Insight Coffee Roasters, near downtown Sacramento, is set to close after more than a decade of service.

In a Friday morning Facebook post, the Southside Park neighborhood coffee shop said it will close its doors within the next couple of weeks.

“This has been our home base to roast and serve coffee since our inception in 2011 and we have taken great pride to serve such a welcoming community,” the shop wrote on its Facebook page. “Coffee will be flowing strong for next few weeks so we hope to see you again before we go. More to come in the days ahead.”

Insight could not immediately be reached to comment on this closure.

Comments on the roaster’s Facebook post bemoaned the loss of a neighborhood staple, recounting fond memories at what one patron called the “best place in Sacramento.”

Insight Coffee Roasters, located at 1901 Eighth Street, not only serves coffee and baked goods, but grinders, whole roasted seeds, brewers and more.
