It's exciting to see a Vietnamese coffee spot closer to home- usually I have to drive to South Sac to get my fix. Staff was friendly and greeted me upon entry. The interior is small but clean and brightly lit. The coffee is good but weaker than I expect when getting Vietnamese coffee. It is phin dripped, and the classic flavor is there, but less creamy texture. Traditionally the brew is very strong and mixed with condensed milk only - the ice in this instance is necessary to balance the boldness. In this coffee, between the added milk and large amount of ice, it is watered down and not the full bodied experience you would expect. Overall still a good cup, and probably the best you can get in the immediate area, but not wholly satisfying if you are seeking the traditional Vietnamese coffee flavor.

Tiramisu coffee and biscoff cookie coffee

This place was amazing! I got the tiramisu coffee and my husband the Biscoff coffee. The drinks were literally dessert :) mine even came with a literal piece of tiramisu cake!! If you need a fun little treat, this is for sure the place to go.

The quality of their drinks is still great and has been consistent throughout the year. Their employees are always kind even during busy hours and long lines of customers. The interior is always well-kept and seasonally decorated but definitely not meant for sitting and chatting as the lobby quickly gets crowded when it's busy. One issue would be their rewards system. After entering your phone number on the screen, it will show you your accumulated loyalty points and the rewards available to redeem once you hit 100 points. I've been stuck at 96 points since Winter/Spring and have already brought it to the employee's attention so that they can inform the manager/owner in case they were not aware. They need to check their pos terminal or contact ChowBus to fix this.

Strawberry Matcha
Stephanie H.

Read some good things about their matcha, so I decided to try their Strawberry Matcha. I adjusted the sweetness to 50%. Someone came to the front and greeted me as I began to order off the kiosk. They then offered to take my order, so I ended up ordering with the worker. It's a small place. There wasn't anyone inside when I visited, but there's just a few spots to sit on along the walls. As others mentioned, the drinks contain a large amount of ice, but I thought it was a good drink. I'm not sure what the purpose was of the paper they put over the top of the cup, but I took it off after leaving the shop.

Strawberry matcha

Oh my goooosh I am obsessed. I haven't been in person but have been wanting to try this place - I haven't because I'm not sure if there's any seating to study and get work done. I'll go check it out though, because I door dashed a matcha and it was perfection. I got a strawberry almond milk matcha with an extra shot of matcha and it was delicious. 100% on the sweeter side (not obnoxiously sweet like boba, but they have a sweeter hand) so ask for less sweet if you like a more mild sweetness. The bag they delivered it in was so fancy - a closed branded drink carrier, and the matcha quality was high quality. The strawberry flavor was real, not artificial, and there were little strawberry chunks that I loved. I downed this drink happily! Edit: I came in person and they have a self service kiosk and someone to help if you call for it (such sweet staff). They indeed have no tables to work at - they have 2 seats and a bench to sit at while you wait! Matcha the second time was just as good as the first, oh lord. This time I got the marshmallow brûlée with torched marshmallow and I drank it in 5 minutes it was so Carmamel-y and rich. This time I got it less sweet and, because I have a sweet tooth, I would do regular. I actually don't die for marshmallows but I ate all 3 because they tasted like rich brûlée perfection. Can't wait to come back again (my boyfriend is jealous)

Gu Coffee & Tea is located in the same plaza with Tang's Sushi on Blue Oaks Blvd in Roseville. The Egg Coffee is a sweet and creamy treat. A bit pricey, but a worthwhile drink. For a Hot Egg Coffee filled to the top, you need to pay a $1.50 upgrade to large size. Still not quite filled up to the brim of a typical grande sized cup. Coffee ends up over $9 if you pay with a credit card. I had read reviews complaining about too much ice and not enough coffee, so I figured ordering hot was the way to go. I prefer hot anyway. Service was pretty fast. I beat the influx, but they all left shortly after me. My drink likely required more prep time since most people order iced drinks. I am curious about the Sesame Coffee, Marble Coffee, and Banh Mi. Customers after me seemed to be ordering Matcha. All the coffees, except Coconut Coffee and Avocado Coffee, can be ordered hot. Cafe is mainly for to go orders. No dining tables inside. 2 benches, 2 chairs, 1 stool, and 2 small accent tables.

I highly recommend ordering online and picking up. It is wayyyyyyyyy faster. I still had to wait for everyone in line to be helper, but at least my drink was ready. The Tiramisu Kafe was delish per usual. Ang the slice of tiramisu cake on top really makes the drink!!!!

Marshmallow Brûlée Matcha ($9.29)
Amber N.

Saw this place on TikTok and wanted to check it out since I was in the area. Plenty of parking but the store is very small. They only have two benches and from where you walk in and order. The counter is only a couple feet apart from each other and the counter was very low. The store itself is nicely decorated. Very simple. Waited a little line and ordered at the kiosk. They have a brand new matcha series and the marshmallow brûlée matcha caught my attention ($9.29). Ngl the drink is expensive, but the drink itself was good. The matcha was rice and flavor and the brûlée tasted so yummy. I loved the marshmallows on top because they were toasted.

Double matcha - less sweet - Amazing !
Ryah B.

TL;DR: the double matcha (less sweet*) tied for the best matcha I've ever had in Sac and surrounding areas. Best matcha is from Offbeat coffee in sac, but the double at Gu Ca Phe is just as good and has its own unique charm. Worth the price, worth the drive! Amazing. If I got it with normal sweetness, I don't think I'd love it as much. Long version: Cute little spot in an unsuspecting location. I don't live in Roseville but was here for an appointment so I stopped by since this place has been on my list. After trying dozens of matchas in Sacramento and surrounding areas, this one definitely rivals the top spot. It's a small location and the service was nice and pretty standard. They also have a kiosk so you can take extra time to scroll through the menu with photos. Not a fan of the AI artwork throughout if I'm being honest but I know it's a sign of the times. And I'm glad their drinks actually do look pretty damn close to the photos unlike other businesses. I got the regular size double matcha, less sweet. If it was regular sweetness, I don't think I'd like it as much. The matcha is good quality, seems like it was freshly handwhisked but not sure. It is strong without being astringent. The matcha cream is amazing and strong as well. You def have to love matcha to enjoy this one. It's going to be stronger than something you find at Starbucks of course. I love matcha to hit me in the face so this drink was perfect. They have the good ice, too ! A similar matcha I've tried, and is my personal #1 across dozens I've tried, is from Offbeat Coffee (x2 matcha). Gu Ca Phe has finessed something similar and I honestly feel like it would be worth the drive from West Sac to Roseville just for Gu Ca Phe's double matcha. I want to try their other drinks. The sugar croiffle was delicious, too!

Americano, standard, matcha cloud foam, coconut cloud
Jill M.

Gu is perfect for when you need a caffeine boost! They specialize in Vietnamese style coffees that are typically sweetened with condensed milk & other flavorings! I love the fact that you can order the standard Viet coffee, but they also offer renditions that are also so good! For 4 drinks, I spend about $30 but the quality was top tier. The place itself is small (like any drink/boba place) but still clean & staff were friendly! Would recommend and come again!

Leticia R.

Been looking for a phin drip coffee and finally found GU! It's absolutely delicious. Good strong cold coffee! And the croffle, just as delicious! Great customer service. Nice little shop unfortunately no seating area with tables for sit in service. Will definitely go back and most likely become a regular.

Pork Sandwich To Go
Nancy T.

I stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon. There were several people waiting for their food. We ordered two sandwiches and a black sesame drink. We had to wait 28 minutes for our food. I don't know if it normally takes this long. The sandwich was good and the box presentation is nice. I had the black sesame drink, which was delicious. The ambience of this place is cute, but there really isn't much space to sit down inside to eat.

Our drinks
Jenny L.

I was visiting family in Rocklin and was invited here. I'm a matcha lover and had high hopes and wasn't disappointed at all. I had the Tiramisu matcha but tried the coffee which was delicious as well . Shop is in a small shopping center , a little hidden but super clean and cute, I will for sure come back when we return again!

Hidden Coffee Bar ended up being a really cool experience. Met Austin, the owner, and we…read moreimmediately got into it on coffee, gear, sourcing, all the fun stuff. I'll be honest, the Ethiopian I started with wasn't really showing how I expected. It felt a little muted and flat to me. But here's where it flipped, he actually checked back in, asked what I thought, and instead of brushing it off, he was like "yeah... you're right." That alone tells you a lot. He pivoted and brewed up a Mexican that absolutely slapped. Clean, expressive, way more dialed. From there we just geeked out for a bit talking single origins, roasting approaches, equipment, all of it. That level of awareness and willingness to adjust in real time is rare, and it's what makes a place worth coming back to. I'm really interested to see how he continues to shape the program here. This feels like a shop that's still evolving in a good way.

I was looking for a random coffee place to get coffee and/or matcha before I left Sacramento, and I…read morehappened to stumble upon this locally owned coffee shop in Roseville, not too far from where I was having my conference at. I was honestly so excited to go to this place. This coffee bar is actually quite hidden, as they are located right behind the Village General Store on Vernon. There's quite a bit of parking when the storefront is closed, so you wouldn't even expect a wait at all. They have such a spacious patio as well (if you want to sit down and have a good time chatting it up with your other friends), and such big space to wait if you don't want the patio. I got one of their oatmeal cookies as well as their Matcha lattes. What I didn't know was that their oatmeal cookies were gluten free, and they were sourced and made locally by artisans here in Roseville. They also used quite premium-grade matcha that made it taste really good with the whole milk they mixed in eventually. The ambiance and the hospitality was one of the best out there, and I can't wait to be back the next time I'm in Sacramento!
