Plenty of indoor seating with a mix of counters and tables, no outdoor setup, and a pretty minimal food menu. But you're not here for the food anyway. You're here for the coffee, and that's where it delivers. Good vibes, no nonsense, and a price point that's refreshing Parking? Lot. Easy We had: Pour Over, Papua New Guinea and Bali (5/5): Finding a genuinely good pour over under five dollars feels almost extinct at this point. Somehow, Kingdom makes it feel normal. Both beans were clean, intentional, and actually distinct, which is the whole point of a pour over. The Papua New Guinea was smooth with soft chocolate notes, balanced and easy without feeling boring. The Bali brought more brightness with a citrus edge that gave it some energy. Two different profiles, both executed well

Everybody was very friendly and helpful. I liked the place. It is a smaller area for seating, but they have a good menu. The food menu is a bit smaller, things such as breakfast, burritos, avocado toast, croissants, etc.... They have a good baked goods section, and they make very good coffee, as is their name. I got a box of macarons for Valentine's Day, plus one for myself, the macaron was tender, and had an amazing flavor. The person I got the Macarons for, she did like them. I also got myself a white mocha, which I liked very much. It wasn't too sweet, and the coffee was deep and rich. The price for everything was very reasonable. I want to come back and try more things, and I will definitely get more of those macarons next time also. Thank you.

On our drive back to LA from Lake Tahoe, I Yelped "Folsom breakfast" and this spot popped up…read moreglowing with recommendations. We pulled in excited for both food and coffee... but quickly learned this is very much a coffee-first, food-optional situation. The coffee? Pretty solid. I ordered the honey lavender latte and enjoyed it. My daughter's iced vanilla latte also passed the teen approval test. Minor head-scratcher: I ordered my latte "for here" and still got a to-go cup. Now, the food. Oof. I'd strongly recommend sticking to baked goods (I didn't try them, but guessing that would be a better option) The avocado toast was a letdown. Imagine a teeny, paper-thin, cold piece of toast topped with a small smear of avocado that tasted more "packaged" than fresh, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, two lonely feta crumbles, and a sliced hard-boiled egg... served cold... on the side. It did come with a side salad, which felt like an apology. We also ordered a croissant sandwich (ham, Swiss, and scrambled eggs), which unfortunately did not sit well with my husband. The eggs tasted like they may have come from a carton. The staff was nice, but the service model was confusing. When I'm prompted to tip at checkout and there are tables and seating, I assume some level of table service. Instead, we picked up our own coffee, food, silverware, and napkins, and at the end, we also got the honor of bussing our own plates back to the counter. Full-circle dining experience. Bonus details: - They had one single packet of hot sauce left in the entire place - The salt shaker was completely solidified (we did ask for more, but the replacement had exactly one functioning hole) * And just to keep you on your toes, the front door pushes instead of pulls. A small thing, but somehow on-brand. Bottom line: Come here if you want a custom coffee. If you're hungry, manage expectations... or honestly, stick with good old Starbucks for consistency, fewer surprises, and doors that behave.

As the woman at the register said, it's perfect if you want something more light and refreshing. This bowl was one you didn't feel heavy after eating.

I found myself in Folsom on a beautiful sunny day, so I got to enjoy this outside!

The coffee shop is located on a church campus, but it's easy to spot from the main road. You order with the people working inside the parked Airstream and then you have the choice of enjoying your drink at one of the tables available outside, or by walking into the lobby space adjacent to the Airstream. I love finding a space inside and have spent a few hours at a time here, working undisturbed on various things. The beautiful interior makes it hard to leave. I have a couple cons, though. One, it's hard to enjoy this place on bad weather days because you're waiting for your drink to be made while standing in the cold or wind. Two, I wish there were more food items available for purchase besides a few cookies. But don't let these things deter you - come check out Proxy and fall in love!

The place was packed with people laughing, talking stories, and just soaking in the vibe. Even with how busy it was, the place stayed clean, the line moved smooth, and the baristas were awesome the whole time. Friendly, welcoming, and still keeping the energy up late into the night. I grabbed the iced Mufawaa and a baklava roll, and both absolutely delivered. That drink gave me the perfect boost before heading up the hill to my partner's house in Cameron Park, and the baklava roll was the little sweet knockout punch I didn't know I needed. Qamaria just gets it... good drinks, good people, and somehow always the right stop when you need that extra push to finish the night.

While we didn't check out the cafe as we had just eaten lunch, we did buy a few books for our daughter. We could have spent hours here, but sadly we had to drive home. Staff were very friendly and helpful! You could always find at least one employee walking around in each section which I really liked. Overall, this is an amazing location!

I can't handle the all-sugar drinks at the big brand coffee shops or being limited to tea bags and water (that I can easily have at home). I loved that at Haraz their drinks are not created with premade simple syrup ingredients that are super high in sugar. I was able to skip the sugar altogether and add only honey in the amount I was comfortable with. I had the Adeni tea and it was strong and delicious. My husband and I shared a decadent chocolate and pistachio treat. And he really enjoyed his drink. This place is perfect for a date, where you can talk with enough privacy, without being interrupted by waiters during a meaningful conversation, with the elegance that feels like you have been transported to another region of the world. After nearly twenty two years of marriage, making it a habit to sit and relax at places like this are what help keep our marriage moving in the right direction. Thank you for the gift of this space, Haraz!

I had Turkish coffee for the very first time and was kinda disappointed.

If I go back I'll probably end up trying something else. The shop itself was lovely. Clean and well maintained. The gal behind the counter was very nice and helped me carry my tray to where I was sitting as well.
