    Left - Spanish latte  Right - mazapan latte
    Michelle H.

    Located in DOCO, in a very busy and beautiful area. This place is spacious, clean, and beautiful. I really appreciated the cleanliness and vibe in there. However the coffee wasn't my favorite or as enjoyable for me. The Spanish latte wasn't sweet enough and the espresso taste was weak as well. Then, the mazapan latte was too sweet with hardly any espresso flavor.. which is unfortunate because I asked the cashier for their best recommendation prior to ordering and felt like their product knowledge wasn't in tune as I hoped. However, the employees were welcoming and attentive when needed and seemed to be okay with us eating the pastries we brought from a nearby storefront. Honestly if I would return, it'd be to try their juices or other fruit drinks.

    So I woke up on a recent Sunday morning and found myself craving a little something different than my Keurig or Nespresso machines offered so I decided to head down to,in my opinion,the cutest little coffee shop in downtown Sacramento-Con Azucar Cafe. This shop is located at the end of DoCo across from Sauced in the spot that was previously a Starbucks Reserve shop.Parking is available underneath DoCo in the city lot,with validation available from the business tenants of DoCo but with the abundance of street parking available,I just parked on the street. Upon walking in I knew I made the right choice that morning,I know it sounds cliche but that place is a vibe.They were playing solid Latin music,the decor inside was truly thought thru to convey a particular feel-it felt great in there,now I just had to hope the coffee and small bites,matched up to the ambience. This particular morning was pretty busy as there were like about 10 people in line when I got there and only 1 person taking orders plus the tables were at about 90% capacity but it wasn't hard to find a place to sit because the turnover for tables was really fast. We decided to try a few things that visit,I went with a Dulce de Leche latte"Grandote" size ($7.00) and the wife went with a similar sized Mexican Mocha ($7.00).We also decided to get some food,so ended up going with the Bacon,Egg,and Cheese breakfast sandwich($7.50) and also the Torta de Jamon ($15.00). Coffee was made pretty quickly but there was a slight wait for the food but didn't mind it too much as I can tell it was made very fresh as I got to watch the worker make my Torta-very glad it wasn't premade. I really loved my Dulce de Leche latte-gave me caramel macchiato vibes but just different enough,it was really good,I tasted the Mexican Mocha and it tasted exactly like one should taste,it's just not my particular preference,but I blame that on my palette not the craftsmanship,as the wife truly enjoyed it. As for the food I really liked the Bacon breakfast sandwich,was a solid value for what we got,I would for sure order it again if I just wanted a quick small bite.The Torta de Jamon I really really enjoyed,featuring ham with avocado,pickled jalapeños,pepper jack cheese,fresh tomato,queso fresco served on toasted bread-very tasty and fresh tasting-I would for sure order it again. That being said,the true star of the night when it comes to this visit was the place itself,I really enjoyed the ambience,the customers,the decor,I'm really glad this place exists and it's a welcome addition to the downtown Sacramento coffee scene-I look forward to returning.

    I went to Cafe Con Azúcar around noon to study, and honestly it was a really nice experience. The inside is super beautiful and cozy--perfect vibes for studying or getting work done. It was quiet the whole time, and even when more people came in later, it never got loud or distracting. I ordered a white mocha, and it was a little bitter at first since I didn't ask for extra creamers or sweetener (my fault ). I ended up adding a sugar packet and it was good after that. Not a deal breaker at all. The baristas were super nice and patient. I went back up to ask for the Wi-Fi password, and after I couldn't get it to work (lol), they were kind enough to put it in for me. Everyone behind the counter was really welcoming and chill. Overall, great place to study, relax, and enjoy a calm atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

    I coulda swore I left a review for this spot already...but here goes again... Love this cafecito...I went during their soft opening in January 2025 and many more times with my most recent visit being last night (December 2025) and each time the service, the vibe, the product (no matter what I get) - just blows me away. Alan, the owner, is there once in a while too just helping and welcoming people and I love that he stays humble through it all... I have had their abuelita hot chocolate, banana matcha, piña colada, horchata, they even gave my pup a pup cup. Oh and their conchas, pastries, and other food is pretty bomb too! Grilled cheese was super yummy and they even have tamales during this holiday season too and they put the works on it! *Note: They do stop serving food 1 hour before closing though - so keep that in mind if you are looking for a late night snack. I think it is also cool that you can pay $1.50 to make any drink (that has foam) a "selfie-ccino" and send any photo to be "printed" on top of your drink. It is a fun little touch :) Thank you all for always being so kind and welcoming whenever I stop by...ya'll are doing a great job and make me proud to be Latina and I wish you continued success!!!

    Walked in on a rainy Saturday morning and immediately loved the vibe. The place is beautifully decorated and very picture-friendly, with great music playing. There was a line to order, which is always a good sign. I ordered a latte with a cuernito. The cuernitos are very small (tiny but mighty!), but they had great flavor and weren't overly sweet. My husband had a mocha made with Mexican Abuelita chocolate -- you could clearly taste the cinnamon, and it was full of flavor. We also ordered a ham and cheese sandwich, which was excellent. Overall, a lovely spot and definitely worth the visit.

    I love this cafe. You really have to be there to get it. The interior is dope and it's always busy whenever I come by for a coffee date. This is the spot with the giant conchas and the big pot of coffee. Perfect place for all the aunties to go full chismosa on a nice weekend morning. I love their matcha horchata. So good. I come here specifically when I want a warm matcha because so many new matcha spots only serve iced. This is my go to when I want something hot with that little dash of horchata. You really taste both the matcha and the horchata. They also have a fun latte art moment when I ordered the mazapan latte. Super cute reindeer and festive, esp for the holidays!

    Great little breakfast spot! Their coffee was just amazing! Even thought it was made of sweet flavors it was not overpowering. The iced horchata latte was my favorite. We also got a caprese with bacon added. The toast was nice and chubby and had a good amount of avocado, cheese & bacon. Staff was very friendly and even thought they were super busy they got the line going and got our things out relatively quick. Definetly a spot to try if you like mexican inspired coffee.

    What a fun place and a great place to take Selfies. They have swing with a decorated wall behind it set up just for selfies. They have a sign asking customers to not swing on the swing. They also have a ivy wall in the back beside the fake tree that is a fun addition to the space. The ceiling is also decorated with flowers. They have a pretty good selections of drinks and snacks. The torta is not very Mexican or what I'm used to. They don't come with your typical selection of Mexican meats and beans and lettuce and tomatoes. I always think of a Mexican burrito on sandwich roll. All of their food has been Americanized, which is fine, just know what to expect. One thing they do right is their Conchas. They are very moist and tasty. I got the pink one and loved it. They also sell a giant one that is the size of a medium size pizza. We didn't see anyone with one of those. They would be a novelty for a large group or a good party food. I also got the pineapple Augas Fresca which was very tasty. The vibe is nice. It's more of a grab and go type of group. Very of the tables were occupied. They have a bathroom, and the code prints out on the recipes when you make a purchase. If you want to wash your hands you are welcome to and that party, you don't need a code. Parking is either on the street which is few and far between. Best options would be the parking garage, but that isn't such a good option if you just want to stop in here and grab a snack or drink. I think the only reason you'd come here if you are already in DOCO and wanted a tasty snack. We on the other hand came here just to check this place out, but we walked over so that's another way you can do it. If you are in old sac and want to try something new this is a great opportunity and option.

    The space is spacious with lots of seating. They always have decor on point for holiday. Not pictured but ordered their BLT sandwich. It was one of the best BLT I've ever had! Their hot abuelita chocolate was also solid. A nice stop on a cold day.

    First Visit a very quick stop due to parking on the street. Walked in loved the vibe and deco , it was busy with a morning event so I picked up a coffee and some conchas ohhh loved the pumpkin ones. Staff quick service no lines. will certainly return again to try other items on the menu. great sitting area and they do have Merch and Coffee for sale. be back soon

    It seems like this place is now under new management and is now called CafeX. My coworker and I went on a quick coffee break and decided to check this spot out after hearing it from others on our team. The place is conveniently located in DOCO across from Sauced and right next to Tipsy Putt. Walking in, the place was very well decorated and inviting. When we went, there was no line so we were able to check the menu and order right away. I ended up ordering the Horchata Matcha and my coworker got the Horchata Latte. For someone who is a Matcha girly, I was curious on how they do their matcha compared to other cafes. I also thought that Horchata and Matcha together were an interesting and unique combo. After taking my first sip, the Horchata Matcha was amazing! I love the cinnamon twist that you can taste with every sip. I definitely want to come back again and try more of their menu. The food selections that they have also looked and sounded really good. I was eyeing the Grilled Cheese sandwich and will definitely plan on ordering that the next time I visit here for a coffee run.

    Finished working out at 24 Hour Fitness and I noticed what used to be a Starbucks Reserve. Ambiance Bright and festive colors, so Mexican I love it. Customer Service Good. Iced Mocha Mexicano Very tasty not sure what is in it but has two shots expresso, some sort of chocolate, cinnamon and whipped cream. They have miniature pan dulces which I was informed they bake. They have a massive concha for $30 for a family affair. My interaction was brief but very positive.

    Was just wondering if they have any sugar free options available, at least sugar free syrup?

    They do but the only thing that was sugar free was their latte

    Is this a spot where you can do homework? Or do they kinda want you to finish your coffee and go?

    You can definitely hang out here but every time I've come it's been very busy! So just make sure to claim a table asap.

    Do they validate for the DOCO parking garage?

    No they don't.

    February 6, 2025 First, did this used be a Starbucks at entrance of Down Town Commons? Second, what…

    Yes it is the old Starbucks. They sell pastries and sandwiches

    What are the standard business hours ? Are they open on Presidents Day?

I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

My husband wanted the Estelle Noisette and although it was good, it was my least favorite of the three. It had pleasant nutty flavors but it was a little too rich for me. In the end, the real standout was the Blueberry Choux. The cream was light and fluffy and it had just the right amount of blueberry flavor. I really liked the texture of the pastry too and how it complimented the fluffy cream. I would definitely order that one again and highly recommend it. The pastries are definitely on the pricey side, but the quality and presentation justify the cost. The interior of the shop was nice and definitely reminded me of patisseries in France. There was plenty of seating available inside but I took my order to go. I'm really glad I finally got to give them a try and while not every item was a home run for me, the Blueberry Choux alone made the visit worthwhile. I will definitely be back to explore more of their offerings very soon.

Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.
