This is such a great spot to get quality coffee in downtown/midtown Sacramento. The dining area is spacious with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I'm very basic when it comes to coffee and only order either a drip coffee or an iced coffee. The coffee tastes great and is served quickly. The staff is happy to answer questions. Sometimes there are vegan-friendly pastries as well. read more

Camellia Coffee Roasters is named after Sacramento's city flower, the camellia, and they also support the local Camellia Society. They started out as a wholesale coffee roaster in Sacramento before opening their own café. I tried their signature Horchata Cold Brew and really enjoyed it. The sweetness was just right and not overpowering, making it a great drink for a hot summer day. They're also known for their breakfast sandwiches. The eggs were super fluffy and cooked perfectly. The café has high ceilings, good airflow, and a beautiful mural on the wall. The vibe is modern with an industrial feel. Parking is easy with free street parking nearby. A fun bonus: they have a claw machine where you can try your luck and win a coffee or breakfast sandwich. Hours: 7 AM-4 PM daily. read more

I love Camellia! This continues to be one of my favorite coffee places in Midown, especially their horchata cold brew and breakfast sandwich. If you come during the weekend though, come early cause there's a line and they don't do online orders on weekends. read more

Came here to pick up some food like always although I had to use the bathroom and when I went in some had mess up the toilet if you know what I mean. There also a bunch of dolls up on the display. I know that once you own your own cafe you may decorate as one pleases although it's giving a little bit of clutter. Or maybe it's just me Mybad. The appeal to a place was edgy and trendy at first. It's in a located in an old industrial area. Anyhow the food is always fire and the customer service makes up for the other stuff I suppose. read more

I came to Camellia on a Tuesday afternoon and even then it was still packed with people. The inside of shop is very cute and spacious. It's a perfect spot to study or do some work (which I was doing). They have a little claw machine filled with coffee cups that have certain awards. They also carry their own beans near the line to order. I got my usual vanilla latter with oat milk and while the vanilla syrup was not my favorite their coffee itself packed a really good punch. It was light and made you feel like you can take on the day. I was able to get the work I needed done with it. They also had food options that looked very good. I would definitely come back here again to try some of their other drinks as well as their food. read more

Super popular breakfast and coffee spot in downtown Sacramento. Arrived on a Sunday morning at 10 and it was completely packed. Every table is full and there is a line of 10-15 groups snaking around the restaurant. The vibes are immaculate though, a dusty pink theme throughout with consistent cartoonish drawings on their cups, coffee beans, and signage. So many people, dogs, and babies. I do think this is a millennial and up age group, not many younger folks. They do have quite a bit of staff working hard behind the counter. On a cold gloomy day, this place is extremely cozy with the large bright windows. There is also seating outside! The horchata cold brew really does taste like cereal milk in the best way. The coffee flavor is actually very mild, but that may be a symptom of oat milk flavor taking over. Frequently referred to as the best breakfast sandwich in Sacramento, this place had my standards sky-high. The breakfast sausage and egg was definitely unique - the textures were all fluffy and soft, the brioche bun and folded egg omelette. The cheese was light but flavorful and the sauce balanced everything out nicely. I would say this is a solid breakfast sandwich, more untraditional, and definitely a must try if you're interested. We also ordered a salmon and lox everything bagel sandwich that was also delicious! I would have loved a bit more smoked salmon for balance but the scallion dill cream cheese was super flavorful! I would say both sandwiches were on the milder side flavor-wise but still extremely good! read more

Best breakfast sandwich in Sacramento. Brioche bun with egg and cheese along with a protein. Aioli spread makes it delicious. Coffee while you wait a few minutes for sandwich delivered to your table. Plenty of parking. Heavy dog traffic spot. read more

Starting off the with location, parking can be hard to find. While the inside of the shop is spacious, it's difficult to get a seat during peak hours/days (excepted). The place is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Now for food and drinks. I really have enjoyed their matcha lattes. Not overly sweet or bitter. It's balanced. Haven't tried any other beverages yet but will be back to do so. As for their breakfast sandwich, it's really good. The eggs and sausage were cooked well, however the bread to protein ratio can be a bit better in my opinion. read more

This brown sugar agave latte hit the spot and provided me the caffeine boost i needed. The latte was served at the appropriate temperature and was smooth. The barista was very cool and gave exceptional service. The ambiance had a hip warehouse vibe and had a large amount of seating. Ali, the breakfast sandwiches were great. I ordered the bacon and sausage, both were great. Also, the salmon bagel with dill cream cheese was solid. Great place to meet friends. Only one recommendation is that they have some treats for the pups in the future. read more

Stopped by around noon and was pleasantly surprised by the expansion! Perfect for this afternoon since it was pretty cold and drizzly. Also LOVE that they added the kiosk ordering option. It's right by the door and only for drinks so this should also help speed up the line. Ordered some americanos and decided to order the new shredded pork sandwich. I think the guy rang us up incorrectly because it said it was $10.25 on the sign but he rang it up as a normal sandwich with the pork as the meat so it was $11 instead. I noticed too late but make sure to check unfortunately. Americanos were excellent and pipping hot like always. I would stick to the original sandwich- although the salsa verde pork is delicious there's just a little too much going on. Why mess with a classic? Love the expansion and that it's decorated for the holidays right now! Definitely recommend a visit. read more

My friend and I visited to have a study session and fuel up on some breakfast and coffee. I got the bacon breakfast sandwich and a brown sugar latte, she got a veggie breakfast sandwich and horchata cold brew. My sandwich was pretty good but I do feel like it's overhyped. My latte was also just ok nothing to write home about. I tried my friend's horchata cold brew and it was super delicious! Not too sweet and the horchata notes reallt came through. I would rec for anyone visiting and I'd def get that drink next time. Inside is spacious and has plenty of seating. The line is super long and there is street parking only read more

This place is such a vibe. I ordered a white mocha with heavy cream and cinnamon on top and it was so good, warm, cozy, and perfectly sweet. Literally comforting in a cup. The baristas were super kind. I didn't hear my name the first time and one of them actually brought my drink over to me, which I really appreciated. Little things like that matter. It's also a great spot to study. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, and a few outlets available, which is clutch. Overall, really welcoming atmosphere and delicious drinks.

Camellia Coffee Roasters - Hot White mocha with heavy cream + cinnamon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Wow. This place exceeded all of my expectations! It's a cute brick building, with rustic vibes. The lighting inside is warm, not too dim, very decked out with decorations, they even have a Christmas tree too! Very spacious, plenty of seating, tables, and booths! There's mellow music playing, and overall quiet. It's the perfect place to study, meet up with friends, or to simply grab a pick-me-up for the day. The service is phenomenal! The baristas work so efficiently and with such grace. I came around 9:30am, it was already filled with happy customers enjoying themselves. They are super attentive and kind, answering questions I had with insight and a smile. I waited about 7-10 minutes for my two drinks and a breakfast sandwich. Everything is so fresh and aesthetic! My breakfast sandwich was piping hot, cheese oozing out of it and the buns toasty. It was very filling and so delicious!! The way they cook the omelet in the sandwich is amazing! The scallions and their cholula aioli sauce add the perfect kick that intrigues your tastebuds and pulls you in for another bite! I would come back for the sandwich alone, wow! They offer sandwiches with options of sausage, bacon, or veggie. This is a must-try!! I also tried their Iced Mocha upon the barista's recommendation. Currently, they offer two seasonal syrups the Cozy Spice and Peppermint syrup. I added peppermint to my mocha and it was good, their mocha sauce is so rich in flavor. I will say my drink was very sweet, I'd probably add an additional shot of espresso next time to get the flavor and balance the sweetness. Other than that, no complaints! Overall, wonderful experience!! They also sell other pastries, coffee beans, merchandise, and even house made jam!! Quick and friendly service, spacious, plenty of room to sit, delicious fresh food and drinks. It does get busy, by 10am they had a filled room of customers and long line. You can order online ahead to avoid waiting in line. Worth the visit, so evident by their regulars and this review. read more

We walked in and were greeted immediately. I ordered the horchata cold brew and veggie breakfast sandwich. I got my horchata right away and it was simply divine. Sandwich was just as delicious. The sweetness of the bread and the spice of the sauce mixed in with cheese and egg. Just incredible. The vibe is good and service was great. Easy five stars and you should seriously consider this place for a great go to for breakfast or brunch. read more

Camellia Coffee Roasters is an excellent cafe to satisfy your breakfast or coffee needs. Their menu isn't huge (especially for food), but the food they serve up is divine! I came for some breakfast today with a good friend of mine and we tried their breakfast sandwiches. I had mine with sausage and bacon while she had the bacon and avocado. These breakfast sandwiches were out of this world good! They came out piping hot and when we opened them up there was an amazing cheese pull with steam rising out. Oh it was magnificent! And the food tasted even better than it looked. The bread was very fresh with a delicate mid section. The crust was just right. The sandwiches were very easy to eat and satisfied us - especially their taste! I had heard of the horchata cold brew before coming and I really wanted to give that one a try. I have to say that it really lived up to my expectations - actually exceeded them! The coffee was perfect. It was smooth and creamy with just the right sweetness. My only wish was that the cup sizes were larger so that I could have more! This is a drink that I would recommend to anyone. In terms of atmosphere, the cafe has a beautiful brick wall on the inside with a comfortable vibe. It has a large enough space to fit a good sized amount of people wanting to hang out with their drinks. Service was fast and we didn't have to wait long for our order at all. Quite a bit of people were in line as this cafe is pretty popular here in town, but we got everything we needed in a timely manner. read more

Always so good love the coffee and food every time, but recently tried the hookup up bagel and every component of it was perfection!

I was looking for a quick bite. I wasn't expecting much but this place surprised me. This place was very spacious. Lots of inside seating and there is also a few table for outside seating. Only thing about outside seating is it's not covered. The food while selection is limited, it's still good. I have the pork verde special sandwich. It was great! Service is ok. The staff aren't very friendly. They take your order with not much personality. Could be friendlier that's for sure. read more

This coffee shop is very cute and bright with lots of seating. Inside there's seating on tiled benches and chairs, outside there is seating in wooden benches covered under the patio roof. Great place to sit at if the weather is nice out! The inside is clean, cutely decorated, and has a modern aesthetic but not minimalist. When it's not busy it's very chill and would be a great place to do homework or work. This place does get very busy! The staff are nice, mostly when it's not busy understandably, I've been here a couple times and haven't had a bad interaction. Recently I came and got their breakfast sandwich with sausage and an iced matcha with oat milk and I added honey. The sandwich was super tasty, the eggs were cooked perfectly and was very filling. I loved the cheese and scallions they added to it. The matcha was unfortunately disappointing. I had gotten it once before and I liked it but this recent time it had a watered down flavor and was not sweet at all despite the barista telling me the matcha it already sweetened and asking if I was sure I wanted to add honey to it. I'd come back to try a coffee or tea drink instead. The prices seem standard for other coffee shops/cafes. read more

Let me start off with the positives. The cafe itself is nice a spacious and the vibe was nice. Not too loud of music playing and majority of people were just working on their computers. The person who brought out my breakfast was super super sweet and friendly, didn't get her name but was short Asian with beautiful tattoos and was wearing a black beanie. Upon entering I wasn't greeted, just got stared at by the person at the register and one of the guys behind her. She was taking an order so understandable and the other two guys were doing a task of some sorts. When I got to the register the cashier seemed very uninterested and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I asked her about the limited time holiday flavor and her response is "it's good" and her tone seemed kind of annoyed. Overall the interaction made me feel like I was bothering her and not once did she smile or try to make me feel welcomed what's so ever. I believe her name was Dana for that's what the ticket on my cup said. The guy who brought out my drink just plopped it out on my table and walked away, no smile, no thank you, nothing. Coffee, not good. It tasted watery. As though the oat milk wasn't shaken maybe. The coffee didn't taste like it pulled properly. The sandwich had soooooo much pepper on the egg and the bun was so so dry. Very disappointed considering the entire order cost 18$ + tip. I didn't say anything or ask for a remake because of energy and vibe given off by the team. I ended up going to temple coffee instead to grab a different drink and skipped on the breakfast portion. I've been to camellia's before they had this new spot so I was honestly very excited to return because I remember how friendly the team was and how amazing the coffee/breakfast was. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the same standard is being held in this new location and don't think I'd return based on quality of service, drink, and food. read more

Took a visit to try a new coffee place here at Camellia Coffee Roasters after my doctor's appointment and this place caught me by surprise. Upon arrival, the street was very lively on a Thursday afternoon. There's so much seating inside, for a place that looked a little busy I didn't have to worry about where I was gonna sit. The aesthetic here is really nice. To me it screams, "all are welcome," because they even have doggy bowls if you bring a pup along which you don't really see a lot of coffee shops do. I ordered a cold brew and was feeling a little hungry since I skipped breakfast before my appointment and the kind worker recommended I get the Bacon Sandwich which was very delicious and came out quick. The cold brew was very smooth and tasted sort of tart&fruity to me. Aesthetic, food, & service was a 10/10 for me and I'd definitely be a returning customer. Definitely one of the better coffee shops here in Sacramento in my opinion. read more

Camellia Coffee Roasters - Cold Brew & Bacon Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

The breakfast sandwich at Camellia Coffee Roasters... Yeahhhh... that's all you really need to know. I stopped by in the morning to get some work done, and it's busy for a reason... Their breakfast sandwiches are incredible. Each one is made with a two-egg omelette layered with cheese, scallions, and cholula aioli, all on a soft brioche bun. You can add bacon or sausage, or go with a veggie version. I opted for the sausage and have zero regrets. You can definitely tell that each order is made fresh because the moment you bite into it, you get that gooey cheese pull from the omelette. I personally love adding a dash of hot sauce for that extra kick, and the ones they provide are just fine. For coffee, I kept it classic with an iced vanilla latte. Iced drinks come in 16oz only, which ended up being the perfect size. The coffee wasn't mind-blowing, but still solid. The space itself is housed in a charming brick building with a clean, open interior and plenty of seating (though it fills up fast). At peak hours, it can feel a little cramped/tight since some tables and chairs are packed in close together each other. I ended up sitting outside at one of the four picnic tables. This was a great call because there was plenty of room, great weather, and a view of the murals lining R Street. The only downside to this place if you're planning to work or study on your laptop is that there aren't many outlets if any at all, so make sure to come with your devices fully charged if you plan to stay a while! All in all, Camellia is 100% worth the hype, ESPECIALLY for that breakfast sandwich. read more

The food here was absolutely amazing, my partner and I loved the chili verde breakfast sandwich (which they only have on the weekend) and the hooked up bagel! Everything was so incredibly fresh and the chili verde was so tender. They really pay close attention to detail from the wonderful service when we got to the register, the cute coffee shop ambience and cozy vibe, all the way to the cute little cups they use for their cold and hot beverages! The line was super long but it went by so quick and we got our food not even 10 min after we ordered. I absolutely loved my latte and I tried a sip of the horchata cold brew too which was really tasty. There menu was super reasonably priced and everything we got was well worth the price. I can't wait to go back and try something new! read more

Such a lovely café! Even though the latte and cappuccino were fairly standard, the bacon and sausage sandwiches were absolutely fantastic -- easily my favorite part of the visit. The Danish was fine but not a standout. I liked that they sell their own roasted coffee beans too, so you can bring some home. The shop is big, airy, and offers plenty of seating, both inside and outside. Plus, they do babyccinos, which is super cute if you have kids. It gets busy quickly, so plan ahead -- and don't worry about parking because they have both street and private spaces. Definitely recommend stopping by for a tasty sandwich and a comfy hangout! read more

Came for the breakfast sandwich and stayed for the matcha latte. Delicious. Large portion. And made to perfection. The breakfast sandwich was huge! I ate 3 quarters of it and was full. It's very simple and healthy. It was delicious with truff sauce added on top (from home). Their hot matcha latte was delicious though. I ordered a regular size but regretted it the moment I took a sip. Definitely get the matcha latte. Easy parking, quick service, solid spot. Kind employees. read more

Camellia may very well be my favorite coffee shop in Sacramento now. We tried this for the first time last weekend, then came back yesterday. The coffee here is tremendous, and the breakfast sandwiches are INCREDIBLE. My wife had the sausage breakfast sandwich and I had the bacon one. Both were delicious, and they even catered to my wife's gluten intolerance and were able to plate it without the bun. The vibe and ambience here is excellent too. It's placed in a large old school warehouse with high ceilings and plenty of places to sit and retreat into your work, studies, or conversations. While Sacramento is full of amazing coffee shops, this one has become my favorite. Delicious coffee, delicious food, excellent service. No complaints at all, and I can't wait to continue coming here! read more

I stopped by Camellia on the way to a neighborhood market and it was good! I got a matcha latte and bacon breakfast sandwich and added avocado. Both were tasty! I especially like the brioche bread and aoili they put on the sammie. If you like breakfast sandwiches, you should try theirs! Total came out to about $20. Pretty standard midtown pricing and I think the food and drink were worth it! If you're visiting on a weekend morning, expect service to be slow. I waited in line for maybe 10-15 mins, got my drink within a few mins of ordering, but my food maybe took another 20 mins to come out. A lot of care was put into my sandwich and I didn't have plans after, so it wasn't a big deal to me. Overall I enjoyed my experience here! read more

As a health writer, I'm always on the lookout for places that combine quality ingredients with a thoughtful experience--and this coffee shop truly delivered. The host was incredibly gracious and knowledgeable, walking me through the origin and profile of her coffee beans with genuine enthusiasm. She took the time to understand my preferences and even helped craft a custom drink just for me--balanced, smooth, and absolutely delicious. It's rare to find that level of care and expertise in a café. A gem for anyone who values both wellness and a great cup of coffee. Very clean and refreshing decor of the coffee shop. read more

Today was my first time at Camellia, and I had the worst matcha latte I've ever purchased, which was upsetting as an avid matcha drinker. I usually make my own matchas at home or prefer matcha-specialty stores like Matcha Maiko, but I always try to give matchas at local cafes a chance (and had luck at places like La Costa, Chloe, Offbeat, Scorpio, to name a few other local cafes). But Camellia's hot matcha latte was undrinkable. It tasted straight up like fish. Not just a slight umami note but as if I couldn't taste any matcha at all -- just milk foam and a taste that was salmon-y. For a few more sips, I tried to convince myself into thinking this was normal, but then, I also had my partner taste it. He said it kind of tasted like seaweed. I feel lowkey bad writing this, but I see Yelp as a space for constructive criticism. I've seen other people say good things about the matcha here (alongside another reviewer that also mentioned seaweed-tasting matcha), so it might just be a consistency issue. I let a barista know about my drink issue and the people at Camellia were extremely nice about it, hence the high review. They offered an alternative drink, so I chose a vanilla latte instead. It was exactly what a vanilla latte should taste like: nice balance of coffee with a creamy, not too sweet, vanilla flavor. My partner also got the mocha which was absolutely delicious. A semi-sweet rich dark chocolate blended perfectly with coffee. Their coffee-based lattes are exceptional. I also enjoyed getting work done here as well. It's very spacious with a lot of natural light. The space has plenty of seating (not too crowded on a Tuesday morning/early afternoon), but not any outlets that I could find near me -- I recommend charging up beforehand if you need your laptop. They were playing country music and had a lively chatty crowd which was the perfect background noise for getting my busy work done. read more
