Camellia blooms, Ethiopian to close

Also, a boutique/cafe to shutter, and updates on a taqueria, the new climbing gym and Teddy B’s

Camellia Coffee Roasters opened on Monday, filling the former Peet’s Coffee space at 231 E St. in downtown Davis.

It’s a soft opening. Hours are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

This is the company’s second cafe. Owners Rob Watson and Ryan Harden founded Camellia Coffee in 2016, at 1200 R St., Suite 120 in downtown Sacramento. They also have a private production space off Broadway in Sacramento.

The Sacramento cafe is also open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Harden said Davis hours may change based on demand.

The company is known for its quality and consistency, Harden said. “Breakfast sandwiches are made to order, and our coffee is unique to us.”

Besides traditional coffee drinks, the Davis cafe offers bagels with optional avocado, Ginger Elizabeth jam or “hooked-up”: with scallion-dill cream cheese and smoked salmon. The two-egg omelet breakfast sandwiches are made on a brioche bun with cheese, scallions and cholula aioli with bacon, sausage, veggies or a combination thereof, and optional avocado.
