The Warm & Hearty Flavors of Winter
Winter brings a special kind of comfort, inviting us to slow down and savor the warm, wintry flavors of the season. From rich drinks that chase away the chill to freshly baked treats and spices that wrap you in coziness, winter food turns even the coldest days into simple moments of joy. With steaming mugs in hand and comforting aromas filling the air, the best part of winter is often found in its taste.
Hot Soups at Taqueria Los Cantaritos
Nothing warms from within like a soup. With 8 soups to choose from, Taqueria Los Cantaritos is quite literally soup central. Try Menudo, a traditional Mexican soup made of cow stomach and a variety of aromatic spices. Not up for it? Go for something more familiar such as a Chicken Tortilla soup or their 7 Mares mixed seafood soup!

Heavenly Lasagna at The Place
Who can say no to lasagna and its flavorful layers of goodness? Available in limited quantities at 5pm on Friday and Saturday only, The Place’s version is a sought-after delicacy. It’s made with 10 layers of handmade pasta, a scrumptious bolognese meat sauce and Italian cheeses. The perfect winter comfort food is available right here in Downtown Roseville! Make a reservation because this hot dish sells out quickly!

Gingerbread, Cinnamon, and the Grinch at The Fig Tree
The Fig Tree’s December specials are here! There’s something magical about sipping holiday drinks when the air turns crisp and the lights start to twinkle, and The Fig Tree’s 3 winter drinks capture that feeling perfectly.
The Gingerbread Latte is made with fragrant gingerbread, warm spices, a hint of vanilla, and a dusting of cinnamon—tastes like the essence of Christmas combined into a cup. Matcha brings an unexpected twist in the form of The Grinch, but add peppermint and voila, this green beverage totally makes sense! For those who prefer something sweet and soothing, A Warm Hug is a creamy white hot chocolate infused with cinnamon and vanilla. It wraps you in comfort just like its name suggests!
