In no particular order...

 “The breakfast sandwiches at Caffé Santoro can be customized to your liking (bagel or bread, cheese, meat, egg and spread) and—when paired with one of their tasty Ghiradelli mochas—is the perfect way to jump-start your day. Their staff always goes above and beyond to make my experience exceptional.” 

Totem Coffee Co. is a gem off busy Main Street, tucked inside an ivy-covered courtyard and specializing in ethical and fair-trade specialty roasts. I love their almond milk lattes with house-made lavender syrup; what’s more, you can play tunes on the community record player, or bury your nose in a book from the free little library next door.” 

The Main Street Buzz Coffee House and Café in El Dorado has the best food ever—delicious sandwiches made with homemade spreads, fresh-baked scones and breakfast croissant sandwiches—with delicious coffee and the nicest staff and owner. I will drive 20 minutes just to have their yummy coffee and food!” 530-303-3006

Zia’s Italian Caffe and Gelato Bar takes their coffee and tea seriously, and it shows in every sip. Crafted using Sonoma grass-fed, Jersey cow organic milk with two choices of traditional Italian espresso blends (firenze and capri) and house-brewed chai, it’s worth taking a sip trip to this little gem.” 

 “In addition to beer and kombucha on tap, Foxwood Coffee makes Instagram-worthy espresso drinks (their foam is on fleek) and food (try the Lox Nest Bagel for breakfast and Cheesy Bacon Grilled Cheese for lunch).”
