There’s plenty more in the pages that follow, including “8 Ways to Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk” on page 38, a roundup of local ways to celebrate Halloween on page 20, and an easy-to-follow itinerary for “A Perfect Day in Apple Hill” on page 19.

Lucille’s Coffee Hops & Vine // Much to the glee of coffee connoisseurs, <strong>Folsom</strong>’s<br />
been hit with a new caffeine getaway. Similar to European cafés, Lucille’s not only specializes in the thirdwave<br />
movement of artisanal coffee but also serves up local beers <strong>and</strong> fine wines with a full breakfast <strong>and</strong><br />
lunch menu. Needing some sustenance, I headed over to meet a friend (who has already become a regular).<br />
Filled with plush chairs, the aromas of freshly ground coffee, <strong>and</strong> indie rock pumping through the speakers,<br />
I instantly discovered why people come in to grab a quick coffee <strong>and</strong> end up staying for hours. Sensing my<br />
indecisiveness as I looked over the vast menu, my friend recommended the Turkey & Provolone S<strong>and</strong>wich with<br />
a side of their scratch-made Macaroni Salad. Toasted on a flaky croissant bun <strong>and</strong> stuffed with thinly sliced<br />
turkey, provolone cheese, fresh tomatoes, <strong>and</strong> lettuce—with a slathering of roasted red pepper aioli—this was<br />
a classic sub with a mouthwatering twist. Paired alongside a pint of Boochcraft’s Grapefruit Hibiscus Heather,<br />
a kombucha/ale hybrid that exploded with the refreshing taste of grapefruit, I was more than content with<br />
my picks <strong>and</strong> have since followed in my friend’s footsteps <strong>and</strong> become a Lucille’s regular too. 25055 Blue<br />
Ravine Road, Suite 100, <strong>Folsom</strong>, 916-294-7472, lucillescoffeehopsvine.com.<br />
