A popular matcha dessert spot that uses ingredients straight from Japan has temporarily closed. Matcha Cafe Maiko, which has a location at 6905 Stockton Blvd. in south Sacramento’s Little Saigon district, has temporarily closed.

Not just south Sacramento, but all stores temporarily closed on Nov. 8. with Matcha Cafe Maiko also pausing operations in San Francisco. The popular matcha cafe announced its reinvention in October. “While our name is changing, you’ll still find many of the flavors and favorites you know and love (made with ceremonial grade matcha!),” the franchise wrote online . “(There will be) even more of the Matcha Toko experience to take shape in the months ahead.” Alongside the momentary halt, Matcha Cafe Maiko has taken down its Instagram and Facebook accounts. With the new name and storefront designs, the Matcha Toko team wrote that while the menu will remain the same, there will also be “new creations” added to its matcha menu.

One of Sacramento's best vegetarian eateries is in Little Saigon and only takes cash

Hot pork pho, chicken vermicelli noodles and lobster in tomato sauce are all served at this snug eatery but with a twist: it’s all vegetarian and vegan, and they only take cash. The cold season is upon us and as many people are getting out sweaters and hats, I went on a hunt for one of my favorite comfort foods: noodles and hearty plant-based meals My hunt is over, and I’m here to report on what may be one of the best restaurants in Sacramento. Tucked in the Little Saigon District there is a cozy restaurant serving a variety of hearty and light vegetarian dishes.

Rodent enters Sacramento restaurant during health inspection. What else was found?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a soul food restaurant after finding about rodent droppings throughout the facility in addition to the live rodent. 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, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4.

Sacramento rats, food recalls and a new Roseville restaurant. Here's what to know

Sacramento-area residents have a mix of news to track this Thursday, from pest problems to pantry safety to a new dining option. Here’s a quick look at three stories making headlines. Sacramento ranked No. 20 on Orkin’s 2026 list of the 50 worst U.S. cities for rodent infestations, and a Terminix home inspector told The Bee that rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors during colder months , squeezing through holes as small as a dime to nest in walls. October brought a wave of food recalls affecting California shoppers , including WinCo salsa bean dip trays tied to peperoncini from a company linked to a dead mouse video, a frozen lemon alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart for possible listeria, more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade with undeclared yellow dyes and Once Upon a Farm toddler snack bars pulled over a choking hazard. Bohl, the Elk Grove salad and rice bowl spot owned by former Dutch Bros franchisees Hailey and Kyle Garret, is opening a second location at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville in 2027 , serving signature bowls like the “lettuce enter the dragon” and “steak me outside” alongside build-your-own options.

Cinnamon Roll Cafe Preparing to Open in Midtown Sacramento

Cinnapop Cafe is preparing to open at 611 16th St. in Midtown Sacramento, with a soft opening planned for November. The cafe is owned by husband-and-wife team Tola Vong and Chhayleang Tang, who began selling their baked treats from a pop-up tent at Sacramento farmers markets earlier this summer. The cafe is small, at about 500 square feet, so the couple is focused on making it feel warm and homey, like a place where customers can walk in and feel at home. Their goal is for the cinnamon rolls to taste homemade.
