    Came for the first time! My drink was really good and loved the sandwich! Will be back soon for a savory grilled cheese

    So glad I found out about this spot because it is so tasty and feels like a hidden gem in Del Paso. The interior is decorated nicely and they have a good amount of seating inside, as well as seating outside in a courtyard area. I ordered a classic (build your own) sandwich with smokey cheddar and provolone and a side of their tomato soup. The sandwich and soup went perfect together and were a great lunch. The worker was very nice and answered questions I had, and also gave me some recommendations for next time. Will be back!

    Came in to have a coffee and study on Sunday morning. Vibes were warm and so was the yummy coffee. Super friendly staff, appreciated the welcoming nature you could feel walking in. It was very lively as customers came and went. I just plugged my headphones in and stayed probably longer than I should've (couple hours) but I was able to get some studying and homework done and no one gave me a hard time about it. thank you!!! I will be back because I need to try the food next.

    Was craving a grilled cheese sandwich and landed on this spot. Of course I had to get my morning brew as well. They have some cool, old school retro decor and a penny table! Love the car theme! Please note: street parking Drinks: Vietnamese nitro coffee -not your traditional Vietnamese coffee except for the condensed milk aspect. It had a light bubbly/airy texture and taste, compliments to the nitro brew. It was still pretty good but don't expect traditional bold taste of a Vietnamese coffee. Pistachio mocha -Mind blowing and delicious, definitely a different pistachio profile than what I've tried before. Sandwiches: Bay Area brisket -quite delicious and juicy which paired well with the stretchy cheese, don't forget to pull Squealer -great mix of flavors with the added crunch from the slaw -pulled pork was perfect Overall: great place to try a hardy grilled cheese or get a cup of joe!

    Great coffee. Nice decor with the shift references (auto, tech, etc). Tucked away among what looked like other shops with available parking in front. Also this place really partners/supports local businesses and has products from those businesses on display for purchase (bread loaves, honey, etc). Very nice customer service too!

    The BEST grilled cheese sandwich you will ever have! I have been coming to this coffee shop for years and have never been let down by their amazing sandwiches. My favorite is Da Philly, which is a Philly cheese steak turned into a grilled cheese sandwich. Drinks are delicious! I am a huge fan of their latte's, especially the O.D.Bee. They also have some seasonal/holiday drink menus by the register. This place is decorated with automobile racing paraphernalia from wall to wall, which makes it a unique place! Parking for this location can be a bit difficult at times as most of it is street parking.

    Shift as a great coffee house! There is a huge selection of different kinds of coffees and the environment has very unique vibes to it. The 'Shift' name comes from their main theme of cards and racing. Inside the cafe are all sorts of racing inspired memorabilia and regalia. It's all very tastefully done and doesn't come off as too much or an eyesore. Besides coffee, Shift specializes in a huge variety of grilled cheese sandwiches. I've NEVER seen a selection of grilled cheese sandwiches like this before. There are so many to choose from with different and varied ingredients. You can select a breakfast version, a savory brunch style, and even sweeter grilled cheeses. On my visit to Shift I went with a group of four so we had the opportunity to try a sample of different sandwiches. If you like a mix of sweet and savory, the peanut butter, bacon, jelly one is surprisingly good. That one probably was the most eye opening one. The grilled cheeses sandwiches are filling. We ended up asking them to cut them in quarters so we could all try the different styles. They were totally ok with this request so we had a great time sampling everything. The coffees we got were very nice. My friends loved their tiramisu cold coffee that was a special that day. I'm not sure how well coffee and grilled cheese sandwiches pair together with each other, but Shift somehow makes it work. It's a very enjoyable eating experience!

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile because I love grilled cheese. I was in the area so decided to stop in. The ambiance is fun with retro style and car theme. Good place to work and meet up with a friend! I got the capitol sunrise breakfast grilled cheese and it was ok, but not amazing. I also felt the same way about the peppermint latte which was a December special. The service was great, the gals working there were sweet & kind! Otherwise, I would say this place is just average, 3-star. I don't think I'd drive out of the way for this, but if I'm in the area again, I'd try another grilled cheese since there are many!

    Came in for some coffee and grilled cheese! Their chai latte was amazing. Not too watered with milk and just enough chai. Their grilled cheese is solid, nothing too special. Got cheese and bacon in mine and I enjoyed! Love their car shop decor they have. It's giving vintage and they also provide wifi to do some work while you're there.

    I felt a little rushed to decided and ended up okay. The atmosphere is cutsie right up my alley. I enjoyed my Cold Brew ( should offer refill) when dining in. My grilled cheese the brisket Grill cheese was tasty you wanna go and experience for yourself.

    Cute decor!

    Cute car-themed cafe, nice outdoor seating, friendly quick service We stopped in for coffee, and were delighted with their non-dairy add-ins. The flat white was a tasty brew, and we liked the creamy oat-milk, and we also could have chosen almond milk. They have fun with the racing-theme, including Steve McQueen's famous "salute" from the Le Mans film. After a day walking around Old Sacramento by the river, we doubled back here for more, to refill for the drive back to SF! Spacious interior, several outdoor tables. Lot's of great-looking food options for next time.

    I was initially drawn to Shift Coffee House because of their grilled cheese sandwiches, but once I looked at the rest of the menu, I knew I had to try something a little different. I ended up ordering the PBB&J sandwich--yes, peanut butter, jelly, cheddar, mozzarella, and bacon. I had never seen anything like it before and wasn't sure what to expect... but WOW. It was a surprisingly delicious flavor combo that just worked! My friend got the Carrera sandwich with a side of tomato soup, which I also tried with my PBB&J--and let me tell you, that soup elevates everything. Super flavorful and cozy. On top of that, I had one of their sparkling lemonades with cold foam (recommended by the sweetest team member, Kaylee--hope I'm spelling that right!). She was so kind, helpful, and made the entire experience even better. I'd come back just for her customer service alone. Of course, I couldn't leave without dessert, and their s'mores cookie (chocolate chips, graham cracker, and gooey marshmallow) was soft, crunchy, and absolutely massive. One of the best cookies I've had in a while--worth the trip on its own. The space itself is super cute and tucked away in an alleyway-style strip. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, cozy couches, a charming vintage vibe, and plenty of space to work or relax. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, affordable prices, and lots of parking right in front. I'll definitely be back again soon. Again, huge thanks to Kaylee she made me feel so loved and welcomed!!

    Bay Area Sandwich with brisket and bbq
    Lily M.

    I enjoy picking up my TooGoodToGo orders here when I can! The people up front are friendly and conversational. I finally got time to order the Bay Area grilled cheese and it's wasn't bad! I'd say to get more bbq sauce even though there was some on it already. I like a saucer brisket grilled cheese ahaha. I'd come back to try another one for sure. They're priced alright ranging from $11-15. They also serve coffee and teas, but i just opted for some water. Inside is cute and Auto/ Aston Martin themed and seems like they always got a drag race on.

    Is it okay if I go there just to study and use the wifi several times a week?

    I've seen people do that there. It's only right that you buy an occasional coffee though.

    Is gluten-free bread available?

    Is there WiFi available?

    Yes!

    Do you have heavy cream for bullet style coffee?

    No heavy whipping cream, but they do offer half & half.

    Do they offer decaf?

    Yes they do!

It was a nice surprise to see a hand written "Congratulations and Happy Anniversary" card. A complimentary treat of Focaccia bread with avocado and kimchi was given as well as a glass of champagne for the both of us. Our waiter was helpful, offering his opinion on what wine to take. We went for whatever he suggested for white (for her) and red (for me). Both were good picks. Our dinner started with toasted focaccia bread. She ordered a Caesar salad also. The appetizer was 3 large slices of bread with stracciatella and pear compote. The bread was light and buttery. The stracciatella was good blending well with the bread. The Caesar salad was a big serving. Tasty and simple, nothing special. Our main entree was filet mignon for my wife and wagyu rib eye for me, both medium rare. The filet was topped with garlic confit and I added chimichurri to my ribeye. The plating was simple, the protein with the side and roasted garlic. We also added smashed potatoes to share. Our first bite was the meat itself with no dressing. I can taste why the steak was priced that way. It just melted in my mouth and left a nice smooth aftertaste. We exchanged bites, she felt the same way and I agreed that her filet was perfect. After adding the roasted garlic and chimichurri, the slices were heavenly. The surprise for me was the smashed potatoes. First time trying this dish and I was impressed. The crispness of the skin was a nice surprise. The butter and garlic added another layer of flavor. We topped our dinner with a toffee bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I'm not a dessert person but this, this was good! Overall it was a great dinner. The food was excellent. The staff was amazing. Of course, my date was beautiful. Thank you Butcher and Barrel for an awesome dinner experience!

Food did take awhile to get to us and unfortunately not as tasty as we were hoping for. We got the spinach artichoke dip (7/10), maple bourbon pork belly (6/10), 14 oz ribeye (6/10), and Wagyu Tomahawk (7/10). The ribeye was okay, really salty. The tomahawk show was really cool, I highly recommend getting it to see it in fire. Other than that, it's fancy inside, nice for a dinner date or grabbing a drink.

I got the steak frites and ordered my steak rare. It came out cooked perfectly and the steak itself was SO flavorful and seasoned really well! The sauce underneath was a little on the salty side for me, but paired with the steak and fries everything still came together really nicely. My friends also ordered the half chicken entrée and they both really enjoyed theirs! The absolute STAR though was the pavé fries!!! They were AMAZING. Literally my friends and I inhaled them Crispy, delicious, and easily one of our favorite things we ordered. Definitely a must! The warm bread was probably the only miss for us. The bread itself was okay, but the butter had a pretty strong, pungent flavor and scent that none of us really enjoyed. Service was friendly and the space has such a cute, comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for dinner and catching up with friends.

We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival - they did not accept reservations. We started with the Spinach and Artichoke Dip ($15) and Fritto Misto ($22) and drinks. I was so impressed with their Freezer Martini ($16) - the presentation was fun, and the amount given was well worth the price. Everyone ordered their own respective entrees, which included the Pasta Bolognese ($21) with Meatballs ($3), Seared Salmon ($29), and the Double-Cut Pork Chop ($29).

She likes a little spice so she had jalapeños added, which turned out to be a great complement to the drink. For lunch we had the prime rib hash and the shakshuka. My wife really enjoys shakshuka, but finds it relatively hard to find. She said the dish was "awesome". This was my first "hash". Though I enjoyed it, my one critique was too many pieces of fat. I appreciate cooking any steak with the fat as It definitely adds flavor, but no one wants to bite into pieces of just fat. My recommendation...cook it with the fat, but trim the fat before you dice it to add to the hash. Service was exceptional. We were greeted by Phillip, who was very personable, and he brought us water and drinks. Our server was Felicia. She was very friendly, upbeat, cheery, and made us feel very welcome. The bartender brought out the second cocktail and he was very friendly. He makes a superb cocktail. The staff did a wonderful job! We plan to return to try some of their other dishes.
