When winter chills your bones, Loomis has cozy spots to thaw out with a hot drink and hearty bites. Skip the chain cafes—these local favorites serve personality alongside their pours.
High-Hand Cafe: Sip Surrounded by Greenery
Location: 3790 Taylor Rd, Loomis, CA
Hours: Tues-Fri 11 AM–3 PM | Sat-Sun 9 AM–3 PM
Must-Try: Farm-fresh lunch plates, weekend brunch specials
This isn’t just a café—it’s a vibe. Grab a latte and wander through the nursery’s olive oil tastings, art gallery, or historic fruit shed. Weekdays mean quiet lunches with locally sourced ingredients, while weekends bring brunch crowds (reservations recommended). Pro tip: Order takeout and claim a self-service table among the plants. Groups of 14+ can book their Private Garden Dining Room—just plan five days ahead.

No frills, just speed and quality. Perfect for commuters or anyone who thinks “waiting in line” is a four-letter word. Their Instagram-worthy drinks pair well with grab-and-go pastries. Need a winter survival kit? Try their seasonal specials—think peppermint mochas that’ll defrost your fingertips.
Roanie’s Coffee & Cafe: The All-Day Hangout
Location: 3210 Boyington Rd. Ste 101 (Where everyone knows your name)

Roanie’s is that friend who’s always up for coffee. Work remotely at their sunny tables or swing by for a midday pick-me-up. Their drink menu spans classic lattes to creative concoctions—try the honey lavender latte if it’s on rotation. Café sandwiches and salads keep lunches simple but satisfying.

Sip surrounded by blooming gardens—their outdoor seating feels like spring in winter when the weather allows. While details are under wraps, regulars rave about pairing drinks with strolls through the nursery. It is ideal for slow mornings or gift-shopping breaks (their gift cards make great stocking stuffers).
