We've lived in Orangevale for over 6 years now and we've always drove by this place. We suppose this was the perfect day to give them a try, and we're glad we did! Badfish has a really nice modern style cafe' vibe with friendly staff and a relaxing environment that allows one to dine inside, outside, or order to-go. To top it off, their food exceeded my expectations! My wife had their gluten free avocado toast (delish and flavorful!) and I had their breakfast burrito with bacon (tasty and filling!)! We also enjoyed their variety in drink selection. I had their famous Flying Dutchman, and my wife had one of their, superfood lattes called, "better than coffee". She liked it because it's not made with tons of sweeten read more

Really good tasty coffee!!! I'm always on the hunt for a new coffee spot and this one is right by my boyfriends job so I stopped by. Very aesthetically pleasing!!! And vegan options are available! WHAT I ORDERED : vanilla latte with oat milk (they have hemp, oat and macadamia from what I remember) I got their oatmeal which I noticed is kinda dry so I'd order a side of milk to pour in it. I also got the avocado toast which id def get again the gluten free bread was bomb. Coffee was very creamy and perfect amount of sweetness!!!! Loved it I'll be back :) read more

good coffee, great space. the worst food. tried avocado toast and breakfast burrito. both I was unable to finish because they were so bad.

Got two drinks the first was drip coffee I asked for cream and sugar they didn't have it available, okay that's fine can I have sugar packets? No they only have simple sugar syrup which is gross. What coffee shop doesn't have sugar packets? And the cream the barista added so much that after one sip I threw it away outside. Next drink was an ice vanilla latte.its literally just a cup of milk that has a hint of vanilla. I don't leave reviews but had to the customer service wasn't very good either. Very disappointed and a waste of money. Would not recommend. Drive to temple coffee if you want real coffee. read more

Badfish Coffee & Tea - This insulated cup does a GREAT job in keeping your drink hot/warm over a 3 hour repose. Well worth it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orangevale, California

Coffee is weak, but the store is beautiful. Both the coffee me and my partner got tasted only like milk, there was no flavor or even a hint of coffee sadly. However, the store is beautiful and worth trying out just for the aesthetic. They have lots for sale, like beanies, hoodies, stickers and more. The branding is great but the quality of the drinks need work. read more

I love the interior and the seating here. It's very convenient for anyone trying to do work or school work. Although it's very loud at times, I'd say it's still a nice place to study at with headphones. The coffee is also really good. They serve chocolate fish coffee beans and they taste excellent. I ordered a oat mocha hot and it was the right amount of coffee flavor and sweetness. I would definitely recommend coming here. Definitely a nice to place to chit chat as well. read more

Cool hangout spot, in a random part of town. I saw a lot of photos on Instagram from Badfish and knew we had to stop by. The menu is actually pretty limited but they do have food here. We already ate lunch so we'll have to come back and try that out, but on our first visit I tasted the chunky monkey smoothie. Although it has plant protein, it wasn't powdery or chalky from the protein at all. The banana flavor is most prominent along with the peanut butter and it was really filling. There are plenty of seats and tables, and even outlets which is important to know for people who bring their laptops! And it's nicely laid out here so that the seating is spread out and you're not elbow to elbow with the person next to you. I'll be back to try some toast and a matcha latte! read more

I hesitated to check out this coffee place because of it's location; it is situated in not the most inviting commercial plaza. But after Yelping it, I decided to give it a try and I loved the whole vibe, the decor and was pleasantly surprised by how comfy and cozy it is. It has plenty of space for meetings and a lot of little great study nooks, but what I really like is that they have a small separate room with a couch, a few very comfortable chairs, a book rack and family games to enjoy. It is also possible to reserve this room making it completely private. This private room in the back is always available to use by public but to reserve it for a private party is $30 for 90 minutes. The best part of all of this is that this $30 actually goes to your credit to use anytime for their coffee or food, so basically you get your room for free and you can use a the credit anytime you want. But I did come here mainly to try out the coffee, so I ordered my usual almond milk latte and it was made to perfection. I absolutely enjoyed it and next day I was back here with my wife to show her this new amazing place, and second time around the coffee was made perfect as well! Today I decided to try out their food and ordered their specialty avocado toast, it was made fresh, delicious, with a choice of spices and sauces and mixed greens on top. There are a few coffee places in Orangevale and so far this is my top location: great coffee, delicious food and a perfect spot to study, meet or simply enjoy a good cup of coffee. read more

Cute little shop in a decaying area of Orangevale, it's very rustic modern inside. Unfortunately their drink selection is fairly limited, and both my drink and my husbands were unimpressive at best especially considering the prices they were charging. I ordered a blended coffee and it was an icy mess, and had virtually no flavor. It was a disappointing $5.25 spent. My husband got a chunky monkey (chocolate PB and banana) and it was served in a little mason jar. Cute, but not worth the money. We also ordered a couple paninis to share with our kiddos and besides super undercooked bacon, the lemon pepper added a lot of zip to the sandwich and it was very flavorful, but for $7 I wouldn't purchase it again. It was about the size of a Panera sandwich. If you want a quiet place to sit and do some work or reading this mug he be the place for you, but if you want actually good coffee beverages then head over to the human bean instead! read more

Their coffee has never disappointed but this review is specifically for their waffle sandwich. That waffle was a nice CRISPPAAY! The nicely toasted bacon and egg is delightfully cheesy-- i was a little late for my pickup order (it got a tiny bit cold) but it was still extremely satisfying. And that waffle! It was nutty oat flavor. The little bits of cheese that oozed over the sides became nice fatty toasted edges that gave light crisp texture. I'm looking forward to coming back for their other food items as well. read more

The coffee was good but nothing amazing and the service was subpar - there were 3 workers and it felt like pulling teeth to have a friendly conversation. The air felt stiff, very different from the cozy warm decor vibe they were going for. read more

Overall: 5/5 Great service, great ambiance and great coffee. Relaxed cafe vibe with a contemporary menu--I'll definitely be stopping here anytime I'm in the area. Espresso con panna: 10/10 (Aka double espresso with whip) Coffee and whipped cream has great flavor. Bold and very smooth. Breakfast panini on sourdough: 8.5/10 Nice chunky slices of sourdough. The lemon pepper oil balances out the cheese really well--only thing missing would be an option to add meat. Chunky Monkey smoothie: 10/10 Can't really beat the peanut butter, cold brew and chocolate combo! Love that they use plant protein :) read more

I like the people. I like the vibe. I think their espresso is some of the worst I have ever tasted, particularly for a place that styles itself (imagines itself?!?) as a spot geared to a crowd as at least as sophisticated as, say, the Mountain Dew folks at a truck stop in West Virginia at 3:00 a.m. I've tried the Greenback location a few times, thinking the barista was new at the job, perhaps not packing in enough coffee, which might explain the thin, highly acidic result with a profile that in no way resembles coffee, but now I think it's simply that they're using horrible coffee to begin with. Fine place perhaps for tea or something, but NOT for what purports to be coffee! I have no reason to doubt the owners could do better - would do better - if they got a little help pulling it together. read more

We drove a little out of our way just to check this place out after hearing good things via social media. It can be a little hard to find unless you're looking for it or are familiar with the area. The interior is a bit like a neighborhood coffee shop, with displays of art and other pieces made by local artists. They had infused water for customers which was a nice touch. The pastries looked tasty but nothing gluten free so I didn't partake. My latte made up for the lack of gf options. I ordered a latte with almond milk and a shot of caramel syrup and it was so good. My barista definitely knew what she was doing. It was the perfect temperature, velvety consistency, and just sweet enough for me. Customer service was impeccable too. They host music acts here and other events like movie night which is cool. If Badfish wasn't so out of my way I would visit more often. read more

What an awesome Coffee shop right in the heart of Orangevale! As I was driving by I saw Badfish Coffee and immediately it caught my attention (thought the name was so cool). It is located right off Greenback between Walnut and Main. There's a few other shops around it and if you're not paying attention you can easily miss it. As I walked in I was greeted by a nice gentleman (he's in one of the pics). Their menu is very plain and straight to the point. Badfish remind me of FourScore in Roseville, Pause in Fair Oaks or Cat & Cloud in Santa Cruz. The decorations inside are off the hook. There's some cool paintings on the wall and a small display in the center where you can purchase coffee or other awesome stuff. Now onto the coffee! On my first try I had the White Mocha and it was excellent. Today I had just plain Mocha and it was even better! I can definitely say this probably is one of the best iced Mochas I had so far and it's on the par with FourScore or even better. If you're in the area or down the road I strongly recommend trying Badfish Coffee!!! My final take: Service 5 Stars Coffee 5 Stars Vibe 5 Stars read more

Badfish has become one of my go-to coffee shops! Drinks are always delicious with unique flavors of lattes, and lots of alternative milk options besides just your standard almond/oat. And don't sleep on the breakfast sandwiches, or pasties, which also have gluten free alternatives. Super nice staff, cute shop with local art, great for breakfast or hanging out. read more

Cool coffee place! The service was great and Americano was excellent! I will definitely be coming back in my next business trip through the area. read more

Wonderful place. Great coffee!!!! When the world is open they are a community hang out, when the world is closed they have contactless pick up. This is a family-owned, community focused business with excellent customer service and amazing coffee and goodies. They have some specialities that tie in with the yoga place in the same strip. The owners help the community so much. This is just a 5 star place. I can't say enough good things about Badfish Coffee. read more

I stopped in here Sunday morning to try this place out, after reading multiple reviews I wanted to experience the place for myself. I came in place was rather empty it was still pretty early on Sunday morning, however the staff greeted me as I walked in very friend and upbeat. Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and will be back for the relaxing environment. I ordered a Chai and avocado toast on sourdough, it was very delicious and very filling. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! I come here every weekend to work on dissertation and it provides a good environment that isn't too loud or chaotic. The staff are very nice, the coffee is great! There are many outlets for plugging in laptops, and the seats are comfortable. They also sell local artist's work. I have purchased some earrings that I am very happy with! I appreciate a local business who supports local people. My only wish is they had more vegan food options. My partner (not a vegan) loves their food, but i haven't tried much due to eating mostly vegan. They have all the vegan drink options, which is GREAT!!! read more

This place is the best coffee shop hands down! Always some fun seasonal drink options to try, great quality coffee and tea, syrups made in house, diverse food options that include healthy and gluten free items (for my brother), and fantastic employees that leave you with a smile on your face! This is far from the closest coffee shop to me and I still make an effort to go out of my way to go to this little shop. read more

Love this coffee shop. super friendly staff & they are able to answer any questions that you may have. The inside has a nice home-y feel with some rustic, hipster vibes as well they have a variety of coffee drinks, non-coffee such as chai & matcha,etc. they also have food options like bagels with cream cheese, avocado toast, and desserts. I personally ordered an iced vanilla whole milk latte & a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese and my total was under $10. And I am loving the taste of both items, I would recommend this place to anyone & I will definitely be back VERY soon This is 4 days later. I went back in and asked them to put my iced vanilla latte in my own reusable glass instead of a plastic cup. And they were so eager to do so. maybe some day they will encourage others to bring in reusable cups and maybe give them a discount off their drink read more

I came for a coffee date with my daughter who is a barista and loves to try new locally owned coffee shops. I found Badfish on Instagram and knew we had to try it out! I was pleasantly surprised when i came on a Sunday afternoon, an hour before closing. Only the firemen were here! The staff is super friendly, decor is awesome & the avo toast (micro greens and hemp seeds) & iced latte was super delish. They also have some gift items for sale. Come check them out!!!

This review is based on a single cup of coffee I got there and for the nice young ladies working behind the counter. My usualy drink is weird; I like a big cup with two shots of decaf then filled with ice. I speak for hours at a time at my job and find it good to have slightly coffee flavored ice to sip off of. Putting ice in the espresso really shows off the coffee's attributes. If it's acidic you'll know it right away. If the shot has that warm, chocolately taste then it will taste good in the ice for hours. Overly bitter coffee or coffee made in unclear equipment is really obvious when it's cold. Badfish made me a really good cup! I would have taken some of the good looking baked goods too but I'm trying to cut down. It's also close to the freeway and you can park right next to the place, both positives for me since I travel so much. read more
