Coffee Works—Shop East Sacramento Recommendation

Posted on 11/22/2011 by admin

Local shops employ our neighbors, support teams and donate to charities. ESP celebrates the holidays with profiles of our East Sacramento shops. Support our neighbor-merchants. Shop Local!

Yesterday we introduced Juno’s, our newest J Street eatery.

Now, what about that cuppa joe?

Coffee Works set down roots on Folsom Blvd on the corner of the 34^th/35^th Street Alley in 1982 and never left. The family business specializes in Central American coffee and does the roasting on site.

The baristas are famous for their friendliness and service. Coffee Works is a definite stop to shop for the holidays. You can order coffee shipped and gift cards are available.

Juno’s Kitchen and Delicatessen Wows East Sacramento

Posted on 11/22/2011 by admin

Some times we’re lucky. With the addition of Juno’s to East Sacramento we’re also blessed.

Four-star chef Mark Helms trained his eye on producing perfect sandwiches and soups. His sandwiches are first-rate, but the soup, well… first some background. Since Chef Pont sold La Bonne Soupe, Sacramento has keened for an original, top-notch soup destination. Mourn no longer. Twice last week ESP had Juno soups—cauliflower beef and a corn, potato chowder. Hallelujah, we’ve been saved. The recipes are original and the execution sublime.

Did I mention the bread? Well, memories of France danced in my head as I walked home with a crinkling brown bag, oozing wafts of freshly baked dough. Le pain was light, fresh and still warm.

Juno’s is one of our newest, locally owned businesses. Thanks to Chef Helms for choosing a walkable, East Sacramento location.
