The friendly owner pouring my Turkish coffee from this beautiful, authentic pitcher
Darryl K.

Friendly, warm owner and service + EXCELLENT Turkish coffee + all kinds of other coffee + unique and delicious afghani pastries + a relaxing, warm vibe and atmosphere with authentic and beautiful Afghani artifacts like the hand-woven wall-hanging Afghani rug I'm posting as a picture all make this place punch above its weight - a GREAT upgrade from chain store coffee. When I asked, they taught me how to say good morning in Farsi and them gave me a free baklava out of goodwill. I'll be back!

Food

Really like this surprisingly find. My second visit - just as good as the last. Chicken roll, special oat latte, Carmel macchiato, tiramasu, and pomegranate role

Some food items

A coworker and I were looking for a coffee and saw that they were doing a soft opening so thought we would check it out. There are quite a few places to relax and loved the decorations. There were two other people in the restaurant waiting for food. The cases were about half full. We had to wait about 10 minutes to order as they were a little behind making some waffles. I ordered a Turkish coffee and looked over the food options but since they were so behind I just got the coffee. My coworker got the pistachio latte. It took another 5 minutes to get our orders. We sat at a table while we waited.

Cute cafe that has strong, Turkish coffee, and pastries. Haven't tried the food though. Service was great, the ladies at the counter were patient and helpful answering all our questions! They don't have decaf coffee or tea options, but they have other fruity drinks.

Turkish Coffee

Such a beautiful hidden gem in Sac! The atmosphere at Shahmaran Cafe is cozy and beautiful, and the service was amazing! I tried the Turkish coffee, pistachio cake, and a white chocolate latte, and everything was delicious. The pistachio cake was light, creamy, and definitely my favorite! I also loved the traditional presentation of the Turkish coffee. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

This place was such a pleasant surprise! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance pulls you in -- beautifully decorated inside and out with picturesque displays that are definitely Yelp-photo worthy. Plenty of seating, a clean bathroom, and an overall warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Now let's talk food... the chicken shawarma? Absolutely chef's kiss. Tender, flavorful, and easily the star of the meal. The coffee was rich and satisfying, and the crepes were packed with flavor and generously portioned. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. They did seem a little young and slightly inexperienced at times, but their friendly customer service and positive energy more than made up for it. The only minor downside was noticing crumbs on a few of the seats, but aside from that, the restaurant was clean, enjoyable, and somewhere I'd happily return to. Definitely worth checking out!

Stopped by while on the road and this place was delicious. The workers were very friendly and the place itself is beautiful. Waffles were amazing and the latte I had was delicious (pistachio latte). They have free WiFi so you can work and enjoy their food and coffee drinks. If I was a local, I'd definitely be back!! Oh, and their restroom was nice and clean!!!

Cute layout and decoration!!!! Super friendly barista There's a lot of culture here and they are kind of in a soft opening phase so there are more culture drinks to come. Lots of good sweets and lotsssss of seating! Great place to hangout or study

Poppy seed muffin

I've been here a few times over the last month or so. The inside of the coffee shop is absolutely beautiful. It's spacious and it doesn't matter where you sit because there's always something visually appealing near by. The coffee is great and genuinely tastes good. Good if you like the flavor of coffee but not too sweet. I've had a few food items as well like the poppy seed muffin and the chicken shawarma wrap. Both were really good. Like thinking about it the next day good. The man and woman I've spoke to who work there are both very nice. The woman was able to make some coffee recommendations for me the first time I was there which was super helpful. I'm looking forward to returning and continuing to support a local business!

Great atmosphere great customer service. The Biscoff was amazing It was beyond good. Lots of room for meetings, chai tea was good ( I had to add sugar ) I will come back indeed for the atmosphere and Biscoff. Please try this place out you will not be disappointed. Milk cake and baklava was also good.

Cute photo op swing!
Openn K.

Such a cute place and really comfortable! Had the latte (oat milk) and it was perfect. My friend got the Turkish coffee and it was served traditionally and was really good. The chai was just as good! Waffles and baklava delicious! Definitely going back.

Met the owner on a late Sunday night. She is so kind and eager to share great food in a fun setting. Parking was easy in a little plaza. Once you step inside, you immediately notice the big moon wall and lots of comfy, cute seating. We ordered at the right side of the counter and sat in the outer room in the far left because of the umbrellas and lounges! I highly recommend a pot of tea for a bougie experience. The cheese pastry was soft and the crepe was so filling even when shared. We have big hopes for this business and look forward to bringing our families to enjoy a proper breakfast spread under the lovely sunlight.

After a walk by the river, we were looking for a place close to home to grab a coffee or something to drink as we weren't quite ready to head home. After a quick search, we landed on Shahmaran Cafe, as we prefer outdoor seating and they appeared to have it. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed and offered a menu. The person working the counter was very helpful with answering questions about the items on display. The indoor space was spacious, bright and clean. The outdoor space is also equally welcoming and calming. There's a running water fountain, fun umbrellas, and a relaxing atmosphere. We absolutely loved sitting outside and applaud the resourcefulness in the decor. We ordered at the counter, paid and the items were brought out to us. We had: Rosehip tea pot to share Shahmaran Latte with oatmilk Chicken Shawarma Tiny bite of baklava (~$35 for all of it) All of it was delicious. The tea was absolutely lovely, so much so that I vowed then to come back immediately (and did!). The coffee was fantastic and the cups they're served in feel nice on the hand. The presentation of the items made it feel like an experience, to sit and drink our tea calmly, and enjoy our conversation. The owner checked on us to make sure all was well, and made us feel welcome. She mentioned they haven't been open long, but I have a feeling they'll be here for time to come. I will continue to come here as it is my most local coffee shop, and invite you all to check it out.

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always. Thanks, guys, for a great start to a day of farmers market venturing (right next door).

Did not finish it. The eggs were the highlight which isnt a reach. My fiance ordered the tomato and eggs and there was too much garlic in it where it was overpowering.

Probably some of the best hash browns I've ever had. I ordered the steak and eggs, and even for your average American breakfast steak, this thing was DELICIOUS. It didn't taste frozen or cheap it tasted fresh, was cooked perfectly, and was just pure deliciousness. Raul was our server and was awesome. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Somebody needs to give Raul a raise and while you're at it, give the chef one too because whoever is back there cooking clearly knows what the hell they're doing. Excuse the picture I got way too excited and started destroying the food before I remembered I wanted to leave a review. Halfway through breakfast I thought, "Damn, I should probably take a picture of this." I'll do better next time, because there WILL definitely be a next time. Highly recommend ROC & SOL Diner. Phenomenal food, great service, and absolutely worth the stop.

I liked that after a table is used then they sweep around it and really clean it and put a sanitized sign on it. We happened to be there before 6 pm so got a few happy hour special prices. Now to reason we stopped by, the food. We loved the artichoke dip, so cheezy. The fried chicken was delicious and moist. The biscuits and Mac and cheese were great as well. They even make their own dressing and I loved the dill ranch, yum! We saved room for dessert and loved the banana cream pudding with homemade whipped cream. Delicious!

Dear Fixins' Team,…read more We had a great experience at your restaurant last night. My friends and I ( industry professionals ourselves) were out for a friend date, and Cheri was our server.

Cheri checked on us timely and kept our drinks filled even after we paid the check. She also made sure we all had to-go bags tailored to our needs. The food was fantastic as well: - I had the sides (beans and rice, collard greens, and potato salad) along with a cornbread muffin to go. - Olive loved the shrimp and grits, as well as the cornbread muffins. And had another to go. - Dude had the fried chicken breast plate with mac & cheese and grits, which was basically two meals. Thank you for a wonderful evening and great service! Best regards, Ace

The waffle was perfectly balanced, crispy and savory, topped with fresh avocado, thin radish slices, and pickled onions! WHICH I AM NOW OBSESSED WITH! That added the perfect pop of flavor. And the Rose coffee was a not only beautiful but rich in flavor. It was smooth, lightly floral, and finished with the prettiest latte art that made it almost too pretty to drink.
