Sweet Potatoes Up Beet Cafe
6401 Fairmount Ave, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“Sweet Potatoes Up Beet Cafe is a warmly run neighborhood gem where the owners genuinely know their regulars and care about building community—one reviewer raved about Janette's dedication on a cold Sunday morning. Beyond reliably good coffee, the real draw is the eclectic atmosphere: a cozy courtyard with European sidewalk vibes, a curated local boutique tucked inside, and seriously craveable food like mushroom empanadas that elevate it beyond your standard coffee shop. It's the kind of place where you'll linger in comfortable seating (indoors or out) and feel like you've stumbled onto Richmond's best-kept secret.”

Incredible service. On a cold Sunday morning, Janette is dedicated to the community. Keeping us caffeinated and fed. There are a lot of food options as well as some seating area inside and outside on a little patio. A very well kept secret. The drinks are great too with rose lattes and mochas and delicious cappuccinos. Definitely stop in and try this place and don't let the hours sway you because they may just be open!
Delicious! I got a mushroom empanada and a latte. The couple who runs the place are so nice and the seating is really comfortable. There's also a little outdoor area.
Such a super cute eclectic, locally owned coffee shop mixed with a boutique full of local treasures. Loved the food + drink options and the super chill vibes. We cozied up in the comfy seating area with our drinks before heading to the Bay for a hike, and I couldn’t resist browsing the locally made jewelry and clothes. Even played a game and pulled a few tarot cards before heading out. I had the iced Ube Rose Latte (floral with rose petals on top 🌹) while my hubby enjoyed a delicious Coconut Mocha. We also shared a warm, flavorful empanada — so good! Service was friendly, and the little outdoor patio out back is adorable. Love supporting a local mom + pop shop, especially when the owners are there sharing their passion with the community
Jennette (sp?) is lovely--so excited about this new neighborhood place. Nice inside with a beautiful side alley and tables out front on a real European-feeling sidewalk! Great coffee too!
Sweet Potatos Up Beet Café is really a cozy place! The atmosphere in the courtyard gives a continental feel, and the staff is always super nice and helpful. The coffee and the accompaniments are both generous, tasty and affordable. It is a place where you can really enjoy a relaxing moment with a cup of coffee.
