What a beautiful well kept secret! I never knew this coffee shop was here in all the years I lived downtown before. I wanted to try a new coffee shop today and am on the way to my son's grave. The pastries look like they are made with love! I seen several options such as spiced vanilla latte and wanted a vanilla latte no spice which was no problem when I placed my order. Do you love strong coffee?? This coffee is fresh and will put together so delicious and strong, but not overpowering strong to where you can't stand it. My husband tasted it first I said how is it? He said I like it and I said oh gosh, it's strong, but I went to take a drink of it and I was surprisingly happy that it wasn't overly strong, but I definitely know this is gonna give me the kick I need today. Prices for two came out till about $17 Please note that you have to let them know to add the tip in if you're using your Apple Pay or card which I did not know and I felt so bad because I like to tip, but they were so sweet about it and gave me no hassle. They were appreciative that I was there and the service was really great read more

Horrible service. I really wanted to support a local business, but the experience was not worth it. The morning barista (younger woman) was extremely rude, unhelpful, and disrespectful to customers. I even called later to speak with a manager, hoping to resolve the issue, but that was just as disappointing. He dismissed my concerns and said he's never seen her act that way--well, of course not, most people don't behave like that in front of their boss. Unfortunately, the coffee (and prices) itself wasn't good enough to make up for the poor service. I won't be returning. read more

Great place to eat, chat, and study. Many outlets for laptops (didn't check wifi availability) and the cafe has spaces during the weekend. Parking can be easily done on the streets. No loud music or sounds. I appreciate how the worker showed us the size of cups. The drink was slightly pricey but I liked the chai. read more

Coffee Works - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

There is a lot to like about Coffee Works from good tasting coffee to fresh baked goods made in house. Staff members are welcoming too. Prices are on the upper end for coffee and treats. I also like the murals on the bathroom walls. So what is the difference between good and great you ask? The little things. One suggestion Coffee Works is for folks who dish out $20 plus dollars for a pound of coffee how about buying us a small cup of coffee. That's it one small gesture of customer loyalty and appreciation goes a long way. Enjoy friends! read more

Coffee Works definitely works for me! I am so impressed with this local, family owned business. It has been operating since 1982 and I am just getting acquainted with all the incredible coffees, pastries and hot food items they offer. I found it on yelp when I was in Sacramento for an appointment. Peeps were saying a lotta great things. I wanted a coffee and something to go with it... so let's go! Parking is always a concern in Sacramento midtown. The Yelp business profile mentioned a few private parking spaces down the alley behind the shop. I found them easily. Nice! I was trying to take it all in as I entered. It was obvious this was not your trendy, hipster coffee hangout. But rather the definite neighborhood, community place to drink good coffee (mine sure was) and have a breakfast nosh, an afternoon scone or anything else from the vast array of delicious looking food items. Impressive! Sooo many choices of everything! I have photos:) It was an off hour morning visit but there were many people enjoying their food and drinks. I settled up on an extra hot, oat milk coffee drink and raisin scone. Of course I had to buy some of those big, good-looking pastries to take home too. Candice, the woman behind the counter, was just the perfect, chill person for this sweet coffee shop. She was patient, friendly and a kind person. A few minutes of interaction with her and you felt so at ease. She seemed to know everyone who stopped in too. And very knowledgeable about all the coffee drinks and pastries. You are definitely appreciated, Candice! Older people, young, even a mother and two kids were comfortably settled at old fashioned tables having a moment. There is even an area where items for kids are available to play with. Entertainment. Wow! A nice patio in the front for warm days. And to bring your favorite pooch. How could you not want to support this local, neighborhood business. Check it out. I am so glad I did. Thanks, Coffee Works! read more

Coffee works is my go to for coffee and a quick bite. They can be busy sometimes, but that is because they are amazing, and even then you can always find a seat. They are a sacramento staple, nice community vibe. Theyve been around since the 80s, and I hope they are around for 100+more years. Food is good, I like their croissant sandwiches and burritos, and their turnovers, AND their muffins. All delicious. Tom, Carissa, Kat, Simone, and the whole team really make my day better. Coffee works is my favorite coffee shop in the whole wide world. read more

I've been coming here for a decade plus. I work a couple blocks away.... Great neighborhood spot but close off the freeway too!

I have been wanting to check out Coffee Works for a while now and I was finally able to walk over today while my daughter attended her Jiu Jitsu class. The inside is homey and inviting and the staff were very welcoming. The inside was decent sized with seating on either side of the coffee shop and it was filled with regulars. I was overwhelmed in a good way with the amount of pastries and breakfast items, but finally decided on the Coffee Cake, Plain Croissant, Herb Egg and Prosciutto Croissant and the Ham and Cheese Croissant. We also ordered the Vanilla Coke Cold Brew (yes, soda) and the Strawberry Peach Iced Tea. The Herb Egg and Prosciutto Croissant was very good! I would definitely order this again next time and the Coffee Cake was nice and moist, but not too sweet. The Vanilla Coke Cold Brew was very interesting and the soda just somehow worked well with the cold brew - I would order this again too! Overall, I think Coffee Works is a great little coffee shop and I love that it's convenient for me to visit on Saturday's now! There are so many other pastries and breakfast items that I want to check out as well as their drinks! I'll be back next weekend! read more

WOW FACTOR? Yes, excellent chocolate chip scone, as good as the ones at Bishop Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland. Fantastic! HAVE AGAIN: Cinnamon roll was pretty good, but not what I'm looking far. read more

The best mochas in town!! A friendly staff that knows your name and exactly how you like your favorite drink.

extremely rude staff. I wish I would have went farther from my son's dr. The staff was terrible. they were such snobs

I came in here a couple of days ago to study since I have a bunch of law school exams coming up and it was amazing energy! I loved the burrito and iced ginger tea so much that I decided to come back today. The blond older lady was super nice and had amazing customer service. I walked in today and automatically given horrible customer service by the younger girl with front bangs. She looked at me like I was crazy when I ordered an iced ginger tea and I told her that a couple of days ago another worker made it for me. She cut me off before I could even finish and said oh well another barrista I guess. I was like ok I get it let's get a hot ginger tea & a cup of ice then. I order and pay. I walk to a table to set up my computer to study and as I'm standing there I can hear the rude worker talking crap saying that I was being rude to her. Besides being unprofessional because you shouldn't be talking about customers where they can hear you, that is also not what happened. I requested a refund because that's unacceptable. I don't recommend this place---Since the customer service depends on what workers are in at that time. read more

Coffee Works has been serving up food and drinks for the last 43 years. They started in 1982 and have gone through some changes, but one thing has remained constant. They've been brewing good coffee to Sacramento's residents all that time. They also offer breakfast burritos, pastries, pizza, and sandwiches. I've spent many a morning fueling up for the day with a hot drink and hearty breakfast. Or an afternoon eating a slice while surfing the web. Their breakfast burritos are filling and reasonable priced at $8.65 including tax. They have good WiFi, clean restrooms, comfortable seats, and some interesting artwork decorating the walls. The service is always good and it has a great vibe. Much different from those cookie cutter corporate coffee shops you see all over Sacramento. Coffee Works is a local spot with a style all its own. read more

Stopped in to grab coffee after a busy day running errands in the area. My drink was outstanding, but my biggest joy came from the almond cookie that they were selling. I've been looking for a delicious almond and crusted cookie and they're offering was perfection. I don't know if that was a seasonal thing or if I can expect to grab more than one the next time I'm in the area I sure hope so. It's a cute shop and seems very popular with locals in the area. There were people working on their laptops or visiting, socially with friends. read more

Coffee is good but definitely don't come here if your a person of color. Felt that tension from the cashiers and barista (2 younger girls) as soon as I walked in but the same girls greeted the white couple behind us so cheerfully. Trying out different coffee shops but definitely won't be coming back to this one. read more

Was out refilling our coffee beans from another coffee spots and grabbed drinks there. But was also in the mood for some breakfast eaeats, so we decided to check out Coffee Works for the first time after. There's always a bit of hesitation going to a new spot, as you don't knknow what to order or what's good, and don'twant to hold up the line. So we told the lady behind the counter who was extremely helpful. She told us about their various pastry and breakfast food options, and that thethey're made fresh each mornikeyand then brought to their shop. Food: Berry Parfaits (x2) Bacon & egg burrito Turkey & Provlone Croissaint Overall: Friendly and helpful staff, and good good. Would definitely check this place out again if in the need of a breakfast bite. And for sure want to come back and check out their coffee. read more

Coffee lovers must check out Coffee Works off of Folsom Blvd! This place has delicious drinks. There's mochas, iced coffees, and also food items that do not disappoint! From pastries to hot food, you cannot go wrong. There's just a lot to try out at Coffee Works. This establishment is clean and you can enjoy the items you buy. There's seating inside and outside. There's a cozy feel when you check this place out that is inviting. There's no parking on Folsom Blvd so I recommend street parking and walking up. This is a great location to bike to as well. The staff who work here and kind, friendly and helpful when it comes to anyone who is indecisive. read more

Coffee Works is in a great spot in East Sac. Its easily accessible and close to the freeway. There is limited parking dedicated to the cafe but there is street parking around. Inside is clean and there are plenty of tables inside and a few on their patio. The service was friendly and super fast. The breakfast burritos were amazing. The tortillas were fresh and everything came out hot. I will say my blueberry muffin and the chocolate muffin were a little dry. Their drip coffee was tasty. The raspberry white chocolate latte was yummy and sweet but not too sweet. The coffee came out super fast. The tables were a little dirty but just with crumbs. They weren't sticky. I would definitely go back to Coffee Works. read more

THE SCONES. I want the chocolate chip scone again. I want it so bad. Someone I was with bought a box of baked goods from Coffee Works and I was just in awe. Everything looked so good, but the scone was calling my name. It had the perfect crispy outer shell with the softest inside. Good scones are hard to come by, especially from coffee shops, but this one stands supreme. I thought it had to come from a bakery, but to hear that it came from a coffee shop was surprising, but so impressive. I will dream of these scones! read more

I popped into coffee works this morning for the first time, and loved the vibe immediately. First off with seeing that they had vegan options for my fiance who is singing. But most importantly comma the staff was so fun sweet and helpful {period} I recently lost my dog and have been super low trying to find the little things in life to make me smile and the girls at this shop really made my morning just detail their kindness and sweet personalities period the coffee was great the people are even better I highly recommend this place period thanks girls for making my day read more

Coffee Works is my go-to spot when I want to switch up my coffee routine. It's where I indulge in my current obsession: a coconut mocha with oat milk paired with their black bottom cream cheese muffin, which is so good it should come with a warning label. Seriously, I think about that muffin way too often (and you will too since it's hard to find elsewhere). The vibe here is always bustling in a lively, inviting way--like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem that the cool crowd already knows about. They offer an impressive variety of food options and more syrup flavors than I knew existed. It's also a decent study spot if you're lucky enough to snag a table before they fill up. That said, the place is better than good but not quite great. It feels a bit rundown in ways that aren't charming; think chipped paint and outdated decor that could use some love to elevate the atmosphere. On rare occasions, I've had to send back my coffee because it tasted burnt, but the staff is always quick to make it right. Speaking of the staff, they're consistently friendly and efficient, even during the busiest rushes. If you're in East Sacramento and haven't been to Coffee Works yet, treat yourself--you deserve it! Just know that while the coffee and food shine, the ambiance could use some polishing to match their offerings. I say this because coffee shops are now on every corner and highly competitive. It would be nice for this place to stay around. read more

To the point: * its fine. * coffee is alright. * prices are consistent with other coffee shops. * baked goods are the highlight. * parking is...interesting. Long Version: I have visited this place a few times. The Baristas are cool, helpful, pleasant. A good many places to sit down (inside/outside). Space is clean, all is fine. Now, for the coffee. I have not been blown away by it...(yet?). Maybe I am getting the wrong thing, and I understand decaf, in many places, is an americano style pour over. So I guess I can't knock them for that. Today it did taste like tea-coffee (not sure if that makes sense). I also tried the herb egg and cheese croissant. Solid 6/10. If I didn't eat it there, I would've doctored it up a bit at home. But it was tasty and hit the spot. All in all, go check em out and show support. The lines come in waves, but service is quick. We parked on the other side of the gas station, less hassle. I will return to try their other baked goods. read more

I'm writing this because I had a really good cup of Balthazars Blend. One of the best cups of coffee from a coffee shop in a long time. The do a great job of roasting beans. They have a coffee card. They sell beans by the pound instead of the 3/4 lb. and without pretense. read more

Great find. It certainly is bigger on the inside that first appears so lots of seating. Enjoy the tables outside in this great weather! 24 oz iced green tea is just right mild for me.

Parking on either side of the building as this is in a moderately busy street. Helpful person to help me with selections today. read more

This is a nice little local coffee shop, it is small but there's plenty of area to sit down. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We tried the iced vanilla latte with whole milk and iced white mocha with oatmilk, they were both good- I think the white mocha definitely could've used more flavor it tasted a bit too much like oatmilk alone. We also tried some of the pastries although I don't remember all of them, the scones they had were freshly baked! read more

Heard great things, but incredibly disappointed. I came in excited to try it, but the three working baristas looked irritated and annoyed that we had walked in. They seemed to talk for a few minutes about who would be serving us, and when one of the girls finally walked over, she seemed annoyed that I was ordering. Drink came out fast, which I appreciated, but there were visible coffee grounds in my drink, and yet it barely tasted like coffee. I ordered a white mocha, but it just tasted like milk and watered-down espresso, no flavor. On top of that, there was barely any ice in the drink, so it was almost warm or room temperature. I considered just throwing it out, but I paid almost $10 for the drink and didn't want to waste it. Disappointed all around and would not come back. read more
