Less than a month after Temple Coffee moved from its 10th Street location, four artisan coffee enthusiasts are taking over the space to open Broadacre Coffee and offer a personalized, one-on-one, cultural take on modern-day cafes. Brothers Lucas Elia and Jacob Elia – who owned Bloom Coffee in Roseville for three years – and former Bloom Coffee baristas, Andrew Lopez and Justin Kerr, are in the process of setting up their new coffee shop at 1014 10th St., which is slated to open in the next we... everrlyn avogadro16 comment-58118 2011-10-02T04:00:21Z 2011-10-02T04:00:21Z I made it a point to stop by that day and see if they lived up to the talk. They made an excellent first impression, and now I don't have to walk an extra block to Temple Coffee. As much as I love Temple, I don't see a reason to get my daily dose of Joe from them when Broadacre serves the same, if not better, quality coffee. Especially, since Temple jacked up their prices...BOOOO avogadro16 2011-10-02T04:00:21Z Evelyn Santillan comment-58077 2011-10-01T00:56:30Z 2011-10-01T00:56:30Z Not sure if you've all heard the news or not, but Broadacre Coffee opened its doors today. There's more information and updates posted on their Twitter.

They also seem to have raised their prices." Money! Our money! Temple moved because the City held a big fat redevelopment check under the owner's nose to prop up their failed "Lofts" building. Just like Solyndra on a smaller basis, burn through the taxpayer money and enjoy it. While Temple may survive, many subsidized downtown restaurants have not. And why should they? It isn't their money. Burn through it and shut the doors. That is redevelopment, Sacramento style! jltulock 2011-09-29T03:37:22Z Evelyn Santillan comment-57961 2011-09-28T01:32:14Z 2011-09-28T01:32:14Z I've been check back with the Facebook and Twitter for any updates to share. I haven't seen any concrete dates, but it looks like everything is coming together nicely. And the owners actually came up with the name Broadacre from the proposed city of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's Broadacre City was a whole new take on what cities were like in that time, making Broadacre a fitting name for this coffee shop.

I just hope that when they were quoted about customers typically paying $4 and $5 for a machine "spitting out" coffee at those other places that they really don't intend on charging that for a DRIP (or whatever process they're calling it) cup of JOE. Temple already charged $2.50. That was enough. Now if we can only work on the parking situation around there.....

It's definitely brighter with more hanging lights and it has a more simple, yet refined look. It sounds like we're going to have wonderful gourmet coffee with experts behind the counter....Can't wait for it to open up.

Downtown has more than enough roadways to carry traffic flow. The solution is housing and urban living in downtown, to make it more than a 9 to 5 city, and bring revenue to local retailers. Hopefully, the residents from the Sacramento suburbs who have the courage to come downtown and open up shop will encourage and catalyze a rebirth of downtown just like what old Temple Coffee did to that stretch of downtown several years ago. Let's hope Broadacre will be the beginning of a new era in the downtown core. cDlebTms 2011-09-24T02:12:08Z Rhys02 comment-57783 2011-09-24T00:05:57Z 2011-09-24T00:05:57Z Wish them all the luck.... now if the city council would focus on bringing residents into downtown, instead of cars on K Street..they may have a chance at being successful.

I love the new name, Broadacre. I checked their twitter and FB, but did not see any specific dates these brothers will be opening up their store. I'm anxious to stop by and get my daily coffee on my way to work. It is wonderful to see another coffee house at the same standard of excellence coming downtown. Keep up the great work, and let us know of the opening date.

Plus, the guys seem to really know the science and arts of coffee. I pass by the place everyday on my way to work at the Capitol, and it's coming along really well, so I'm very excited for their opening. avogadro16 2011-09-23T22:23:27Z Bea comment-57759 2011-09-23T19:46:25Z 2011-09-23T19:46:25Z Not quite sure why Temple moved, their new location is very loud and doesn't seem much bigger (not to mention block further from the Capitol).
