Very cute, welcoming cafe with fun decor. I loved the art work and the names of the drinks. Alas I am not into sweet coffee but my Americano was solid. Servers were friendly and helpful. A great place to meet up with friends. read more

I've been here before and had a great experience, which makes this even more disappointing. I drove 30 minutes to visit again after seeing that both Google and the business website listed their hours until 2:00 PM. I arrived around 1:40 PM only to find the doors locked and a closed sign posted. I understand things happen and businesses occasionally need to close early, but customers shouldn't have to waste a long drive because posted hours aren't accurate. If you're going to close before your advertised hours, please update Google and your website so people know before making the trip. Unfortunately, this was a very frustrating experience. read more

Very cute, well themed cafe. The space is small but not tight, and the traditional tattoo style mural and real motorcycle in the shop bring a curated vibe--the staff even had on Harley Davidson shirts. The service was excellent and the shop was very clean. The decaf lavender latte was good, but overall felt very muted--I didn't get a lot of espresso flavor, or lavender flavor which was strange. The divine order grilled cheese was delicious. The garlic was yummy, the cheese pulls were excellent, and the chicken was cubed nicely so it was well distributed in the sandwich. The sandwich was $15, which did feel steep for a three ingredient sandwich, but it was tasty. read more

Popped into Fast Cat the other morning, looking forward to enjoying a late-morning espresso beverage and one of their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches. I had a hunch that the establishment was somehow related to Shift Coffee on El Camino in Sacramento, so I asked the barista when she took my order. Turns out, the two coffee/grilled cheese shops once shared an owner, but have since split. No matter; they each have cool, laid back motorcycle/race-car vibes...but MUCH more importantly, great coffee and grilled cheese varieties to satisfy even the most discerning sweet OR savory tastebuds. At Fast Cat Coffee, I opted for the Tuscan Garden grilled cheese, which featured scrambled eggs, spinach, garlic jack & sage white cheddar cheeses, and cremini mushrooms, all sandwiched between two amazingly crispy, buttery slices of toasted French bread. Drink wise, I ordered "La Mora Mocha," with dark chocolate, blackberry syrup and something called Sinner Spice. It was delectable! Definitely would come back here for the cozy neighborhood meetup vibes, friendly service, and to try the other grilled cheese & coffee options. read more

A wonderful, quaint cafe in Carmichael with great decorative choices contributing to a welcoming and warm ambiance. I was greeted by smiling staff who gave me great recommendations for food. The smell of the custom signature grilled cheeses mixing with the freshly-brewed coffee fills the whole building. The Whole Hog sandwich was a flavorful blend of meat and cheese complemented by the bitterness of the White Mocha. Not to mention the classic combo of tomato soup next to it. Fast Cat Cafe is a gem in Carmichael I wish I would've known about sooner. read more

Fast Cat Coffee - The Hog Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Soup and a White Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmichael, California

Lively coffee shop that serves up some really good grilled cheese (but fancy) sandwiches. We shared the Divine order sandwich which had chicken breast, garlic jack and fontina cheeses. Very good mild flavor. I plan to try the hot chick next time which has spicier ingredients. The sandwiches are generous in size and big enough to share. I also tried the superleggera which was a honey latte with a ton of flavor. I will get this drink again for sure. I got The Hog and one of the Harry potter drink concoctions to go and the hubby loved both. The baristas were very sweet and service was quick despite the shop being packed. I'm glad this shop is in my neighborhood. read more

WOW! I was immediately blown away by the vintage charm of this coffee shop. They have a whole menu of coffee and a whole menu of gourmet grilled cheeses. I dropped in on a Saturday morning so it was a bit too early for me to eat a grilled cheese but their menu is intriguing so I will return for that. The staff is very friendly and I was so surprised at how amazing the coffee was. I ordered a Superleggera Espresso and steamed almond milk with sinner spice which is a combination of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and cocoa powder and sweetened with honey. They offer a 16oz - (2 shots) or large (20oz - 4 shots). I do not like overly sweet coffee so this was absolutely perfect and the spice gave it a sweet kick. I love everything about this place and will definitely be returning. read more

I've been here once after wanting to try a new coffee shop and not realizing this gem was near me! This is a cafe and a grilled cheese shop rolled into one that serves delicious food and drinks! The restaurant is beautiful inside, lots of seating and natural light pouring in, really friendly staff, and a large menu to look through. I came for brunch by myself and got the Midtown Morning sandwich and the Bugatti breve latte. Both were great, the latte was warm and flavorful. The sandwich was super filling and amazing. Perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon, and was great with hot sauce. I ended up eating half and taking half home it was a great size! I always think about this place and have to come back to try some more items! read more

My husband and I came around 8:30am and parked in one of the many open spots in the parking lot. There was only one other customer ahead of us and plenty of seating. The staff were friendly and everything was made quickly. We ordered the Midtown Morning breakfast sandwich which was really good. My husband ordered a Vanilla Latte + Caramel, and I ordered the Bugatti Breve Latte. The Vanilla Caramel Latte was really good, we would definitely order it again. I also really liked the Bugatti, but my husband wasn't a fan, so I guess it's not for everyone. Overall, good food, good coffee, friendly staff, good atmosphere, easy parking. A great little Carmichael gem! read more

Yelped this spot after hunger hit, not familiar with the area. Glad we came! This is an obvious coffee spot, you'll see folks with books/laptops sipping on their large emotional support beverage. But you'll also smell their grilled cheese sandwiches. My son and I ordered their breakfast sandwich and then a "make your own" grilled cheese..,and of course we each had a cup of their tomato bisque. Their tomato bisque is absolutely one of the best i've had. There's a little graininess to the consistency - like fresh parmesan, which made it memorable. The sourdough bread was cooked perfectly; the right crunch/toast without being burnt. 1/2 a sandwich with the soup was plenty for one meal. Would definitely come back! read more

My mom and I have been to Fast Cat before, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. It's a small café with a fun vibe, friendly staff, and seriously good food. This time, we split an Orchard King grilled cheese and some tomato soup - and it was more than enough for both of us. The sandwich was golden and gooey, the soup was flavorful and comforting. We also treated ourselves to their iced lavender coffee - it's become a favorite of ours, and it never disappoints. Whether it's a quick stop or a relaxing lunch, Fast Cat always hits the spot. We'll continue to drop by whenever we get the chance! read more

If you are fan of grilled cheese get ready to get your hands dirty! We got one After School Special (Make your own grilled cheese) and one Midtown Morning for breakfast to go. Both were delicious! While picking up the order I must say I really like the atmosphere in the cafe and the people were really nice so definitely will also dine-in. You can work or study inside the cafe like any other coffee shop but also admire the decoration and their speciality drinks! Service was quick and very friendly, thanks for all! read more

I've always heard of Fast Cat Coffee but haven't been yet. Decided to come by and do some work since the weather was hot. When I first walked in I was greeted by the barista and I decided to order the Iced Bugatti Breve Latte & Custard Scone. I ordered the Bugatti because I notice on Yelp that it was popular and now I know why. The drink tasted amazing! It was the perfect amount of sweetness as well. Perfectly paired with my pastry. I was surprised how moist the pastry was. If I lived closer this would be my to go to spot to get some work done. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some coffee and some good pastries! read more

Who doesn't like coffee and a grilled cheese sandwich? Well if you're looking for a place that has both, Fast Cat Coffee is the spot for you. My boyfriend and I stopped by on Sunday for breakfast before 9 am. There were a bunch of people here already which was a great sign for the food/drinks. We were greeted by who I believe is the owner and she was extremely friendly! We ordered The Hog and Wake Up in Guanajuato. For coffee, I got the Superleggera with whole milk and my boyfriend got the Bugatti Breve Latte. The Hog was my favorite out of the two sandwiches. I really liked how all the different meats complimented each other while providing different flavors. I also loved the texture difference with having the cheese on the outside of the sandwich. The Wake Up in Guanajuato was a good sandwich too. I'd definitely recommend asking for the salsa on the side as we did. It kept the sandwich from getting soggy or wet. It just wasn't my favorite, I don't think a "breakfast" sandwich is my thing. Coffee was decent. When I asked if I could substitute the almond milk in the Superleggera with 2% I thought it was cool they could do half whole and half nonfat. I never thought of this before nor been given that option before, so I really appreciated that. To make it less complicated I just went with whole milk. The coffee was a tad bit on the watery side for me and didn't have a strong enough coffee/espresso taste, so that was a let down. Out of the two coffees, I'd say the Bugatti Breve Latte was the better one. It was more creamy and more flavor. Overall, really great service and good food! Also if you like the whole biker vibe, this place is perfect for you. It's really cool to see all the different artwork and pieces here. read more

Stopped in here from coffee and quick breakfast. Looking for a change from Starbucks and other chains. Was very pleasantly surprised. Coffee is Varnell's and was brewed very well (a lot of small places make it too weak for me). The food was the real winner. I had a breakfast sandwich with pulled pork that was amazing and surprisingly large. With tip coffee and sandwich came to just $22. Staff is friendly and upbeat, ambiance is chill. It's the kind of place people come to hang out and have coffee together. Definitely recommended if you are in Carmichael and looking to have a coffee, eat a light meal and relax. read more

I'm not sure if ownership has changed or what happened. It used to have really good food and coffee, the shop was well kept and now... It has none of that. The pulled pork was very much not fresh but tasted microwaved. The only thing that saved the visit was the sweet baby cheezus. read more

Been a fast cat fan for a hot minute- good ambience, great grilled cheese. However, as of the last three visits the coffee brings a disappointment akin to stepping on a puddle while wearing socks. Either the machine is not correctly calibrated or the owners cease to care about their coffee aspect. If the latter is the case, that's fine. But please, remove it from the menu or calibrate the machines. Fast Cat's grilled cheeses and overall vibe is a great place. read more

Wonderful coffee and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. The brisket sandwich is amazing. Great ambience!

Great coffee. Never really crowded and they have great music playing. Yummy breakfast sandwiches! The service is really nice.

Stopped by the Fast Cat Coffee shop on my way to a buddies and it did not disappoint. I was greeted right away and handed a menu I explained to the cook tattooed girl that I was gonna be a pain in the ass and not look at the menu and just tell her what I want. And what she gave me might have been the most delicious coffee contraption I ever did experience. It was a simple toffee nut latte and it was to die for. I really think there was crack in because as soon as I was done I wanted another. And now whenever I'm in that area I will be stopping at this rad place instead of my local Starbucks. The ambiance also hella cool it gives off vintage motorcycle shop vibes and seeing as I am a moto rider my self I am a sucker for these kinda shops. So cool the whole damn experience. read more

Nice little local coffee shop. Just had the Cuban coffee & it was good. Good atmosphere.

This place is heaven sent. I DoorDashed a lavender latte (added rose) and the wake up in Guanajuato sandwich. Best breakfast EVER! The latte was possibly the BEST lavender latte of my life. Pure and well balanced, no artificial sugary taste. The sandwich was easily the best sandwich I've ever ordered. The cheese, the flavor, the LOVE it was made with - unbeatable. You MUST order there!! read more

Fast Cat Coffee - A Hidden Gem in Carmichael! Stopped by Fast Cat Coffee and had a great experience! I ordered the Hot Chick sandwich, a spicy grilled chicken and cheese sandwich that was packed with flavor, and paired it with the Bugatti Breve Latte, recommended by the cashier. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions despite the limited inventory. The cook also went above and beyond to make everything happen--really nice guy! My husband got the almond milk latte, which he loved. We split the sandwich and the house-made tomato soup, which was slightly sweet but paired perfectly with the sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. The café itself is cozy and clean, with tables for two and window seating. The coffee and breakfast were spot-on. If you're ever in Carmichael, definitely give this place a try! read more

I was excited at the thought of breakfast grilled cheese. In the end. Turned out to be a breakfast sandwhich that was grilled. The staff was alright. They were super helpful, nor were they rude. They did lock the side door in the back since it would not close. I would have liked warning or notification if they were going to lock it. It was not like it was a hassle to return the trays up front Parking is horrific. Next door their is space, but it's for the apartments. So, you may have to walk if needed. It looks pretty busy, so maybe the coffee is another snacks are good. They do have grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. Those might be good, so check it out and let me know. We won't be going back. Did really leave an imprint on our taste buds. The people dining in were nice, though Had a lot of nice conversations with them. Every customer overall was quite friendly. Have a great day all, and I hope your experience is better than ours! read more

The ambiance was loud (house/tech music). Seemed like they purposely chose not to turn lights on (there is a difference between ambient lighting and lights turned off). I arrived around 8:30am and there was zero food in the cases (normal pasty items that are shown on their yelp page) and seemed like the only food item available on their menu was avocado toast. The gal at the counter looked like she was coming straight from a rave bender. Couldn't sit still or make eye contact, drumming on the counter to the music, odd mannerisms - while waiting for us to order. Her energy was stressing me out. We left without ordering. read more

This place a cool, mellow vibe, staff is friendly, and they make a top-tier mocha. Didn't try the food this time, but I'll be back.

What a quaint little spot. Besides the coffee being really good the grilled was *chefs kiss* Loved the theme as well! read more

Food and service were great! I was worried the food would be too heavy for a breakfast but it was perfect. The sandwiches are toasted perfectly and the flavor combinations are amazing. Would recommend their Hot Chick if you want something spicy.

Feel like we've hit a lottery finding this place!! First of all the service and ambiance 10/10000. I was welcomed with a friendly smile, young lady behind the cashier. It was our first time there and I fell in love with the place!! They have a menu upon entering. i ordered a white mocha coffee and a midtown morning breakfast sandwich & my husband a Cava latte & a Wake up in Guanajuato sandwich. Absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were made to perfection. The cheese pull in my midtown morning was heavenly. Explosion of flavors!! We're definitely coming back. Super cozy place, friendly warming staff read more

First off the service was great! The worker greeted me warmly and I had no troubles ordering at all. They allowed me to make changes such as putting whole milk instead of almond milk in one of my drinks and for the salsa in one of my sandwiches to be put on the side. Secondly, I liked the ambiance of the place even if I'm not into motorcycles at all. It felt nice and cozy and not too overwhelming. There were lots of seats available inside and outside as well. For drinks, we got the superlegerra where whole milk was subbed for almond milk and the bugatti breve latte. Both were decent lattes, nothing really special that stuck out, a bit on the watery side but I should've maybe asked to remake it. Next time I'll come and give it another try. Lastly for sandwiches we got The Hog and Wake Up in Guanajuato. For me, I liked The Hog way more. The parmesan crusted bread was nicely toasted and had a great crunch to it and the flavors of all the meats and the cheeses in the sandwich complimented each other well. The Wake Up in Guanajuato was decent, I think there was too much going on in the sandwich and I couldn't really taste the pulled pork in there. It was a good sandwich, but I thought the other one we got was way better. Overall it is a good place to eat and I definitely want to come back and try more things on the menu, especially when it comes to the grilled cheeses. Would recommend to other people as well! read more

Who knew coffee and cheesy sammiches were such a good pair? I did not, but it was a great meal! I tried one sweet and one savory, both were great. The Sweet Baby Cheesus and the Old Town Brooklyn. Perfectly grilled bread, melty mix of cheeses and toppings. Both were good with the tomato soup on the side. For my caffeine intake I went with the Grand Prix, very tasty coffee. It would have been better not in a paper cup. That was my only complaint, when dining in. It should be the default, but I'll be sure to ask for a real cup if I make it back there. Also, got a Long Beach lemonade to-go. Great refreshing tea/lemonade with berry and lavender. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. read more
