Do you like a pretentious coffee shop in Midtown? Because I sure do! Scorpio is a beautiful modern place to get coffee and have a chat with friends. Its concrete floors, stark white walls and countertops are accented by the introduction of fluted wood elements and illuminated by gold retro-futuristic lighting. It's exactly the type of place where you expect your barista to be covered in tattoos, sporting a septum, wearing a fisherman's beanie, and goes by Storm (not an actual person there...I don't think?). Anywho, Scorpio came recommended as one of the best places to get an espresso and my cortado lived up to those expectations! It was creamy and robust with a pleasant languish. However, what surprised me was the mushroom toast! My wife and I got it as a little snack but it became the focus of our time at Scorpio. It came with oyster & shimenji mushrooms, an onsen egg, shallot aioli, and togarashi spices. I cannot begin to explain how obsessed I have become with mushroom toast since trying Scorpio's. I now make my own version at least once a month if not more! If you love a well-designed modern coffee shop with great espresso drinks then come to Scorpio. Also try one of their toasts even if it is exorbitantly expensive! read more

Drinks: I went with a friend and we got 2 matcha lattes. She ordered a drink and the cashier did not offer her alternative milk whereas I was offered that. Her drink was ok but my drink was really good. You can tell the matcha they use is quality! Service: the two ladies that I got help from was super helpful and even offered remake my friends drink, so sweet! Ambiance: it was chill, a lot of folks with laptop working and sipping their drinks. Must must try their salted cookie, the best!! read more

I'm a sucker for a quaint coffee shop and when the coffee hits, I'm even more inclined to tell everyone about it. We were there super early on a Saturday, maybe only a couple minutes after they opened so there was no wait or anything. Its a pretty cool shop with some interesting equipment for your coffee journey, and again, a delicious pull. read more

Line out the door on a Friday morning but soon we understood that it was not just hype- The coffee came out quickly and was delicious. We both got flavored iced lattes. But the real star was the food - their toasts are BEAUTIFUL and as soon as they come out, you know they're something special. We tried the avocado toast, the lox toast and the strawberry miso. Each one had excellent flavor and honestly were some of the best breakfast toasts I've ever had. I want to come back and try them all! read more

Date of Visit: 5/3/2026 We visited the Scorpio Coffee in downtown Sacramento on a Sunday noon. Scorpio was opened back in August 2020, with a clean and modern indoor space and some outdoor seating as well. We formed in line outside first and then moved inside to order at the register. Lavender Lemon Latte $7 I got the specialty drink, the lavender lemon latte. Made with Meyer lemon, Provence lavender, and espresso. Lemon spice was noticeable but the hint of lavender was too light. Oolong Tea $6 Husband ordered the milk oolong tea from Taiwan. The color of the tea was bright yellow, and the tea was great with a hint of honey. Lox Toast $17 We got the toast with cured salmon, herb cream cheese, mustard seeds, pickled red onion, and radish. The toast was crispy on the outside which was a little difficult to cut. Mushroom Toast $17 We also got the mushroom toast with oyster and shimeji mushroom, onsen egg, shallot aioli, togarashi, and on a sesame -miso sourdough. read more

Food and coffee and tea are always 10/10. If you don't like overly sweet drinks but love flavorful and unique drinks definitely come here. Great quality espresso. The food is pricey but so good so it's nice to get as a treat but definitely not a regular occurrence. Love that the toast doesn't cut up the roof of my mouth too lol. Service is always friendly. Love the indoor and outdoor seating but if it's busy you may struggle to get a table. read more

This place hands down is the definition of what a cafe should be. It's a powerhouse of deliciousness. I usually get the seasonal toast and it's phenomenal. The drinks are always changing but delicious. This last time they had a shrub on the menu and it was tasty. They use DAK as well but not for all of their coffee drinks ( think). The service is always great and friendly and it does have the best vibes. The cafe has me feeling cozy on the inside but between inside and outside I think it can seat 30 people or more. read more

Scorpio Coffee is awesome. We walked in and were instantly impressed by the layout and the cleanliness. There was a line, so we knew the coffee would be good and the crew were pumping out delicious looking coffees. We were greeted at the front of the line by a very friendly person, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. The coffee and cookie were delicious. For the amount of people ahead of us our espresso drinks were made quickly and efficiently. We can't wait to be back to Scorpio coffee to try more! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sacramento is big to kumquats. I'm a fan. I decided to treat myself today post run, and this place came highly rated on here. It did not disappoint. I was really hot after my run, so I decided to not get a coffee. I will definitely be back for the coffee though based on how my drink was. I had the kumquat soda. It was so citrusy and refreshing. I do wish I had a bigger glass of it because I downed it in 0.2 seconds. The vibes are cute and their. Their mushroom toast sounds excellent. I enjoyed that half of their pastries were cookies. Absolutely iconic of them they have like a real kitchen Which I feel like can't be said for all coffee shops. There's a fair amount of seating which I appreciated. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Looking for a really good pumpkin spice latte this fall? Head to Scorpio Coffee! I stopped by for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly. I ordered a hot pumpkin spice latte with oat milk, and it was so good. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. You can tell they use a house-made syrup, which makes all the difference. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's a nice spot to relax for a bit. Parking can be a little tricky in the area, but you can usually find free street parking on T Street or 17th Street. Definitely worth a visit if you're a pumpkin spice fan! read more

Scorpio Coffee - Hojicha latte hot and iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Tried this place out for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Their menu is interesting, with several types of tea that are pretty rare to see being offered in the US. I stuck with the matcha latte with oat milk since I wanted some caffeine. The shop was busy, but my matcha was prepared pretty quickly. I am not sure that they made it correctly, though, as I had asked for simple syrup and was unable to taste any of it. The matcha itself was not super strong and had a delicate flavor that was not too bitter. The ambience of the shop was cozy. They have lots of walls of real and fake plants, exposed wood, and seating options. However, their air conditioner is either set to a higher temperature or broken, as it was super warm in there. I came on a hot summer day and the shop felt stuffier than outside did. Overall, I would come back to try one of their specialty drinks, but I don't feel they offer anything super interesting if you're just looking for a regular tea latte. read more

A standout brunch option amongst all of its competitors in Midtown! Scorpio is a minimalist, Japandi-style coffee shop that specializes in specialty toasts as well as light (read: not the most filling, if that's what you're looking for) breakfast dishes. There can often be a pretty long wait so I took advantage of coming off night shift to show up bright and early on a weekday. Whether you're a sweet vs savory vs veggie brunch kinda person, Scorpio has an option for you. We got one of each, the strawberry miso and mushroom, both of which were fabulous! The strawberry miso was served on pillowy soft shokupan (milk bread) with toasted walnuts and ricotta and felt like more of a slightly indulgent dessert than breakfast, which I didn't mind at all. But the star of the show for me was the mushroom toast, featuring 3 diff mushroom varieties, a perfectly slow-cooked onsen egg and a delicious shallot aioli sauce-- a beautiful blend of textures and flavors. Aside from classic coffee options, they also have a menu of signature drinks including matcha and hojicha lattes along with typically one unique seasonal option (spring was the delectable-sounding bouquet lavender/rose/chamomile latte, but we unfortunately missed out). Can't wait to come back and re-order the mushroom toast as well as try their ochazuke! :) read more

I've heard so many good things about this spot but was sadly disappointed. ): We ordered an iced hojicha latte and iced matcha latte. Both sweetened with vanilla. Both underwhelming and pretty bland.

Inside is very clean and aesthetic but seating is limited. read more

I've been here several times and what I've had has been good. It's definitely expensive, but I work nearby so convenience and quality usually make up for it though for me to come back. Today was different. I ordered a pour over to go for $11 which is already a pretty crazy price for a coffee, but I do love my single origin pour overs. However, they accidentally made it to drink there instead of to go and when they poured it into a to go cup it must have gotten cold and well, the size is just unacceptable. This is the entire size of my nowcold $11 pour over. It's like 4 ounces of coffee. It tastes good, but this might be egregious enough to convince me to not come back. read more
