The Mill is a beautiful little cafe located in midtown. It is sparsely decorated, but what it does…read morepresent is very charming and minimalist. There is seating inside as well as some tables and chairs outside as well. I found the coffee and food at The Mill to be excellent. There are many coffee and tea selections as well as some pastries in the front section and waffles. The waffles seem to be the only hot food item there, but it is very popular and is an item totally worth getting. The waffles is an excellent size and has a crispy outside and chewing interior. It comes with powdered sugar all over the top and your choice of jam or maple syrup. I went with the jam and I really enjoyed the waffle with it. The coffee was of very high quality. I had the cold brew with their sweet cream on the top. The cold brew was strong and the cream had a premium stiffness to it that standard coffee places don't do. It was not very sweet and for those who enjoy their coffee with less sugar, this is great. I found the coffee enjoyable throughout my time with it as I sat in the cafe hanging out with my friend. The Mill is a a top notch cafe and well worth a visit.

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!

Now that I am frequenting the office more, it provides me with an opportunity to discover "new to…read moreme" coffee shops in the downtown area. Looking forward to catching up with a friend, I found it ironic that she suggested Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery - considering that it was at the top of my Yelp bookmarks. Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted by a beautiful purple right-hand drive Nissan Skyline! I honestly don't know if this happened by chance or if my friend chose this particular coffee shop due to my love for cars. After I was done gawking at the Skyline, I approached the front counter where a friendly employee greeted me ready to take my order. Since the fall season was near (its already fall at the time that I'm drafting this review), I decided to go with the Sea Salt Latte - which was an option on the fall menu. Less than five minutes later our orders were ready. I found it very personable that the employee made pleasant eye contact and said "enjoy your coffee Raheem" as he handed it to me. While I sipped on my delicious latte and caught up with my friend, the nostalgic sounds of 90's and early 2000's R&B played in the background. Chloe Ca Phe & Roastery is my jam...I look forward to making a return visit in the very near future!

I don't know if Chloe recently changed their matcha or recipe for their coconut cloud matcha, but…read moretoday it tasted off :( I was quite disappointed since this was a drink I've recommended to numerous people and have ordered quite a few times. This time, it just tasted like a green coconut water when previously there was a beautiful balance between the matcha and coconut flavoring creating a refreshing caffeine hit. Unfortunately at ~$8 a cup I don't think I can risk another bad one.

Outstanding!!!!! Literally the best latte I've ever had in my 60 years…read more The coffee beans are exceptional as well. So glad I bought some for at home pour overs. The difference in flavor is amazing. The beans also don't have that gross oily texture or smell to them. Often commercial beans do from being roasted in to large of quantities and at too high temperatures. I'd also like to compliment the staff on the friendly service and beautiful space. It was so welcoming.

The people that work there were so cool! I'm thinking about moving to the area and they were really great about giving me a lot of suggestions of neighborhoods to look at. It seems that they specialize in a lot of iced flavored coffees, as that is what I saw most of the people that were there when I was getting. I just wanted a latte with a little bit of honey and cinnamon. Was kind of surprised that they don't carry cinnamon at their shop, that's a coffee shop staple. I did enjoy the latte, though, the roast on the beans was very nice. The vibe in this old home is so cool, lots of people just chatting and hanging out. Was a really great place to pass a little time in a beautiful neighborhood. I would return to this coffee shop. I didn't try any of the pastries that were available, but I did see a case with a selection.

The specials are especially great. On my first visit to Mast I tried their churro inspired latte. I loved the cinnamon and brown sugar flavor and especially appreciated that it wasn't 'too sweet to the taste. My wife, who also enjoys coffee with a little less sugar, was impressed with their Tokyo Fog matcha. She really enjoys the natural earthy matcha flavor and the Tokyo Fog gave that to her with some beautiful floral notes. Service was fast and we had our coffees very quickly. The cafe itself is well furnished and would be an incredible place to do some work on the go or just to hang out with friends. The ambiance is calm with some really great decorations around. It's not gaudy at all - just a smooth vibe. The food here is also of high quality. The pastries in the front case look beautiful and also have a rich flavor profile. I had their savory bacon bear claw and it was packed with bacon bits and cheese. Perhaps on my next visit to this location I'll give their kitchen items a try as they looked like they would make a great breakfast.

Judging by the line at 7 am, we clearly weren't the only ones with that idea. It moved a little slower than expected, but no one seemed to mind. Everyone was relaxed, upbeat, and happily waiting for what was on the other side of the counter. And honestly? It was worth every minute. I'm a simple drip coffee kind of gal, and this was one of those cups that reminds you how good coffee can be when it's done well. No frills, just really exceptional coffee. The café itself feels bright, open, and welcoming. I loved the calming color palette, the beautiful mural celebrating the coffee-growing journey, and the cheerful little touches throughout the space, even the sign that read, "I followed my heart and it led me to Pachamama." It made me smile. I completely understand why this place has such a loyal following. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Sacramento. Some places are worth making a small detour for, and Pachamama is one of them.

I kept things simple with a drip coffee and a little half-and-half. The coffee was perfect and exactly what my tired brain needed. I took it outside, where the sun was shining, the temperature was just right, and for a few glorious minutes, life was very, very good. I also have unfinished business here. The pastry case was absolutely packed with delicious-looking baked goods, and somehow I managed to walk away without one. Clearly an oversight that will need to be corrected. I really like the simplicity of the space, warm wood, clean lines, and plenty of natural light. The outdoor patio is the kind of place where you meet friends and lose track of time. Good coffee, sunshine, and nowhere I needed to be for a minute. Pure bliss. See you next time, Temple.

I like the calm and relaxed ambiance here and I like the light fixtures, seating and other furniture, and decor here with all the warm wood tones and light, bright, and airy colors. Overall, this Temple coffee location is a great place for studying, reading, hanging out, getting work done and meeting with friends while enjoying delicious coffees, teas, and sweet treats.
