Roots Coffee

This was a small coffee shop with nice and friendly staff. The drinks were good, and the bagel sandwiches were good.

Decent coffee shop with good coffee, comfortable seating and aesthetic, and helpful staff. California prices.. $4 for a double shot in a paper cup... But good coffee all the same. Indoor and outdoor seating is nice. Outside seating well shaded in the morning. Popular but not too busy to enjoy a quite sit or work.

Roots is a tough one to rate. The shop itself is small but has a really great vibe—lots of plants and a cozy feel. Staff is friendly and the menu is surprisingly large for the size of the place. The downside is parking. First time I tried to visit I couldn’t even find a spot and had to leave. You’ll likely have to park a little ways away and walk in. That said, I’m glad I went back because it’s definitely a nice spot if you’re already in the area. Probably wouldn’t make it a regular stop just because of the parking hassle, but worth checking out at least once.

Pro: Nice staff, pretty interior and good bagel. Con: Extra milky coffee. Only one plug for charging laptop. Wifi went slow sometimes. Bike parking around the corner, out of sight made me nervous.

Roots Coffee is a quaint café in downtown Sacramento. I ordered a salmon bagel, one of the breakfast specials of the day, along with a coffee drink called the “shakerato.” The bagel arrived piping hot and fresh, and it was absolutely delicious. The coffee drink was new to me, and I found it refreshing enough that I would order it again. Overall, I had a great experience at Roots Coffee and believe you will too. If you are looking for a small, quiet café, this might be just the spot for you. Keep in mind that seating is very limited, so if you visit during a busy time, there may not be a free table.
