Cafes near Gold River

“This is a solid out-of-the-way sandwich place to have lunch at. Probably a bit more like 3.5 stars. However my group of friends kinda created a lunch rush. I imagine he's more used to in-office customers. My walking group of 6 came in and sorta overwhelmed this tiny cafe that when we were there, was a one-man operation. He did a good job of juggling all the roles he had to play in making turkey sandwiches and grilling fresh hamburger patties just outside. The hamburger I had was good. Not too big or anything. Just the right sized servings. It tasted like a homemade burger. He took care to toast the buns on a panini grill and had tomato and pickle slices on top. The seating inside is just one table with 4 chair, however...! Outside is a beautiful shaded patio area with a beautiful waterfall. It was a perfect quiet lunch spot for our group. (Lots of shaded parking, too!). There's only one entrance to the building that is unlocked, so if you parked on the wrong side, you'll have to walk around. It's a simple, limited sandwich menu. If that's what fits you needs, then I recommend this little secret spot. Especially if you like sitting outside with a waterfall.“

“Let me just say that I love this place. My co-workers and I are typically in here *at least* once a week for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee. The proximity is awesome, but they've also got a great selection on their menu. The cheesesteak Wednesday special is always delicious (they make the rolls in house and they are the perfect combo of soft and chewy), the Asian noodle salad is so good (the dressing is house made with fresh herbs), the foundation sandwich is amazing, I love their breakfast items and I can always count on John to make a good coffee drink too! I'm not sure where the bad reviews came from, except maybe they're bent out of shape that the prices don't compare to the local dollar menu? If you call your order in, you can avoid the occasional rush that they get in here.“

“We had not been here in awhile so we decided to try Chicha again and what a great surprise!! The food was delicious and had the taste my wife was looking for and she being Peruvian knows very well the meaning of that. If you love Peruvian food I highly recommend you head over here and check it out. The owners and staff made sure the experience was a fantastic one. They are opening a second Chicha in Midtown at the end of March. Excellent Restaurant.“

“The best breakfast experience ever! What a beautiful cafe! They serve delicious food and tea and their staff is extremely kind, pleasant, and helpful. The Syrniki and Potato Bacon Vareniki were so delicious and fresh! The Salmon Croissant Sandwich was so yummy and crisp and the Berry Blossom Tea was like drinking fresh berry jam and was the most amazing and refreshing tea I've ever had. I would recommend this cafe to anyone and I'd love to come back often!“

“Excellent place to grab a meal with friends or family. The service and staff were friendly, the food delicious and large portioned, and the prices very reasonable. The atmosphere was comfy mixed with a little retro. Very fun. You should definitely give it a try.“

“Came on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. The inside was brightly lit with cute white seating. We loved the adorable bear logo throughout. The menu had your standard drinks and some specials. The desserts sounded great and wish we could try them all. We decided the magic mango, Oreo smoothie, and cookies and cream Swiss roll. The magic mango was a mango milk and was amazing! I've never thought the two could work together but it does! Our drinks came in the cutest cups with the bear lid. I'm so sad we didn't take a picture!We'll be back to try more desserts and drinks!“

“The food is a flavorful, incredible explosion of joyful bliss for the taste buds; light, freshly made, and healthy. The service is top-notch. Vivian is a helpful, beautiful person, inside and out. The atmosphere is like a comfortable vacation in paradise...and the desserts are a work of art and to die for. Only took a picture of the dessert. Will go back to take a picture of the food. Highly recommend this place. You will fall in love again.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

“Found Wtcr after the other independent I wanted to go to was too busy. Super good lavender latte, not too lavendery, plus a mocha half sweet was excellent too. Very nice employees, cute space and fancy pastries made in house looked too good to eat. Maybe that next time.“

“Met a friend for breakfast as she loves her breakfasts! Enjoyed the veggie omelet and she devoured her order. The Easter decorations were adorable. Good service. Knew we'd hit a good spot by the large number of diners on a Friday late morning.“

“Lovely little cafe with amazing food and a nice atmosphere.My husband and I sat on the velvet green couches to get some work done and enjoyed oat cappuccinos and the Caprese Avocado Toast. The portion was very generous and the food fresh and flavorful! Would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a delicious cafe to eat at.“

“My go to lunch spot when I want something fresh, healthy, and cooked with real ingredients. My favorite is their veggie delight wrap with feta added and the turmeric sauce it comes with is just perfect. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and fresh meal.“

“The manager and staff are awesome . The manager Guy suggested different drinks and my coffee was good he did it exactly how I wanted. I am very picky when it comes to strong coffee and less sugar. I highly recommend the wet cappuccino. Friendly place and cute“

“I work at MSJ and went here for the first time because the prices are comparable to the hospital cafeteria and a coworker recommended them. I had the birria quesadilla and Mexican corn. Delicious!!! Let's just say I want to go there every time I work. It's taking all of my self control to eat my boring leftovers when I know such delicious food is a very short 2 min walk away.“

“Java Cherry in Citrus Heights is truly a hidden gem, and it's quickly become one of my favorite spots in the area. As a local family-owned business, it exudes a warmth and charm that is hard to find elsewhere.Louise, the manager, is an absolute delight. Her passion for coffee and dedication to providing exceptional service shines through in every interaction. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're always greeted with a friendly smile and genuine hospitality.The location of Java Cherry, nestled not too far from Costco, makes it a convenient stop for a delicious pick-me-up. On my recent visit, I indulged in their Peppermint Mocha, which was an absolute delight – the perfect blend of rich coffee and refreshing mint. And let's not forget about their Kahlua Cake – it was a heavenly treat that left me craving for more.What I love most about Java Cherry is its cozy atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for quiet meetings or simply unwinding with a good book. The ambiance is welcoming, with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer.Overall, Java Cherry exceeded my expectations in every way. From the delicious drinks and treats to the exceptional service and inviting atmosphere, it's clear that this place is something special. If you find yourself in Citrus Heights, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Java Cherry. You won't be disappointed!“

“What a hidden gem! Great place for a sandwich and a coffee or a baked item - or all three! Inside is nice, but their patio is the best! Lots of seating and a little coffee bar building in the back, multiple fountains, a few roosters running around. What a great place to work or hang out, perfect old Fair Oaks vibe!“

“I recently discovered this bakery and I've been back at least once a week since. The service is excellent and personal. I love a family run small business! I can see into the kitchen and see a Nonna and Poppa making my pastries and so the food is top tier. ? I especially love the Blueberry scone and a new to me treat, Gata. All the pastries, I've tasted have been wonderful (cookies, cinnamon rolls, etc)Parking: It's in a shopping plaza on a main road, but I often get parking right in front of the bakery.Kid-friendliness: My kids love their cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies.“

“Came here on a Monday morning to enjoy some alone time. Outdoor seating was pleasant. Tables and silverware not the most clean but they had some good vegetarian and vegan options. So it's a 5/5 for me. I would eat here again. The soup was good but the vegan tamale was very very good.“

“Don't miss this place! Delicious, fresh Thai food located inside Broadstone Raquet Club (no membership required to visit the cafe). Kiki is so kind & friendly & makes everyone feel welcome & appreciated. Hidden gem for sure! I've already planned my next visit“

“Bloom is amazing! The atmosphere is very fresh clean and comfortable - staff is very nice and accommodating. You get the sense that the staff here are well taken care of and that reflects in the vibe and hospitality. They offer a lot of healthy options for those who don't eat meat, and lots of options for those who do. I ordered a salad and a coffee. The flavor of the coffee was amazing and you can taste the quality in the salad. Highly recommend.“

“This particular World Travelers Coffee Roasters location is one of my favorites! The atmosphere is upbeat and positive. Big windows provide a lot of light, whether sunny or not. Which lends to the great view of the always busy yet interesting E. Bidwell thorough fare.On this particular visit, I was craving a honey lavender coffee and one of the many pastries that is offered. Blame it on the rain:). Hot coffee, warmed pastry... Definitely calling to me!It's always so nice to enter any business and have smiling faces and hellos from the peeps behind the counter. Today, that was three beautiful ladies full of energy and greeting me with their bubbly enthusiasm. I love that!Chatting with them while ordering my extra hot, honey lavender, and yummy looking pistachio muffin was pleasurable as I was not in my cray cray hurry up mode.Obviously, I am not the only one who enjoys World Travelers on East Bidwell as it was packed! The hum of talking, the laptops clicking and solo people sipping and staring into space. Oh yeah!My order was delicious and perfect! I kinda wished I could have had the time to sit there and enjoy. But not in the stars today. Next time for sure.Thank you, lovey ladies, for your over-the-top customer service and sweet saying written on my cup! Oh, and the pistachio pastry was fabulous.Cheers!“

“What a great cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've ate here several times and it never disappoints. The quality of food is plentiful and delicious and I appreciate the attention to detail. Will continue to be a go to spot, and I highly recommend others to try! Thanks for the great grub!“

“Good food, though I wish I had been given a choice of the regular vs vegan cinnamon roll. Wasn't aware there were two kinds until I reviewed the online menu at home later. Also, buyers beware! I was overcharged. The printed menu listed one price, and I was charged another. When I pointed it out to our server, they didn't apologize. Just disappeared for 10 minutes before giving me an adjusted bill. Am thankful that the printed menu price was honored.“

“I eat at Huckleberry’s at least twice a month, today however my experience was not good to the point that I did not leave a tip and feel terrible about that. I went in around noon on Sunday, I knew it would be busy. I signed in for one and was told it would be a 10 minute wait. I sat there roughly 10 minutes. Two ladies came in signed in. Apparently they knew one of the waitress and were seated a few minutes later even though I was there before them. A waiter then approached the hostess and pointed at the clipboard, the hostess told him she was not going to seat one person in a booth. So I approached the hostess that initially signed me in and inquired why the two ladies were given a booth even though I was there before them, she didn’t know and looked for the waitress who sat them. The waitress proceeded to move them to a bigger booth to seat me. I was very disappointed. I realize it was not right to leave a tip but customers should not be given preferential treatment.“

“Highly recommend this spot for those who want to stay healthy but have a big sweet tooth! The service is great, requested my shake to be extra thick and the guy who made it did not let me down! Environment is welcoming but the shake itself is worth the drive from Roseville!“

“Franco and his wife are awesome. They take care of me every time, even if I'm an hour late for breakfast. Brought my friend and his dog last time, and the wife brought out extra bacon for the pupper! Couldn't be nicer people if they tried.When I first saw the prices at Francos, I thought the menu must be ten years old. It's not. I actually called and checked. Still couldn't believe it.As for the food itself, you will not find a more perfectly cooked dish this side of grandma's house. It's amazing.We love you guys, Franco!“

“As of last year, my team and I have been coming to Bayside Cafe for our regular meetings. What we love about the place is the comfortable chairs, great coffee and pastries, and the overall atmosphere! Located right off of Sierra college blvd and near Douglas which makes it very convenient. Being a businessman and always on the go, it is nice to find a great place for meetings.“

“I don't see how there could be anything less than 5 stars for this place. I'm angry though. Angry I didn't try it sooner! Quite literally the best breakfast burrito I've ever had in my life. No BS. Wow. Great job to the ladies working hard to make the gold standard of breakfast burritos. I'll be back!“

“Pretty busy on St. Patrick's Day. The service was quick and good. Martina was very friendly. I had the chicken fried steak and it was made fresh. The steak was a bit too chewy but it was flavorful. My wife had the biscuits and gravy with two sausages and scrambled eggs. The sausages were excellent and the biscuits were moist.“

“A gem of an establishment in Rancho Cordova. Golden Bean is a delicious spot for breakfast and lunch as well as coffee! Delicious sandwich, salads and soup options. They also have various favorites for vegetarians as well as meat lovers. Whether you're craving a healthy salad, a cold sandwich or a warm panini, this place is a great option for you. My husband and his staff went here for lunch the other day and they truly enjoyed their experience! Great customer service, quality food and I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“O Cafe is the hidden gem of Fair Oaks. Hell, it's the hidden gem of Sac County. Everything I've eaten here from the croissants and scones to the amazing specials (the boeuf bourguignon was fantastic) has been delicious, filling, and reasonably priced.This place has quickly become one of our go-tos.“

“Get yourself here to try some of the delectable gelato flavors. Each one we tried was delicious and we can't wait to get back to try more. They also offer banana splits, shakes, and affogatos. The coffee used for the affogato was not my favorite (but the gelato more than made up for it). Keeping the 5 stars since it was good, but I'm just kind of a coffee snob (went to coffee tasting classes and brew small batch, freshly ground beans in a French press daily). Overall, great service and ambience with good quality product. Highly recommend.“

“If you're looking for a nice, relaxing vibe in a coffee shop, Shady Coffee and Tea is a great spot! They have a few seating options inside & out. They also keep the music at a level conducive to conversation & studying. The plants give it a nice touch as well. It's kind of like a "come over and hang in my back patio" homey feel. The staff is friendly, helpful, and thorough! My friend's Chai was "too Chai" for her and they quickly took care of it for her. I also had questions about the place such as, are they open to community events (art classes), what type of power sources they have, etc. All of my questions were answered and I was given the owner's email address. By the way, they have several power sources inside and only one outside. I'd recommend charging your devices and bringing a backup power source, just in case. Check it out!“

“10/25/2023: Tyler, Nick and Anastasia (Student Finals) have still left me in disbelief that 9 hrs earlier today I had the most surreal Black Gyoza, Marinated Hanger Steak (melted in my mouth) and Japanese Cheesecake. The maturity and confidence of the professionals I spoke with rivals that of any Michelin 1-Star restaurant. My condolences to the judge who must pick one winner.“

“Folsom Cafe provides a delightful coffee experience with a charming atmosphere in Old Folsom. The cozy ambiance enhances the enjoyment of their excellent coffee selection. The standout item, without a doubt, is their gingerbread scone - a flavorful treat that adds a unique and delicious touch to your visit. Highly recommended for coffee enthusiasts seeking a warm and inviting spot in the heart of Folsom.“

“Everything we've tried here has been great, but my favorites are the Asian noodle salad and the club sandwich on a croissant. Always have to get a chocolate chip cookie too. The staff is always friendly and try to be as quick as they can but sometimes it's a bit busy and they're a bit overwhelmed. Depending on who put together your to go order if you're picking up food, you may always want to check it. Some of the employees are good about checking to make sure you have the right items and a complete order but I've had a couple of instances where I had to question things were missing. It's not intentional, just gets overlooked.. Despite that one challenge I definitely recommend this place at least for takeout“
