Hurrah for a good coffee spot in CH! The biggest complaint…read moreI've seen regarding this place is service speed; at this time there's only one person running the operation here, so I can't hold it against them. Especially given that the manager is very friendly and happy to answer any questions. I only have the espresso to work off of currently, but it's strong and slightly acidic. Very tasty and full bodied. The ambiance is clean, bright, with ample seating and displays to look at. Sacramento's growing coffee scene offers high competition, but I'll definitely be back to try more here.

We finally made it in to check out Black Sail Coffee. It's located inside the Birdcage Shopping…read moreCenter. It was easy to find with plenty of parking. We were immediately greeted and asked if we had any questions. After looking over the menu and special drink menu we ordered an Iced Matcha and Iced Blueberry Latte. Only wish we were hungry. I'd love to try one of the muffins. Inside is rather spacious with plenty of seating. There's also a whole back area with even more seating (including a couch). Both our drinks were delicious. I'd love to go back and try a few other drinks!

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!

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.

Some work meeting potential with Wi-Fi and one table with a power strip. Outdoor seating is shaded. By the numbers: Food 5/5 Drink 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 4/5 Espresso - Excellent. Not over roasted and allows some tart berry notes to shine through. Bacon breakfast sandwich - Excellent. Get it with the biscuit of course. Not sure why they serve it with raw onion, but that's an easy mod.

I had high hopes for this place after they took over when Badfish left unexpectedly…read more These days, they are constantly short handed, which means orders take forever and quality has definitely suffered. Some days are better than others, but it's hit and miss. They are in a great location -- but one with five or six coffee shops within a relatively short distance. They have their work cut out for them.

I joined a meetup of the Chow Down Run Club, and the gathering spot was at Aun Brew & Co. in…read moreRancho. Their other run club locations so far have been in Folsom and Fair Oaks. After the group run, we all met back to enjoy a drink together! This is a super cute little boba shop, with really cool local art, decor but even a piano and books if you want to hang out. I was able to get a happy hour discount on my drink, and I chose a Zen Garden which is a jasmine milk tea with matcha layered on top, and I added lychee jelly and sea salt foam as well. This was yummy, and a nice big cup size for an iced drink. Also got a card for BOGO Drink 50% off on my next visit. I have my eye on the Banana Matcha, the VIP Vietnamese Imperial Pandan, or the Sampaguita Milk Tea. Neat to learn that the owners are Hmong and Filipino, and they also have events like the Run Club, Car Meet, and even Karaoke Night!

The first time here it was when they had recently opened. The interior was all white & bright…read more Matcha served in such a large cup for $8 or so, not bad. But idk... I prefer my matcha more bitter umami flavor. It felt it was water downed, not even too milky. Came again for the 2nd time and the inside was completely redecorated! Had lots of character & personality. It was giving very cozy vintage coffee shop. Hung around, did some work, & enjoyed an Earl Grey Matcha. This time their cups are half the size now for the same price as before. Flavor... same thing.... watered down. Heard another customer who came in ask for more matcha. Didn't know that's a thing so I may need to ask for that next time I come back. The large cups they served the matcha in before I saw it is used for their refresher drinks. The boy working at the cashier. He seems nice but might want to work on the customer service skills. No greeting but did let me know to ask if I had questions. He was probably shy. As for the owner, it seems he is involved with the community, which is awesome!!

How in the world did not not know about the delicious Boba and dessert spot. Since I live in…read moreCarmichael I am always in the Citrus Heights and Fair Oaks areas. Today, I was craving a milk tea, but I wanted to check out a never boba and dessert sport and trusty ol' Yelp popped up with Kobing Dessert Studio not to mention their rating is 4.5 so i knew I had to see what they offer. They do not have a big drink selection, but what they do have is different from other boba spots and they do have a selection of desserts. The service is really good and they two employees were very friendly. The inside is super cute and cozy. I ordered the coconut strawberry cloud drink. It consists of coconut water and fresh strawberry milk. I added boba and coconut jelly to my drink. I will for sure be back the prices are great too!

We ate around the cheesecake bites and mochi because they were SO STALE. I personally don't prefer my bingsu drenched in syrup either. They have a lot of other things to order, but I recommend skipping the strawberry cheesecake bingsu. The spot was really cute and clean. There were a ton of tables open on a Wednesday evening. Staff was super nice and efficient!

I also someone get a big bag of beans to take home so it is nice for locals to get whatever bean roast they prefer. The inside does not provide much seating so I would not use this place for studying or doing work. It is more of a grab and go place. I got the vanilla blueberry latte. It tasted exactly like a blueberry waffle. It was a good mild flavor but did not have enough caffeine for me. Because it is in a random spot of Roseville I'm not sure if this is a place I would go out of my way for but if you are near the shop you can get your weekly beans here!

8/10 matcha 7/10 service…read more The strawberry matcha was good! The foam reminds me of a much creamier/thicker version of the one from Starbucks. The drink itself was worth it for the price. They didn't load it up with ice like most do. Overall, would go back but probably wouldn't crave it too often. It's more creamier than it is fruity which I don't always lean towards. Also, not as strong caffeine wise. The service itself was fine. I do agree with the other reviews about the staffs attitude. The girl who took my order was kind and made our pup cup from scratch but as a whole, it feels like they took the girls who worked at Brandy Melville and placed them here instead.

Indoor seating is a bit limited but it seems like a very family friendly place as there's lots of games for kids to pass time too. Will be back soon!
