    This hole in the wall breakfast spot is a cute gem. I hadnt heard of the Brunch Corner before, but now will make sure to take my parents there when they're in town. The menu has a little of everything that you might crave with fairly reasonable prices. My Mexican coffee was good, but I think a little pricey given the amount of foam thats included. Our server was nice, but given how her tables were set up I think she forgot about us for a little while. Or, she just couldnt get to us as often since the others may have kept her busy. We sat by the door, and just a note that the door does slam often with folks walking in and out. So if you're trying to not experience that you may want to ask for a different location. there is a small parking lot but is often full so you may need to park on the street in the neighborhood behind it. Just note there are apartments back there so street parking is also limited. Overall good experience, good food, and good vibes.

    Love love love the food and ambiance! Sit outside if you can! Drinks: White mocha and Carmichael sunrise was delicious! Food: Morning Garden Omelet with bacon and sausage was amazing. The House potatoes were perfectly seasoned with a crispy outside and soft center. Service: Summer was great, she made awesome suggestions The place is popular so you need to plan to wait. The wait is worth it! Parking can also be a challenge, especially on Sundays

    I believe this place used to be a Mexican restaurant, but it's now been converted into a brunch spot. There is seating inside and also outside on the patio. The patio is super cute, green, and shaded. The staff are friendly and attentive. Parking is limited and the layout is a little weird, but it's free. The menu is pretty diverse. There are many options for mimosas, which other places do not provide. The food is delicious and presentable, but it does take a while to receive. My potatoes were seasoned well and crispy. The bacon wasn't too chewy and had a bit of char. The toast was buttered well. They do have jelly already available on the table, along with salt and pepper. All in all, it's a great place. I'll definitely be coming back very soon.

    Amazing food! Excellent service and I can't wait to come back and try more! Alexis was very friendly and attentive. Parking could be a little rough but there Is street parking and a lot behind them. Oh and the sourdough bread is FIRE!!

    This is very happy place. Food is made to order and summer, our waitress assured us that anything can be modified. This is one place where I felt confident my very specific dietary needs including avoiding cross contamination of vegetarian food with meat products can be avoided. Everything was presented so well! Clean restrooms. An extensive menu that has something for everyone. Most notably the staff is cheerful and happy and the care taken in maintaining cleanliness and eye for detail tell me that this is a place you can trust

    The service was great, very friendly. I had the waffles with the breakfast combo and the orange juice was delicious!

    LOVED this place! We happened upon this place when we were on the hunt for a new brunch spot and we were very glad we tried this place. It's a small and quaint spot, a few seats at the bar, some outdoor seating. We had about a 20 min wait, they text you when your table is ready. The mimosas were good, the food was delicious, and the staff was super helpful and friendly. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. PARKING: They have a small, private parking lot which was full when we arrived but there is street parking and people seemed to find spots nearby. We will for sure be back!

    Our wonderful breakfast, biscuits and gravy and fruit topped french toast!

    I am soo glad we happened in here today! I have literally traveled across this country trying biscuits and gravy to find the best ones in every city I have visited. Believe it or not, my favorite is right here in Carmichael! The biscuits were perfectly fluffy and tender and can stand on their own. Once you add the gravy, these topped the all of the rest. The gravy was just the right consistency. The balance of flavors was the best I have had. My wife had the French toast with berries and cream that she also loved. We are looking forward to our next visit and discovering what else they excel at.

    Located in a sharp corner of Fair Oaks and Manzanita Ave is a newly opened beautiful building with outdoor and indoor seating. The place is super cozy, a little cozy for me due to seatings are a bit close but why not squeeze all strangers together and all can eavesdrop and everyone can be in one conversation J/K. Beautiful inside and outside. Parking 3.5/5 about 10 vehicles Service 5/5 Friendly and all smiles from entering and exiting the building. The ladies are like chameleon able to adapt to all the different personalities Food 4/5 was good and a lot better than some places I've been to in the area. The menu is grand for the small place. Bathroom 5/5 appears that someone upkeep with it. Maybe labeling the key the lady that came back with the key was to the men's restroom Definitely will be returning because the service is amazing and to give the other menu items an opportunity to be devoured by me. I am so glad the bathroom is on the outside. Let the funk stay outside

    We came here one Sunday morning after mass in Carmichael and were overall pleased with the quality of food and reasonable prices. We got eggs over medium with potatoes and a meat omelette (I think it was beef or carnitas, it was the hubby's), the energy booster juice, and a hot latte. The energy booster unfortunately was missing the cucumber as they said they didn't have it but we ordered it anyway. The service was ok, the server we had was more in a hurry. The ambiance was packed and a bit on the dirty side. Looking at the floor, it looked like it could use a scrub. Overall, while the quality of food was ok the place just appears to look a bit tight and dirty. I rate this place a 3.5 and perhaps we will try again in the future.

    Chorizo and Eggs

    We found this place charming, with a great selection of food. I had the Chorizo and Eggs and they were wonderful. My wife ordered the Piña Colada Crepes, which were just as delicious. Service was friendly and responsive the whole time.

    Food is amazing, service is on top of it, great variety of choices from breakfast to lunch. Summer and Alejandra are what you look for you want good service.

    Some restaurants serve brunch. The Brunch Corner hosts a family reunion with better food every weekend. Alexis, Ashley, Alejandra, and Summer have you feeling like a regular by visit two and family by visit three. The kitchen staff deserve a standing ovation for making everything taste like it was picked, cooked, and plated in the last ten minutes, because it probably was! The vibe it's giving is family, the food is always fresh, and we will be back.

    Is the french toast dry or custardy?

    It’s custardy. It is soft and rich on the inside, not dry at all.

    Comfy, earthy cafe with plenty of food and drink options!…read more Visited on a Sunday afternoon after taking an exam nearby. Service was friendly and helpful. My order was finished quick. I picked up my drink across where I ordered and then I picked up my food from a separate place when the device they gave me buzzed. What I ordered: * Chia seed pudding $7 - coconut chia seed pudding with coconut flakes, strawberry jam, and granola. Generously stuffed into a round container. Delicious. Inspires me to make chia seed pudding at home. * Hot earl grey creme tea $4 - I added honey. Perfect balance of citrus and black tea flavors. Came in a big paper cup, but had the option of having it in a tea pot and pouring it myself. Note they have a card surcharge of 2.9%. I was able to find a comfy seat with a round table. There were a lot of people but still enough seating and not too loud inside. The music was relaxing. Loved all the natural light and cozy, earthy vibes. For fellow matcha lovers, I saw a sign they use Mizuba matcha. It was already late afternoon and I had a matcha latte earlier so I chose not to get a matcha latte. If I'm around the area and come back soon though, I'd love to try their seasonal summer offering of the coconut matcha cloud. They also had a pastry case next to the register. The savory items sounded great too, so there's lots of items I'm interested in trying from here. Would recommend if you're looking for a nice, spacious cafe to relax or do some work!

I have a phin filter at home and often make my own vietnamese iced coffees. This place offers Vietnamese Iced Coffees and describes it as "Phin filtered coffee with condensed milk" but this is absolutely leaving out crucial details regarding the preparation of this beverage... like, if it is premade and left in the fridge for hours or made from powder, it doesn't go into these details and it should. I went inside, ordered, and went into the bathroom. Although there are many amenities in the bathroom, there is no door handle lol, I have never seen this. It is GHETTO. It's just a door with a handle lock. The hole where the door handle should be, is covered by some type of colored cardboard LOL. I have been to some ratchet, rundown restaurants and cafes but they ALWAYS have a bathroom with a door handle LOL. Ok - back to the coffee... I was quick in the bathroom and the coffee was done in less than 2 minutes. The coffee was either premade and left in a carafe to become stale (because WOW it tasted SO stale) or it was not truly made in a phin filter. I'll never return to this cafe, like, yoy can't even do Vietnamese iced coffee right?? Gross. Stale. Ghetto. No thanks.

If you cannot resolve a problem, or if it is an ongoing issue, you should escalate it to someone with the expertise and authority to address consumer concerns. Do not wait for customers to approach you after the situation has already deteriorated, especially when a flippant response has shifted the tone of the interaction. Another option would have been to table the conversation for a later time or on a different day until more information was available. What began as a discussion about a product concern quickly became focused on a employee instead of the issue itself. The manager appeared to become frustrated, stated to understand the main concern, yet responded with an unnecessarily intense tone and level of defensiveness. There was considerable deflection, repetition, and what felt like half-truths rather than a sincere effort to work toward a mutual solution. The manager should remember that they represent the Root of Happiness brand. We have been patronizing Root of Happiness for at least 10 years, long before the owners expanded to the Roseville, Midtown, and Rocklin locations. Additionally, over the last few weeks, the Justin's Peanut Butter Cups have seemed unusually dry. It may be the result of a bad batch from the vendor or the effects of extreme weather conditions impacting the product's quality.
