Crema's Take

Roots Coffee is a cozy downtown Sacramento spot where you'll find friendly staff, lush plant-filled corners, and a surprisingly expansive menu tucked into an intimate space. Their bagel sandwiches are a standout—try pairing one with their creative signature drinks like the shakerato—though fair warning that the coffee can run on the milky side if you prefer it bold. It's perfect for lingering over breakfast or settling in with your laptop, just snag a seat near the outlets if you're planning to stay awhile.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

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,…
