It definitely was once a clothing store that they transformed into a coffee shop with tables, couches, arcade games, board games and even a pool table. The vanilla latte was a hit. The server was super friendly. He brought us our drink once it was finished too. This spot is a nice getaway from the crowds of folks shopping. It doesn't feel like it's located inside of the outlets which is a major plus. We love shopping at the Folsom Outlets and having a cool place like this to drop in and relax and recharge is going to be a life saver.

Their ambience and relaxing atmosphere are very calming and friendly and their decorations are very intriguing. Don't get me started on their taiyaki! It is SO good, my favorites are definitely the Nutella one and the pizza one!!! They're high quality treats for a low price and are very delicious! Their iced green tea is even better and absolutely worth it!! It's extremely refreshing and light and pairs perfectly with their taiyaki! They have a lot of games and lounging areas and have jazz music that is there but not too loud! Very interesting place with very interesting aspects. Their service is also really good and the workers there are really friendly!! Come here for sure if you want relaxation and yummy treats!

Plenty of indoor seating with a mix of counters and tables, no outdoor setup, and a pretty minimal food menu. But you're not here for the food anyway. You're here for the coffee, and that's where it delivers. Good vibes, no nonsense, and a price point that's refreshing Parking? Lot. Easy We had: Pour Over, Papua New Guinea and Bali (5/5): Finding a genuinely good pour over under five dollars feels almost extinct at this point. Somehow, Kingdom makes it feel normal. Both beans were clean, intentional, and actually distinct, which is the whole point of a pour over. The Papua New Guinea was smooth with soft chocolate notes, balanced and easy without feeling boring. The Bali brought more brightness with a citrus edge that gave it some energy. Two different profiles, both executed well

I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.

F#*%* you short white guy! Root of Happiness? More like Root of Attitude…read more Came in for a simple Kava cloud and was refused without any explanation. Instead of basic customer service, I got hostility, swearing, and an instant call for security. No conversation, no reason given -- just pure aggression. The employee was rude, angry, and clearly looking for conflict rather than doing his job. The vibe was so toxic it felt like I personally offended him by existing. Honest question: who ruined your day, and why are you taking it out on customers? And even more important -- why do you hate your job this much?

4estea Hits the Spot with Halo Halo and Longsilog Bowl…read more Stopped by 4estea and left impressed. This cozy spot nails Filipino flavors with a fun twist. The Halo Halo is outstanding--layered with sweet beans, fruits, jellies, ube ice cream, leche flan, and crunchy pinipig. Refreshing, not too sweet, and packed with perfect textures in every bite. One of the best I've had. Paired perfectly with the Longsilog bowl: flavorful sweet longanisa sausage over garlic rice with sunny-side-up eggs. Hearty portion, bold yet balanced flavors, and super satisfying. Friendly service, fair prices, and generous portions. If you're craving authentic-yet-elevated Filipino eats in the Rancho Cordova area, 4estea delivers. Highly recommend--5/5! I'll be back soon.

It's a bit out of the way for me, but well worth it if you're in the area or passing through. There's plenty of parking in their lot and there were other businesses in the plaza. I was greeted right away and the team here was really friendly. There were some items that weren't available, but they let me know about some favorites and specials. I wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Longsilog ($16.99), Palabok ($14.98), Pork Lumpia ($6.49), Golden Calamansi drink ($6.88), Muscat Verde drink ($6.68), and the Turon Matcha Latte ($11.32). It took a but for everything to be ready, but they packed it up nicely for my to-go order and I was on my way. The food didn't make it far, I had to try the lumpia right away while it was fresh and crispy and it was delicious. Exactly what I'm looking for in pork lumpia. I would order this anytime I visit. Once I got to my destination I tried the rest of the items. For some reason the straws did not want to puncture the plastic lids on the drinks so I had to puncture it with my keys- it was a bit comical trying to puncture the drink top with the straw and just destroying the straws... luckily I managed in the end. The drinks were very refreshing and perfect for our hot summer days. I gifted the Turon Matcha Latte to someone else who said it was sweet but good. I liked the Longsilog a lot, the sausages were delicious, juicy with a hint of sweetness, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. I wish the rice had a stronger garlic flavor- it's one of my favorite parts of the filipino plate meals. The Pancit Palabok was tasty and I liked the shrimp and eggs on top. After trying this though, I think I prefer Pancit Bihon, although the sauciness of the palabok would be great when you're looking for something savory and comforting. I'll definitely continue exploring the menu and I'm excited for my next visit.

I finally stopped by after picking up something small at Chick Fil A next door. When I pulled up into the drive thru, there was a sign that said that the speaker was currently not working so had to go up to the drive thru window to order. Luckily there was no line when I was there! I pulled up to the drive thru window and initially ordered an Iced Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, they were out of matcha so I ended up going with my usual second choice drink which was an Iced Vanilla Chai. I also asked for light ice so it's not too much ice. The drink was made pretty quick so I didn't have to wait too long. I took a sip and was very pleased with their Vanilla Chai drink given it was my first time trying a drink from here! You can definitely taste the chai which was subtle and the vanilla sweetener made it even better. Will definitely try this place again to see how their Vanilla Matcha is! Luckily there's another location near my office building where I work so might give it a try there next time. Although I do love the drive-thru only concept when on-the-go!

The place was packed with people laughing, talking stories, and just soaking in the vibe. Even with how busy it was, the place stayed clean, the line moved smooth, and the baristas were awesome the whole time. Friendly, welcoming, and still keeping the energy up late into the night. I grabbed the iced Mufawaa and a baklava roll, and both absolutely delivered. That drink gave me the perfect boost before heading up the hill to my partner's house in Cameron Park, and the baklava roll was the little sweet knockout punch I didn't know I needed. Qamaria just gets it... good drinks, good people, and somehow always the right stop when you need that extra push to finish the night.

We've brought visiting friends and family here and everybody loved it.

It was delicious, very smooth, and not too sweet. I got 75% sweetness and had almond milk in it. The inside has a cute, cozy atmosphere. I liked how open it feels too--there's a good amount of seating and it doesn't feel cramped at all, despite it being a smaller shop.

The coffee was from a pump carafe station. And it wasn't super hot, but that's how I like it. I know if I would've come with somebody else who likes it super hot they would've been a slightly disappointed by the temperature. I did get here just before noon so I'm sure the coffee might've been hotter earlier in the morning. Plenty of seating around this time of day and they provide Wi-Fi in the café. I would like to takeoff half a star only because I do think the coffee could've been warmer and also the temperature of the room was rather warm. Another customer even mentioned it when he walked in. On one hand, I'm grateful that I wasn't getting frozen like some coffee shops, but on the other hand halfway through my coffee, I felt myself sweating a little bit. However, I did not mention to anyone that my coffee was a little lukewarm and although a different customer mentioned it was a bit warm in the coffee shop. I didn't mention it. Hopefully it's not like that once we get to 100°. I would definitely come back here.
