    This is going to sound like such an odd review but my husband and I came in Sunday for a quick coffee and cookie on our way to meet with friends. We put the cookie in our fridge because neither of us were able to get to it, here we are 3 days later and I don't know about you but we are cookie fans. We didn't want to let this go to waste unless it was needed. Here I am, at work, opening my lunch to enjoy lunch and my cookie. WOW WOW WOW!!! This cookie is amazing. It's so fresh and moist days later. It has huge pieces of dark chocolate, bits of walnuts and flakey sea salt on top. This is one of the best desserts I've had in Sacramento.

    Cappuccino

    It felt like walking into an art studio. Minimalistic decor. Even the bathroom is sleek. Artsy staff and patrons. The matcha latte was strong. Bold. The cappuccino was bitter. I couldn't taste the roast. 7/10.

    Ricotta hot honey and pear toast
    Nirnaya L.

    We ordered oat milk cappuccinos, coffee cake, chocolate chip walnut cookie and ricotta honey and pear toast and they were all so delicate and perfect level of sweetness. Highly recommend it. There was no wait and we were served immediately. Such a calm and zen coffee place.

    Very busy and bustling upon entering the store. Super crowded with people enjoying their food, in line, and waiting for their drinks. We waited in line for about 10-12 minutes and 5-7 minutes for our drinks. Speedy ordering process, workers work very efficiently! As they took our orders they passed cups to the baristas to make them. In turn, they weren't as friendly or chatty. The Matcha latte is very traditional tasting, not too sweet. Nothing too special either, pricey for the size in my opinion. The Orange Mocha is yummy!! The flavor of the clementine is highly refreshing, not too citrusy nor overpowering. There's a nice balance between the chocolatey mocha and orange flavor. I would definitely get this again! The ice to drink ratio was really good too. Just enough to keep the drink cold and strong espresso shots. The decor is very modern, nice greenery, beautiful soft lighting, and minimalist decor. I love how clean the entire store was, inviting. Both indoor and outdoor seating available, however all pretty close knit. Not much privacy or space in between. Overall, good coffee, quick service, and clean environment! Busy and on the nosy side, more of a socializing atmosphere rather than a study cafe.

    Super cute zen-themed cafe on S and 16th that's tailored for a solo/duo experience. The interior appears spotless and has a modernized dojo look to it. I dropped by on a Thursday afternoon to successfully finish some online to-dos with minimal distractions. The Rosella Tea comes filled up in a large corked bottle for only $5, something rather unheard of for a Midtown coffee shop. It's a hibiscus tea with a mildly sweet yet surprising aftertaste. Excellent choice of a warm non-caffeinated beverage for a breezy day. I wish they had bigger tables so that I could stop by with a couple friends next time. While I appreciate the simplicity of the seated counters and creativity of the wall-mounted round tables, the seating arrangements can only comfortably accommodate a group of two. I'll be back on my own though.

    Pumpkin spiced latte | Ochazuke
    Abby C.

    This spot is a cute Japanese-inspired cafe! My first time here, I immediately left because there was no seating at all; so this was my second time around. I ordered the hot pumpkin spiced latte and the ochazuke. The ochazuke was SO GOOD and warm-- great for the gloomy weather we've been having in Sacramento recently. It's made up of koshihikari rice, flaked salmon, wakame, and hot tea dashi. The pumpkin spiced latte had beautiful artwork and was really good as well. I'd say their PSL is much more spice forward, and I'm glad I got to try it before PSL season is over. There's indoor and outdoor seating, but they fill up pretty fast. To snag a seat, I either recommend coming early, or at a slow period (unless you just get lucky). I love the Japanese art wall they have on the side of their building! Great photo op. Overall would come back again just for that ochazuke.

    My dynamic duo of espressos

    This place is a gem of a coffee (and more) shop in Midtown. It's a small space, but packs a big punch in terms of coffee and other beverages, as well as some really nice food options. They also serve matcha, baristas are frequently seen preparing it with a bamboo whisk. On the coffee side of things, where I'm focusing, they have a high end Weber Workshops EG-1 grinder for the special beans, as well as a small army of NextLevel Pulsar drippers (a home favorite of mine) for pourover, but it was the espresso that I was here for on my visit. They feature coffees from some of the world's premier roasters, and on mu visit, it was one from DAK in Amsterdam, and Regalia in NYC. I sampled a straight shot of both, with a sparkling water palate cleanser. The DAK offering was called "The Alchemist" and featured notes of tropical fruits and cocoa in a natural process bean. Not too funky, it was a very nice cup, but it was the El Jardin Regalia that stole the show for me, with a very pleasant lingering winey note that brought a big smile to my face. On a second visit in as many days, I picked up a Cafec Deep 27 pourover dripper and used it to make some great pourover at my family's home. The baristas are very friendly and love to chat about their coffees. Seating is fairly minimalist and the place is jumping most of the time, so be prepared to get cozy with the other guests. Overall, this is a great place to have specialty coffee, and a snack or light meal. It's (so far) my favorite Sacramento area coffee shop.

    Stopped by and really enjoyed everything we ordered. The ricotta cheese toast was delicious--fresh, creamy, and perfectly balanced with flavor in every bite. The coffee was just as good, smooth and rich without being too strong. Great quality food and drinks, plus a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

    Visited at 5pm for a 5pm-7pm dinner pop-up, and took the opportunity to try some teas and wine while we waited the hour before chefs were ready to start taking orders at 6pm. Staff seemed friendly but frazzled, and seating for groups larger than 2 were slim (though if you brave the outdoors, it seemed like you could push tables together). I'm always a little disappointed by loose leaf teas that don't come in a tea pot, which feels like losing out on the fragrance and experience of the tea, and because we ordered two different ones, the person who brought them to us couldn't tell us which was which. They were above average teas, but for a cafe, service left a lot to be desired. For the meal itself, we ordered three of the same beef noodle soup with an appetizer. All soups came out at different times, and the appetizer cucumber salad actually came out last (when we were largely done with our entrees). Again, I totally understand this is primarily a coffee and wine bar, but service left a lot to be desired. Chef Harold's Taiwanese inspired beef noodle soup was lacking ... soup. But braised beef was tender. I did enjoy the staff suggestion for a sparkling red wine - delicious, and I would venture back to Scorpio for coffee and wine. But skip the teas and the pop-ups - especially if you're coming in a group, because the music was loud and it was pretty tough to converse.

    Mushroom toast and Hojicha latte
    Lory A.

    Arguably the most consistent when it comes to coffee. Consistently amazing no matter how long the line is. You won't see lines of artificial syrup but you will see quality coffee beans, and beautiful latte art. Scorpio Coffee is for the true coffee lovers, snobs, and enthusiasts! Limited seating but if you can snag a seat, great vibes and gorgeous natural lighting. Also very interesting food menu that if you're feeling outside of the box, is worth trying.

    5 shining stars for the food. 3 stars for the expensive prices & small portions. I think we spent between $30-$40 for 2 drinks & two breakfast items & I wasn't full. Or was I not supposed to be? Maybe it was designed to be snack portions but my assumptions was it's a breakfast spot. Still, that doesn't stop me from coming because their items are consistently good over my past 3 or 4 visits. What I think what sets this place apart from other coffee shops is that the drinks & food items have unique Japanese ingredients in them. They are all very aesthetically pleasing & the environment is atypical in that its very simple, natural & visually uncluttered. I usually get the muesli for $12 which is the creamiest raw oatmeal I've ever had & its topped with pretty, colorful edible flowers, seasonal fruit & tastes super rich even though it's healthy. They serve other food items like toast, my fave being mushroom toast (just 1 slice!) for $16 and way too expensive IMHO. It's topped with oyster & shimenji mushrooms, onsen egg, shallots aioli & togarashi and it's pure deliciousness. They also have the avocado toast (which I think is just average), lox, & strawberry miso toast. They contain unique ingredients like shokupan, umeboshi & citrus yuzu kosho & range from $12-$17. My favorite drink is a small, creamy, soothing cup of hojicha latte for $6.5. They also have mugicha mizudashi (that I wanna try), and a rosella that has hibiscus for $5. They also have a seasonal pumpkin latte, chai, matcha, mocha, cappuccino all ranging from $5-7. The most expensive drink being a bottled flash brew that contains Finco Milan & is a whopping $21! The vibe here is quiet & chill. Everytime I come there's patrons quietly busy tapping on their laptops on their x-small- small sized tables. There's an outdoor area to sit at which may be better suited for those who want to chat on their phones or converse with their cafe buddy. Despite prices, I enjoy coming here every once in a while & suggest checking it out sometime for their unique drinks & yummy food. Just don't expect your tummy to get full.

    What a wonderful cafe. absolutely love visiting this place. Their chai latte is simply fantastic: smooth, pleasantly spiced and creamy without being heavy. I look forward to it every time. The matcha is okay -- solid, but it doesn't quite wow me like the chai does. And then there's the toast: wow. It's amazing. Perfectly crisp on the edges, soft inside, topped in a way that is just sweet in the best sense of the word. It's my favorite thing on the menu right now. In short: if you go, definitely get the chai latte and toast together -- you won't be disappointed. The matcha is a decent backup if you're feeling green-tea-vibes, but for me the highlight is all about that sweet, talented toast + chai combo.

    Matcha latte and mocha
    Kim T.

    Stopped by Sunday morning before the line got long. There is street parking available and some nearby parking structures. I would say this place wouldn't be the best to hangout with big groups because the seating areas are quite small. The tables seemed like they would be better for max groups of 3-4. Service was quick and friendly. After you order your drink, you wait on the side to pick it up. If you are getting food to eat at the cafe, they will bring it out to you. I ordered the matcha latte and it was okay. Since I got it with oatmilk, the matcha powder didn't mix as well with the milk so there were some small clumps. My favorite item was the mushroom toast. I am a big mushroom lover so this was amazingggg. The mushrooms were tender and paired well with the poached egg. I got to try a bite of my friend's avocado toast and the yuzu salt took it a notch up. I would definitely come back for the toast and try a different drink next time.

    Will you guys be open on Monday 1/1/2024?

    Per their IG post, they will be open 9a-4p.

    Is there dairy free milk options available?

    Oat milk

    Is there easy access to outlets for the seating if I wanted to work here for a few hours?

    I believe that the outlets are under the seats. I've seen people work at the shop.

    Is the matcha glazed banana bread still served here?

    Unfortunately not on our current menu rotation. Right now for pastries, we have a chocolate chip walnut cookie & coffee cake muffin.

This hidden gem offers an experience that's unlike anything else in the city. The setup is simple but charming: you literally walk up to a window and order your wine. I believe it's one ring for white, two for red, and three or four for sparkling--don't quote me on that, but it adds a playful, old-world vibe that makes the whole experience memorable. The Wine Window is affordable, laid-back, and surprisingly quaint. It's the kind of place where the ambiance, the people, and the energy make it feel more like an experience within an experience--not just a drink stop. I had the chance to chat with John, the owner, who shared a bit of the backstory. He previously owned a full wine room nearby, but when the pandemic hit, he had to pivot. Instead of calling it quits, he leaned into a smaller, more intimate concept inspired by wine windows in Europe. Honestly, I think the scale makes it even better. The outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while people-watching on L Street, and yes, there's even a restroom available (a rare but very appreciated amenity for this type of setup). If you find yourself downtown, do yourself a favor--swing by The Wine Window, have a chat with John, and enjoy a unique Sacramento experience.
