Luxury Coffee Coming to Roseville: Haute Coffee

A luxury café concept born in South Florida is making its California debut right here.

Haute Coffee opens its first West Coast location in Roseville this spring (with a Sacramento and Elk Grove outpost both expected to follow in April 2026).

The menu leans into globally-inspired drinks (think Adeni Karak Chai, Honey & Cardamom Latte, ceremonial-grade matcha, and Vietnamese coffee), alongside elevated food like Blue Zone grain bowls, sourdough breakfast plates, and wellness smoothies.

Worth watching.
