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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I love the interior of this place! It's F-1 racing themed and alot of the furniture is vintage in timeless condition. The music was great as well! I noticed it lots ALT metal 90s and 2000s which is unique and I'm super happy it's not that of a typical coffee shop with hipster folk music. The service was great! Barista was awesome and helpful. It's definitely a place you sit and can get work done in. I ended up ordering the Bugatti royale latte to go. 8.5/10 definitely delicious and I would order again. Highly recommend this place if you want to try a niche coffee shop. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

This place was really great, good service and good coffee, however the area of where they're located is not great and pretty sketch.

I was on the hunt for a good grilled cheese, nay....THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE and that's when I found Shift Coffee on Yelp. Parking is primarily street parking and finding Shift isn't hard at all. Upon entering, you'll see that the place is lavishly decorated with car memorabilia. The television and music is all pretty hip as well. The gal behind the counter was very warm with her welcome. She was patient with us as we looked at the menu. We ordered 2 coffees and a grilled cheese with soup to share which was pretty shareable. Guys, we did it.....we found the BEST GRILLED CHEESE. The breads is crispy without being burned. The cheese melts and is warm. The grilled cheese and soup combo is a no brainer. The soup is creamy and flavorful. Overall; for the price of admission, you get a cool theme, great service and amazing food and beverage read more

Very clean, walk in and have that race track feeling. Customer service in the morning on a Saturday was amazing. Both very sweet and friendly. Food was great. Got to the sunrise sandwich.

I came at 9am today. The coffee was good, the shop is really cool. But, i ordered two coffees and they took at least 15-20 minutes when there was no other customers in the store. The two girls working were just chatting, our coffees didn't get started for like 10-15 minutes. I work at a coffee shop, nothing they were doing honestly should have taken that long. We tipped, maybe not enough for good service? read more

Shift Coffee House has a variety of tasty drinks from lattes to tea! The star of this place is their grilled cheese options! Breakfast grilled cheese was a magical way to start our morning. My wife got the sunrise and I got the firehouse 20 breakfast grilled cheese. The staff were so lovely and even made the sunrise without bread for my wife. I loved their lattes and the options to choose from had such a great variety. They are very busy later in the day so make sure you come with enough time for a good treat. Support this local business and get cheesy! read more

Our first visit to Shift Coffee House was long overdue. We went on a Sunday morning and we ordered two Del Paso Del Sol sandwiches, mine with no meat, and two Mexican Mochas. The sandwiches were delicious and we liked the coffee too. The menu is fairly extensive so it was a bit difficult to narrow it down, so we'll definitely make another trip, I'm looking forward to trying That's My Jam and You're Cheesy Honey. It took a little while to get our order, but only because there was a steady stream of customers. Love the decor and staff! read more

This place is cute! Great ambiance and the staff are always nice. We go here every year when we are staying in Sacramento for Aftershock festival. The owner will even give you a 10% discount if you're an aftershock festival goer. I get the Bugatti royals latte which is half and half, vanilla, espresso and cocoa. It's very good especially with and extra shot as thy use Naked coffee roasters and that coffee is so good! My husband usually gets their chai and it's pretty good too according to him. Great place to stop in for grilled cheeses too. Last year we got the sandwiches with a cup of tomato soup on the side (only $2.50 extra to add on) and dip the grilled cheese in and it's sooo good! Many different kinds of grilled cheeses too! read more

This place really does have the best grilled cheeses! I was in the area looking for coffee and how lucky did I get to be with my grilled cheese-obsessed brother and to stumble upon a place that had such great food too.

We tried the Bay Area Brisket but honestly I'm sure anything on the menu hits the spot. read more

I love me a goooood breakfast sandwich and this place did not disappoint. The Capitol Sunrise had all the breakfast necessity I want in a sandwich is a nice toasted sourdough bread. It wasn't that busy on a weekend afternoon, but there's plenty of seating inside and outside. Not sure if this is really a place to do work, more to chat and catch up with people. Coffee was fine and still fulfilled my fix, but the sandwich was where it's at! read more

Yummmmm! Grilled cheese heaven. The drink selection is fun and refreshing with all the different selections of delicious sandwiches they have. They have traditional coffee, iced and hot, along with lemonades and teas. The service is quick, the speed you would expect a coffee house to be. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, with some loungier areas. Bathrooms inside. The whole vibe is perfect for a quick bite, a lunch date, or a study session haven. Great prices, kind workers, good food/drinks! What more could you ask for :) read more

3.5 - Solid. I checked out of my air B&B and needed Wi-Fi for a meeting. Found this place and heard they had delicious grilled cheese. Say less! It's a cute vibe and had they been there when my friend had a house around the corner I used to stay at all the time... lol anyway. I was promptly greeted and given help making a decision. I landed on the Bay Area one that had brisket and bbq sauce. It was recommended to get the sauce on the sando and I took the advise. I also ordered an iced O.D.Bee. I walked outside to see if I wanted to sit there, it was a warmer day despite having umbrellas, I kept thinking about flies and no one wants to have them swarm your food and be swatting all meeting, so I opted for inside. They do a good job of having outlets all over. I moved tables once and both spots had them. My food didn't take too long. They keep a quiet roar of people served, so be patient. They sell day old bread too which is cool, it wasn't the same sourdough on the Bay Area but it's still a bargain if you need bread. My drink came out first and was nice. Not too sweet, syrupy or overwhelmed with that strong coffee flavor. I'd order it again. My sando came out a little after and while it was tasty, it wasn't like melted cheese really. It was good, but not a grilled cheese. The bread was toasted so idk. I didn't bother to say anything or ask (I ate during my meeting) but now looking at photos it seems to be a VERY melty experience, but it wasn't mine at all. It was good and I'd order it again. Meats tender, but I think I'd try something else first. Place itself is cute and kitschy. I had to use the loo, it's large and clean, a nice patron watched my stuff. I'd go back, and be sure to check that my cheese was melted. Solid food either way. read more

Was looking for a new spot to work remotely, and Yelp did not let me down! I grabbed an iced Mexican mocha with oat milk, which was great! Not too sweet and just the right amount of espresso to get me through my work day. My friend got a seasonal drink, which was a lavender and vanilla oat milk latte with cold foam on top- the foam was sweet and the combo of vanilla and lavender was lovely. Will be returning for their sandwiches for sure! The menu is huge and I'm excited to see what it's all about- the pictures are so enticing. Service was prompt and helpful, and they have a surprisingly big bathroom. Decent amount of parking during the week. It wasn't too crowded when we went so the WiFi was fast and there was lots of room to set up laptops. read more

although a slightly sketchy area along del paso road, shift is a cute little cafe in a covered complex with a few other businesses. parking is pretty limited to a few spots along the street in the front. the interior is super cute and creative, decorated with car and motorcycle memorabilia. there's plenty of seating inside, and their menu is also posted outside! we went for their O.D Bee and Mexican Mocha. both were perfectly sweet, on the lighter side instead of creamy side even though we opted for oat milk though. we loved the spice on the mexican mocha as well. definitely coming back to try their eclectic grilled cheeses! read more

I'll cut straight to the chase: this one star review isn't for the drinks (they're great) or the service (lovely courteous and competent people); it's the music. It's REALLY fucking bad. They play K Pop all day, and it's so loud I can't even describe. This is the sort of ambiance I would expect when I'm getting trashed on Soju and trying to pick up a cute Korean girl at some bar at 1am. In no universe is this "coffeehouse appropriate". read more

Great coffee and great grilled cheese options. It has a fun theme and lots of indoor seating. It's definitely a good spot to dine-in or hang out with your coffee. I tried the red velvet latte but it was definitely rich so get that if you want more of a dessert type drink for sure. I believe their syrups are housemade which is a plus. I'll be back for sure. read more

The parking was limited but we were lucky to find a spot right away. The shop is decorated nicely with automobile memorabilia.
