I live in North Natomas and will literally drive all the way to Arden just for this coffee because it's THAT good The 18 to the Brain is hands down one of my favorite coffee drinks in Sacramento -- smooth, strong, and actually wakes me up without tasting overly sweet. Their ube cookies are addicting and the chilaquiles are always a must for me too. You can tell they really put thought into both the drinks and the food here. read more

The avocado toast was really good and crispy. And I love how you guys put the arugula & the sunny side egg and feta on the avocado toast. What a great spin on avocado toast. The Ube French toast was so delicious. Unlike any French toast we've ever had. It was so sweet and I'm a really big fan of Ube. Despite the lines the service was fast. Reasonably really priced for hot and fresh food and drinks. Ambiance was amazing I could spend a few hours for sure. Thanks for the wonderful experience! We'll be back. read more

Finally got around to trying this well-known coffee spot and was pretty impressed with the menu. I ordered the 1987 and really liked the sweet + salty combo. I also couldn't resist the "gluten-free churro mochi" when I saw it on display. I was expecting something chewy with a cinnamon churro flavor and a bit of crunch, but it was kind of a letdown in both taste and texture. Probably wouldn't get the mochi again, but I'd definitely come back to try more drinks. read more

Grateful for my Ohana in Sacramento. They know my love for food but more so small hole in the wall spots. 18 Grams Coffee Roasters no secret to the locals. We were lucky one person left after we ordered cause no place to sit. Main reason came my cousin telling me need to get Hong Kong French Toast. Different and never had before. The biggest difference is French Toast deep fried. So crispy outside but moist and has characteristic of typical French Toast. The thing made it all come together for me. The sauce combine with Ube butter. Honest thought was ice cream. lol. The fresh fruit perfect balance. The portion size if insane. Carb overload. I also got couple cookies. Have display of fresh baked goods. Variety little of everything. Cookies were da bomb. I had matcha drink that was tasty. The drink menu has nice diversity. Just wish had one in Vegas. I be back next visit see Sac Ohana. read more

I love this place. Ive been twice now and both times have been great. The coffee is great and the flavor combos are amazing. The 1987 is my favorite so far as it's still coffee forward with a sweet hazelnut flavor. Also, if you're an ice lover, they have the best nugget ice! read more

Tried here on a monday morning to have some good breakfast and didn't disappoint. I like the place, very nice and cozy feeling, lots of space and very quiet. Love all their breakfast because i can taste the scallions on it which i really like. Their mocha is to die for! One of my favorite mocha coffee i've tried in Sac. The cappuccino comes in a very small cup and kinda expensive for a small portion of coffee. The iced coffee has lots of ice and i drank only maybe 4-5 sips of it so hoping they improve this one. They almost got our orders interchange but overall its good will come back again and try their full brekafast menu. read more

Almost as delicious, but the flavors are still on point. I do notice that the meat was not as fresh and more dense whereas the first time, the meat easily fell apart. I still enjoyed every bite. I would get it again! :) read more

18 Grams Coffee Roasters - Loco Moco again - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was craving an early breakfast prior to heading to an office meeting and saw this establishment was open at 7AM. Strange thing is I've lived in the area for over 5 years and never swung by here until after moving out of the city. I regret not visiting sooner. Doh! Upon arrival I was told they didn't serve breakfast until 8AM. Having a lot of time to kill, I ordered a mocha. They brewed the drink quickly and it was very delicious. Plenty of seating and welcoming decor. As 8AM approached, I ordered their loco moco. I'll admit, it was an interesting take on the loco moco, combining kimchi to add a little spice to it. I personally felt the gravy was a tad bit sweet, not to my liking. But overall the experience and service itself justified a 5 star rating. I really enjoyed their coffee and will be returning back from now on when I make quarterly trips to the office. I'll also give the other menu items a shot as well! read more

My first new restaurant of 2026 and this place didn't disappoint! the vibes and decoration within the place were great, definitely reminiscent of the Bay Area (despite being in Sacramento). We stopped by here for brunch on a Sunday with some friends and was able to find a table with minimal issue. I love that you can either order at the coffee bar for quick service and/or to go orders or just sit and order from a QR code and have the food delivered directly to you. The service was fairly fast, despite it being Sunday brunch time and the food was great. I ordered the steak and fried rice, which was maybe slightly a little too marinated, but clearly flavorful! I even had a little meat left over to take to go. As for the drink, I got the Vietnamese hazelnut, upon the recommendation of my friend. And the drink didn't disappoint! Overall, a great spot! I would definitely come here again and it feels like a great spot to work on your computer for a couple hours and great a nice lunch or coffee. read more

18 Grams Coffee Roasters - Steak and fried rice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

This was my first time coming here for coffee and I was definitely impressed just with my first few steps through the door. It felt super spacious inside while also being very clean and organized. There was a lot of table space and seating that I noticed as well while walking in and people were definitely making use of it. I ordered an Ube Latte; there were a lot of drinks that I was interested in, so I'll definitely be back to try them out! My drink was good; it didn't feel excessively strong and helped me get through my work for the day. It did settle quite a bit on my drive home, so I was getting a bit more of this powdery texture at the bottom even after mixing. I do think it was on me for not drinking it right away, so I'll still give it another shot. I do want to do some work here just because there's a lot of natural lighting and it seems like a good environment to really focus on work. On Mondays, the place does close at 2pm, but on other days it closes at 5pm. Staff is very friendly and there's a vast amount of parking outside. If you get hungry during your time there, you can order from their food menu or just venture outside to the surrounding plaza. It's situated right in between Kura and Bonchon which are two great spots in my opinion! read more

18 Grams Coffee Roasters - Ube Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

When I'm in the Arden area I love stopping here for a quick coffee. There's plenty of parking in the shopping plaza and a lot of stores and other restaurants to spend time at- even a movie theater. The cafe itself is open, bright, and welcoming. I love the mural on the wall and the different seating options allow for all types of groups and experiences- from a quick coffee, to a study session, date, or group outing. The staff is always friendly and I love the variety of drinks and food. Speaking of food, it's delicious! I tend to order their savory menu items and they're always served hot and freshly made. I try to order different drinks to explore the menu, but I always come back to the 1987. It has the perfect sweetness and is a great pick me up for the day. During the warmer months they have outdoor seating and you'll want to check out their social media for specials. They have two sister locations- one in Elk Grove by the same name, and Forever 18 Grams in Midtown. All of them are great options. read more

Years later and this place is still my favorite. I've never had anything bad here. And despite being super busy at all hours, the workers are always very friendly and helpful. They have really stepped it up with their food as well. Their pastries and cookies have always been amazing and their breakfast items are just as good. My favorite is the breakfast sando and the Hong Kong French toast. It's a great place to stop by either before or after you do some shopping in the area. I have so much love for 18 Grams and will definitely continue to support them. read more

I love this coffee shop! Beautifully decorated with trendy designs. Super clean with a decent amount of seating given the smaller space. Lots of parking and shopping nearby, making this the perfect location for a quick and convenient stop or for a sit down meal with lots of food options. The staff were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. I got the Iced Strawberry Matcha with Oatmilk. Super delicious and fresh! Will definitely come back to try everything else this little gem has to offer. read more

I came here to try after seeing good reviews. I was only interested in their vietnamese coffee and it wasn't what I was expecting. There is a hint of burnt after taste and weird sweetness. Its not as strong and a little too sweet for my liking. The store is cute, chill and pretty inviting. Its clean and has Wi-Fi, makes it easy to study or work. read more

Always love the interior design for all 18grams! This location has lots of seating and tables, even extra seating outside as well. I like that you can either order at the kiosk thing by the door if you're not feeling very social, or at the front cash register. I've been randomly craving a BLT lately and I was so happy to see they had it on their menu, so that's what I ordered. It was so delicious and definitely satisfied my cravings. The sourdough bread was a bit too greasy for my liking but overall everything else was great. I loved the aioli sauce that they used. The only thing missing was some fries! read more

I really enjoyed stopping here in my way back from a day in Sac! The graham latte gave me a good caffeine boost though not as sweet as I typically like for this sort of drink -since it wasn't so sweet it paired great with the Gochujang Caramel Cookie! It was absolutely to die for. I would go back just for the cookie! It's buttery, sweet, nutty, and perfect! If you like moist and soft and a little doughy, definitely try. The place is so quaint and trendy with a good vibe. I liked that they gave out cards for their guests with cultural significance as a gift. My only wish would be they add pillows to their seats as they are hard and uncomfortable if staying a while. read more

I was able to visit 18 Grams Coffee Roasters few weeks ago. Glad it was in the same area as Kura so there are plenty of parkings! We ordered through the touch screen kiosk. What I ordered: Honey Lavender Latte: It's lightly sweetened with a some honey and light lavender flavor. To be honest, I didn't really taste the lavender as much but it was still pretty good. This place can get crowded and I love the vibes here. Super comfy and cozy area to lounge. read more

It's a cute cafe with interesting drinks and food choices. Nice spots to sit down and you can order at the counter or on a screen. I got the ube latte and I was excited about it but it was just too milky for my liking. Maybe I should have known since it was made with condensed milk but wasn't able to finish it. Bummer but I'd be willing to try something else there another time. read more

18 Grams Coffee Roasters - Ube latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Super happy with the coffee here. I got a less sweet / half caff Vietnamese iced coffee (and added some cold foam) and it was perfect! Not too sweet, a solid, not too nutty coffee flavor. My friend's ube latte was also well flavored and a perfect mixture of the bitter and sweet. She said she tasted a bit of saltiness, which I didn't get too much of - but worth noting. They had pandan coconut cookies, ube cookies, and chocolate chip cookies. They also had different ube & other flavored muffins (even a gochujang & sesame one!) and I tried the mochi churro one. It was gluten free and perfectly chewy because of the rice flour and a perfect amount of sweetness! I highly recommend this place. A pretty moderate amount of seating in a cute shopping mall area. Clean vibe inside. Employees weren't super friendly but weren't rude at all either. :) read more

Came here for the first time in June and food was so good I couldn't wait to visit sac again to stop here. Came back in August and something was off. The breakfast Sando was good as usual, but the breakfast potatoes were totally different. Before they had some sort of yummy coating - maybe Parmesan and they were fried to perfection. This time they were just regular potatoes, absolutely nothing special. I had a Mexican mocha and my daughter had the matcha and both were just ok. Maybe it was an off day for them. We also got the skillet and it was good. I asked one of the girls if they changed some things and she said "she didn't know"....nice. Well I hope it was an off day and they get back to their normally prepared food because the first time was super good. We shall see... read more

18g is the primary dosage in a double shot of espresso for all my fellow coffee nerds! I got excited just walking in here..local roasting, artisanal baristas, pastries and baked goods made in the back! Cmon now... it was the end of the day, still service with a smile and the cold brew was tasty! (The crushed ice thou! 10/10) - I only got that cold brew- but the pandan cookie was calling my name! I need to go back! Also, would love to try some more drinks for this classy place. Nice space and location. read more

Tried out a new coffee spot here at 18 Grams. Ordered a simple Cold Brew. It was pretty smooth and tasted a little more earthy than other coffee shops. I would have preferred a little less ice with this type of ice, but overall the drink was nice and refreshing. I visited a little after opening and it wasn't as busy as I expected. There's a good amount of seating, ranging from standard height, high chairs/tables, and cushioned chairs in the middle of the shop. The table I chose was a little dirty with crumbs and wrappers from previous customers I assume but it wasn't an issue as it was easily cleaned up and thrown away before I actually sat down. I'd definitely come back here if I'm ever in the Arden Area. read more

Super cute coffee shop/cafe. I've been here with a friend for a quick coffee and snack a few times. I got the dirty chai with oatmilk and a chocolate almond muffin, both were very good. The dirty chai had great flavor without being too milky, and the muffin with fluffy and not dry. The next time I came I got another dirty chai since it was good last time and their lox bagel. Really liked the lox, tasted fresh and felt buttery. I would've preferred if it was open faced but was still good. This place is super cute on the inside with lots of seating inside and out. The artwork on the wall is pretty, lots of natural light, and it seemed like a place a lot of people like to study or work at. The times I've come it's been really busy but we were served quickly. I'd come back to try some of the dishes from their menu. read more

I ordered the 1987 and it was a great iced coffee drink. They have a nice mix of hot beverages, iced choices and matcha as well. Their speciality menu drink items seem very interesting as well. The 1987 was super good, not too sweet. Nice cafe to do some work in, lots of outlets, and good ambiance. Someone was also cleaning the tables around the clock, so nicely taken care of space. read more

18 Grams is one of my go-to coffee shops whenever I'm in the area. Drinks are consistently good every visit whether I'm in the mood for a hot cozy drink or a refreshing iced espresso! My favorites are 18 to the Brain or The Graham. There's a small selection of baked goods along with a good selection of brunch/lunch items, which I haven't gotten a chance to enjoy yet since I'm usually rushing out to go. Located in the Howe Bout Arden Plaza, it's easy to stop by for grab and go, or stay a while! read more

Very very packed for a brunch place. They have restrooms and a lot of seating options available. The staff were very nice and the food came out a lot faster than expected. The music is often very loud for conversation or studying, I suggest having AirPods ready to study with. The food portion is very filling. My friend ordered the to katsu plate and it was a little bland without the small sauce to dip in. The meat texture she described was too crispy and hard. I ordered the locomoco and the gravy and kimchi was amazing. It is on the sweeter end, but I took it home as leftover lunch. The drinks were also very rich, the matcha on the darker end and the horchata on the sweeter end. read more

Customer service is trash. Bunch of air heads talking and not paying attention to customers. Leaving dirty plates on counter, not helping out kitchen staff. Asked for light iced, same person that took my order dumps a cup full. Obviously distracted with conversation. Ordered a muffin warmed up but never got it. Waited a couple minutes before reminding them and a girl says oh I thought the other girl gave it to you. Proceeds to hand me muffin not warmed up. read more

I always enjoy 18 grams coffee roasters! This is a big location located on Arden next to the Nordstrom rack in a strip mall with a bunch of other stores.

I really would love to give this place a 5 star, based on my first experience, but came back a few days later and food was not at all the same. I ordered the Hot Karaage sandwich and came back again for it -received fried chicken, scrambled egg on white bread, no sauce or other toppings. If I didn't drive all the way home in the rain before opening I would have asked to fix. Giving 3 Stars, food isn't consistent each time. Won't be back for a while, $18 dollars is a high price for a breakfast sandwich when you're not getting consistent quality. read more

First impression: "oooh their AC is good" definitely need a jacket! Place is definitely a popular work and gather space for the locals. Natural light, high ceilings, and modern vibe make it a pleasant place to hang out. I'm filipino and had to try their ube latte and a pandan muffin to start. Props for the chunky ube but the flavor was off and lacking. The pandan muffin's texture and taste was so disappointing. I saw that others ordered lunch plates and thought I'd try their waffle fries. Glad I didn't give up- waffle fries and the 2 dip options were delish! Service was meh - I shared my excitement with cashier about their filipino pasty options and she looked at me with a straight face and didn't respond, other than "what can I get you?" I guess she wasn't excited about their options. read more

Love coming here. Drinks are delicious, panda cookies are worth every penny, and it's cozy inside. They were super busy today, but still got my order in a decent amount of time. Added oat milk to my cold brew and that was a good idea! I got the caramel sea salt cold brew with cold foam on top. Next time I will ask for a bit more sweetener as it was pretty bitter, but still good. AND it didn't hurt my stomach, which some cold brews and iced coffees tend to do. read more

This place is 10/10 reccomend! So glad to have found them on Yelp! We are staying in Sacramento for Breakaway and was looking for a place that has both coffee option and food. We decided to go here bec of their menu. This place is one of the order food and then find a table which sometimes is preferred for us. There were a few folks in line when we got there but the person on the register was quick and friendly. We got the ube latte, lavender latte, loco moco, sausage sandwich and a few pastries. Everything we ordered is delicious and tasty!! The gravy for the loco moco was so good. The patty was delicious. The ube latte tasted authentic and def one of the best ones I've tried so far. If you're in Sacramento - this places is a must visit! The playlist is popping too! read more

This is my must-visit spot whenever I'm in Sacramento! I came early in the morning and was pleasantly surprised that non-breakfast items were available too. The loco moco, longanisa burger, and sisig plate are absolute must-tries--so flavorful and satisfying. And to top it all off, you CANNOT skip the pandan cookie--seriously, just get it! Also, their 1987 drink is hands down the best--such a great twist on Vietnamese coffee! Already counting down until my next visit. read more

Absolutely amazing ! Love this place and I highly recommend coming here, we ordered the Hong Kong French Toast with Ube and that is the best ube French toast I've had here in Sacramento ! Love all the toppings and filling inside the toast just makes it that much more special. Also ordered the sisig burger which was also very tasty and delicious. Ordered the strawberry Matcha and Vietnamese coffee, both great drinks and not too sweet if you're looking for something along the lines of that. This place is getting a 5 star just because of the ube French toast, absolutely loved it and will be going back again. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and can get busy at certain times, it's pretty clean inside for the most part. All staff members are very nice and polite, they seem to get everything out quick too. read more
