If you love food, Sacramento needs to be added to your list! If you are headed to the California Capitol make to sure include these on your list!
Temple Coffee
Speciality drink is BLISS! Peppermint tea, vanilla soy milk, coconut milk, honey steamed in the milk and you have to wait about 10 mins before you drink it
Fox & Goose
First of all the establishment is housed in what was once the Fuller Paint & Glass Company. Exposed brick is my favorite design element!I enjoyed coming here for breakfast/brunch. The main event - home made scones! Perfectly made, crispy on the outside but velvety on the inside! I think it also has to do with the devonshire cream, the thick spread really compliments the density of the scone.
Pizza Rock
blends some of my favorite things, good pizza and good music! The vibe inside is really fun and they incorporate a lot of rock and roll elements, like the menus have records as pages. Pizza is an obvious choice but for the appetizer make sure to get the italian coccoli! This is the real hero: Sea Salted Fried Dough, Prosciutto di Parma, Burrata Cheese. SO.MUCH.YES.
BOBA tea
One of my favorite things about California is the mix of so many different cultures. A must try are the boba teas. There are a few different places to try, T4 is the best option for an Instagram experience. It has super cute decor and a lovely flower wall backdrop, but quickly has always been my favorite. Quickly teas are much better in flavor and a bit cheaper. I like getting the taro boba and egg puffs (which are like a sweet waffle). It's a great afternoon snack and way to cool off during the super hot summers in NoCal.
Soup Dumplings
You don’t really find Soup Dumplings everywhere so when I find them, I have to check it out! Journey to Dumplings was our pick and I loved it! You can really tell each dish is prepared well and with lots of flavor. We opted for traditional pork soup dumplings and pan fried soup dumplings. Remember it is ok to admit you don't know how to eat soup dumplings, it is super important to do it right! Our server taught us a trick with the sauces and spoon and no one burned their mouth!
Zocalo Mexican
Zocalo Midtown has the best happy hour! Food & drink specials start at just $5! Various types of margaritas like traditional, strawberry basil, blackberry oh my! You can grab a glass or go for the pitcher! The $5 tostadas were our favorite and went great with the chips and guac.
