Roots Coffee

I have been waiting for the right moment to take my time and give the highest praise to this amazing coffee shop. An absolute gem tucked away in downtown doco area. I work close in the area and come here regularly. It's hard to not admire the beautiful interior with all the propagated plants. Gives you a cozy feeling and suits the "roots" name. Coffee shops these days are focused on mainly just aesthetic, but this place not only has incredible atmosphere but a coffee specialty menu to match. My absolute fav is the honey cream latte. I get it iced and the coffee for the espresso itself always is the staple flavor in the drink. And the specialty drinks? AGAIN. JUST WOW. I had a "pumpkin pie latte" during Christmas that was to die for. And a "white mocha pistachio" with creamy pistachio flavoring paired with the mocha. And right now during Valentine's Day season I had a hot "chocolate covered strawberry" latte that when ordered iced comes with a strawberry cold foam. So unique and I'm always dying to see what the next season will bring for drinks. Not to mention the food is delicious with lox bagels and macarons in the pastry case. They use to serve these brownie chocolate chip cookies and I still think about them. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK. I recall telling a staff member once how much I love the cookies and her response was "they are made with love." AGAIN. PLEASE. BRING THEM BACK. Staff here is wonderful and always kind. One of the gentleman who works here always remembers me and has conversation with me knowing I work locally. This place makes my day better every single time I visit and the days I'm not working nearby I'm so tempted to make the walk or find parking nearby just to indulge in another delicious drink. I can confidently say this is the BEST COFFEE SHOP in the Sacramento area, and due to being so tucked away and not in an ideal parking area for Doco I wish more people knew and raved about this place. I will hype this place up EVERY CHANCE I GET with every person I know until it gets the recognition it deserves. Thank you roots for being exactly what you are. And did I mention they have a REWARDS PROGRAM ?! *chef's kiss*

(3.5, but rounded up)I decided to try out this place because the menu items seemed interesting. Walked in and this place seemed nice and cozy. There was a display case with a treats and a wide range menu of drinks. I decided to try out the seasonal drinks with my friend. I got the sweet potato pie latte and she got the pistachio white mocha. The wait for the drinks was not too long and our server was very nice. After taking my first sip of my drink, it was quite sweet and lacked coffee flavor. Usually, I'm not a snob with my coffee. I enjoy my drinks on the sweeter side, but but I wish the coffee was stronger. The pistachio white mocha was also very sweet, it might've been sweeter than my drink. I was really hoping for the spot to be a hit, but it wasn't my favorite. Because of the lack of coffee flavor, it brought down the rating. Especially since this place is in downtown where there are a lot of great coffee shops.

I tried the Pumpkin Pie Cold Brew, and it didn't disappoint! The flavor was perfectly balanced--just the right amount of sweetness and spice without overpowering the cold brew. It was just the boost of energy I needed! There was an event going on nearby, so the place was pretty busy, but luckily, the wait wasn't too long. The staff were nice and quick, which was a bonus given the crowd.We also grabbed a s'mores cookie and had it warmed up--it was sooo good! The gooey marshmallow and melted chocolate were the perfect treat. Plus, this coffee shop is in DOCO, making it a great place to stop and chill while exploring the area. We'll definitely be back again soon for more coffee and sweets! Overall I would give 4.5

Another new coffee shop to try on my morning walk. This place is cute and a cozy but man was it difficult to find. I literally walked right past it not once but twice!! Once I found it, I successfully ordered my usual ice mocha. I didn't realize how many options they had until I saw the menu. I'll definitely be back to try something new and go outside my comfort zone. Their pastries are from Bella Bru and I was so tempted to order the cinnamon roll but I was good this time around, lol.

Roots Coffee Shop in Sacramento is a delightful establishment conveniently located near the Golden 1 Center. The warm and inviting atmosphere makes it an ideal place to relax or catch up with friends. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and attentive, and the touch of greenery throughout the store adds to its charm. It's a great place to unwind, whether you're working on your laptop or simply enjoying a quiet moment.While I didn't have the opportunity to try the food, I look forward to sampling it on my next visit. I had a white chocolate mocha, which was satisfactory, and I plan to explore other flavors in the future.

The vibes here are immaculate! The baristas were so friendly and accommodating. I have to echo what a lot of reviews are saying about the coffee not being strong enough as my latte tasted more like strawberry milk than a full-bodied latte, but I'm looking forward to trying more options in the future and feel that they are deserving of 5 stars. I was just a little disappointed for an $8 drink. Would love to see some gluten free pastries, too.

I love the coffee here it's so fresh and different and Kelly is my favorite barista she super sweet and makes the most perfect delicious coffee . They make any coffee you crave , I love the raspberry white mocha & the pistachio white mocha

The Honey Cream Latte is to die for. I only came here once for a baseball game and I got coffee here. The parking was in the garage so you need to walk. Unless I missed the parking somewhere else closer. The water is so food too. Give that a try if they still have it for free.

Took a walk to this location while in the doco area and it's such a bummer that it's in such a weird spot. If you walk down DOCO and turn right once you past the area to your left you can find this location close to the freeway. We ordered two specialty coffees that are available while supplies last at their location : Vietnamese iced coffee and the pistachio matcha. My friend absolutely loved her matcha and it was so beautiful too. I liked my Vietnamese coffee and it was strong like most Vietnamese iced coffees should be! I would def come back If I'm in the area.

I came in for a very quick coffee run and got the honey latte. It was pretty solid! Very milky for those who like a milky latte. If you're an actual coffee lover who drinks coffee for coffee not sure if this would be a good choice. Staff were really nice and the inside looked really cozy with lots of seats
