    Waiting in line
    Jen-Ann L.

    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!

    Matcha latte with oak milk
    Harbir A.

    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.

    Brown sugar agave latte
    Danny W.

    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.

    Love their bagel breakfast sandwiches and iced coffees. Plenty of street parking. Order, pay, they call you when drinks are ready to be picked up and will deliver food to your table if dining in. Love all the plants.

    Good food. They need more people on a register. Only 1 person while it's busy? Come on Also out of bagels by I don't know when. We arrived at 11:30am No big sign to say there was no bagel. So waited in line for additional 30mins to find that out. They are just not staffed and should've been prepared

    breakfast sandwiches & coffees
    Ivy N.

    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

    Hot White mocha with heavy cream + cinnamon
    Elena E.

    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. Definitely coming back to study or just chill

    Salsa verde breakfast sandwich
    Angelica R.

    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.

    Breakfast Sandwich with Sausage
    Tiffy S.

    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.

    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.

    Latte with house syrup and bagel
    Ariana V.

    Mine & my boyfriend's new fav place!! He loves the horchata cold brew and I'm a HUGE fan of the house syrup. Not to mention the bagel sandwiches are amazing! It gets pretty busy and crowded in there, but the line goes by fast.

    Iced matcha
    Lili M.

    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.

    Inside
    Adolfo E.

    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.

They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

The entire reason people order ahead is so the drinks are ready when they arrive. Instead, my order was apparently ignored while I stood there waiting with no communication whatsoever. If customers are expected to announce themselves before their order will even be started, that should be clearly stated when ordering. Otherwise, this is just wasting people's time and defeating the purpose of the service entirely. Extremely frustrating experience.

We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast.

They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me.
