Coffee & Treats in Roseville

For 20 years, Yogurt Delite's dairy mavens have plunged scoops into an ever-changing cast of seven daily frozen yogurts and custards. Waffle cones and megaphones in disguise catch creamy mounds of cake batter, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and blueberry cheesecake, as well as ample sugar-free and lactose-free varietals. Staff sprinkle scoops with 40 different toppings that span the wholesomeness spectrum, from fresh fruit to rivulets of warm marshmallow fudge. Smoothies merge nonfat vanilla yogurt with tropical fruits and supplements that imbue slurpers with energy to fight colds and dodge oncoming sneezes. Additionally, confectionary gurus mold frozen yogurts into chocolate-draped cakes and pies.

The staff at Juice It Up! conducts a symphony of whirring blenders, juice squeezers, and chattering ice in an effort to promote health. The smoothies and juices are colorful canvases whose crimson, emerald, and goldenrod hues are drawn from a palette of nonfat yogurts, sherbets, and acai berries as well as watermelon juice, chai tea, and ginseng. Nutritional supplements add a blast of energy, proteins, echinacea, or vitamins to drinks before a tough workout or a visit to tell a motorcycle gang its loan has not been approved.

Run by a duo of longtime friends with a mutual love for baking, Cupcake Craving rocketed to popularity from its modest beginnings—within a year of the first store’s grand opening, Sacramento Magazine awarded it the Diners’ Choice Award for the area’s best cupcake. Since then, the bakery has become a mainstay on CityVoters and KCRA 3's top-five dessert lists, and its handcrafted creations continue to earn new fans. Artful swirls of buttercream or cream-cheese frosting top the bakery’s diminutive cupcakes, which come in more than 20 traditional and signature flavors. The bakery can also handle orders for large parties and special occasions; an on-site artist designs custom cupcake cakes with special flavors and decorations to celebrate birthdays and welcome new gallons of milk into the home.
