Talk about a pleasant surprise! 18 Grams totally blew me away…read more Judging by the outside, you'd think it's just a sleek, modern spot to grab a quick drink. But surprise! They are secretly hiding a gourmet kitchen in there. I only came for coffee, but the food envy was real the second I saw the dishes on the other tables. I ended up ordering the steak and eggs with an iced herbal tea. And what can I say? SO. GOOD. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the culinary mashup of kimchi and chimichurri was immaculate. I loved it so much I literally couldn't leave without buying a second order to-go for my mom. Yes, THAT good. This is a must-visit if you're in Sacramento. I'm already plotting my return to try their popular Vietnamese coffee.

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.

You can definitely tell coffee is where they shine. I also ended up purchasing 3 different bags of freshly roasted beans because they offer a really nice variety of coffee selections. I appreciate the customer service and willingness to receive feedback. Not every café responds with kindness or care, and that does make a difference in the overall experience. If you're a coffee lover, I can absolutely see why Temple has been around and well-loved for so long.

It's on the corner of a major intersection so it was definitely busy, and parking was a little limited when we went. The staff were really nice and patient with my dog, and even though the line looked long outside, everything moved pretty quickly. I was able to order and get my pastry and matcha fast which was nice. They were also really dog friendly and brought Bailey a water bowl plus a pup cup which she loved. I tried the new Sunny Side Matcha and honestly really liked it -- creamy, refreshing, and not too sweet. I also got the cinnamon raisin cinnamon roll. It wasn't really my favorite since it wasn't heated up and they don't have an oven to warm pastries, but it was still fun to try. Overall a really cute coffee spot to hang out at with your pup.

We came in here after a meeting with clients. I am so glad we stumbled upon this place…read more Inside, it was clean and bright with some gentle music playing setting the tone for a relaxing lunch. They have a small but unique menu and were willing to make a few small modifications to the dishes we ordered. I ordered the locks and cream cheese bagel that was beautifully presented with capers and thin sliced red onion on top. It was perfectly balanced for flavors and absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the baked brie sandwich. It came with thinly sliced apple, which perfectly balanced with the brie along with some arrugalula. My wife said this was the best brie sandwich she had ever had. They have several gourmet coffee and espresso drinks along with a beautiful selection of croissants and pastries. My wife is already planning on making this one of our regular spots. Welcome.If you're in the area, you should definitely give this place a try.It was very refreshing.

I ordered an iced oat milk latte with their homemade honey sweetener and an almond croissant. I wanted to try more of their food menu, but their kitchen does not officially open until 10 AM and I was there too early. The service was friendly and attentive. I was the only customer in there at the time, but it was nice to hear a little bit of their backstory. The space is clean and modern and definitely the sort of coffee shop. I would want to hang out and spend some time in. As for what I ordered, the latte was creamy and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The almond croissant had a slightly overpowering almond extract flavor to it. If the almond extract was toned down a little bit, it would've been perfect. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food menu at another time.

For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix. The café is open for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM, so be sure to come early. The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home.

Most of the time, I forget those things. It was a nice surprise, they included those things. Wonderful service! It's the thoughtful little things that make a business standout than all the rest. I've tried a variety of their pastries and desserts. They all pretty good. I really like their strawberry cream croissant. I think that one is my favorite.
