    Located off of Greenback in a nice area with ample parking spaces. The inside is very interesting to look at with its woody yet artsy interior. We were immediately greeted upon entering and barista was really patient and really sweet. After asking some questions I decided to try a macadamia nut milk latte with sugar free vanilla. Vanilla is the only sugar free option they offer and they do not have coconut milk. The coffee was made quickly and it had a great taste. The sugar free vanilla was nice and the macadamia nut milk was really creamy. The only I have to complain about is the 16oz coffee being $10!!!! I always thought even $7 was a lot but ten! I was absolutely astounded and honestly a little bummed because I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the customer service and the coffee. $10 is just a bit much to incorporate this lovely spot into my weekly routine. They also have a cute little room available to rent by the hour.

    Coven Latte
    Jennifer S.

    Stopped by here with a friend this morning, and, oh my gosh, this was the best coffee drink I've ever had in my life. According to the Autumn Specials menu, the Coven Latte is: "An Autumn Flat White for the more traditionalist. Espresso combined with orange extract, brown sugar, and cardamom. Lightly sweet and comfy vibes." To be quite honest, when I ordered this drink, I had no idea what a flat white was. After Googling it, I'm still a little lost, but, the texture and taste were to die for. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices, and I love citrus, but I don't think I'd ever tried cardamom and citrus together in a coffee drink before. It tasted amazing. The combination of flavors was extraordinary. The serving size was small, especially for $7, but, luckily, the depth of flavor made the experience worth it. The ambiance was super cute, and there were lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. We started off sitting in some yoga swings in the corner, and ended up at the picnic tables outside. This coffee was so amazing, I'm probably going to have to try to replicate it at home! And, of course, I'm sold on Badfish, and can't wait to try more of their drinks!

    A few years later and still just as amazing!!!! There is now outdoor seating and they've expanded with super cute hanging chairs! The baristas were super nice and helpful. The drinks were delicious and the food was yummy! We'll definitely be back soon to try out the fall menu coming soon!

    We were in town for a wedding and decided to stop by here for some coffee! Great little shop with a great ambiance. Lot of character and a chill place to grab some coffee or tea and hang. I tried their loaded coffee because it sounded interesting. Butter, coconut oil and heavy cream? Well turns out it wasn't for me. Too heavy and fatty tasting which is to be expected. Honestly the coffee taste was lost and felt like I was drinking a croissant. I have to blame this on my choice not the drink though. Temperature was perfect, hot but not enough to burn my mouth so I was able to drink right away. Service was great and pricing was on par. If you want to try something different then stop by!

    Relaxing place to have tea and chit chat with friends. Located on a quiet street in Fair Oaks where there are also nice shops and a park across the street (currently under redesign), this is a nice place. Seating inside has a couch and a few tables. Outside has a about six tables. Parking on the street is limited but not an issue as this store has a larger parking lot next to it.

    Went here to get breakfast because it was close to us and menu looked yummy. Sadly it was out of date on yelp, so decided to add new photos. Loved my green goddess shake and the day old scone. Didn't love the brunette, but it was ok, just a bit more healthy tasting than I wanted that day. We will be back!

    Badfish loaded coffee
    Crystal B.

    yum! First timer. I love love love this atmosphere! It's all about the vibe the shop gives and this is my favorite by far. (Next time I go in I'll take pictures) but for real this shop, I could sit in there for a long time. Now about my coffee ...wow so delicious. I ordered the Badfish Loaded Coffee. Which is a cup of freshly brewed coffee with grass fed butter, coconut oil, cinnamon and heavy cream and they stir it or blend it up together. It's the right amounts of everything I wouldn't and did not change anything. The gentlemen who took my order told me back their cold brew system, yeah I'll be back for the cold brew. Thank you for making my day so much better.

    Kid's Hot Chocolate~ My daughter liked it, cute latte art heart, but worried it was too hot despite my reassurance lol!

    My boyfriend, daughter and I have been loving this shop my sister Bri B recommended we check out! Last Sunday was our second visit and I think we found our go-to shop, we are already half way there on our buy 10, get 1 free drink card! Glow Up~ This Super Food Latte taste like a Mexican hot chocolate, probably the best latte I've ever had, the baristas favorite one for a reason! I downed it quickly and the latte art leaf they did was beautiful, I'm so glad she recommended it! Golden Milk~ My boyfriend liked it, including the latte art that looked like a flame or heart depending how you turn it! Kid's Hot Chocolate~ My daughter liked it, including the cute latte art heart, but was worried about it being too hot to drink despite my reassurance lol. Chai Tea Latte~ It's spicy, but loaded with flavor! Iced Honey Latte with Macadamia Milk~ My boyfriend loved everything about it! Jalapeño Cheese Bagel~ I was excited since these are my favorite and they did not disappoint! The bagel was flavorful and their whipped cream cheese was amazing! Cranberry Orange Scone~ My boyfriend absolutely loved it! O.G Fat Bombs~ This was a winner, my daughter loved it! It's made with peanut butter, cold pressed coconut oil, Grade A Maple, Cacao and Dark Chocolate, yum! I would definitely recommend visiting this local family-owned and independently operated coffee shop that's been in business since 2018! They have beautiful paintings available for purchase by local artist Haley York and even sell some cute hats, tops, honey and more if you are looking for the perfect gift, Mother's Day is right around the corner! We will continue to come back, as well as visit other small businesses in the center!

    This area desperately needed a quality coffee shop and Badfish is filling the void quite well. I've come in a few times now, enjoying drinks like the Dandelion Vanilla Latte (off their seasonal Spring menu) and my standard oat milk lattes. They're not their own roaster, but do make their drinks with Sacramento favorite Chocolate Fish, which I find to be reliably good. All of my drinks have been fantastic, the service is always friendly, and they feature interesting artists' works on the walls. I also enjoy the outdoor setup they've constructed through covid with the sun shading and larger tables in front of the coffee shop. I hope this becomes a permanent addition because it's dog-friendly, adds to the relaxed vibe, and makes an otherwise dismal parking lot more appealing. On the food front they've always been out of vegan pastries and muffins each time I've stopped by, so I've only gotten to try the avocado toast on sourdough and it's delicious! Definitely a step above most avocado toasts I've had. I really enjoy grabbing a quality coffee before heading up into the mountains on weekends or running errands in Folsom and would frequent this coffee shop more if they offered a vegan version of their "Commuter" sandwich so I could grab breakfast for the road with a beverage. Because they don't I often end up going elsewhere for both out of convenience. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

    Came in with my beautiful girlfriend and her daughter for a quick breakfast. BadFish is located in a small strip mall off of Greenback Lane in Orangevale, CA. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu which was a big plus for me. I ordered a honey latte with macadamia milk and a scone and my girlfriend got jalapeño cheddar bagel with chai latte and her toddler got a kids hot chocolate with a chocolate/peanut butter fat bomb. Latte: ***** (totally awesomeness) Scone: ***** (hit the spot) Chai Latte: ***** (spicy in a good way) Bagel: ***** (my girlfriend is usually not a fan of cream cheese but she loved this one with the bagel) Hot chocolate: ***** (one of the staff members did a latte art on it, how cool is that?) Fat bomb: ***** (creamy but all so delicious) 25 out of 25 stars or 100%, earning 5 stars review from me. We are definitely coming back to try other things on the menu.

    Vanilla late

    We tried it for the first time and we asked a vanilla late for here and we got it in a glass cup Horrible They do not have any mugs As well the roast is not that great either Do not recommend For $7 a cup not worth it

    Front drink is the Loaded coffee, the sandwich is the badfish veggie club

    Was on here on a Saturday at about 11am, and was quite busy. The inside of the location is fairly large, and had some tables still open for my friends and I to sit at, but the music was way too loud to have a conversation, so we opted to sit out in the front seating area. The person who took my order was friendly and did basic small talk with me, but he didn't ask if I wanted my drink/food to-go or not! He automatically set it to-go, which was kind of a bummer considering I was eating in. I ordered the Badfish Loaded Coffee, which contains grass fed butter, coconut oil, heavy cream, and cinnamon. I used to be keto, and I was feeling some creamy coffee goodness. Under 'Eats' on the menu, I ordered the Badfish Club. The Loaded coffee was extremely underwhelming, and I'm not sure if they really put any heavy cream in at all. The color was quite dark, and drip coffee can be a bit acidic. The club was good, they didn't skimp on the meat, which is always a plus, and the english muffin it came on was a bit bigger than regular store bought ones and was excellent. I drank about a third of the Loaded Coffee and once the cinnamon started being gritty, I went back in and ordered a medium iced Mocha, decided to play it safe this time. The mocha was fine, nothing about it really worth noting. I asked the barista that called out my drink for an ice water, and she was extremely nice about it, and even put it in a large cup for me. Pricing is fair, only item that seemed a bit pricey was the $12 tag for avocado toast, but I just didn't order it. I wanted to like this place, as I love patio dining, but I'm just not fond of the location or the drinks.

Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.
