    Outside nestled within a beautiful canopy of trees
    Shelly S.

    I have one word: BROWNIES!!! Went to help move my daughter out for the summer and she took me here specifically to try the brownies. They were soooooo good! I didn't get to taste anything else but I hope they never change that brownie recipe. So moist and flavorful, not loaded with too much sugar. No room inside to eat but cute outside patio beneath a canopy of shade trees that only Sac State can offer! It looked closed from the outside, but it was very much open.

    Decided to stop in here for a an iced cold brew coffee and was sadly disappointed. The brew tastes burned and watered down. Gross. I told the staff and they replaced it with a white mocha which was better. However, I would know how the roast tastes since it's covered up with sugar. The people are nice but I probably won't got back unless it's for a pastry. The pastries look amazing.

    Java city is cool! I always refill my bottle of water here. They make a good caramel macchiato! They remodeled the place so it looks soooo much nicer then it used to! It's a really cute spot and has outdoor seating which is nice for when the weather is good! They also serve pastries and little bites to eat!

    This cute little coffee spot is the perfect decompressor for the dedicated student. Nestled next to Lassen Hall and the big lawn on the CSU Sacramento campus, Java City offers delicious treats, sweets, coffees and teas to keep the college student or campus visitor happy and energized. They love holiday themes, so right now it is decked out with homely Thanksgiving and autumn decor. There are several tables and benches with umbrellas outside for seating, besides the lawn to throw out a blanket on and take a nap. Inside the shop is just enough room for the lines for coffee, so no indoor tables. Free campus WiFi is accessible, but the coffee shop has no traceable public WiFi of its own. I've ordered a regular black coffee with cream and sugar and a hot chai latte. Both were delicious and I would readily order either again in a heartbeat. This December I can guarantee you that I'll be ordering. Some more holiday-themed lattes and hot chocolate. Go check it out if you are in the area! Overall, a big 4/5! Great coffee spot!

    Medium white mocha latte!

    This is the next best thing to Starbucks. If you are a sac state student or ever been on campus this is a nice spot right by the library. There is always a line there...especially in the morning. Sometime you might get lucky. I ordered a medium white mocha latte with no whip cream. It was a little bit sweet, but it gave me my caffeine intake. They also have a great selection of pastries like muffin and bagels.

    Nothing like waiting 20min for a coffee, when there is only three people in front of you and four employees working.

    Love the new vibe and drinks at Tupelo. I had written this place off and recently rediscovered it…read moresince they changed ownership and management. Others seem to have noticed as well as this place is now constantly hopping. Love all the drinks but hot or cold americanos and infused ice teas are my go-tos. The service is fantastic. Shoutout to Sophia, the regular girl at the counter when I go in the afternoons. They recently extended their evening hours to 10 pm daily, much appreciated! I also attended their first open mic and fired pizza night last week and it was amazing. They had a big crowd and the performances were all great, not a single cringy karaoke moment. Reminded me of a cafe or club vibe in Europe or something. It was fun. Ok, so the secrets out now, just make sure to leave me a seat, preferably a couch seat with a plug. Thanks in advance.

It was THAT good! The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming, and the service was amazing. A special shoutout to Sofia and Yarmila -- they were incredibly sweet, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of my new favorite coffee spots. I'll absolutely be coming back!

    The coffee is for real here, the ambiance is balanced and unforgettable, and the service is…read morelighting fast. I had an iced latte, it was really good, I like my lattes with nothing fancy, I don't add sugar or flavors, but here's the thing, you can taste the coffee and it is properly balanced with the milk. No harsh bitterness coming off the espresso and doesn't feel under extracted either. You can tell they care about the process and the product. Personal downside, they don't do decaf, so if you ride the decaf line as I do, you'll need to ride the caffeinated train for the day. I got a cinnamon roll for later but just had to try it now. Outside is dense, not your soft gooey kind, but that doesn't mean it's not soft on the inside. It is soft and still has some chew. It is sweet without being overly done and has a hint of bakery tang. The icing looks hard, but it will not crack and fall off when you bite into it. This place could easily be a trending LA scene coffee shop but it's situated in the perfect spot. Don't let the "alley" access stop you for a second. Parking seems scant here, I walked from nearby hotel so if you're here by car, park yourself and walk your ass here. This vibe is so great, the coffee (all I can vouch for) will keep you here.

    Awesome Iced Espresso Drink Is My New Addiction!…read more SITREP I've been coming to Chloé Cà Phê & Roastery now since late Winter and it has become my go-to spot to post and enjoy coffee in my neighborhood (and it's only 3 blocks away from where I live, so that's a big plus!) THE SETUP I was only a "Daily Brew" sort of guy when I started coming here 7 months ago, but then a couple of months ago I was turned onto their Ca Phe Su Da - four (4) Espresso shots served over ice! I was sold! Most of the time, I get it "as is". Sometimes I throw in a bag of Splenda. Sometimes I add a spoonful of heavy cream. Sometimes I add in both: depends on my mood. But now I have a new favorite "go-to" coffee beverage, and it's deLISH and it hits the spot! THE LOWDOWN Chloe has an amazing menu of coffee offerings that you need to check out! It's got awesome indoor seating, some nice DJ music offerings at times, and an excellent place to meet up with friends and/or just post with your laptop a spell!

The people that work there were so cool! I'm thinking about moving to the area and they were really great about giving me a lot of suggestions of neighborhoods to look at. It seems that they specialize in a lot of iced flavored coffees, as that is what I saw most of the people that were there when I was getting. I just wanted a latte with a little bit of honey and cinnamon. Was kind of surprised that they don't carry cinnamon at their shop, that's a coffee shop staple. I did enjoy the latte, though, the roast on the beans was very nice. The vibe in this old home is so cool, lots of people just chatting and hanging out. Was a really great place to pass a little time in a beautiful neighborhood. I would return to this coffee shop. I didn't try any of the pastries that were available, but I did see a case with a selection.
