I once went to a concert that ended at 2 am in a venue that was 4 hours away from where I lived. I…read moregot home at 6 am, slept for 3 hours and went to brunch begrudgingly. I was in for a surprise. Morning fork presents its self like an old timey diner, with mimosas, coffee, a skillet that radiates the kind of heat that would keep a family warm through the winter. The staff was a mix of locals who served with speed and smiles that were memorable and noticeable. I don't jump on every brunch invite, I rarely make brunch plans, but I will when morning fork is involved. Morning fork has incredible pancakes and waffles Their coffee is actually amazing And if I could afford the calories, I'd be here every week.

I would give ZERO stars if that were an option. Our experience today at The Morning Fork was…read moreincredibly disappointing and, quite frankly, unacceptable. The restaurant itself was already VERY loud, with customers talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves. We actually appreciated the atmosphere because, as parents of a toddler, it made us feel more comfortable dining there as a family. Shortly after receiving our food, my toddler became upset and started crying. The OWNER approached my husband and asked him to REMOVE OUR CHILD FROM THE RESTAURANT. My husband, being the respectful person he is, complied and took her outside. At first, I was confused about why he had suddenly left until he called me and explained what the owner had told him. We had JUST received our food. At that point, I asked our server to remove the untouched items from our bill. I made it clear that I was more than willing to pay for anything we had already touched or consumed, but I was not comfortable continuing to give my business to an establishment whose owner had just asked my husband to remove our toddler. The owner then approached me, and I explained how inappropriate and upsetting I found the situation, especially considering how loud the restaurant already was. I could barely hear my own daughter over the overall noise in the restaurant. Her response was that "people were looking at me," which is why she asked my husband to take our daughter OUTSIDE. That response was extremely disappointing. She is a TODDLER. Toddlers sometimes cry. We were not allowing her to run around the restaurant, destroy anything, or behave dangerously. She was simply upset and crying. If noise was truly the issue, then why was our child singled out in an already extremely loud restaurant? What makes the experience even more uncomfortable is that we already felt we were greeted rudely by our first server. I do want to recognize the gentleman who was calling names for the tables. He was very kind and welcoming, and I appreciated his professionalism. As for the owner, I am extremely disappointed that someone who owns a restaurant would treat paying customers and their child this way. Families with young children deserve to know what kind of environment they are walking into. If children, or the normal behavior that occasionally comes with having toddlers are not welcome in your establishment, that should be clearly communicated to customers before they sit down and order food. We will not be returning, and I hope no other family is made to feel as unwelcome and embarrassed as ours was today.

I found it delicious. Excellent service.

Roc & Sol is the second restaurant I've visited owned by Crazy Matt and fam --the first was Twisted…read moreTrack Station (see my review there). I'm beginning to notice a pattern: these aren't cookie-cutter restaurants. They have personality, a playful spirit, and the feeling that some people actually enjoy creating places where people want to gather and belong. Imagine a classic neighborhood diner that wandered into an arcade, picked up some incredible art, and decided everyone should just be happy. The staff are genuinely welcoming, the portions are generous, the comfort food gives solace, and breakfast lovers can rejoice because it's served all day. Whether you're there for a hearty meal or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Roc & Sol has earned its loyal following for good reason. A special note on Janah and Alicia (pictured), who made our family breakfast feel like more than just a meal. With effortless expertise, warm conversation, and infectious energy, these adrenaline junkies created the kind of experience that keeps people wanting more. They seemed to feed off the positive energy they shared with their guests--and gave even more in return. If Twisted Track Station surprised me by the genius of Crazy Matt, his family, and his people, Roc & Sol convinced me it wasn't a fluke. Sacramento needs more restaurants with this much heart.

I love when places give each ingredient its time, you can taste every individual thing on your plate and it's not drowned out with sauce or seasoning. It's not simple by any means but it's like a simplicity that's so pleasant. And omg the bacon, I mean go figure it's named bacon and butter but their bacon is SO perfect. Service is awesome, nice little group of people that are so friendly and hospitable.

Came for a birthday brunch. We arrived around 10 AM and was told the wait was about an hour. We…read moredecided to wait and noticed around 11 AM the line and wait was a lot shorter on this particular day. Our group ordered a variety of items and most were happy with their orders once they received what they ordered. One friend ordered hard eggs with a side of fruit but was served runny eggs with a side of potatoes. As soon as the server was notified, it was corrected. Eggs were still a little too runny for her, lol. Hubby and I shared a chicken and waffles and burrito. It's a vegan burrito, but decided to add cheese. We enjoyed both plates, specially enjoyed the complexity of flavors in the chicken and waffle with the fig syrup. Will say portions were huge. He ordered the old-fashioned, which was initially very buzzy. About halfway into it figured out it wasn't stirred, leaving all the sweetness on the bottom and booze on top. We opted for the first available table, which was outside. Could use a few more umbrellas for better sun protection, but we managed. Overall good experience, would be nice if they took reservations. Not sure if I'd do it again due to the long wait and everything was very good, but not exceptional.

Came in with my girlfriend during the weekend, after learning that her friend had a new location…read moredowntown. We've been to the original location in Elk Grove several times, and the one off Arden several times as well. And now the newest location located right behind the ice blooks. Space wise this is definitely their largest location to date, and includes a bar where you can actually get alcoholic drinks if that suits you. Because it was late morning and we'd just come from Jiu Jitsu class. We stopped in to grab ourselves some breakfast burritos for us and our boys. Decor was really nice and carried on the notable mural theme from the other 2 locations. Just slightly different like the other two, to make ir unique to this location. Breakfast burrito, bacon (2x) Breakfast burritos, sausage Overall: The burritos were bomb, and we'll definitely have to stop back in when in the area. For sure for breakfast again, but we all want to dine in for lunch and or for dinner.

I've tried this place a couple of times now, and I enjoyed it. First time a coworker brought me a…read morecoffee and a pandan cookie. The coffee wasn't quite sweet enough for my liking, but that's an easy fix. The cookie was sooo tasty! Then, I went into this location on a whim one Saturday and ordered a coffee and 3 cookies -- 1 Pandan, 1 Ube, and 1 Almond. Pros: the cookies were tasty, and I loved the almond best as it reminded me of an almond croissant with the frangipane in the middle. So good! The spot was easy to find, and parking was super easy given it was a weekend. Lastly, it was very clean inside and there were quite a few people enjoying their various pastries and drinks, giving a nice chill vibe. Cons: the service was awful and the staff person who helped me probably shouldn't have been working the register that day. When I walked in with my young nephew, I smiled and said hello. She looked directly at me, and walked off and started talking with another employee. Then she came back about a minute later and says "do you see what you want?" I immediately said "Hello! How are you?" I mean, she didn't greet me when I came in, then come over to ask if I know what I want. Say what you will, but her customer service sucked and she acted as if she didn't want to be there. I gave her my coffee and cookie order, paid and another employee came over greeted me and said "I'll get them!" She had a short but pleasant conversation with me, handed me my things, and I was on my way. I thanked her for her help on the way out, but that initial interaction was enough to say I probably won't go back there again for quite a while. I get having an off day, but I truly don't like rude people, regardless of which side of the counter they're on.

This is by far my favorite coffee shop in the Sacramento area…read more I love their lattes, and I love their tease even more they have really incredible pastries.

I was looking for a nearby coffee shop and saw this was a block away from an appointment. I viewed…read moretheir 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.

We were immediately greeted by multiple staff when we walked in and seated right after. We arrived a little after 9am and it was already bustling, but it still felt homey. We ordered the Special which was a Carnitas Breakfast Burrito and a Lil Breakfast with an Over Easy Egg, Potatoes and Sausage. My husband also ordered a Bloody Mary. The food came out quick and hot - my husband really liked the burrito and it was massive, he ate half and I took the other half for lunch today. I loved the Lil Breakfast - it was the perfect amount of food. The real winner was the breakfast sausage links though - so so good, made in house and it shows! The coffee was good and constantly flowing - their Mimosa menu is insane. I didn't even order one, but still stared at the menu for about 5 minutes. Mitchell took great care of us too! Overall, this is one of our favorite breakfast spots - we're already talking about coming back on Saturday! Check them out and show them some love!

They had a plaque about the green book and the history of the time period and what it was. My history loving family found that super cool. The atmosphere inside was great. The artwork was beautifu.
