    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Nataly D.

    cute but crowded and the music was loud for how small the place is. got the strawberry matcha latte which is good but the matcha itself is okay, a little bit grassy tasting imo. the drink is perfectly sweet and creamy, and the strawberry flavor is prominent, which helps with cutting out the grassy flavor of the matcha. FYI for matcha connoisseurs, they don't mix the matcha by hand/whisk. also got the banana coffee latte which was good. the coffee flavor wasn't too strong which i didn't mind, and the banana flavor was on the mellow side which i actually appreciated, as banana tends to dominate as a flavor. i loved the toffee bits they put on top, super yummy. service was okay, i didn't have a bad experience with the workers like other reviewers did, but they weren't overtly friendly or enthusiastic either which is fine.

    Looking for good matcha on socials and found this spot. Small cafe, has lots of trinkets to look at inside. Saw they had a strawberry crunch matcha but was seasonal item so they no longer served it. The ube coconut matcha is spot on and definitely a dessert type of matcha. Ube cold foam is thick, creamy, vanilla flavors topped with coconut flakes. Matcha is clean and pairs well with sweet cold foam.

    With so many new cafés popping up in Sacramento, it can be hard for one to stand out--but Sun House Cafe's banana matcha is definitely worth the visit. The café is on the smaller side, with just a handful of tables and some bar seating if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. I tried the banana matcha with oat milk ($8) and really enjoyed it. The toffee and banana bits are so yum. I also appreciate their cup sizes are decently large and they do NOT charge extra for milk substitute!! While the matcha wasn't quite as rich or strong as I typically prefer, the unique flavor combination and the café's cream-topped drinks made it a worthwhile experience.

    I have been dying to check out Sun House Cafe - I had heard nothing but good things about their cafe! I can't even tell you how excited I was when I found out they were coming to my work and catering for our work event! They had 2 drinks to keep up with the large crowd, a cold brew and a Matcha - with a banana cream top and sea salt caramel cream top I believe. I tried both, but I was a big fan of the Matcha which I thought I would never say! I am not a fan of Matcha, but man, was theirs good! The banana cream top took it over...the top! Staff were all really sweet and did a great job getting through the constant long line! While I have yet to actually visit Sun House Cafe, I can confidently say that their coffee is great! I heard multiple people say that their Matcha was one of the best they have ever had! I cannot wait to try their Matcha and other drinks again! I will be visiting very soon! Check them out!

    Sunhouse has become my go-to spot for matcha. They're always rotating in seasonal drinks and new menu items, which keeps me coming back to see what's next. On my most recent visit, I tried their Honey Lavender Matcha with lemon cream (they were out of vanilla), and it was so good. I found myself savoring every sip just to make it last a little longer. They also had pastries this time, which was a nice surprise since they didn't have any during my last visit.

    I was recommended to try Sun House by many and finally had the chance to try it. I got the matcha latte and banana matcha. Out of the two, I definitely recommend the banana matcha. It is perfectly sweet and delicious, and the banana cream was so tasty. This is the best banana matcha in Sacramento in my opinion. The whole milk here isn't lactose free, but they have oat and almond milk for alternatives. The employees are super nice and outgoing. The cafe itself is small with very minimal seatings and can be loud so I wouldn't recommend it to be a studying spot.

    Cute little cafe to stop by. Parking: free street parking Menu: keep changing except regular matcha latte, regular coffee. For example: banana latte or ube latte are seasonal. Service: friendly, decent speed A lot of people working in small space: 4-5 The spot is tiny so only have a few seatings, it is more of pick up and go than hanging out in extended period of time. Matcha drink is good quality and not overly watered down. They also sell accessories and knit knat ornaments next to the cashier.

    I personally really like this place! My friend has a vendetta against the coffee because it is made using a home espresso machine, and tastes bitter to her. I'm somewhat picky around about coffee and I actually don't mind it at all - perhaps it's the sweet flavors that mask, but I really like their espresso drinks. I've tried the fruity pebbles and the banana cream iced lattes and I would definitely come back!! Their Matcha is just okay. It looks like they pre-mix it in a pitcher and it definitely tasted watery. Definitely not the worst matcha I've had by any means, but if you've had good Matcha, then maybe this is a place to only try once (or just skip)! It's very small inside, just some bench seating. Parking is not great, it's street parking, but I've always found a spot about a block away (like a one minute walk).

    Fruity Pebbles matcha latte and The salted butterscotch latte
    Adam G.

    Okay my friend and I came to Sun House Cafe on April 1st around 11:40 a.m. We had seen this new coffee spot pop up on our Instagram reels as places we should check out and we decided to give it a shot. I will say that it has been a long time for me where I had to force myself to slow down and not suck down my drink. These drinks that we got which were the seasonal drinks, the matcha fruity Pebbles drink and the sea salt caramel drink were out of this world. The fruity pebble seasonal drink was just a throwback to childhood nostalgia because as I drink it I remember sitting in front of the TV watching Saturday morning cartoons and letting my fruity Pebbles cereal get mushy so that it could flavor the milk. Add the addition of matcha to it which gives it that yummy earthy taste it was just a brilliant combination together. My friend, who's not a big coffee drinker, was extremely surprised by how well balanced the flavors were in his drink. He talked about how the sea salt really helped make it a bit more savory but didn't take away from the sweetness of the caramel. He, to my surprise, actually finished his drink before me because it was that good. I am definitely excited to come back and try the other seasonal items that pop up throughout the year. I would also love to try the bit of pastries that were available. Did not do it because we had just eaten a snack and we really wanted to focus on the drinks while we were there. Oh and totally forgot about the Ambiance and the service. Both were just charming is the easiest word to use. The space is small but intimate and very welcoming. The individual that helped us behind the order counter was super helpful, answered all of our questions, and even gave recommendations based on the limited supply that they had for the day as many people had come in for coffee that morning. So again definitely a place to check out.

    I'm not sure what took us so long, but we finally made it in to Sun House Cafe. Parking was a bit of a struggle, but well worth it!!!! We didn't have to look at the menu, we went for the Banana Latte and Banana Matcha. The Banana Latte was delicious. The banana Cream on top is the BEST I've ever had! And love the toffee pieces and banana slice on top! Perfect touch! My daughter's Banana Matcha was just as good. The perfect amount of banana. AMAZING! Would love to try the Churro series next but kinda stuck on the banana. Maybe I'll go double fisted next time. 10/10

    I saw this place on tik tok and thought it was super cute so I decided to come check it out! It's pretty small and we came on a Saturday so of course it was very packed but the drinks came out great! I got their banana matcha and it was delicious, I'm glad I chose that over their regular latte. Since they're known for their matcha I would highly recommended getting it if you were to visit because it tasted so good and fresh! The banana chips were a nice additional crunch. I wish the actual place was bigger because it got so overwhelmingly busy that i felt almost claustrophobic lol but honestly what can they really do about it. They made the wrong drink for my friend but immediately fixed their mistake! Anyways, I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for some good matcha in sac!

    Ice Banana Crème Latte
    Amy N.

    Two baristas working, which feels like the max for the space. The barista was friendly and soft-spoken. I ordered the iced Churro Latte and Banana Crème Latte. Loved the Churro, well balanced and not overly sweet. My co-worker enjoyed the Banana Crème as well. Both drinks were very aesthetic and I'd come back to try other flavors. Street parking only, park on the street where you can't turn right, you'll have to go around the block. The area has homeless folks, but mornings are quieter. Sun House Cafe is very small with limited seating meant more for waiting than hanging out. 3 stars mainly due to the location and small interior.

The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.
