While my girl and I were doing our Wormie World scavenger hunt, we noticed that Anchor & Tree Coffee was also on our coffee crawl list. We figured, why not kill two birds with one stone? Hopefully find a Wormie and enjoy some good coffee! Sadly, we didn't find any Wormies, but we did find some good coffee! We ordered the Apple Hill Latte and the Cinnamon Vanilla Mocha. Both drinks were good, although I will say the flavors didn't really stand out as much as we expected. I was hoping to taste more of those apple, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors, but they were pretty subtle. The customer service was great! My girl and I were having a hard time deciding what to order, and the cashier was nice enough to come over and help us make our selections. I always appreciate friendly and helpful customer service, especially when visiting a coffee shop for the first time. One thing I really enjoyed was the atmosphere. The place had a nice, relaxing vibe. We were able to sit down, enjoy our coffees, and color in our Wormie books. It was a fun little coffee date and a nice break from our scavenger hunt. Overall, Anchor & Tree Coffee was a great stop on our coffee crawl. Even though we didn't find any Wormies and the coffee flavors could have been a little stronger, we still enjoyed our visit. My girl and I will definitely be back!! read more

This shop is truly one of the cuter coffee shops in Sacramento. They are located on 16th Street in midtown-all street parking, so can get a little tricky. Inside they have the cutest interior design and very welcoming tables and chairs and benches. Perfect place to get some work done or maybe just hang out and relax, which is what I did when I went by this shop. The employees here all greeted me when I went to the shop, including the ultra-friendly owner. I really enjoyed both their coffee offerings and their pastry offerings. Their coffee tasted familiar to me and when I expressed that to the owner, he mentioned that was most likely due to the fact that they provide their coffee to many restaurants in the Sacramento area. One of this coffee shop's biggest business endeavors is that fact that they roast and sell their coffee beans in bulk. They have a pretty awesome looking coffee roasting machine located near the rear of the shop. I was lucky enough to get shown a demonstration of how it worked by one of the employees when I visited the shop. Overall I really enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend anyone looking to try an awesome coffee shop in Sacramento to give this shop a shot. They are genuinely great people that deserve our support. read more

Mr man and I came here for the wormie hunt and our coffee crawl and boy were we not expecting the crowd this morning. Thankfully we circled back later in the day and were able to score our stamps and enjoy a cup of coffee while relaxing before the next hunt for worms. The service and coffee were great. Parking was a bit of a mad dash but it is what it is for downtown. Love their compostable cups. Will definitely return read more

Anchor and Tree has to be one of the best cafes in town. I've been there a number of times now and each time I've had very friendly service with excellent coffee and food. The espresso that Anchor and Tree features is on the lighter side, which is a bit rare for Sacramento. Usually places feature a medium roast, but Anchor and Tree proudly serves a lighter roast. I found the espresso to be less bitter with a fruitier taste to it. If you'd like a more exotic drink, Anchor and Tree also has drinks that are very creative and fun. One of the drinks I had was a tropical inspired coffee that really blew my mind. In any case, the drinks are smooth and very easy on the palette. I found the baked goods to be very good, and a step above the average cafe's offerings. I'm not sure where they source these baked goods, but they are excellent. I particularly like the lemon muffin... oh it's sooooo gooood! If you're a state worker you get 10% off, which I think is super cool of them to do! read more

Such a cute coffee shop in a great location. I love all the local artistry goods they sell in the shop as well. The staff were super friendly upon arrival and very helpful with all my questions. They have some really unique and funky coffees. I got the BIKINI BOTTOM LATTE - Pineapple Co-Fermentation espresso, vanilla syrup, cinnamon, milk, whiskey cold foam I've never had a latte like this before and it was so delicious and I can't wait to go back and visit and try their other drinks. They also pastries and bagels that looked tasty. It's a great space and parking was easy. read more

I LOVE this place! My husband and I brought our 10 year old daughter in with us to check it out and we got so much more than we expected! The owner, Donovan (sp?), is so personable and just overflowing with kindness & vivacity! I'm honestly so basic when it comes to coffee. I really don't like anything too sweet (like SOME nasty big-chain places we all know *cough* Starbucks *cough*). I really just get iced vanilla lattes wherever I go. That being said, Donovan recommended the Bikini Bottom latte, which I already had my eye on, so I chose that! My daughter ordered a strawberry lemonade, and I also got a lemon blueberry muffin and a chocolate chip cookie. Listen.... Everything we got was AMAHZING No exaggeration. The strawberry lemonade was OUT OF THIS WORLD! So fresh and delicious, and in this nasty summer heat it was just what she needed! My coffee was honestly weirdly indescribable. I loved it so much! It was very unique and absolutely fantastic! My hubby is not a coffee drinker and even he tried to snag a second swig but I had already finished it! Obviously the muffin and cookie were horrible! JUST KIDDING! They were mouth-wateringly delicious, duh! The muffin was so sponge-y and moist (get over the word hahaha, it's the best way to describe it ), and bursting with flavor! Unfortunately, I didn't get to try the cookie because my older daughter devoured it when we got home. But she assured me it was "goated". If you haven't been here yet, PLEASE check it out! They support the LGBTQ+ community and they are a genuinely fantastic company that's doing their part to lower their carbon footprint with organic products and eco-friendly practices. And their products are cheaper than big chain companies and BETTER!!! read more

I went here for a Yelp event and ended up buying a blackberry cinnamon scone to complement my iced coffee. The scone wasn't my favorite at first and was served room temp but it tasted better after a few bites and paired nicely with the coffee. The shop has a cute vibe and I loved the variety of seating plus the secure lockers for those picking up orders. The staff was friendly and it looks like deliver to your table when they have time, and when it gets busier, you pick up your order from the counter. I like the aesthetic at the shop and especially love this stretch of J St. and would come here again if friends wanted to meet up here. read more

Anchor and Tree has been one of my go-to coffee shops when I need a pick-me-up or a place to get a bit of remote work done. The space is welcoming and cozy and they have a variety of seating including a couch, window seats, small tables, and a larger table. The staff here is always friendly, and you'll often run into the owner, Donovan, you can tell he has a lot of regulars because everyone is excited to say "hi" and strike up a conversation with Donovan. Even when Donovan isn't there the team is always so friendly. They have a really cool variety of coffee available including special fermentation flavors that are available in drinks as well as beans for sale. All of them have such fun, unique and delicious flavors. You'll definitely want to explore the menu and this is a rare spot where I order something different each time I visit, instead of settling into a regular order. They also have art on display that's for sale as well as other items for sale from local businesses as well as to help with all your coffee consumption needs. I love browsing the options for sale and I usually pick up a new bag of coffee beans each time I visit. On top of having delicious coffee, supporting other local businesses, and providing a comfortable and welcoming environment, they also are eco-friendly and utilize an emissions free, electric roasting process and they use special take-out cups that are also more eco friendly. I really appreciate the thought and work that has gone into the Anchor and Tree experience, and all the small details really add up to an experience that keeps me coming back. read more

What a lovely coffee shop! I envision being back to enjoy the atmosphere and read a book or do some work on the computer. The baristas were friendly and informative in helping us make our menu selections. The bikini bottom latte is one I will be back for and my daughter enjoyed her apricot pour over. The carrot pecan muffin is addictive and we both raved about it, the ham and Swiss was a close second with its buttery flakiness. read more

I'm so glad I got to try a cool LGBTQ+ eco-friendly coffee shop that was quite popular for a Thursday! My friends and I came to try this place that was on our coffee crawl and we came on a Thursday when they are open latest. They had an open mic night for singers and musicians to showcase their songs and I thought that was so cool. The worker was very nice and I ordered the lychee tea lemonade. My drink was very delicious, refreshing, and perfect for a summer day. The drink came in a recyclable and compostable drink container that I had never seen before but appreciated them using. They also have various deals and discounts on a sign outside. Would definitely come back! read more

Friendly staff, lots of different drink options, nice vibes inside. Feels calm and serene to be sitting in here sipping on a Matcha Peach tea.

Definitely stop in if you are on 16th st visiting Downtown or the Capitol. It is such a vibe here! read more

One of my all time favorite coffee shops. So many unique roasts and the pour overs here are just something else. I was in town for work and had to come back to keep trying more. These aren't your average roasts. They put the beans through different processes like co-fermentation and the flavors are really unlike anything you'd get at a normal coffee shop. If you're from the South Bay and like the pour overs at Moonwake, this will be right up your alley. I tried the Apricot Jam Co-Fermentation, Picnic Day Co-Fermentation, and Orange Bourbon and they were all so distinct. The Orange Bourbon one was almost buttery and the other two were perfect as well. Service was exceptional and everyone was so friendly. The vibes inside were nice too. I love the coffee cups they use, the spout is so nice to drink from. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're tired of your normal pour overs. The coffee is totally worth 8+ a cup and I'll 100% be back next time I'm in town! read more

Best coffee in Sacramento! The way this place instantly makes you feel like part of the community has made it a weekly must for us! Great drink menu and relaxed vibes with elevated coffee. Bonus: they have lots of fun pops up and events to check out, like local vendors and open mic night. read more

Cute coffee shop that I came and visited with my mom and friend on a nice Saturday morning. Conveniently located right off of 16th and easy enough to find parking. It's so cute inside with comfy seats and lots of plants and a few good photo ops as well. I got the iced chai latte and I give it a 3.5/5 My friend got the Matcha and gave it a 5/5 My mom got the bikini bottom and gave it a 4/5 The service was exceptional. My mom was asking for suggestions and the guy was very friendly and gave good recommendations. They also have a few milk alternative options, which is great because my mom is allergic to cow milk. read more

For the most part, this spot is absolutely awesome to grab a quick bite or coffee. There's plenty of sitting to do your work and that just enough Wi-Fi to go around for anyone who's a busy bee in the morning. My friend tried their croissants, which she thought were very tasty. I tried their ham and cheese croissant, and I just wasn't a fan of the ham taste it had, but overall their coffee is pretty good. They also have these biodegradable cups that they use which is so awesome, and I wished to have more places to did this. They only had one employee working there, but they were very quick to attend everyone. read more

This place was one of my favorites on a tour of about a dozen cafes in the Sacramento area recently. As others have mentioned, they roast their own here, and very importantly to me, can do any of them on hand as espresso. My personal bar of awesomeness for coffee places usually starts with "What espresso options do you have?" Recently, I've had some blank stares when I ask that, and even one that said "Well, we can do Americano, latte...". The answer I'm looking for is "We have [these two, or three or more] options, depending on what you like", then launching into country of origin or processing. Anchor and Tree definitely passes this "test". On my visit, I had a shop roasted Ethiopian that had bright acidity (almost too much), but was very pleasant, selected after a nice chat with the barista. We also talked about the two Bellwether roasters they had right there on the cafe floor, and geeked out a bit over their Bentwood grinder. The decor in the cafe is really cool as well, featuring a number of coffee-related art pieces for sale, and just, overall, a really cool vibe. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Anchor and tree is a hidden gem among coffee places in Sacramento. Most people stop by the heavier hitters (that I also quite enjoy) but I can't recommend coming here enough! First off they do a unique roast using an electric roaster vs traditional gas roasters. This proccess still produces delicious beans but is more carbon efficient. Not only is it delicious but it's better for the planet! The staff is all amazingly friendly and helpful. We did a coffee roasting class and it was so enjoyable and worth it If you can do it! If you're more the type to make coffee at home I also recommend grabbing their beans! It's my go to bean for espresso! If you see this coffee place while downtown you have to drop in. You won't regret it! read more

Reasonable prices for great coffee. The wait isn't usually too bad. State workers get a 10 percent discount which helps those who want to splurge on a coffee once in a while. Even though they have a few tables and seats available, it's more of an order to go spot. read more

There is nothing better than a down to earth coffee gathering place with great customer service that are salt of the earth people.

Ah, I can remember the smell when I stepped through the door. The smell of roasted beans being churned away in the back was an unforgettable moment. The machines that were grinding or roasting the beans were so high-tech looking and you can especially see beans bouncing around like a washing machine lol. It was an experience to see this in person for sure. Anyhow, besides that, I grabbed a pumpkin spiced matcha latte from their fall menu. Beeeest matcha I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, slightly pumpkiny, and amazing! The matcha wasn't very pronounced, but the other flavors complemented the matcha very well. 10/10. I still dream about it every night. Their to-go cups aren't very desirable because they're compostable and kind of fragile. If you get a hot drink, it kind of starts disintegrating and can't keep its composure too well. So I'd highly recommend getting the drinks inside to drink and experience some live action coffee bean roasting and grinding! Super friendly staff, and it was quite spacious inside. They also have a fancy locker for drinks placed for to-go. I thought that was pretty cool too! read more

Stopped by for a quick snack on a weekend afternoon. The store is very clean and has a lot of cool places to sit. I ordered a peach matcha lemonade, which came out quickly. Workers were super helpful and helped me choose the specifics of my drink (i.e. hojicha vs sweet green matcha). I thought it was super cool how they serve their drinks in paper cups that get folded over to make a hole to drink from. I thought their prices were on the steep side, but nothing too crazy. read more

Popped in here on a rainy day on a whim for something warm. They are a coffee collective, so if you are a coffee nerd this is definitely a place that needs to be on your list. They have a program where you can go in and roast your own beans (amazing)! I love how they support many small businesses (and is LGBTQ owner). This can definitely be a place to get gifts for your coffee connoisseurs. Very cozy place that seems great to catch up with a friend or make some progress on your current read. We got a hot hojicha latte and a cinnamon vanilla mocha. Both were SO DELICIOUS! Definitely of my favorite hojichas I have found. Run here, don't walk! read more

Wow. The intentionality of this place is incredible! First of all, the coffee and food are top notch. Delicious. Secondly, the WORKERS. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful, no Gen Z stare here! You can tell they are passionate about their craft and the ppl. Thirdly, the use of space! Every section is thoughtfully designed, from the plants, the merch, the community flyers and art...and the TECH! They have a touch screen coffee roaster, and a locker mobile pick-up! All without feeling cluttered and/or spartan. Somehow they have achieved a beautiful balance of homey and modern in the same space. Parking is a pain but what place in midtown isn't? read more

Upon discovering Anchor and Tree Coffee Roasters at a Yelp Event, I've been buying all my coffee beans from them because of their low acidity. My favorites at the moment are the Brazil and Peru varieties. The owner and staff are among the best - they're helpful and make great coffee drinks. The menu offerings are always interesting and adventurous. The interior is warm and inviting: lots of space, a roasting machine, a siphon coffee machine, and fun merchandise for sale. Whenever I happen to be at the Saturday Midtown Farmer's Market, I always visit their booth because I get to sample their coffees and learn about the new beans they have to offer. read more

Anchor and Tree is just that place!!! Originally came here for a yelp elite event earlier in 2025! Came back today and Lexi was behind the bar! She was very nice! I got an almond croissant warmed up! To drink I got the snickerdoodle chai latte iced! The croissant was flaky and delicious! The iced chai was so good! It had just that perfect amount of snickerdoodle in it! This is a great coffee shop not only to get drinks and pastries but also coffee beans! The really cool thing about anchor is that they use 100 percent compostable cups! I truly believe the owner, Donovan is that guy! He puts his heart into this place and I truly think you can tell! If you are looking for a new place to get coffee, or a treat or just get some work done, please come here! Our local businesses need us! Fun facts- they offer 10% of to state workers, you can roast your own beans here, this place is really green (environment). Can't wait to come back millions more times and try everything! read more

Came here to work for a few hours because it had a nice seating area for casual/solo working and group talking. It is pretty quiet with some light music so you can hear some talking around you but it elevates the "cozy" experience!

Came here to study one day, the ambiance was chill, pretty good music, plenty of seating. Not very many people were studying here this day though. (Tuesday morning) I ordered the double matcha, it came in a fully compostable cup which is nice, but it does give you that paper straw feeling, and gets mushy quite fast! The matcha itself was meidocore, nothing special, honestly. The bathroom was very clean! A little odd to have a picture of a man staring at you, but at least he was handsome? I will say that one thing that was quite off-putting. I came in maybe about 30 minutes after opening and studied for 5-6 hours. Another group came in, and they were here for about an hour, but then a couple of girls came in and were treated with great hospitality- asked if they needed wifi, were told where the outlets were...etc. I wish the treatment was the same for all customers! :/ Overall, I would probably come back to study because of the seating and music alone, but probably will not be getting matcha from here anytime soon. read more
