Day Visited: Saturday @ 1 PM Price Range: $$…read moreParking: Free parking lot Ordered: Iced Mocha with vanilla cold foam and Iced Americano with vanilla cold foam Overall, solid 8.5/10. Any time we visit Sac, it is one of our go-to spots! They do an excellent job of sourcing their coffee beans along with roasting them. They've gotten exceptionally good at standardizing their drinks across the board as well. We have also tried many of their drinks outside of what we ordered today, including the 1987, 18 to the Brain, Thai Coffee, and Mexican Mocha. They have a food menu as well, which ranges from rice bowls to breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place to go to meet with friends, studying, or working on a project. They also have a good amount of seating inside, but it does fill up quickly! They do have WiFi (and outlets) and one single bathroom. Given we have been coming here for years, it is a must whenever you're in the Arden area!

We tried the Twice Matcha, and it was really good! It had a smooth, well-balanced matcha flavor without being overly sweet. I also appreciated that it wasn't watered down or overly milky--the matcha was prepared just right. The only downside was that it was only available in one size. Service was quick once we placed our order. There is some seating available, although it can be difficult to find a spot during busy times. Overall, I enjoyed the matcha and would definitely come back to try other drinks!

If you're a coffee lover in Sacramento, Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters is a must-visit. We…read moreabsolutely loved both the coffee and the food here--it's clear they take their craft seriously. The Drinks: Their Mocha was really impressive. It had great, deep flavors and wasn't just overpowered by sugar like at some other spots. The Eats: Personal recommendation: go for the Pizza Bagel and the Croissants. Both were fresh and the perfect accompaniment to the caffeine. The indoor seating is a bit limited, so it's something to keep in mind if you're planning to stay and work, but the overall vibe was great. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience.

From the moment we walked in, I noticed all the little details that made the space feel so inviting, like lots of plants, good music, and a cozy atmosphere that made me want to stay awhile (which, we did). It's the kind of place where you can meet up with a friend, get some work done, or simply enjoy a slow morning. The coffee was excellent, and I have to mention the chocolate croissant because it was easily one of the most chocolate-filled croissants I've had in a long time. So good! Another thing I appreciated was how spacious it was. There were plenty of tables and room to spread out, which was perfect since I came with my kiddo. She loved the open space and even turned it into her own little dance floor while I enjoyed my coffee for a bit. Overall, this is a wonderful local spot with a welcoming atmosphere, delicious coffee, and plenty of space to relax or work. I will definitely be back!

In a nutshell; relatively unique cafe with their own merch to boot…read more Drawn by the really cute chowchow sign out front, youll see yourself entering and immediately get drawn by car they have displayed in the middle of their establishment. Honestly my first thoughts were, "why is there a car in here?" but Im sure car enthusiasts would fancy seeing a luxurious prestige vehicle in a cafe and everyone else would find it interesting as it is unusual for a cafe to just have a car right in the middle of its establishment. Their menu isnt overwhelming and only has a few selections, theres good pastries to try out as well. Coffee was alright and the pastries were ok, overall I guess I was just more distracted by the business's set pieces. In any case, check the place out, parking can be a pain if it gets busy, typical downtown sac. Issues.

I've tried a new drink every time and they've all been good. I love sitting on their outdoor patio much more than the indoor seating Their Matcha drink (I'm not sure the exact name) was so so good. It was kind of a mix between a latte and a slushy. On the weekends, they have Shawarma and hookah with a live music. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

I love supporting pro-Palestinian businesses, so I decided to come to Finjan Coffee House. I looked…read moretheir menu online and was really excited to try their specialty drinks, but after arriving I found out that those drinks were only offered in the Bay Area locations. I was a bit sad because their drink selection is a bit small. However, they were very helpful in helping me pick out a drink and explaining what some of their other drinks were. The employee was talking on their phone a bit throughout the time I was there, but I didn't mind since I was still deciding on a drink and not ready to order. I got the mocha drink and the Finjan coffee. I enjoyed both but I think I liked the mocha drink more. They had a wide variety of dessert that looked amazing. I want to come back and try them one day! They were absolutely mouth-watering, but too early in the day for me to have sweets. Their coffee house is quite large, with a lot of seating. It seems like a nice place to study! I loved that they had murals outside and that the nearby outside seating was also lovely. There is a wonderful aesthetic inside the shop and in the plaza it is located in.

They also have gluten free and vegan pastries too, and maybe the non specialty regular pastries as well, I'm not sure, so all of those are good options for those who get the munchies. It does get kind of crowded here at times esp on weekends, and the parking is challenging bc their lot is small and there's also zero shade. Seems most people park on the side streets in the neighborhood, but there are posted reminders to park respectfully and not block driveways and walkways. Service is good as the baristas are fast and good at their craft. I really like the ambiance here, it's really chill and it's nicely cooled here on a hot day though it really can get too crowded like I said, but everyone's respectful and people will share a table or let you squeeze in on the long table or side table. All in all, one of the better coffee shops in town. I don't live near east sac, but for coming to this Temple coffee location, I'm happy to make the drive.

Even between school sessions there can be a lot of students here. No cash, card only, and you can order online or using the self serve kiosks instead if you like. Staff are friendly and quick. I got the ice cream green tea milk boba with mini pearls and 75% sweetness. Maybe it was just a bad day but I felt like my boba was a bit undercooked and clumpy. Also tried the brown sugar roasted oolong milk tea at 50% sweetness and with coconut jelly. The oolong flavor is nice and strong and the sweetness was perfect. Next time I'll try the early gray milk tea with the new qqube (mochi) topping. I just have to be feeling brave enough for the crowds here first.

I've gone a few times in the middle of the day and it's always pretty mellow, which I love. The staff are super sweet every time. I always get the mango sticky rice, and honestly, no place has beaten it. The chunks of mango are so good, and I love that there's extra sticky rice at the bottom--such a treat to scoop up once you finish the drink. My boyfriend is obsessed with the banana matcha sticky rice. It wasn't on the menu this time, but the worker still made it for him, which was really nice. It's just as delicious. There are plenty of tables inside and some benches outside too, so it's easy to hang out for a bit. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
