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

Anchor and Tree Coffee Roasting - Double Matcha - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sacramento, California

Everyone at Anchor and Tree is downright heroic, authentic and heart driven. And the coffee is, in a word, emotional. And the room itself is bitchin too-lots of interesting local art and little nooks and crannies throughout the space to lounge about in-basically I'd rent a space in their if I could, but I'd imagine they would tire of me ;) One could even say that if there were more spaces/places like Anchor and Tree, America itself would tangibly improve. A tip of the metaphorical cap to y'all at Anchor and Tree, color me smitten! read more

My husband and I like to frequent differnt coffee shops in Sacramento on Saturday mornings when we go run errands. We stopped in Anchor this morning -- it was cool as they had a few pop up shops right outside too!! The space was super cool, clean and the owner was actually working the register and talking to everyone -- super nice!! i got a Strawberry shortcake latte and my husband got the lavendar heights...Im glad i got mine in a cup as I dont love the to go cups they use but thats fine - just a preference. This spot is topping my list of coffee shops -- woot!! 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

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

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

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

Attended a baby shower here and it was perfect. The owner Donovan was so nice and accommodating. Helped decorate, made us really yummy drinks and remembered everyone's name (which is impressive in itself). I had never been to a baby shower at a coffee shop, honestly I didn't know that was even a thing but the vibes were perfect. Will definitely be back. Thanks Donovan for making the parents to be's day perfect 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! I love the ambiance and the paintings on the wall from a local artist + sustainability of their products. The overall vibe was very friendly and cozy! I got the vanilla cinnamon mocha which was delicious! I can really taste the cinnamon, which I LOVE and the drink was not too sweet. The front desk offers some bagels and pastries that I did not try, but would want to try the next time I come here. read more

Anchor & Tree Coffee House at 16th and N in Sacramento is truly something special. The coffee is beautifully roasted with a nutty depth and just the right amount of flavor depending on what you order. You can immediately tell they don't rely on excessive sweetness to mask mediocre beans, the quality of the coffee stands on its own. I ordered the hot masala chai with espresso and an iced pistachio latte, and both were outstanding. Balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted, nothing overpowering, just really good coffee done right. What made this stop unforgettable, though, was the service. Lexi was an absolute gem. Her patience, kindness, and genuine customer care were top-notch. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and was warm and conversational while making the drinks, which really shows her skill and confidence. For me, the heart of any coffee shop is service with a smile and Lexi delivered service with heart and soul. I'm so glad I stopped by on my way back to San Diego, and this will absolutely be a must-visit spot every time I'm back in Sacramento. Highly recommend! read more

In my never ending quest to find a good coffee shop near my place of employment, I think I may have finally found one in Anchor and Tree. They roast coffee on site and have some of the friendliest staff I've encountered. I absolutely love the ambiance here. I can definitely see myself chilling here reading a book while sipping on coffee even during the weekends when I don't come during my in office days. They have quite a few tables inside for you to enjoy your coffee as well as a couch near the back of the shop. I love how they got amount of coffee drink varieties to choose from on their menu as well as a small selection of pastries. The chocolate chip cookie is damn good btw! But they don't always have that unfortunately. If you're a state worker, be sure to bring your badge for a 10% discount off your entire bill. read more

As Anchor and Tree Coffee Roasting continues to settle in and grow it's becoming a staple for my coffee needs. It is now all Anchor and Tree Coffee Roasting- including the cafe side that was previously run by Burnside Coffee (they now have their own location on K street) and the menu has been updated to reflect this. I've always found street parking easily in the area and it's a great spot for meetings or to hang out with friends. There's a lot of natural light and plenty of seating. There are tables, benches, window seating, a couch and a really cool wood table. They roast coffee on site and it makes the whole shop smell amazing. They sell bags of their coffee as well as all the options in the cafe. They also have some food and they carry other local products like jams, hot sauce, art and more. The owner and staff here are really friendly as well and are happy to answer any questions. read more

This cafe is cozy and cute! Once I placed an order, I was entering my phone number for the loyalty program. The owner, Donovan, was there and noticed and asked if it was my first time. Upon confirmation, he basically gave me a tour of the place which was so nice and unexpected. He told me a bit about the beans of the mocha I ordered (the mint is infused with the beans during a fermentation process - and not as a syrup) and showed me where I could purchase them whole to take home. I wish I had remembered to bring my crochet supplies so that I could have lingered longer. But it was nice to sit on a soft couch with some caffeine in an actual mug! read more

I came to this gem of a coffee shop for an event with Wounded Warrior Project and was blown away by the level of awesomeness this shop holds! The owner and staff are amazing, fun and lovely people. The coffee roasting and tasting experience was unmatched and I learned more about coffee than I ever thought I could in my 2 hour visit. I highly recommend this shop, I will tell everyone I know about it and I will happily return. Do yourself a favor and go check them out! Also, FYI, they offer a discount to Vets, first responders and state workers! Bonus. read more

Great service right off the bat. Best setup, with an onsite automated coffee bean roasting machine, various beans for grinding, and plenty of seating. We got a hot vanilla latte with Oatmilk. It tasted great. I forgot to take a picture, but the recyclable-ready cup was super nifty and had this "fold to drink" process. Check out the video of the roasting machine. Definitely worth returning for! read more

Anchor and Tree Coffee Roasting - Hot Anchor and Tree Latte while exploring a Sacramento winter. Beautiful day, itn't it, govna'? - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been to Anchor and Tree a few times in the past through events and when Burnside Coffee was here. I think I find myself coming in more frequently than before because of the ambience and the chill vibes. It doesn't feel rushed, packed (or at least when I come) and I feel I can relax to enjoy my morning. They roast in house and love that they are environmentally friendly. Absolutely love all their coffee beans and their latest drink creations. I've had both the iced & hot version of the peach whiskey latte. And I gotta say, I think I like the iced version better. Oat or whole milk is standard which you don't see often because sometimes I feel like I'm being punished for being dairy free (not by choice). Overall great place and I know I'll be back. read more

I've been meaning to try Anchor & Tree ever since I saw they had a storefront! (Before they had a brick and mortar, I had the opportunity to try some of their whole beans from a Yelp event and really enjoyed the coffee.) Like all downtown businesses, I don't love finding parking, but it wasn't too hard to find nearby street parking. The interior is clean & nicely decorated, featuring local art for sale. I came in couple times during their reopening week (January 1-7, 2025). The first time I tried a latte. I also bought some beans as a gift. When I was looking at their menu again later that day, I questioned why I didn't try any of their signature drinks - they sounded so good! So being addicted to coffee, I had to get back ASAP. This time I tried the Dirty Rose Chai Latte and the Passionfruit Honey Americano. (They have oat milk at no-up charge.) Great drinks, but even better service. The service is genuinely welcoming and friendly. They are very good about making what they stand for known (zero-emissions, LGBTQ & locally owned). Definitely a great small business in Sac that I will love continuing to visit to fulfill my coffee needs. read more

I genuinely love coming here--it's one of those spots that feels both special but unpretentious at the same time. Their drink menu rotates based on whatever beans they have in, which makes every visit feel like a little surprise. One day it's a strawberry shortcake latte, another it's a whiskey mocha. I've fully committed at this point--I'm basically a walking endorsement for their beans. They've got your solid, dependable light and dark roasts from different origins like Ethiopia, Honduras, and Brazil but they also lean into the fun stuff--think geshas, fruity co-ferments, and other interesting, more experimental options if you're feeling a little adventurous. And if you buy three bags, you get a discount (I think around $6-8?) plus a free drink, which honestly just encourages behavior I was already planning on. I've had the chance to meet the owner, Donavan, and it's immediately clear this isn't just a business to him. There's a genuine love for coffee here, but more than that, a real intention behind the space. It feels welcoming, thoughtful, and grounded--like a place that actually cares about the people who walk through the door. All in all, it's a Sacramento gem. Warm, a little unexpected, and very easy to keep coming back to. Highly recommend. read more

I am from out of town. San Diego to be exact but I was in the area spending the day in Sacramento. I wanted to find a unique coffee experience that I couldn't find back at home. After some searching I came across Anchor and they did not disappoint. Coffee infused lemonades? Who would have thought? The two Barista's on staff were kind and inviting. They were beyond helpful, allowing me to smell some of the co-fermentations and just giving a great hospitable vibe. When there are two many good options on a menu to choose from I like to ask for recommendations and I was guided to try either the Watermelon Whiskey Smash lemonade or their Strawberry Shortcake Latte. I couldn't decide so I got both. One for here and the other To-Go. Both drinks were so different but equally delicious. Not too sweet and deliciously balanced. I'll be going home and dreaming about the Watermelon Smash because this was the unique coffee drink of my dreams. So surprising and yet taste bud tantalizing and exciting. So glad I swung by to try it out! read more

Great coffee place and I also love its support of other small businesses. Service is fantastic! The barista is friendly and knowledgeable and gave really amazing recommendations. The owners are super nice. One of the co-owners Donavon saw me interested in the place (taking pictures and wandering). So he was super kind to give me a tour and introduce me to a lot of fun elements of the place. I have a cold shaken cappuccino with 100 Grand Bar coffee. It's so smooth and well balanced. For food I got the fig, prosciutto, goat cheese galette. They get pastries from a small baking business and this pastry is sweet, savory, buttery and very delicious. Other than great coffee and great vibes. The co-owners feature 35+ other small businesses. Their products, art, even the tables are for sale too. Truly a place that supports local. The cafe pup is so cute too. Really adds a smile to everyone. I can't want to come back and try more! read more

If I could I would give this place 6 out of 5 stars. I schedule a coffee roasting session with Donovan this past week with a group of friends/family. I had done this session a while back with a private group and was excited to get the experience the full experience. Wow! Donovan made this amazing. Learning about the early history of coffee and the coffee roasting experience was great. Donovan has a way of making it so interesting and fun. Along with this we got to try out the coffee, a few espresso shots and some pastries as part of our experience. Of course, the highlight was basking in Donovan's ability to make this quite fun. It was like talking with a close friend about coffee. Other things to add. Love the location and the space. Anchor and Tree supports many local businesses and small farmers and it was great to see that almost everything in the place can be purchased. The coffee was great and learning about the green process in how it was roasted was even better. All I can say is that if you love your coffee and enjoying fresh beans, check out his coffee roasting class. You will NOT regret it. One last thing, there is parking on 17th street (If I recall correctly) that is free. read more

Anchor & Tree Coffee Roasting Co - Sacramento, CA What a lovely hidden gem in Sacramento! We stopped by for coffee -- our first time here -- and immediately felt the calm and cozy vibe of the place. It's peaceful and welcoming, a perfect spot to pause in the middle of the city buzz. One thing that really caught our attention was the large, unique coffee machine in the back. I'm not sure exactly what it does -- maybe it roasts, cleans, or processes the beans -- but it definitely adds a special charm and gives the place an authentic feel. There are big bags of coffee beans stacked nearby, which makes it feel like you're inside a true roasting house. The coffee itself was delicious, rich and flavorful -- you can really taste the quality. You can sit comfortably at one of the tables or lounge on the cozy sofa. A sweet bonus -- there's a cute little photo zone just to the right when you walk in. Two woven chairs, perfect for couples or friends to snap a pic together. Definitely recommend visiting this cafe -- it's got charm, character, and most importantly -- good coffee. R E C O M M E N D ( ) read more

Great service. I was guided through the menu, then after being so well educated to make an informed choice between so many creative and well-thought out choices... had the barista choose for me. Well, I made him choose two for me. Yes, just for me and both espresso drinks were fantastic. Smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, and subtle flavor combinations that, like any great work of art, makes you think and keeps you thinking. I also had a "fig, prosciutto, & goat cheese galette," a sourdough based kind of pastry. Also completely fantastic. Both the espresso drinks and the pastry are easily the best of their kind I've ever had. Even the cups are well thought out, too--clever. Built in, slightly extended sippy spout means I can get the coffee to hit my old taste buds directly without staining my old teeth along the way, all without sullying the environment, or my style, by using a straw. Keep up the good work! read more

Go here go here go here. I have been to every coffee shop within 2 miles and I keep coming back to Anchor and Tree every single time. It is just better in every way. First, the coffee. I like just a straight espresso and you'd be surprised how hard it is to find a good one. The baristas here know what they are doing though and I never get a bad shot. I'm a fairly new coffee drinker so I don't have the lingo but look, it's just delicious. They roast their own beans in house and I buy a bag each time for at home. Have Donovan describe his roasting process, it's interesting. The customer experience is fantastic. I consider myself to be a high energy, overly positive, extrovert and Donovan matches that energy perfectly. I love coming in and seeing him and sometimes, if he's not there I'll come back later because he's just a super fun nice guy. It's super comfy inside and even though I'm just drinking the tiniest shot I'm never pressured to leave and always encouraged to take my time and relax. They have fun local art and products for sale with new stuff every couple of months. The value is incredible. I have recently been to places that have charged $5 or even $7 for a shot. And the coffee was good, but why pay more when you can come here and pay less for a better product? This is a personal thing, but I also love that his price for an espresso is the same for an americano. I can't believe how many places had .50 or $1 to add water. Again, I keep coming back here for a reason. The coffee is phenomenal and the staff are just fun. Check it out, say Phil with the beard sent you, and support an amazing local roaster. read more

My biggest takeaway from Anchor and Tree is that the people who own and operate the place truly know and love coffee (and what they do). It's evident in every detail and every menu item! We first tasted some of their coffee at a booth at a holiday showcase, and I both loved how much Donovan knows and cares about coffee and roasting. The different varieties were amazing to taste test. I then visited the store and saw it in person. The décor is eclectic and inviting. I opted for one of the pre-made coffee drinks (meaning they suggest a drink instead of me flavoring it myself). I'm glad I trusted the process, because the drink was delicious! If you're in the area, definitely give this shop a try! read more

Looking to shake things up and try a new coffee shop, I made my way downtown to Anchor and Tree coffee. As others have mentioned, parking can be a little bit tricky as it is downtown street parking, but I managed to snag a spot. The space itself is very minimalist and modern. It has a very fun aesthetic and displays a variety of local artists and their work. I decided to try a salted caramel oat milk latte. I really appreciate that they do not charge for oat milk, because some of us cannot control the fact that we are lactose intolerant. While I was there, I also spotted a tasty looking tomato and pesto Galette and decided to give it a try. I love that they serve all of their products in compostable containers, and the coffee cup itself was definitely a unique experience. The latte was delicious and full of flavor without being overly sweet. And the Galette was so savory and satisfying. I will definitely be coming back to Anchor and Tree coffee in the near future. read more

Are you a coffee nerd and enthusiast like me? Well, do I have the place for you. Anchor and Tree (specifically the Burnside cafe kiosk inside) is truly a unique coffee service in Sacramento. The assortment of beans they serve are eclectic, ranging from light to dark roast as well as fermented beans. They use a manual espresso press. When I went in, I tried shots of a light roast (acacia), a medium roast (100 Grand), and a fermented bean (cannot remember the name, but it had elements of peach and peach gose). Honestly, I love the vibe of this place and the espresso shots were extremely well pulled. I think this is an amazing addition to the Sacramento coffee landscape and I'll definitely return. read more
