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.

Looking to try another place that I have had bookmarked for quite some time, I'm made my way to Ca…read morePhe Phin to grab my morning coffee. 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.

I popped into Cafe La Vies for two drinks before a pilates class. It looks like the line can build…read morefast in here but they do a pretty good job at managing the line. Once I entered, I could see why there were so many people trickling in, they had so many drinks I wanted to try! But I went with the banana matcha and vietnamese egg coffee. Both were delicious. I'm not in Sac much but if I were to come by this way more often, this would definitely be a place I'd pop into each time as part of the itinerary. Ambiance isn't anything crazy, its definitely spacious and a cool place to link up with friends or even do some work on your laptop. I would absolutely make my way back, especially to try other drinks!

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

Tupi Coffee never disappoints! I've been here several times and their gluten-free cheese bread is…read morewhat keeps me coming back. It's the perfect salty pairing with the sweet flavors of the Moreno coffee--always my go-to drink. Unfortunately the bread was sold out when I went this time (but that's how you know how good it is)! I also love the outdoor seating area above the shop. It's a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. The shop is tucked inside a cute neighborhood and only a few steps away from Southside Park, which makes a nice place to grab coffee and walk around. Tupi is definitely worth exploring!

Such a cute little place to hang out, enjoy some food, and sip on some drinks. The staff here is…read morevery cheerful and greet you with big smiles. Tupi Coffee's menu is very versatile and they offer many things. What brought me here are the Brazilian baked goods and they did not disappoint! They look small, but they are very filling. I shared the 4 pictured goods with my partner and we were both stuffed by the end of it. If you try anything at all, try the coxinha (but I urge you to try everything) So delicious! The coffee is pretty good. Latte is on the sweeter side. The Moreno is very sweet but pretty yummy! I don't find myself ordering coffee very much anymore, but I wanted to try it since it's traditional Brazilian (and well, it's a Brazilian place). It was very busy since the rooftop was host to a plethora of different events. Overall, a beautiful place home to various communities where you can connect. So beautiful!

Twice Matcha (4.5/5) With Oat Milk…read more Matcha latte is unsweetened but matcha cream top comes sweetened Matcha flavor was good after mixed with cream top (latte base was a tad bit milky) Comparable to bay area matcha :)

Finally got the chance to try this place! They have a parking lot, but it was completely full when…read morewe arrived. The wait was around 15 minutes, which wasn't too bad. 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!

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.

They describe it as Pink Chai as "green tea simmered with cardamom and fennel, milk, sweetened, and topped with pistachios." I'd add that it's quite creamy and even a bit salty! I've also tried some of their unique matcha drinks like the banana matcha, which is on the milker side. Qisa is also a great place to study or get work done. There are plenty of seats and outlets, and when weather is nice, the outdoor seating is great.

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.

Came in with my girlfriend during the weekend, after learning that her friend had a new location…read moredowntown. We've been to the original location in Elk Grove several times, and the one off Arden several times as well. And now the newest location located right behind the ice blooks. Space wise this is definitely their largest location to date, and includes a bar where you can actually get alcoholic drinks if that suits you. Because it was late morning and we'd just come from Jiu Jitsu class. We stopped in to grab ourselves some breakfast burritos for us and our boys. Decor was really nice and carried on the notable mural theme from the other 2 locations. Just slightly different like the other two, to make ir unique to this location. Breakfast burrito, bacon (2x) Breakfast burritos, sausage Overall: The burritos were bomb, and we'll definitely have to stop back in when in the area. For sure for breakfast again, but we all want to dine in for lunch and or for dinner.

I've been to Forever by 18 Grams 2 times and really enjoy their creative Asian fusion brunch…read moreconcept. The menu has a fun mix of flavors that you don't usually find at a typical café. Food (4/5): We tried the Ube French Toast, Shrimp Noodle Salad, and the Longanisa Sando. The Ube French Toast is definitely worth ordering--the ube flavor is rich without being overly sweet. I do miss the older version with the ube cream though; I thought it was even better. The toast itself is a little on the oily side since it's fried, but the flavor is still delicious. The Shrimp Noodle Salad is refreshing and well-balanced with a nice kick from the chili crisp, although I wish the portion were a bit bigger for the price. My favorite was the Longanisa Sando. The Filipino sweet pork sausage patty is juicy and flavorful, and the combination with the egg, banana ketchup, and jalapeño sauce works really well. Atmosphere (5/5): The café has a fun, modern, and chill vibe. It's a great spot to catch up with friends, work on a laptop, or enjoy a relaxed brunch. The overall aesthetic is bright and inviting. Service (4/5): It's mostly a self-service café, and ordering is straightforward. Food comes out at a reasonable pace. Cleanliness (2.5/5): This is the biggest area that needs improvement. Even though it's self-serve, I still expect the dining area to be kept clean. During my visit, the tables weren't wiped down promptly, and the floor could definitely use more attention. A cleaner dining space would make the overall experience much more enjoyable. Value (3.5/5): Prices are on the expensive side for a brunch café. The food is creative, though some dishes, like the Shrimp Noodle Salad, could be a little more generous in portion size. Overall, Forever by 18 Grams is a unique brunch spot with creative Asian fusion dishes and a fun atmosphere.

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.
