German cockroaches and rodent droppings at East Sacramento brunch spot. What else

Sacramento County Health Inspectors found German cockroaches and rodent droppings at one East Sacramento brunch facility. Additionally, nine eateries were cited including a country club after health inspectors found uncovered ice cream in the freezer. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Nov. 5, through Wednesday, Nov. 11. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

It's soup season. Here are the Sacramento spots for slurping to your heart's content

It’s chilly. It’s rainy. That means one thing: soup. Whether it’s clear and brothy or thick and creamy, nothing warms and nourishes like a hot, satisfying bowl. There’s no shortage of spots in the greater Sacramento area where you can score a steaming bowl of fragrant pho, hearty ramen or spicy sundubu jiggae all year round, but a handful of restaurants are digging deep and celebrating soup season their own way. Mexican restaurant Algo Bueno has reprised its Instagram-famous soup flights . Chef and co-owner Zenaida Rodriguez cooks up cauldrons of her homey, comforting soups, and this year she’s expanding the selection, ramping up to 15 soups to choose from. Rather than investing in a single big bowl, the soup flights allow diners to select three, 10-ounce samples, presented much in the way craft beer flights are served. The selections are a sort of greatest hits of Mexican soups, including red and green pozole, menudo any day of the week, beef albondigas and a less-traditional birria ramen. New this year are shrimp albondigas, caldo de habas, made with broad beans, and fideo, with thin spaghetti-like noodles. Flights cost $21. You can make your way through the entire menu in five

Coffee shop opens in Sacramento serving ‘Yemen's liquid gold'

A Yemeni coffee franchise has opened its first California location in Sacramento. Matari Coffee made its debut Monday at 2601 J St. in Sacramento’s Marshall School neighborhood. The cafe serves hot espresso, chai, frappuccino, mojitos, matcha and other iced and hot sweet beverages. Named after the Bani Matar region in Sana’a, Yemen, the cafe uses beans from the country’s mountains. The owners of Matari Coffee said its drinks are more than “just a beverage.” They called it a legacy. “Known for its distinct winey acidity and deep chocolate undertones, these beans are still harvested using ancestral methods passed down through generations,” according to the company’s website. Matari Coffee uses a dry-processed method for its beans in order to “preserve the wild, fruity notes that coffee connoisseurs around the globe hunt for,” the site said of its high-altitude specialty coffee beans. “When you sip a Matari roast, you aren’t just tasting coffee—you are tasting five centuries of Yemeni agricultural pride.” The business considers its Matari coffee as “Yemen’s Liquid Gold,” a reference to the coffee’s heritage, rarity and lower acidity. Some of Matari Coffee's drinks include an iced pistachio latte, an iced banana matcha, and a Turkish dark roast. Their showcase

Upscale Mexican eatery is coming to Elk Grove's historic Railroad Street

A popular, upscale Mexican restaurant known for its live music is replacing a barbecue spot in Elk Grove. Rosa Madera is launching its second location in the Sacramento area at 9700 Railroad St. in Old Town Elk Grove. The site is taking over Horn Barbecue, which closed in February after nine months in business. Rosa Madera is originally from Orange County, with its flagship location in Santa Ana. The franchise came to Sacramento’s Valley Hi / North Laguna neighborhood at 7521 W. Stockton Blvd. in 2024. The restaurant’s most popular dishes include its enchiladas, carne asada street tacos, and its Los Favoritios plate, which is filled with birria chimichangas, al pastor nachos, and flautas de tinga, deep-fried corn tortillas with Mexican meat in a tomato-chipotle sauce. Its cocktail menu has just as much kick and flavor as its dishes, serving beverages like a sweet Mangoñeada, coconut margarita and spicy tamarindo. The restaurant has live entertainment, with a mariachi band performing on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, as well as a live DJ, according to the restaurant’s social media. Rosa Madera did not respond to an interview request from The Sacramento Bee. An exact opening date has not been announced. The location
