noticed a nice combo option on one of their signs offering a drink and bagel sandwich for $13, before 2 pm. Specific options only, but I will for sure try that next time. There were seating options inside and outside. It seemed like a decent spot to get some work accomplished in a relatively quiet environment. My drink was prepared quickly and had a good ratio of coffee to cheese foam. The cutest little carrot topping was added too. I actually wished there was a little more ice added to my drink. I went home and added it myself and the iced latte was my ideal temperature. read more

Cute coffee shop with a cozy, plant-filled vibe and very courteous staff. I got the $12 combo before 2pm, which included a caramel macchiato and a smoked salmon bagel, and both were delicious. I especially loved how generous they were with the pesto spread on the bagel. One thing to note is that the menu did not list individual item prices, but the combo felt like a great value. read more

Great spot with a large coffee list and available flavors as well as some great bites. I got the current special which is a large latte plus a bagel sandwich for 13$ and both are amazing. The bagel sandwich came with salmon, spinach, cream cheese, lemon zest, onion and pesto and truly had such delicious and fresh flavor. The coffee also was roasted well and enjoyable. Additionally the overall vibe of the shop is cozy, with lush greenery to contrast some fun tile detailing as well as a nice attached patio making it a good place for a visit with a friend or to work on something alone. Will return on future visits to Sacramento. read more
Stopped in today after a quick pharmacy visit at Kaiser - my husband who has a sore throat got a London fog tea and said it was perfect!! I got a small hot mint macchiato and it was also tasty!! Mine was a bit on the sweet side so next time I'd opt for a latte or an extra shot but overall the service was friendly and fast - there were multiple tables inside and the plants were super cute throughout - I'll be back when I'm in the area! read more

My husband and I stopped by for a coffee and after browsing through the yelp pictures, we decided to go with a Blueberry cheesecake latte & a white chocolate strawberry latte. For some reason they didn't look like the pictures we saw here? It just looked like a regular iced latte without the fancy crumbles, foam and different colors. I was a tiny bit disappointed, but the flavor was still good! I liked the white chocolate strawberry latte a little better than the other one (it's sweeter and has more flavor), while you could taste more coffee in the blueberry cheesecake latte. But anywaaays, I'd still come back and show them next time the picture of what I'd like to have. Besides that, the place is really cute and aesthetic! Lots of plants and I love the vibe! Service was quick. read more

We made it in to check out the new Summer Menu. I got the Blueberry Cheesecake Latte, my oldest ordered the Strawberry Matcha Breeze and my youngest ordered a Lemon Poppyseed Muffin. We had a seat on the comfy couch and noticed the complimentary tea on the counter. Both my girls loved it! Drinks were ready fairly quick and everything was absolutely delish! My youngest loved her muffin so much we ordered one to go! read more
If you don't like matcha, try black matcha! Instead of green, they use milled and powdered black tea leaves. This spot is featuring it on their fall menu with a pumpkin cold foam. It's not a pumpkin spice drink, but more like a pumpkin pie milk tea (alrhough I wish the tea was a bit stronger). They also have a few yummy breakfast items too, and are conveniently located near Sac Amtrak. Their menu didn't show prices up front which I wish they did because I feel like that helps in deciding what to order. The drink was $9 and the sandwich $7.50. Service was really friendly and the interior was cute. read more
I decided to come here on my way to the Amtrak station before heading out, and I'm glad I did. It is situated right next to DOCO and is in a pretty convenient location with ample seating, natural lighting, and lively plants. This place seems to be one of the cheaper places where I'm able to get a bagel and a coffee combo for around ~$13 (which is way cheaper than some other surrounding coffee shops). The cashier was rather friendly and provided nice recommendations. The coffee came out pretty fast while the bagel sandwich took a little while longer. I thought the coffee had a taste that wasn't overly sweet. I also thought the bagel had a good ratio of salmon to cream cheese. I would recommend going back to this place for getting your coffee whenever you're in Downtown Sacramento. read more

What a cozy little coffee shop located right next to DOCO!! I had no clue that this was here but I'm so happy I stumbled upon it. The inside has such a warm ambient feel that made me feel right at home and the staff matched that energy right away. I ordered the Chocolate Chai Latte and my partner got the Honey Latte. I was a bit hesitant going with the Chocolate Chai as when I've gotten it at other places, it tasted like straight chocolate milk lol. Here, however, you can taste the richness of the chai balanced with a subtle flavor of cocoa. Caught me by surprise and has become my new favorite drink at the moment. To eat, we got the salmon bagel--I thought it was quite tasty. Nice balance of freshness paired with the saltiness of the salmon. I got it on a parmesan bagel. Nice and light; didn't feel too heavy after I finished it. Oh! Did I mention that they have a combo right now? It's a 1+1 combo which includes a drink and your choice of a bagel. Came out to a total of $13 which I feel is pretty unbeatable especially in the downtown area. Will I be back? Yes. Oh, and if you're an amtrak person, this spot is located fairly close to the station. So go get yourself a yummy treat before your train ride!! read more
While in town for Convention @ Golden 1 center this is right next to it so very convenient to walk over and get coffee. With so many people at this convention there was quite a line But the girls running it were on top of it and kept it moving pretty good. I came a couple days in a row , 2nd time I got in line before they opened @8. The coffee I got was delish, Latte Caramel macchiato, six shots extra sweet was perfect ! I also got a cheese danish too and it was delicious. Great ambiance with nice seating indoor and outdoors as well. Not a very big place but nice. If at or around Golden 1 i recommend stopping by. Didn't get any other pics I forgot . I will say where it's located. I'm not sure about parking because I walked here. There may be some street parking nearby or unless you're at the Golden 1 center in the nearby parking structure you would walk to this location. They also have online mobile orders too. Enjoy !!!! read more
Great coffee! Had their season Honey Bear Latte! 10/10 Similar taste to the Fall Oat Boy at Gregory's Coffee in Ontario Mills!! Cinnamon, Honey, and Great espresso Ample seating and a great place to enjoy your morning coffee. Located 15 minutes walking distance from the capitol! Service was amazing! As mentioned I am here for a meeting at the capitol and I was running very late YET my coffee was ready super quickly. Baristas are nice and attentive. Very quiet and nice vibes overall. Rating overall: 9.6/10 read more
