    I stopped in to have a balanced coffee and it did not disappoint. I decided to try their Golden Bear turmeric chia iced and it was delightful. The cute shop nestled between shops was a pleasant surprise I don't think I would have ever noticed it if it weren't for the Sacramento coffee crawl. It is definitely a cutie little hidden gem. The barista was fast and greater with a smile. this was a nice visit with great chia. I highly recommend you stop by and give them a try.

    this is the best chai i've had in probably the last at least five years. I love the flavor. I have gotten their lavender chai with oat milk twice in the last three weeks, and I rarely go back to the same places. The staff is so friendly. Great atmosphere to do work in. They sell artwork by various local artists which is a fun touch.

    Came in to celebrate Balance's day me year anniversary! Immediately greeted by owner, Nancy who is so kinda and warm! I brought my dog in and got some cute pictures of him which made their way to balance's IG story. For a drink I got the iced oat milk MatChai (combo of chai and matcha - my two faves) and it was absolutely delicious! Especially with the coconut whipped cream on top! I also got the Matcha cocoa cookie, which was delicious and the paired perfectly together. I love the space and all the plants and decor and everything here is just absolutely lovely and if you haven't been, I would highly recommend it. There so many amazing drinks, good treats, and overall a fun and chill space.

    Balance Coffee is small coffee shop in Midtown Sac. I've been here once previously and had the Barn, and I tried the Vanilla Chai most recently. I love that they are a vegan business and provide oat milk for all their drinks, as this is my milk alternative of choice. It was sweet, but not overly so, and I easily drank it down. Although the couple of drinks I've tried haven't made too much of an impression on me, it's still a great option for a coffee stop if you're in the area. As a plus, there's a good amount of parking in front of the businesses on this street. Also, I saw on their website that the owner gives back a portion of the profits. Who wouldn't want to support a local, woman-owned business like Balance?!

    I was first introduced to Balance Coffee through their mobile coffee truck, the addition of this brick and mortar location is great and makes it easy for customers to find them all week long. The space is open and bright with some seating inside. The team here is always friendly and every time I've been in has greeted me right away. Everything here is vegan, and even if you're not vegan you'll want to try it all. The drinks are so flavorful and high quality. I love their coffees and chai. They also carry some baked goods from local businesses like Brown Rice Bakery and they pair perfectly with the drinks. They also sell coffee, soaps, and some other fun gift items. I always like to see what they have while I wait for my drink to be ready. I would definitely recommend trying this spot out.

    Tried Golden Bear today. House made chai, oat milk, turmeric. I love the spice blend. The barista was friendly and engaged with customers. Great place to get work done.

    I recently visited Balance Coffee Shop after discovering them on the Explore Midtown Pass! Balance Coffee Shop's brick and mortar is relatively new (open for less than a year); however, they also do pop-ups at the Midtown farmers' market on weekends! The shop itself is super cute and the macramé wall art gave the space a very bohemian vibe. When I walked in, the barista was friendly and double checked to confirm our orders before making them. I appreciated her attention to detail, so that my partner and I would have our orders made just right. I ordered the Matchapan, which I was told was a "secret menu item." If you know, you know! We decided to give Balance Coffee Shop a try since we love that they're committed to crafting drinks with less sugar, and you can definitely taste the difference! The matcha had a very unique flavor profile, especially with the mazapan notes. It felt like an acquired taste at first, but definitely one I can get behind guilt free!

    This coffee shop is located at the Midtown farmers market. I arrived around 12 pm and the line was not too long. Each coffee is around $7 which isn't too bad. Unfortunately, I was a bit upset because when I received my drink it wasn't filled up all the way. The picture I have included is after I took a tiny sip out of my drink, i had to make sure the drink at least tasted good after paying $7 for an under filled coffee. Anyways, the employees are kind and the drinks are worth it.

    Grabbed coffee here before I drove back to LA. It was cute and their coffee was amazing. I got The One and it was delicious. Definitely recommend if you find yourself needing some caffeine in midtown Sacramento.

    In the bustling part of midtown, there is a quaint lil coffee shop, amongst many in the area as I may say, that stands out from the rest. Balance Coffee shop brings a very cozy/artistic vibe to your morning coffee routine. My first step in the door I was greeted by an employee and offered us many recommendations. I chose the award winning Karma drink and I can see why they won awards for this. The coffee seems sourced from high quality and the flavors of drinks are very innovative. I'll come back weekly for this place.

    I pass by this coffee shop often and have always wanted to give it a try. While waiting for my haircut, I decided to pop in and check it out. There were two staff workers working the counter--both very sweet. As I was looking at the menu, one of the workers asked if it was my first time here and took the time to run through the menu with me (i.e. popular items, customizations, etc.) which I appreciated as she took the time to make suggestions based off of what I would typically get at other coffee spots. The inside of the shop has a nice, clean aesthetic that is welcoming. There are some seats alongside the wall but not many. For my drink of choice, I went with the Cali Matcha and added pistachio syrup. The drink automatically comes with oat milk but of course you can alter it as desired. I wanted to like this place so bad but unfortunately did not. The drink tasted like watered down pistachio syrup. No taste of matcha, no cream taste/feel from the oat milk, and there were matcha clumps in my drink ( ・・ ) I may come back to try some of the other drinks as I see others have given some nice reviews on them, but I'm not eager to make another visit any time soon.

    I've visited Balance a couple times already and love the space. Balance Me Out was and still is a mobile coffee truck and you can still catch the truck at various markets and around the Sacramento/EG area. Taking the space of former Drip Espresso, the interior is small but quaint and chill. I love coming on Sunday mornings and things are very chill and slow. There are in house pastries and drinks are the perfect amount of sweetness (not overly sweet) and non dairy. There are certain drinks you can order as dairy so there is something for everyone. Today my order was the Mazapán Latte which is an oat milk base. Finally, a mazapán latte that's non dairy! It comes iced only. Also got the strawberry banana nut bread. Order came out quick and I was able to sit & relax a bit. The barista helping me was informative and she was able to answer my questions about the latte being non dairy. She was afraid I was going to change my mind but as soon as I heard oat milk base, I was 100% all in. Had a feeling it was non dairy but wanted to make sure. The owner of Balance typically makes her drinks non dairy and she's known for making them less sweet. Extensive menu with the usual drink selections you can find from the mobile truck plus coffee staples and beans to purchase. Always love coming here and love that Balance Me Out now has a brick & mortar! Parking is easy since there are spaces to pull into and there's street parking too. So, come in & stay awhile!

    Came here for a Yelp event. Checked in at the front register since it's just them crossing out your name on a paper and giving you some Yelp goodies. Coffee was not good, staff was nice. My friend and I ordered their iced Camila coffee - not good. Tasted flat and not much like coffee. My other friend ordered the berry lemonade and said that was good. Staff were really nice and it wasn't too busy. But I really didn't care much for their coffee.

    Awesome Iced Espresso Drink Is My New Addiction!…read more SITREP I've been coming to Chloé Cà Phê & Roastery now since late Winter and it has become my go-to spot to post and enjoy coffee in my neighborhood (and it's only 3 blocks away from where I live, so that's a big plus!) THE SETUP I was only a "Daily Brew" sort of guy when I started coming here 7 months ago, but then a couple of months ago I was turned onto their Ca Phe Su Da - four (4) Espresso shots served over ice! I was sold! Most of the time, I get it "as is". Sometimes I throw in a bag of Splenda. Sometimes I add a spoonful of heavy cream. Sometimes I add in both: depends on my mood. But now I have a new favorite "go-to" coffee beverage, and it's deLISH and it hits the spot! THE LOWDOWN Chloe has an amazing menu of coffee offerings that you need to check out! It's got awesome indoor seating, some nice DJ music offerings at times, and an excellent place to meet up with friends and/or just post with your laptop a spell!

    In a nutshell; relatively unique cafe with their own merch to boot…read more Drawn by the really cute chowchow sign out front, youll see yourself entering and immediately get drawn by car they have displayed in the middle of their establishment. Honestly my first thoughts were, "why is there a car in here?" but Im sure car enthusiasts would fancy seeing a luxurious prestige vehicle in a cafe and everyone else would find it interesting as it is unusual for a cafe to just have a car right in the middle of its establishment. 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.

The place is called Tomo Tea House on N Freeway Blvd in Natomas. Their parking situation is pretty good as they have a huge lot that they share with many other popular businesses. It's the cutest little shop and they have the cutest interior with a few tables inside for customers. They have a kiosk one can order from but I ordered at the regular cashier. They have a pretty good display case which features many of their mochi donuts available that day. This particular visit was kind of unique in that I went there towards the end of business day,so I was able to pick up six donuts for only $1 each,so I ended up getting a lot more donuts than usual. I can 100% say that after eating all six donuts they do make a quality mochi donut and they really nailed the proper texture and sweetness level. Let's rank the donuts I picked up that day. 1. Chocolate With Fruity Pebbles-5/5-I really enjoyed the over the top sweetness of the toppings with the subdued sweetness of the donut. 2. Cookies N Cream-4/5-Im a pretty big fan of Cookies n Cream so this flavor combo really worked. 3. Churro-3.75/5-i think they pulled off the churro flavor pretty well and I really enjoyed this donut. 4. Funnel Cake-2.5/5- I'm not the biggest fan of Funnel Cake,so I'm probably the wrong audience but yeah just didn't enjoy it too much. 5. Ube-1.5/5- like the funnel cake,not a massive fan of Ube flavor so this flavor profile didn't work for me-sadly I had two of these. Overall I really enjoyed my visit to this shop and they currently are my go-to spot for mochi donuts in the Natomas area. They have a really high quality product here.
