Overall? Unassuming spot with a clean, industrial feel that doesn't try too hard but still works…read more Nothing flashy, just a place that knows what it is. Plenty of indoor seating with a mix of counters and tables, no outdoor setup, and a pretty minimal food menu. But you're not here for the food anyway. You're here for the coffee, and that's where it delivers. Good vibes, no nonsense, and a price point that's refreshing Parking? Lot. Easy We had: Pour Over, Papua New Guinea and Bali (5/5): Finding a genuinely good pour over under five dollars feels almost extinct at this point. Somehow, Kingdom makes it feel normal. Both beans were clean, intentional, and actually distinct, which is the whole point of a pour over. The Papua New Guinea was smooth with soft chocolate notes, balanced and easy without feeling boring. The Bali brought more brightness with a citrus edge that gave it some energy. Two different profiles, both executed well

I ordered a chai latte with oat milk ($8), and it was DELICIOUS. Definitely in my top 5 chai I've had. I will definitely be back. Oh, also, there was plenty of seating inside and outside. There were a good number of people occupying tables, so it was a good ambiance and setting for meeting someone, working alone, etc.

Checked out Pause Coffee House after a class at ARC hoping to find some good food and a new study…read morespot. I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.

The manager's approach to problem-solving and their apparent annoyance toward consumers inquiring…read moreabout various product flavors was handled poorly and was unprofessional for someone in a management position. 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.

They had free…read morepancit bihon for everyone, karaoke all day, a photo op, and other lil food samples and surprises for the party. It was our first time, definitely not our last. We were greeted by the friendly owner and just like walking into any Filipino party/household, she offered us the free food right away! There was a food/snack menu on the counter with a couple of the items sold out or unavailable at that moment. I ordered the halo halo espesyal, chicken inasal, and the golden calamansi drink. The halo halo was layered with all the usual "mix mix" ingredients, and topped with a big scoop of soft and creamy ube ice cream. It was delicious! The chicken inasal was a good portion, served with rice, a side of cucumber, tomato, onion, and a vinegar dip. So good and comforting. My husband liked his calamansi drink. It was tart and refreshing. I loved our first visit to 4estea, and can't wait to try more food and drinks on our next visit. Happy 1st Anniversary! Wishing you much success and several more years in business! Mabuhay!

I tried the turon matcha and it was really good but definitely soooo filling, I didnt expect it to be a whole dessert vibe. I had to share with my brother.

I finally stopped by after picking up something small at Chick Fil A next door. When I pulled up into the drive thru, there was a sign that said that the speaker was currently not working so had to go up to the drive thru window to order. Luckily there was no line when I was there! I pulled up to the drive thru window and initially ordered an Iced Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, they were out of matcha so I ended up going with my usual second choice drink which was an Iced Vanilla Chai. I also asked for light ice so it's not too much ice. The drink was made pretty quick so I didn't have to wait too long. I took a sip and was very pleased with their Vanilla Chai drink given it was my first time trying a drink from here! You can definitely taste the chai which was subtle and the vanilla sweetener made it even better. Will definitely try this place again to see how their Vanilla Matcha is! Luckily there's another location near my office building where I work so might give it a try there next time. Although I do love the drive-thru only concept when on-the-go!

The place was packed with people laughing, talking stories, and just soaking in the vibe. Even with how busy it was, the place stayed clean, the line moved smooth, and the baristas were awesome the whole time. Friendly, welcoming, and still keeping the energy up late into the night. I grabbed the iced Mufawaa and a baklava roll, and both absolutely delivered. That drink gave me the perfect boost before heading up the hill to my partner's house in Cameron Park, and the baklava roll was the little sweet knockout punch I didn't know I needed.
