Crema's Take
“This Carmichael spot has earned devoted regulars with consistently excellent espresso-forward drinks that coffee enthusiasts compare favorably to bigger chains, while their generous pours and creative signature creations make it worth the drive-thru visit. The team shines brightest when they're on—delivering genuine warmth and crafting smooth, flavorful drinks that hit every time—though service and hours can be frustratingly inconsistent. If you catch them when they're fully staffed and the doors are open, you'll understand why people keep coming back nearly every day.”

We’ve been going to Coffee Nation almost every day for the past few months, and it’s a rare place where the quality isn’t just good—it’s consistently excellent. The service is always top-notch: friendly, fast, and attentive to details. The coffee is delicious both iced and hot, but the hot cappuccino and latte are especially impressive—perfect foam, rich flavor, and great balance. It’s really nice to find a café that maintains this level every single day. Thank you to the Coffee Nation team—you make our day better.
I’m a huge coffee snob, and I absolutely love their coffee! If I had to compare, it’s similar to Human Bean or Dutch Bros smooth, flavorful, and always hits the spot. Their sizes are super generous too (20 oz for a small!). I’ll definitely be coming back!
The person on drive was so sweet! I decided to get the pumpkin spice latte which was delicious 🎃☕️
My first and last experience there was terrible! My daughter and I walked in and an employee walked right by and said nothing, ok fine. The cashier saw us and said not a single word to us just gave a blank stare. I waited to be greeted and nothing! She finally gave a forced smile but no good morning just nothing. It was an awful feeling to have experienced. I didn’t order, instead I told my daughter let’s go. I felt discriminated against my daughter and I are of Latino/african background. I did notice that all of the people in there were Caucasian and that’s perfectly fine. But to have a young lady treat me and my daughter in such a manner was disgusting to say the least. I will not ever give them business and I hope that young lady realizes what she done and changes for the good. I have worked in Roseville for years matter of fact not far from this location. It’s unfortunate that some people choose to behave in such an offensive manner. Last time I checked this is a free & diverse country.
Always randomly closed. They are closed Thursday. We are here Friday 11am and there’s a sign in the window saying closed and will reopen tomorrow. Please update to accurately represent open hours. This is happened multiple times.
