Vaneli's Handcrafted Coffee

This place is amazing! Not just the best coffee, but the most considerate and caring customer service!I took my 15-year-old autistic daughter there today.We were greeted by Kelly! She made us feel very comfortable. And, she prepared the most beautiful, white mocha with a double shot of espresso for my daughter! She said it's the best coffee she has ever had!Definitely prepared with love!I'm looking forward to being a regular customer!

It was great discussing and dialing-in my at-home espresso shots with Pong! He even made an espresso flight in the shop to taste the different bean blends and gave good tips on making espresso at home! Beans are always freshly roasted (typically roasted within a day). I highly recommend Vaneli's for any coffee/espresso questions!

This is a looonnggggg overdue review for Vaneli's and its most hospitable manager and coffee expert Pong. Now as I rack my brain to recall the coffee names and blends, I regret not writing sooner.Vaneli's is a coffee roaster and distributer. It is not a coffee shop, but if the store isn't too busy, Pong will generously brew you samples of coffee. Being a coffee connoisseur, he will serve each sample in a new cup to keep the flavors pure and separate.I think we tried 4 or 5 different coffees. I knew that Rocklin Donuts & Cinnamon, 105 Noshery, and Pottery World Cafe all served Vaneli's coffee, so we tried all 3 of those.Rocklin Donuts & Cinnamon: Monster Italian105 Noshery: A blend of Italian Roast and French Roast???Pottery World Cafe: Blend of the Opera???Just ask the store which coffee bean your favorite restaurant uses.As we leisurely tasted our coffee, devoted customers came in, ordering 5 lb bags of their favorite coffee. One customer hooked his friends and coworkers on Classic Dark, so my best friend ended up buying that based on trust. I think that customer might have bought 15 lb of that coffee while we were there to distribute to his people! We had fun chatting with and learning from Pong and the various customers.My favorite was the Monster Italian, which is dark, sweet, and flavorful. It is also a bestseller.My friend, who prefers medium roast, liked Pottery World Cafe's coffee sample the most even though he didn't like it at the restaurant. We were told that the flavor difference may be due to the storage or age of the coffee bags.In addition, Vaneli's has won awards for its Classic Cremosa and Organic Hambela Wamena Natural.There's even a coffee named Elite Blend!You can find all sorts of coffee brewing equipment and supplies here. I bought a shot glass measuring cup to measure either 1 oz or 2 oz.Many thanks again to Pong and Vaneli's for sharing their coffee and wisdom!

we were lucky enough to discover this amazing coffee at Sutter Greek in Sutter Creek, we asked our waitress what brand of coffee they served us & we loved it, so stopped in at Vanelis & bought some, Kelly was very helpful & offered to grind our beans, the smell is so wonderful, i only wish i knew how to use those elaborate coffee makers, cant wait for our morning coffee

Recently had a chance to check out this local gem in Rocklin. The staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating. I was able to try out the recommended blends for espresso and pour over. The beans are freshly roasted and I was able to pull delicious espresso shots with my at-home setup. Highly recommended. Will definitely come back to check out their accessories and for more beans!

Great coffee and service. I haven't found a coffee I didn't like. The classic cremosa makes great espresso drinks. I'm also glad they serve so many local stores in my area.

Extremely good coffee and customer service! They cater to businesses but are always generous with their time and knowledge.

amazing coffee. I order online since i live far away from their store. Ships quickly as well. A lot of local places in sacramento buy from them wholesale; a testament to how good their stuff is. I went to the store a couple months ago and staff were super friendly too. They can pre grind the coffee for you as well in the back if needed. Prices are a bit higher than other brands, but you get what you pay for!

Vaneli's is primarily focused on commercial customers (restaurants, coffee shops, etc folks who are buying in bulk), so initially we were a little intimidated walking in as regular retail folks.Having moved into the area a little under a year ago, we've spent the entire year looking for a new go to coffee roaster, and have finally found it! We had tried all the other places (Choco fish, world travellers, etc ) and while those places have their selling points, we didn't ultimately like their roasts, but Vaneli's smooth, chocolatey, nutty roasts is exactly up our alley! The other places weren't worth writing a review about, but Vaneli's is def worth writing home about!Pong, who greeted us as we walked into their little storefront (again not really geared towards retail), was very knowledgeable, and also very relatable! Knowing not everyone is as into or familiar with coffee, espresso, and the roasting and pulling process, Pong walked us through everything, and even provided sample espresso, coffee (multiple roasts), and even hot cocoa and mochas. We walked out pretty wired from all the caffeine, but with multiple bags in hand of a few of their products (monster Italian, organic, and hot cocoa).Price is extremely reasonable, and customer service even for retail folks is unsurpassed.We will be recommending this place, not only here on yelp, but to all our friends in the area.Also their showroom has a big selection of espresso machines and grinders and all kinds of related accessories, and we may have to upgrade soon!Thank you to Pong and the entire crew at Vaneli's for making us strangers feel like VIP customers and obviously for crafting an amazing cup of coffee!

Hands down the best coffee roaster I've ever been to. Pong assisted my husband and I during our visit. He was beyond knowledgeable and he truly went above and beyond to help us. He was super informative! He provided us with tastings and detailed information on everything we tried. Cannot wait to come back and try even more things!Thanks Pong! You're the best
