It's been a long time since we last been to 18 grams. It wasn't that busy then so it was nice to see them doing well. The staff were cool, definitely working hard to keep up with the business. There was a lot of seating both inside and out. We ordered on the kiosk but you can also order from the cashier. We didn't realize how much food items they now offered. There's different Filipino/Hawaiian dishes like a katsu, loco moco, and longanisa. They had baked goodies like ube muffins and pandan cookies. For drinks they were plenty of coffees, lattes, and teas. It was pretty busy so it took a while for our food to come out. It wasn't the best we had, but all the food was enough to satisfy our cravings. It was definitely a modern take on things that was enjoyable.

Any time we visit Sac, it is one of our go-to spots! They do an excellent job of sourcing their coffee beans along with roasting them. They've gotten exceptionally good at standardizing their drinks across the board as well. We have also tried many of their drinks outside of what we ordered today, including the 1987, 18 to the Brain, Thai Coffee, and Mexican Mocha. They have a food menu as well, which ranges from rice bowls to breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place to go to meet with friends, studying, or working on a project. They also have a good amount of seating inside, but it does fill up quickly! They do have WiFi (and outlets) and one single bathroom. Given we have been coming here for years, it is a must whenever you're in the Arden area!

What I found really cool is the ground seating area they have! This is a very traditional style of seating in the Middle East, and to see it here makes me feel close and proud of my heritage. The coffee is great, I got a pistachio iced latte with almond milk and you can't even taste the almond milk. What I would love to see is how it would be with live pianist or other live music. And maybe the smoke detector so it stops chirping Overall service was great I will be back if I'm in the area

It was kind of a mix between a latte and a slushy. On the weekends, they have Shawarma and hookah with a live music. It's worth a try if you're in the area.

I come here at least couple of times a week to do my work and escape the jail cell that is my apartment. Everyone here is so friendly. I enjoy the chai latte, as well as the other lattes.

It makes me doing my work and studying much less miserable. Thanks for reading and I hope you check them out!

My friend recommended this coffee shop while I was in town visiting. We went a couple times and it…read morewas great both times. The coffee shop is located at a street corner. Parking was not difficult to find. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating inside and outside. It is also the type of coffee shop where you can work or study. The staff is friendly and attentive. They greet you as soon as you enter and ask if you would like a drink that they can get started for you. I tried their vanilla latte and brown sugar latte. The coffee has a nice roast and shines through the drinks. I also tried two of their vegan donuts: the chocolate blackberry and their peanut butter and jelly donut. Both donuts were good but I enjoyed the chocolate blackerry donut more. Overall, a great coffee shop to visit!

Dine in or out, they personally will hand you your items. They have lunch items, pastries, and cafe items. Pastry items are mostly gone by the time I have arrived in the afternoons.

Not only is it just a cafe; you are able to enjoy wine as well! Love the combo. They are also about their community! Local business supporting other businesses. They have an area to pick up others business cards for services you may need.

I ordered an iced oat milk latte with their homemade honey sweetener and an almond croissant. I wanted to try more of their food menu, but their kitchen does not officially open until 10 AM and I was there too early. The service was friendly and attentive. I was the only customer in there at the time, but it was nice to hear a little bit of their backstory. The space is clean and modern and definitely the sort of coffee shop. I would want to hang out and spend some time in. As for what I ordered, the latte was creamy and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The almond croissant had a slightly overpowering almond extract flavor to it. If the almond extract was toned down a little bit, it would've been perfect. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their food menu at another time.

Roast and Grindz is honestly one of my favorite spots! I go here almost every other day, and they…read morenever disappoint. Everything I've tried has been amazing, but my personal favorite is the roast beef and grilled cheese sandwich -- seriously delicious! Their fresh-squeezed lemonades are awesome, and their coffee is always the perfect pick-me-up. You can really tell that everything is made with care and love. The team is also a huge part of what makes this place special. They're friendly, welcoming, and provide great customer service. The ambience is great, too -- it's the kind of place where you enjoy hanging out and feel comfortable every time you walk in. If you haven't been to Roast and Grindz yet, you're definitely missing out. Great food, great coffee, great atmosphere, and an amazing team! special thanks to Liliana and jewel!(sorry if I butchered your names lol)

What I personally witnessed was very different from what is being described in her review. From what I saw, the business itself had nothing to do with the situation. It appeared to be the property management for the commercial property addressing the individual about their vehicle taking up two parking spaces. It was explained to her that those spaces are needed by patients visiting the medical offices in the complex for their appointments. I can only speak to what I witnessed while I was there, but I don't think it's fair to hold this business responsible for an interaction that appeared to involve the property management rather than the coffee shop itself.

Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

Momma runs the café alongside her family, and you can taste the care that goes into every item. The pastries are outstanding. We tried the baklava, a specialty Neapolitan pastry, and a delicious cream-filled pastry topped with crushed Biscoff cookies and cream. Each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix. The café is open for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM, so be sure to come early. The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for great food, amazing pastries, excellent coffee, and genuine hospitality, Cafe 33 is a must-visit.

This was my first visit to Paris Baguette, and I'd definitely come back!…read more We ordered two medium iced vanilla lattes along with the hash brown bread with ham and cheese, an almond pain au chocolat, and the very berry pastry. The iced vanilla lattes were really good. The pastries were the highlight. The almond pain au chocolat was perfectly flaky, and the filling was absolutely delicious. The very berry pastry was my favorite. The cream was light, fresh, and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the fruit on top tasted fresh and sweet. The hash brown bread with ham and cheese was very dense and filling, making it a great savory option. I loved the self-serve pastry setup and appreciated how large the bakery selection was. While some items looked a little fresher than others, there was still plenty to choose from, and everything we picked was delicious. The bakery itself was very clean with plenty of comfortable seating, and I noticed they even offer WiFi, making it a nice place to work, catch up with someone, or just enjoy a coffee. It was fairly busy and a little noisy, but there were still plenty of open seats. Parking was also easy thanks to the large parking lot. The only downside was the service. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they also weren't especially welcoming. I also had trouble hearing the employee calling out completed drinks, so I ended up waiting around 10 minutes. It's possible our coffees were ready sooner, but I didn't want to crowd the pickup area. Our total came to about $30 for two coffees and three pastries, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, this was a great first experience, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm craving a coffee and pastry.

However, when I bit into my croquette and garlic frank, they were still cold inside. Since I had requested them to be toasted, I expected them to be warm all the way through. I called the store afterward to ask what their standard procedure for toasting items is. The employee I spoke with told me that it "just depends on the worker and how they toast it." That response didn't make sense to me. I would expect there to be a consistent standard for preparing food, especially when a customer specifically requests it to be toasted. the attitude I received came across as very much "I don't care,"
