    Pronounced: Safah Cafay. Parking: 2 hours street parking (need to move xar), else paid parking garage 2 blocks away from the cafe. Restroom: 1, clean decent Ambiance: old Thai kopitiam spot with nostalgic ornaments This place is popular amongst office workers. Opening hours is limited: mostly up from 8am- 2:30pm, only Thurs and Fri: opened again from 3pm-6pm. Sat-Sun only opened: 10am-2pm. Recommended: Kai Gata: all day classic Thai street breakfast Hainan Hustle: classic Hainanese chicken rice Drinks: Pandan cold brew Latte (not on menu-asked) Herbal lemongrass It seems they mainly stock their more popular items, so some of the less popular options aren't consistently available. It has DJ for certain occassions, due to limited space, they set it up outdoor, by the patio. Service: friendly, decent speed I recommend this place for folks looking for nostalgic old town comfort foods. EDIT: Their IG informed to pronounce it as "safah cafay", but the owner informed that my review is incorrectly pronounce it as "safah cafay" (?)

    Located in downtown and close to the office, we decided to check it out. We got there around 12:30 and they were already out of some stuff. You start by ordering at the counter and then find a seat. We tried to order the kai gata but they ran out of the roll and offered regular toast. Since I was not a fan of eating it with regular toast, I asked if they had rice, they said no, but offered porridge. This porridge was not like any porridge that I have had and I've been to Thailand and had porridge. The consistency was more like oatmeal. Not a fan. We got the Pork Pops and Hainan Hustle which were both very good. For drinks, I got the Nam Krajeab (Roselle Juice), which was very refreshing. I like the fact that it was not too sweet. Ordering was simple but the delivery was a little chaotic. Some folks received a number and some didn't; we didn't. There were 2-3 servers that continued to walk around with food not knowing who or where to deliver it to. At one point, they tried to deliver the same dish to us twice. I felt bad for the servers, they were doing their best with what little info they had to go one. They have one big table for a group but the rest of the tables is mainly for a single, double or up to 4 diners. Street parking only. Love their support against ICE, will continue to support this business for that reason, alone!

    There is indoor and outdoor dining available. Cute interior and cute waitress/ busser, who I assume is the young daughter of owner. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. I went with the sukhumvit sunrise wrap. The sai oua (sausage) within was flavorful and the roti was flaky. I'm happy with what I ordered. I'll have to come back to try the bak kut teh (pork rib soup). I've had it once in Singapore and this is my first time finding a place that serves it.

    I personally give it a 5/5 but my partner didn't like it so much so whatever ~ I have been wanting to try this spot out for a while so excited when we have a free day to come check it out. Parking is not too bad, there's a decent amount of street parking . We were lucky to find a spot almost instantly. The vibe is quite cute inside and you order and pay at the counter before sitting down. I definitely had to get the pandan latte. It wasn't super sweet so I did like it but I've been into like cold foam lately so idk maybe a bit of that would have been better but that's fine. I got myself a sunrise wrap because the reviews were hyping it up and I was not disappointed. It is literally so good. I love the roti wrap it's so flaky and add a great texture. The side salad was a good touch because the acidity make the dish more interesting. I enjoy the little sauce that came with it and pour it all over the wrap. It's somehow so simple yet so comforting. Highly recommend. Of course I got a kaya toast because how else would you end a meal. It was the perfect choice. Not too sweet but just the right chef kiss amount. Ugh I'm upset my partner took half. He did not really like his kai gata unfortunately. So this so similar to a Viet breakfast dish but the difference is the meat. And it was a bit light on seasoning for us but they did bring out some chili oil. This one also took a bit more time to come out. Just a heads up. Overall the service was fine, food will take time depend on what you get, but I like the menu a lot of some stuff are definitely worth getting. The price is also quite fair as well so you can get a bunch of different things!

    Coffee and menu

    It was morning and needed a coffee and found this place nearby so I went in. It has a cool vibe with a southeast Asian menu, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.. The coffee was good and they had a small selection of breakfast items that were pretty good. It looks like they have a separate bar area and a street food style small bite menu for lunch and evenings. I think this place would be a good place to come back to.

    Kai gata

    We came for brunch on a Saturday after going to the farmers' market since we were looking for a dog-friendly place. Cute interior and exterior. We got the indochine deli board, the Kai gata, dipper's delight and the coffee. Our favorite was the pate and pork on the indochine deli board -it was like a deconstructed banh mi. The fancy pork and roast pork were delicious with the pate. The cucumbers and picked carrot/daikon were refreshing to lighten the savory pork flavor. Everything else was solid-we'd consider stopping by again next time we're in the area.

    Special: cloud matcha (coconut water w/ matcha)

    Consistently great experience each visit. Their drinks, food, ambiance, and staff, all of it, amazing. It's a cute quiet place to work in the mornings. I need to go during one of their evening events to check it out later in the day. But I've had their cloud matcha (refreshing) and pork pops with sticky rice (sooo mouth watering-must eat with hands ). Just recently, I ordered their kai gata - meats and egg dish. All the meat juices and eggs simmered together -mouth watering. I love the touch of white pepper on it!! The baguette I got with it was crazy good too with a crunchy exterior and super soft inside!! *Eyes rolling back* And, every time I visit, I must get the kaya butter toast because Pandan. Duh! I'll need to find friends to bring for their large shared plates. Or just come really hungry one day I want to learn majong too, so I might check out their majong night sometime. It's a cute local spot serving allll the goods - drinks, food, and vibes. Definitely worth checking out. Thank you, always!

    I think Sapha Kafae appeared in my Yelp feed because I had searched for Kaya Toast while I was in Hong Kong and Malaysia recently. That's the magic of Yelp algorithm, I'm guessing! Sapha Kafae is a family-owned cafe and brunch spot near the State Capitol on the corner of O and 14th Street. It has a big eye-catching wall mural on the exterior and you can't miss it. Street parking nearby and don't forget to feed those meters. The interior has a laid-back vibe with a bar tugged in the corner. We wanted to try everything on the menu because the ingredients sounds amazing! For this visit, I had Kai Gata, popular Thai street breakfast with eggs, savory meats cooked in a personal skillet serve with warm baguette. There is something about eating from a personal skillet that just elevate the experience. It was savory and filling! I enjoyed it thoroughly. We shared the Kaya Toast (A Must!). This is another popular breakfast or after school snack from Singapore and Malaysia. It's equivalent to a Peanut Butter Toast in US. Nostalgic for me. Nicely toasted with a good amount of Kaya and warm! We also shared the Pork Pops (Moo Ping), grilled pork skewers that's nicely marinated and comes with addicting dipping sauce serve with sticky rice. My son loved it and I thought it was okay for me. My son had the Hainan Hustle (Khao Mun Gai) with tendered poached skinless chicken, infused rice, comforting broth and savory ginger sauce. He finished the entire dish wiped cleaned! He loved it. I tried a piece of the chicken and it was flavorful. As for specialty drinks. I like the Black Thai with expresso, Thai tea and condensed milk. A balance of strong coffee that's mildly sweeten. We expected the Pandan Cold Brew to be greenish but it was made as a Cold Brew with Pandan flavoring? because it was like sweeten black coffee. We asked the owner and he happily added milk foam on top. That was very kind of him. Tim, the owner checked on us and told us about the place that he owed with his wife, Gift. I was happy to find out that they have Mahjong Night on the last Thursday of the month. I plan to be there if I can make it and try other dishes. I'm happy to see more fusion menu items with laid back vibe spot like this in Sacramento. Go out and support our local small business!

    We love sapha, we've been here a few times now and it's such a fun unique spot in Sac. Family owned small business, service is always great, we love the variety in the menu and all of the fun specials they come up with. The food is always spectacular, come try this place!

    This cafe is incredibly unique, serving authentic Asian breakfast items and drinks. Everything was delicious, the decor was so cute and cozy, and the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming!

    4.5! Stopped by this spot for a bite and tried their Kai Gata which is one of their classic Thai street breakfast options! This dish came in a hot skillet with different savory meats that went well with their fresh, warm baguette. I ordered their pandan cold brew but they were out that day so they turned it into a latte instead. The flavor is nice but I think as a cold brew it would have been extra refreshing. Their cute setting is great for enjoying the food and their other menu options def make me wanna go back to try more! Service was very nice and quick.

    Moo ping
    Bebe P.

    Hidden gem in downtown Sac! Drinks were refreshing~ I got the nam kra jeab, iced Milo drink and chicken rice-- making me feel like i was eating in Thailand. My friend got moo ping which was also tasty. Although there was only two people working at the time (husband and wife), they were very fast and got me in and out within an hour-- but of course, with the cuteness of the space, you'd probably want to stay and hang longer. The owner is also very friendly which makes the space very inviting!

    We went for lunch and it was so good. We had the BBQ Pork Sandwich, Pork Pops, and the Dipper's Delight and drinks Iced White Mocha, Thai Tea, and Strawberry Matcha. Looking forward to trying more items!

You can either order with the staff or they have a kiosk to order from as well. Staff is super friendly! They let me taste their teas to see what I would like for my tea base drinks. Coffe drinks I tried: 1) Durian coffee -this was one the THE BEST variation of durian coffee that I've tried - liked that the blended the durian flavor in the cream foam and included pieces of fruit -the smell isn't over baring and just enough flavor mixed into the coffee where you don't feel duped, but has a well balance coffee to durian taste 2) Egg coffee -a solid egg coffee!! Would recommend 3) Coconut coffee -this is a blended ice drink -I typically like coconut Vietnamese coffee, however this wasn't the best variation I have as I did wish it was a little sweeter 4) Taro coffee -rather than a cream top like some of their other drinks, this was more of taro paste with bits in the Vietnamese coffee -it wasn't too sweet so had a stronger coffee taste Tea bases: -was told they seep their tea for about 8 hours to give it that strong flavor ! -green tea - usually not a green tea person when it comes to boba drinks (only by itself) since at times the fruit flavor over mask the tea but this place makes it potent -black tea - they say this one it not popular which is a bummer cause I love black tea -herbal tea- good flavor -jasmine - didn't get to try this tea base but I am sure it taste just as good as the others 1) Peach green tea -beyond refreshing! -loved the fruit bits and peach sliced in the drink 2) Lychee green tea -lychee fruit and lychee jelly included! -Loved the strong tea taste with the fruitiness Pandan waffle Durian waffle -both of these were delicious, good flavor and best right away while it is hot! Overall: One of the best Vietnamese coffee places in the area that I enjoy going to. Quality drinks that do not disappoint.

    Lovely Vietnamese cafe!…read more We ordered an egg coffee and banana matcha, both good. The interior and seating are cute with a few options to sit. The design is old fashioned yet modern with a digital ordering interface. While the banana matcha was not my taste, the egg coffee was great! The coffee was strong yet good with a pandan waffle side! I anticipated staying up all night and did. This is for those who drink espresso or ca phe sua regularly. The tasty waffle helped balance the caffeine a little. The bathroom is cute and decorated with so much aesthetic, but the downside is no toilet seat covers.

A cute outside patio and plenty of room to sit inside. I got the Pink Chai and my friend and i took our drinks to a park down the street which really set the scene: spring day in the park with a friend and a great beverage. The drink was very hot, which ended up being perfect because I had to enjoy it slowly. The flavor profile was subtle and well balanced, not overpowering or too sweet. I'm a big fan of cardamom and pistachio, so getting both in one drink felt like a win, and they worked beautifully together. The pistachio added a nice, nutty finish. I don't distinctly remember tasting the fennel, but it may have been part of what made the overall flavor feel so smooth. I guess I'll just have to come back and order it again. All in all, Qisa was a treat. Im planning on moving in a few months and started looking at apartment listings near by that would allow me to come to Qisa more often. Highly recommend!
