Probably wouldn't get the mochi again, but I'd definitely come back to try more drinks.

I was a little skeptical, seeing how many locations there are for Temple, but the long line was a promising sign that did not disappoint. POUR OVER: 5/5. One of the better pour overs we've had, high praise from my partner who used to roast his own beans and has historically disappointed with a great many pour overs, even from highly rated places all over the West Coast. MATCHA LATTE: 5/5. As an OC girly with no shortage of incredible matcha spots at my disposal, I was pleasantly surprised. Matcha forward, not too sweet, with a velvety mouthfeel. VANILLA LATTE: 5/5. Reminds me of Blue Bottle lattes on a good day. Perfectly balanced. PRETZEL BACON PASTRY: 4/5. 3 for me, but 5 for my partner who is still talking about it even a week later. Those were just the things I tried first hand, but everyone was raving about their drinks and pastries too.

Ordered an iced matcha latte at Temple Coffee Roasters and honestly, my first impression was that…read moreit tasted more like matcha milk than an actual matcha latte. The drink was very milk-heavy with only a faint matcha flavor, so I couldn't really tell what quality matcha was being used. At $8.50, I was pretty sticker shocked -- especially for Sacramento. Even a lot of cafés in Los Angeles don't charge that much for a standard iced matcha latte. That said, I did work up the courage to bring the drink back and ask if they could add more matcha, and the barista was incredibly kind and accommodating about it. It still did not have a strong matcha flavor, but the customer service genuinely turned the experience around for me. No shade to the business overall -- Temple has been around for a long time and is clearly well-loved for their coffee program and lattes. I just personally wish the matcha flavor had been stronger from the start, especially at that price point.

We came in here after a meeting with clients. I am so glad we stumbled upon this place…read more Inside, it was clean and bright with some gentle music playing setting the tone for a relaxing lunch. They have a small but unique menu and were willing to make a few small modifications to the dishes we ordered. I ordered the locks and cream cheese bagel that was beautifully presented with capers and thin sliced red onion on top. It was perfectly balanced for flavors and absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the baked brie sandwich. It came with thinly sliced apple, which perfectly balanced with the brie along with some arrugalula. My wife said this was the best brie sandwich she had ever had. They have several gourmet coffee and espresso drinks along with a beautiful selection of croissants and pastries. My wife is already planning on making this one of our regular spots. Welcome.If you're in the area, you should definitely give this place a try.It was very refreshing.

Hidden gem energy with a sandwich that almost spiritually attacked me…read more I genuinely was not expecting one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had in a doctor's office building, but here we are. Roast & Grinds is tucked inside one of those professional medical office suites near the IVF facilities, and honestly? It's such a clean, cute setup that it immediately caught me off guard in the best way. The location feels polished, calm, and super professional without feeling cold or sterile. My husband actually found this place after specifically hunting for a good sandwich spot, and thank God he did because this sandwich changed the trajectory of my afternoon. The two girls working there were incredibly nice from the moment we walked in. I asked for a sample of the pastrami before committing, and instead of acting annoyed like some places do, they happily gave me one. The second I tasted it, I already knew I was done for. Then they heated the sandwich up fresh and absolutely put their foot in it. Now let's discuss the real plot twist here: the pepperoncinis. WHAT are they feeding those things?! Those were the hottest pepperoncinis I have ever had in my life, and somehow it made the sandwich even better. It was the kind of spicy where you pause mid-bite and reconsider your decisions... and then immediately go back for another bite anyway. "Hurts so good" is honestly the only way to describe it. Everything tasted fresh, the bread held up perfectly, and the whole experience felt surprisingly elevated for a tucked-away little café inside a business suite. Also, small detail that I personally appreciated: being connected near medical and wellness offices while still serving genuinely fresh, satisfying food just makes sense. It feels intentional instead of greasy or slapped together. Parking was easy, the entrance was simple to find right on the corner, and the whole experience was smooth from beginning to end. Only reason I'm doing 4 stars instead of 5 is because I want to try more of the menu before I fully marry myself to this place emotionally. But trust me: I will absolutely be back for that pastrami sandwich and those violently delicious pepperoncinis.

Really solid tasting cold brew coffee from Tupelo Coffee House. The place has a very spacious…read moreinterior with comfortable seating. They also have outside patio seating but the chairs weren't set up and rather just inside the building. I'm thinking it's the type of thing where you grab a seat when needed and bring it outside. I ordered my cold brew and I love how they didn't fill the cup with 90% ice like how other coffee shops do. The only thing that threw me off was that if I wasn't mistaken, the barista left room for cream and didn't fill the cup all the way. Usually I hear baristas ask if I'd like room for cream or not so that's why it threw me off a little seeing my cup not filled all the way. Otherwise this seems like a very humble coffee shop with a large variety of coffee, definitely wouldn't mind coming back here to try other items.

Mixed experiences lately…read more The Bowl of Soul is my go-to staple here. I remember it was served in a large, wide brimmed cup with whimsical writing on top.

I've been coming to Estelle's Bakery & Patisserie for years since I used to live only a block away,…read moreso it became one of my favorite places to walk to for tea and desserts. I've since moved out of state, but during my last visit in January this year, the treats and drinks were just as delicious as I remembered. This was always one of my favorite spots to spend a few hours catching up with girlfriends over tea and pastries. The ambience is lovely and gives off fancy tea party vibes, making it perfect for casual conversations, book discussions, or just relaxing with something sweet. My personal favorites are the rose macaron and the mont blanc desserts. If I'm feeling hungry, I usually order the ratatouille, and the vanilla bean French toast is amazing when I want something sweet but filling. Matcha is always my go-to drink here too (though it's on the sweet side, so I don't think it's ceremonial grade). I remember my first visit; It was when I stopped by later in the day looking for a birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday about five years ago. I ended up choosing their chocolate mousse cake on a whim since it was one of the cakes they still had on display, and it turned out to be a good decision. My son loved it, but it was too chocolatey for me so he ended up having most of the cake. Still one of the memories I remember most from here. It was something I kept in mind that if I wanted more options and variety, I should arrive earlier in the day. There are a few downsides that keep this from being a full 5 stars for me though. The parking lot is very small and street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The place gets crowded very easily, which is why I usually preferred walking there when I lived nearby. There's often a guard stationed at the front kindly holding the door open, though I imagine that's also due to the neighborhood. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but honestly that's fairly expected with a patisserie. My biggest issue is that service can noticeably decline when they're overwhelmed. Depending on when you visit, the line can get absurdly long (almost out the front door), and I've experienced slower service and even had my drink mixed up with another customer's order once. Since I order oat milk due to lactose intolerance, getting the order correct is pretty important. Thankfully, when the bakery isn't overly busy and adequately staffed, the employees are attentive, friendly, and very helpful with the ordering process if you have questions. It is still one of the Sacramento bakeries I miss after moving away. It was so lovely to have a bakery down the street from home.

You grab the tongs, tray, and paper to line the tray to the right of the entrance door. I selected the following items: Cheddar Cheese Twist, Red Bean Bread, Chocolate Supreme Croissant, Ganache Cream Cake (slice), and Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pastry. I also ordered a Matcha Latte. I enjoyed the one savory item I ordered; the bread tasted like it was of good quality. The Ganache Cream Cake slice was light, which l enjoyed. The other items didn't really stand out to me. I also previously had the Duet Roll Cake but only liked the chocolate half; the raspberry side tasted very artificially flavored to me. A nice spot to check out if in the Arden area.
