I really enjoyed the coffee and food at this new eatery downtown. The decor was nostalgia in a way that I got to see a 90s version of what a traditional Mexican home might look like. The owner happened to be there and was very helpful in our drink selection. We got the horchata latte with foam. We also got chilaquiles which was flavorful but we should have added protein like chorizo. I would love to come back as they just opened up the door upper dining area for night time eating and fun.

Loved my Nube Horchata coffee (basically horchata cold foam and café do olla base)! Service was quick on Saturday morning heading to the farmers market. They offered seating options for both indoor and outdoor. Would love to come to check out their food options.

Best chilaquiles I've had in a long time!! I got the green sauce, and let me tell you...the ratio of asada, eggs, and chips/sauce was perfect. They also serve it with a piece of bread, which was a nice little bonus because who doesn't love extra carbs? My boyfriend got the red sauce version, and it was also so tasty! We came for lunch, and it wasn't too crowded, so we found a table right away. You order first and then grab a table, so the whole process was super quick and easy. I also ordered the hot horchata latte and I would honestly come back just for that! It wasn't overly sweet and had the perfect amount of cinnamon. The ambiance is super homey, literally feels like you're eating at your abuela's house, which is fitting because the restaurant is actually inside a house. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

We love to try chilaquiles from diffente places, these chilaquiles weren't the best we had tried, but they were very good. The service is good, people are very friendly. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the place is very small and you have to wait for availability of tables. The other point is that we had to wait little bit more than 45 minutes to get our food. We noticed that people that ordered after us got their food before us. Food is good we really recommend this places if you want to Try authentic Mexican food.

Great food, fresh and authentic. I loved breakfast tacos. lol We went during a Friday morning so it was easier to find parking and there wasn't a line. It's very cute and cozy. Has indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating has a nice waterfall to listen to while you eat. The table and theme is very traditional. We ordered breakfast tacos abs chilaquiles along with cafe de la Olla. It was perfect. Not too sweet. Didn't add anything to it.

Horchata Hot chocolate

This place is a hidden gem. Small but cozy. The hot chocolate horchata was amazing and the green chilaquiles was pretty good. I'm going to have to give the red one a try next time. Not too big of a fan of the pastry though. It was a bit dry. I think if I had any of that hot chocolate horchata then it may have been ok. The service was pretty good. Just took a minute for the tables to her cleared. Will def come here again.

This definitely felt like I was taking a step into my abuelita's kitchen. Hearty plates. Chile-forward sauces. Fresh pan mexicano. Chocolate de la abuelita that tastes like nostalgia in a cup. What we ordered Drinks * Licuado de plátano * Café de olla * Chocolate de la abuelita Mains * Salsa-glazed chilaquiles with runny eggs * Pork tamal in red chile * Mollete with chorizo & soft egg * Huevos a la mexicana Dessert * Fresh pan mexicano Traditional, nostalgic, intentional. Every bite tastes like it was made with abuelita-level care. The service was great, they were so nice and recommended the right balance spicy/not spicy. Also on the weekend they serve menudo!

Really loved this spot. The location is nostalgic and beautifully decorated, it truly feels like you're stepping into your abuelita's house in Mexico. Such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They offer Café de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. It is on the sweeter side and pre-made, but still very delicious. I stopped by for a cafecito mid-afternoon and there was plenty of seating with fast service, especially for a Sunday, which was nice. They do offer breakfast items, though I didn't get a chance to try them this time, definitely something to come back for. One thing to note is that the restrooms are shared/connected through the alley with nearby establishments. It would be nice to have an additional restroom, especially during busy times. Overall, I definitely recommend this location. Great spot to grab coffee and then take a walk around the neighborhood afterward.

Cozy, warm, feels like mg abuelas home. I am sooo happy when we went here. My best friends from the bay visited Sac and we all wanted to try Abuelas!! The coffee and the menudo is thhhhe best menudo. We got the pot to share and it just feels like a warm hug. So here is the set up: you order first, order everything you want because they do run out!! Pick a table and enjoy. I will be back for sure!! Weeeeee love it so much.

This was unfortunately a huge letdown for me. I was super excited to try out some Mexican pastries and hot chocolate for the first time. When I came in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me a complimentary coffee and concha. I didn't drink the coffee because it usually makes me jittery, but the concha was a bit lackluster. It was subtle in flavor, but I mostly tasted the powdered sugar (or whatever it was) on the outside. It was also a little dry. I bought one of the pan dulces (ojo de pancha) and a hot chocolate. The pancha was hard as a rock and lacked flavor. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate either. It was less of a chocolate taste and more of the spices they had in it. I was really disappointed with this visit. I had high hopes. I might come back and try their meals, but I'm not sure.

If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere to take you away from the sterile coffee shops and otherwise greatness of life, this place is it. The horchata latte was amazing. Food is great too. Highly recommend!

Adorable little spot that o stopped by to grab a coffee. I got the nube d horchata and it was really good. It tasted like actual horchata which when horchata is made into any type of coffee drink can be very hit or miss so I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is adorable and while I didn't have any food this time, I would definitely be back to try.

We stopped in looking for coffee and ordered a cold horchata latte and a hot specialty drink (forgot the name). Unfortunately, neither was what we expected -- the "latte" seemed more like pre- brewed coffee with sweet flavoring instead of a true espresso-based drink. The hot one was overly sweet and we couldn't get through even a third of it. That said, the breakfast dishes coming out of the kitchen looked great, so we need to come back and give the food a try next time. They have cute indoor seating and nice outdoor patio as well. We will come by again and hope to update this review with more stars ! Great to see new fun cafes opening in Sacramento. Friendly service , street parking only .

Unlucky for me they didn't have dry ice for the effect I wanted to see of smoke from the trunk. They had more designs of figures for the smoke effect. I bought 4 to try it at home. I asked where to get dry ice and the lady had said I could get it at any grocery store. I looked up online before and it said the same thing but Safeway didn't have it when I tried looking for dry ice the next day. So I'm still on a mission to find dry ice to experience the smoke effect. The lady here said I could come back the next day to see it and I tried to but unfortunately I didn't have time the next day to stop by. She let her employees know but sadly I didn't make it back. They have dry ice usually on the weekends now since summer is over when they had more customers wanting to get these but now during slower days they opt to have dry ice on the busier days. I do want to try their Ube drinks so there will be a next time. I got an iced white chocolate to be simple. Delicious. The service and drinks is definitely a reason I will come back.

It's been a long time since we last been to 18 grams. It wasn't that busy then so it was nice to see them doing well. The staff were cool, definitely working hard to keep up with the business. There was a lot of seating both inside and out. We ordered on the kiosk but you can also order from the cashier. We didn't realize how much food items they now offered. There's different Filipino/Hawaiian dishes like a katsu, loco moco, and longanisa. They had baked goodies like ube muffins and pandan cookies. For drinks they were plenty of coffees, lattes, and teas. It was pretty busy so it took a while for our food to come out. It wasn't the best we had, but all the food was enough to satisfy our cravings. It was definitely a modern take on things that was enjoyable.

Any time we visit Sac, it is one of our go-to spots! They do an excellent job of sourcing their coffee beans along with roasting them. They've gotten exceptionally good at standardizing their drinks across the board as well. We have also tried many of their drinks outside of what we ordered today, including the 1987, 18 to the Brain, Thai Coffee, and Mexican Mocha. They have a food menu as well, which ranges from rice bowls to breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place to go to meet with friends, studying, or working on a project. They also have a good amount of seating inside, but it does fill up quickly! They do have WiFi (and outlets) and one single bathroom. Given we have been coming here for years, it is a must whenever you're in the Arden area!

Currently it's more of a driver stand flavored chai rather than a traditional chai served Pakistani style. Overall, there's a lot to enjoy at Qisa, and I'm excited to see what they bring to their new Natomas location. I'll definitely be back for that cheesy pastry!

I couldn't tell if I was walking into a pop up art gallery or a coffee shop at first. The cafe was extremely inviting and offers modern decor and a clean open concept bathroom, as well as rotating display cars and spacious seating! Everything sounded so good that we wanted to try them all but limited to: - Shaken Pho Americano (5/5, it was light and mellow) - Ca Phe Sua Da (5/5, mild taste for Vietnamese coffee lovers but can ask for less condensed milk if you want a more sharp taste) - Coconut Matcha Cloud (6/5 for coconut lovers like me, it was so balanced and the matcha foam definitely complemented the drink!) Candyleaf Cascara Tea (4/5, the sweetness was definitely a surprise and almost tasted like a sweetened Chai tea.

I'll be sure to come back to try their holiday/Christmas drinks :) I had asked what beans brewed best for Vietnamese coffee, to which I was recommended the Canephora blend. I couldn't resist how cute and simplistic the packaging was and purchased a bag! Names were being called out loudly and clearly, and workers were welcoming and nice.

I just wish it had a little more crunch to give it that extra texture. The matcha latte was also pretty mid--not bad, but nothing special. What I really loved was the ambiance. The space is spacious, trendy, and has a great vibe. Overall, it's a lovely place to hang out, but the drinks could use a little improvement.

The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.
