    Driven past 100 times. Finally had the chance to stop today. Wonderful experience. Friendly staff. Barista was good at their craft. Pulled good shots. Ordered espresso tonic. Like their version of this. Slightly sweet but not too sweet. Flavorful. The space is intimate. Seating inside. Outside too. I will repeat. Highly recommend.

    I've passed by this coffee shop so many times, and we finally stopped in on a Sunday morning. When we stopped there was a run club out in their driveway area (they were blocking the way onto their parking lot) and we ended up getting a parking spot on the street. It's good to know that they do have a small parking lot though. It's a small cafe with a few bar seats along the window as well as a cute little outdoor patio in the back. The team members were very nice and I made small talk with the person taking my order, and ended up ordering their favorite- an iced honey latte. The coffee didn't take too long, even though there were a few orders ahead of mine, and it was delicious. I'd definitely stop by again in the future.

    I've been coming to The Mill for years and their quality has always been consistent. They're known for their coffee and waffle in hand. On Sunday, I arrived at 7:30 and there was a couple of people enjoying their coffee. I was greeted by a kind barista and I decided to order the cappuccino and a croissant. My croissant was handed to me on plate and my drink took about 5 minutes. That first sip feeling was amazing. I'm still dreaming of the cappuccino that I had. The croissant was good. Nothing special, but still satisfied my craving. I would recommend coming here to get coffee and a waffle in hand, sit outside at the table and people watch. There's a lot of bikers and hikers as this is near a trail by Sacramento State.

    Cute spot with efficient, friendly, service and a great quality cappuccino. They had an impressive array of tea for sale that all looked good too.

    I stopped by here on a whim and tried the roasted iced matcha latte. It was enjoyable! I also tried the chocolate croissant and was pleasantly surprised how delicious and flaky it was. It was topped with sea salt, it was so good! Cashier was pleasant and welcoming. The shop was nice, clean but small. I would love to come back and try their other drinks.

    Adore this place! Love that it's so close to Sac State and has great hours! The ham and cheese croissant was delish and HUGE. Buttery and flaky The vanilla bean latte was amazing too! A great way to start one's morning or get an afternoon pick me up!

    They make the most out of a fairly small shop. I was pleasantly surprised by their large selection of tea both to drink and buy. This place is popular for Sac State students since it's so close to campus. We ordered a matcha and decaf latte

    Came with my best friend for a coffee date for her bday. Super cute inside and the outside area is nice and covered. Parking is a bit difficult as there aren't a ton of spaces and backing out can be difficult, but there is also some street parking. We had the iced chai and iced matcha. Both delicious, would recommend the wildflower syrup added to the matcha as it is unsweetened. The chai was spicy too. We also had the chocolate chip mochi waffle which was delicious! For me, the cookie was just ok. It is nice and thick but the flavor just isn't there for me and the texture is interesting. Will def be back to try more things!

    If you're looking for a quiet, low-key spot to study or get some work done, this place is a hidden gem. The vibe is super chill, with relaxing study music playing in the background and plenty of seating both indoors and outside. It's the kind of place you can actually focus in--no loud crowds, just a peaceful atmosphere. I tried their matcha with honey, and it was delicious! The matcha had a smooth, rich flavor, but I'd probably ask for light honey next time--it was a little too sweet for my taste. I also ordered a latte, which was solid and well-made. One small downside: the extra shot was a bit pricey (inflation, maybe?), but not a dealbreaker. Shoutout to the one staff member working when I visited--she was amazing. Super patient, answered all of our questions, kept the place running smoothly, and was even bussing tables in between helping customers. Seriously appreciated her hustle and kindness. Parking-wise, there's street parking available, but just a heads up: the ACE Hardware next door doesn't allow coffee shop parking unless you're shopping there. Overall, this is a cozy, no-frills coffee spot that nails the essentials--good drinks, great service, and a calm atmosphere for working or studying.

    The quality is actually amazing. Fast service. Small inside area with lots of seating. I love how clear the matcha tea tastes. Also had their chocolate chip sea salt cookie. TD4

    Cute little hole in the wall coffee shop near Sac State. I've tried a few beverages and the matcha is my usual go to. If you're looking for a sweet drink the iced caramel latte might hit the spot. The iced chai and vanilla bean latte have been a hit or miss for me. The shop itself is very clean and nicely put together. Seating inside is limited but they have outside seating as well. The employees here are nice and service is pretty quick!

    This is easily the best coffee I've ever had. The vibe is amazing. I went the first day with my girlfriend and got the iced caramel latte. It blew my mind. I've had a lot of coffee in my life but nothing has ever hit like this. I came back the next morning just to get the SAME DAMN THING. I even tried my girls matcha, and I don't even drink matcha. I actually hate it. But somehow they made me like it.... If you gave this place one star you're seriously tripping...Go kick rocks! This spot is absolutely worth the wait. One hour, two hours, I'd wait all day for this coffee. It's that damn good!

The Black Sesame French Toast was fantastic! We also got the Date-Orange Latte and the Salted Honey Lavender Latte, both tasted great! Our three drinks took less than 10 minutes, and I think the French Toast took exactly ten minutes. Not long at all, and it was busy when we were there(11am). My order was to-go, and they were all perfectly packaged! I so appreciate the front girl answering all my silly questions, the efficiency of the team, getting to watch the man in the kitchen do his work, and the clean and inviting presence of the place. My daughter brought in her baby milk and spilt some, only for one of the guys to clean it up quickly. I so appreciate you guys!! There was a challenge, as I also spoke with the front girl about, but parking is competitive. All the parking spots were taken. Some parking spots were reserved for the neighboring businesses, so I found parking on the roadside. Is it possible to expand the parking lot? It's tough to give patronage to this great business with this challenge. I suppose it's a good problem to have when many people want to come here ;)

    I've been wanting to try the matcha drinks at Offbeat for a while and found myself nearby so…read morestopped in. First, the pros: Matcha latte was delicious and clearly high grade. My drink wasnt too sweet which I prefer. The hojicha latte was great as well! You don't see this often if at all so it was a pleasant surprise. The service was friendly and they were patient when I had questions on the standard vs the "twice" drinks. They have a shared parking lot which helps as they are off a busy stretch of road. The cons: They do not have size options for their beverages. Which for the most part isn't an issue except when I wanted a large drink. Which is why I bought 2. They partnered with Pastry Cat and unfortunately the common theme was they never had pastries even in 9am window. Not their fault but maybe partnering with a patisserie that offers consistent inventory might be worthwhile? The ambience is less "come and enjoy your drink" and more "we don't have enough seating"and use the space efficiently. I think if they update the layout of the tables and chairs, it would feel more inviting to sit for a bit or meet up with friends. The parking lot. It's terrible, crowded and people don't know how to park. I saw a couple of cars almost back into eachother while waiting and I was grateful I parked on the street and walked. Overall, the quality of the drinks and the friendliness are great and that receives 4 stars. If you want a quality matcha drink then give them a try. But I have access to other cafes that meet my needs; enough that Offbeat will be more of an off the beaten path option than a regular one.

Their menu isnt overwhelming and only has a few selections, theres good pastries to try out as well. Coffee was alright and the pastries were ok, overall I guess I was just more distracted by the business's set pieces. In any case, check the place out, parking can be a pain if it gets busy, typical downtown sac. Issues.

    Wushiland Boba is my new favorite spot for boba in Sac!…read more I found out about it from a recent Feed Mei Mei YouTube video, and of course I had to check it out asap. I looked up the origin and it turns out Wushiland is a spin off from the Taiwanese boba chain 50嵐 (if you speak mandarin, it says Wushi Lan). Located on Sutterville in a tiny strip mall with minimal parking right next to the Freeport area where there are plenty of good eats, some of which are my favorite places in Sac to eat at, Wushiland is in an optimal location. Bright, clean, and with a decent amount of seating, you have the option to order from kiosks or up front at the counter. The AC was blowing cold and a nice respite from the El Niño heat. The workers are friendly and drinks are made quickly. Be advised that the drinks are voluminous, especially if you're like me and ask for less ice. Coming from someone who considers Chicha San Chen their favorite Taiwanese tea chain (but alas we don't have it in Sac), the difference in quantity is huge. Obviously if you're looking for a refined style of tea chain, Wushiland doesn't compare, but still the taste of their teas shine through and there is a good variety for everyone's palate. The first time I tried their earl grey tea because I have been craving an earl grey for a while, and that was deliciously smooth. The mini boba were so fun to chew on, and I usually prefer them over the regular size. They provide a ton of boba here as well. The next time I had their yakult green tea and that was very refreshing indeed. Both times my husband went with fruit teas, and had nice remarks to say about both of his drinks. He also tried their new QQubes and their texture was very QQ (I had a sample). We will most certainly return to Wushiland, especially since it's so accessible. Prices are standard, and honestly for the amount of tea you get, it's very worth.

    Wushiland has some pretty good milk tea and fruit tea drinks. You can get brewed teas, yakult teas,…read morebrown sugar drinks, macchiatos and even ice cream drinks, which not a lot of other boba shops have. And you can get an extra shot of tea if you want your drank strong. Prices range from $5.25-$7. I've tried the roasted oolong milk tea and the grapefruit green tea and they've been on point. I usually get them both at 50% sweetness. Another thing they offer here that some other shops don't have are the mini boba balls. My friend ordered the uji matcha latte macchiato with the mini balls, and he wanted another one to-go! The shop is a tad small and cozy(ish) since the seats and tables are close together. The theme is very colors of a bee; black and yellow. There's a long bench with cushions so it's a good place to sip and chill, and people come here to study it seems. Ive been here a few times mainly on a Saturday and all 3x it's been busy. They have 2 kiosks you can order from, or you can order from a human. Wushiland choose a good area of Sac to post up shop because it's the currently the only boba drink shop (for now) near Hollywood Park/Land Park and very close to Sac City College. They're located in the corner of a strip mall type plaza. And parking isn't too bad. Overall, good drinks for a reasonable price and service is decent. They have a fun logo, too. I would definitely come back here to try more of their drinks!
