The first time visiting, I tried their banana matcha which was delicious. Came by today and got their egg coffee, also very delicious. They do not miss here. Highly recommend. As for service, they make your drinks pretty fast and move the line quickly, so no complaints there. Ambiance could be taken up a notch by making it more cute and cozy but definitely just a place to pop in and grab your bev.

So I was really waiting on them to just fix the payment system, way to inconvenience the customer. Cause it's so hard to just make the moment right?!? Two visits prior to today's they made a specialty drink wrong and couldn't even fix their mistake. I'll save myself the disappointment andgo elsewhere next time.

It's been a long time since we last been to 18 grams. It wasn't that busy then so it was nice to see them doing well. The staff were cool, definitely working hard to keep up with the business. There was a lot of seating both inside and out. We ordered on the kiosk but you can also order from the cashier. We didn't realize how much food items they now offered. There's different Filipino/Hawaiian dishes like a katsu, loco moco, and longanisa. They had baked goodies like ube muffins and pandan cookies. For drinks they were plenty of coffees, lattes, and teas. It was pretty busy so it took a while for our food to come out. It wasn't the best we had, but all the food was enough to satisfy our cravings. It was definitely a modern take on things that was enjoyable.

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!

Get close and listen up... Best. Coffee. in. Sacramento…read more Our favorite drink is the iced shaken espresso, which is made with oat milk and only slightly sweetened. You can still taste the espresso bitterness that's perfectly balanced with the oat milk and a hint of sweetness that leaves me thinking about when can i come back and get another cup of it. The owner is extremely nice and has made every experience coming here an absolute joy. Can't wait to see what they do with their new Natomas location opening soon! Until then, I'd say you should DEFINITELY make the drive out to grab a cup of coffee (and maybe a Turkish delight or two). You won't regret it.

The cheesy layered pastry is the standout for me, it's so good that I'd honestly come back just for that! The one thing I wasn't a fan of was the traditional chai. I really wanted to love it, but I think the house chai recipe could use some reworking. A little more depth and balance in the spices would make a big difference. Currently it's more of a driver stand flavored chai rather than a traditional chai served Pakistani style. Overall, there's a lot to enjoy at Qisa, and I'm excited to see what they bring to their new Natomas location. I'll definitely be back for that cheesy pastry!

Now that I am frequenting the office more, it provides me with an opportunity to discover "new to…read moreme" coffee shops in the downtown area. Looking forward to catching up with a friend, I found it ironic that she suggested Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery - considering that it was at the top of my Yelp bookmarks. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by a beautiful purple right-hand drive Nissan Skyline! I honestly don't know if this happened by chance or if my friend chose this particular coffee shop due to my love for cars. After I was done gawking at the Skyline, I approached the front counter where a friendly employee greeted me ready to take my order. Since the fall season was near (its already fall at the time that I'm drafting this review), I decided to go with the Sea Salt Latte - which was an option on the fall menu. Less than five minutes later our orders were ready. I found it very personable that the employee made pleasant eye contact and said "enjoy your coffee Raheem" as he handed it to me. While I sipped on my delicious latte and caught up with my friend, the nostalgic sounds of 90's and early 2000's R&B played in the background. Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery is my jam...I look forward to making a return visit in the very near future!

I don't know if Chloe recently changed their matcha or recipe for their coconut cloud matcha, but…read moretoday it tasted off :( I was quite disappointed since this was a drink I've recommended to numerous people and have ordered quite a few times. This time, it just tasted like a green coconut water when previously there was a beautiful balance between the matcha and coconut flavoring creating a refreshing caffeine hit. Unfortunately at ~$8 a cup I don't think I can risk another bad one.

Upon taking a sip, I realized I should've asked if they could just use half the amount of normal syrup because I could've easily made this same drink at home; this was my mistake! Nonetheless, it was nice to know they don't infuse their chai with a bunch of premade syrup! Will come back to try more drink options in the future. It's a nice, open place. It doesn't feel crammed, unlike many coffee shops, and has plenty of walking room.

What I found really cool is the ground seating area they have! This is a very traditional style of seating in the Middle East, and to see it here makes me feel close and proud of my heritage. The coffee is great, I got a pistachio iced latte with almond milk and you can't even taste the almond milk. What I would love to see is how it would be with live pianist or other live music. And maybe the smoke detector so it stops chirping Overall service was great I will be back if I'm in the area

Ca Phe Phin is a cute Viet coffee spot that's to die for! My boyfriend and I came here to catch up…read morewith an old friend of mine, and we enjoyed our drinks. He got the egg cream coffee, I got the banana cream matcha, and she got the strawberry matcha. The banana cream had small bits of banana in it- not too large to mess with the texture, but still yummy and packing a bit of sweetness in each of them! The matcha itself was great, the taste was earthy and not bitter. I downed my drink faster than I'd care to admit. The egg cream coffee was unique and yummy, definitely strong! The inside is decorated so cutely and was showing the World Cup on TV for a few people to watch. I wish them much continued success with their business.

Located in an inconspicuous strip mall, I was warmly greeted with a friendly "hello" and a bright smile. I decided to switch things up, and I actually ordered a strawberry iced Matcha latte. Hands-down, this was one of the best Matcha lattes I have had in a long time and the strawberry added a nice twist. The service was fast and extremely friendly and the prices were fair. There was ample parking and if you are a fan of Vietnamese coffee I would highly recommend checking this place out.

It's become our go-to place for a special reward treat when the kids are doing especially well in school and excelling academically. Nothing motivates them quite like knowing a Tomo treat might be waiting for them! Everything feels like such a fun little treat, and it's become a place we genuinely enjoy coming to as a family. Definitely a favorite in our household!

Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.
