    I'm not sure why this has taken so long, but I've been going to Barrio for a little over a year now... daily. It's become part of my routine so I figured I'd give them the love they deserve for keeping me caffeinated through my long days of State service. First and foremost, Andrea is one of the best baristas I've had the pleasure of receiving coffee from. She always has time for conversation even when there's a line and always gets my drink right. It does tend to get busy, but the staff are on point so the wait is never too bad even if a line looks long. Speaking of drinks, the honey lavender latte is a must try. The drinks and food items are probably the best deal you'll get in the area. I can typically get a latte and a fresh baked goodie for around $9. Try doing that at any of Star/Dutch/Peets without spending $15. You can also get .75 cents off your drink if you bring your own (clean) cup/thermos. Their baked foods vary daily (see photo for today's empanadas), but definitely recommend the egg and chorizo empanada and the cinnamon roll croissant. These are all made at their sister store (Venus Taproom) and brought in daily. This is a very cozy local spot, so if you like quality, service, and supporting local businesses definitely give Barrio a shot.

    My coworkers and I were in need of a little pick-me-up, so we stopped by for coffee and empanadas. Unfortunately, they were already sold out of most of the empanadas a little after 10am, with only the mushroom left. The chicken tinga is my favorite, so I was definitely disappointed they were out, so I'll have to come earlier next time! I ordered the churro latte with almond milk, and as always, it was delicious. The staff are consistently friendly and greet us right when we walk in, which makes the experience even better.

    First time!

    Needing to catch up with a fellow friend/colleague, I suggested that we take a stroll to Barrio Downtown to grab a cup of Jane. Being that it was my first visit, initially I didn't realize that this cozy establishment is a coffee shop (I have worked in the downtown area for over 10 years). Upon entering we were warmly greeted by an enthusiastic barista ready to take our orders. Since it was my first visit, I inquired about the barista's personal favorite drinks. She suggested the Signature Churro and the Pumpkin Churro. Since it is officially the Fall season, I opted to try the Pumpkin Churro that was on the Fall menu. After taking one sip of my Pumpkin Churro, I realized that I made the right choice. It very much so tasted like a churro (which I love on occasion) with a slight hint of pumpkin flavor. Although I'm not in the downtown area often, I look forward to making a return visit to try the regular Churro Latte and one of their pastries (as recommended by my wife). Thank you Barrio Downtown!

    So happy I stopped into Barrio on my drive through Sacramento! Unfortunately, I was unable to try the food since we arrived 30 min to close and everything was sold out (that must mean it's really good!), but the coffee menu was extensive and staff were super friendly. I ordered a summer special, the purple daze (condensed milk, ube cold foam) and my mom ordered their signature churro latte, both iced. We both loved our drinks! My ube latte was so thick it was difficult to drink but once mixed up it was amazing! My mom usually only drinks black coffee but was so happy with her churro latte, it was sweet and cinnamony and went quick. If Barrio was closer to SF I'd be trying every drink on the menu! We were on a road trip so were hoping to use a restroom - staff were super helpful in recommending the apartment building next door, which were kind enough to accommodate. Highly recommend! Next time I'm in Sacramento I'll definitely stop by.

    Can I just say this place is the best start and end to my work week!!!! You just cant go wrong with a coffee made by Dre!! She is the light at the beginning of my Monday and the start of my Friday! A true artist at work! The friendly faces behind the counter truly make everything about this little coffee shop feel like home! I highly recommend to everyone in the area stop in and give this place a try, from the pastries to the empanadas to the amazingly crafted coffees, you can never go wrong!

    I love this place when I can catch them when they are open. The ladies are so sweet. I've tried the empanadas~Birria, Veggie, and Breakfast all so good. The samosas so good too! The drinks are yummy. I've had their Raspberry Mocha, Raspberry Matcha, Cherry Matcha, and Caramel Latte

    I love this cute little spot. I am so happy it reopened and they even have empanadas and other baked goods to pair with a cup of coffee or other morning drink. Always am greeted with a warm welcome and smile.

    Coffee was coffeeing! Customized Caramelita. Got me going! And the EMPANADAS ARE BACK! How good are they? Good enough to have me wait for their arrival. Don't judge me, but i ordered all three. They had mushroom cheese, breakfast, and samosa. They came with 4 different sauces on the side! Breakfast and lunch combo all in one. Glad they re-opened and I definitely will be back.

I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

One thing I especially appreciated is how they treat pets. It's clear they care, every dog that came in got a treat, which was a really nice touch. The coffee is excellent, not over-roasted like in a lot of places. While you're waiting in line, they even offer samples, which is awesome. I had a latte with regular milk and was very happy with it. As for the food, the bacon and onion croissant really stood out, very tasty ( though I imagine it would be even better warm ). The caramel apple cheesecake was also incredible, delicious and not overly sweet, even though the name might make you think otherwise. Overall, if you get a chance to stop by for breakfast, you definitely won't regret it. Thank you!

As typical with Temple Coffee, the quality of the drinks are top notch and really is the gold standard in Sacramento. Prices are on the higher side for these premium selections so be aware of that if you haven't been to a Temple before. This location is a bit smaller and has less unique features than other ones. It's perfectly serviceable for a cafe, but the ambiance isn't on par when you compare them. The service, however, was superb. I found the baristas there to be very friendly and warm. It's hard to go wrong with Temple, and if you/re looking for a great coffee drink and near this one, it's certainly worth the visit!

A cute outside patio and plenty of room to sit inside. I got the Pink Chai and my friend and i took our drinks to a park down the street which really set the scene: spring day in the park with a friend and a great beverage. The drink was very hot, which ended up being perfect because I had to enjoy it slowly. The flavor profile was subtle and well balanced, not overpowering or too sweet. I'm a big fan of cardamom and pistachio, so getting both in one drink felt like a win, and they worked beautifully together. The pistachio added a nice, nutty finish. I don't distinctly remember tasting the fennel, but it may have been part of what made the overall flavor feel so smooth. I guess I'll just have to come back and order it again. All in all, Qisa was a treat. Im planning on moving in a few months and started looking at apartment listings near by that would allow me to come to Qisa more often. Highly recommend!

He recommended the Vanilla Bourbon latte with sweet cold foam and it was fireeee. I recommend adding cinnamon powder on top. The vibe here is also really unique. I know the car in the middle might throw some people off at first, but I honestly love the minimal/open layout and how there's space between tables instead of cramming everyone together. The aesthetic is super nice, and there's also a giant mirror if you want cute pics with your friends. The drinks are a little pricey for the size, so this will probably be more of a treat-yourself spot for me, but overall I had a great experience. Good wifi, good seating, great vibes all around.
