    We were visiting Elk Grove and wanted some coffee, saw some good reviews on Carpenter Coffee and stopped by. We got the hazelnut latte and it was actually really good. It had actual hazelnut flavor. However the price was a little steep for it being a small cup. I totally understand small businesses, but just putting that out there so no one is surprised! Would come back though :)

    Cute little coffee spot in the heart of Elk Grove. I've always drove past by it but never stopped to give it a try. I finally did last week and enjoyed every sip of my iced vanilla latte. I asked for it to be extra sweet and my drink came out perfect. The barista (male) was kind and polite. There's an area for you to sit in with a shade over you for those hot summer days. I'll come back for sure to try their other drinks. Highly recommended

    I've past past dy Carpenter Coffee for yrs when dropping my son off at school over the years. And loved the idea of a small "mom & pops" coffee business, being around and thriving in the area. And finally made the opportunity to stop in this morning with my girlfriend, for drinks and small bites after a Sunday morning of Jiu Jitsu. It wasn't until now that I got a full understanding of how popular Carpenter Coffee is, as I saw the private parking almost full and patrons in line to both order and pickup. And other customers dining in the outdoor seating area. Looking online in advance helped us with ordering the following: Drinks: Iced Dirty Chai Latte Vanilla Iced Latte Food: Avocado toast Jalapeño & cheddar bagel w/cream cheese For flavoring in the coffee drinks, 4 pumps of sweetener is standard, but definitely play that by ear based on on your preference. We typically do 1 pump at home with our Espresso, so anything more than that tastes really sweet. And my girlfriend expecting that with half sweet (2 pumps) in her Dirty Chai Latte and even that still felt too sweet for her. I personally liek the flavor which reminded me of Yemeni Coffee, but next time she'd go with 1 pump of flavor since Cardamon already adds it own sweetness to drinks. My drinks was fine and tasted good, but I might try half sweet next next to see the difference plus it's half the sugar for that's always better in general. Both of us really liked our baked items (gf: Avocado toast with Microgreens, and me: Jalapeño &Cheddar bagel with cream cheese). I'd just opt for less cream cheese next time, since when biting down it was squeezing out the sides a good bit. Overall: Really good coffee drinks and baked goods. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. And our drinks came out quick, and the food was ready shortly after that. Would highly recommend checking them out if ever in the area.

    Delicious ice vanilla latte with oat milk
    Asma S.

    Okay so I was in a hurry & I needed a quick pick me up during lunch time from work . This place was close to me and it was my first time discovering it. Omg as I pulled up I was giddy by how cute this roaster is. It's tucked away in a corner with plenty of shade . Tip : there is not a lot of parking space so be prepared to park somewhere else if it's full. Service was friendly and quick . I ordered the iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it just hit the spot! Super strong coffee with a hint of sweetness, not overpowering sugary coffee. I drank my coffee in the shade , they have benches and table outside . This is not a brick and mortar cafe . Seating is outside which I loved because it was nice to get fresh air . Will definitely be back.

    Carpenter Coffee Roasters was a delicious spot to stop and get some treats with a friend. They are a truck style stop, not a shop, but they had plenty of seating options! The food was delicious, I got the avocado toast. I also got a dirty chai to drink which was delicious as well. Service was quick and staff was very friendly!

    Quickly greeted, service was great! It was just one guy. But he was really sweet and it was an easy ordering/transaction. I'm glad there's a huge sign to make it known that's where the truck is located. Parking is very limited, luckily it was empty when I stopped by. I LOVE mochas, so I tried their monthly special the Irish Cream Mocha. It was so smooth, delicious, and creamy! I've never had anything like it. It had a nutty and slightly fruity aftertaste. Perfect pick me up! I've had their raspberry mocha at a pop event previously and was in loveee! Can't wait to come back and try other yummy drinks they have. I hope they expand and move into a shop/store. That way it's more accessible and has indoor seating and more parking spaces. Or even a drive thru coffee shop like Dutch Bros. For a small business, the quality of everything is impressive!!! Come check them out, worth a visit!!

    Pumpkin pie latte with whipped cream

    This has become my new coffee craving! It's a small spot but I've never had trouble with parking. If the lot is full, there's street parking around the corner. A nice quick pick up and go kinda place. Their vanilla latte is always a consistent, good choice but i love their seasonal menus. Not a whole lot of food options but I am a fan of their toasts. Avocado, jam, and Nutella toast options have all been delicious when I've tried. I hope this place ends up expanding and finding an indoor location!

    mid matcha latte

    Their matcha latte was not great. I could tell by looking at the color of the drink when I received it that it wasn't going to be flavorful. The color of the drink was too light of a green color -- an obvious sign to me that this drink is going to be too milky and that you will barely taste the matcha flavor. And that's exactly what happened. Their matcha latte is straight up milk with a subtle hint of matcha. This drink might be appealing to someone who doesn't really like matcha that much (because you can't taste it). The matcha lattes I tend to like are a darker green color, where you can really taste the matcha powder, but this matcha latte was not that. They did not put enough matcha powder, and any flavor was drowned out by milk. Not sure if the type of matcha powder they use is also a factor, though... I likely wont come back to get matcha here, but if I happen to for some reason, I'll probably ask for an extra serving of matcha in there. Or I'll get a different drink entirely.

    A Cup (...Containing a Latte)
    Stephanie H.

    Latte was smooth and creamy. As others have mentioned the flavor isn't super strong, but I could taste the espresso in my drink. Quick service. It's located on the property of a house. They're set up in a trailer. I didn't think there was of spaces for cars to park in front of the trailer. It would probably be helpful to have lines so customers don't pull in every which direction. Overall, good cup of coffee and I always prefer giving my money to local businesses over big corporations when possible!

    I've been here several times and can't believe I haven't written a review yet for this place. Carpenter Coffee Roasters is the best coffee shop in Elk Grove! I tried several drinks from this place, iced lattes, dirty chai, Banana Milk Latte, and my most recent order the Mocha with Banana Milk. Let me first start off by saying customer service here is always a hit. The baristas are nice and the drinks come out in a decent time. I recently order a Mocha with banana milk latte hot, and this drink tasted amazing! It tasted like a chocolate chip banana muffin! Overall I would strongly recommend this place if your looking for a quick coffee to go place. This would be fun to customize your own personal drink with all the flavors they have here.

    Matcha latte
    Manda N.

    A cute coffee cart that represents the best of small local businesses in Elk Grove. I had a matcha latte and it did not disappoint--not too sweet, bitter, chalky, or milky. I do have to mention service was a bit slow, though. There were three people in front of me when I arrived and it took around 25 minutes between me getting in line and getting my drink. But, all in all, I love to see a small business thrive and would return to try more menu items!

    Parking is good , ADA ok on asphalt. I got Chais and banana nut muffin. I really enjoyed the Chai and the muffin was moist and good. Asked for 2 chais one with lite ice one with no ice and they did them good and both were full to rim. They both tasted great ! Covered area with fire pit for meeting with people and couple chairs for seating in front. Not sure if there's a bathroom I didn't ask but also didn't see one.

    iced brown sugar lattes
    Michelle B.

    A little coffee stand, very cute aesthetic. Service was extremely quick. We both got the brown sugar latte which was super good. $6 each. I feel like their coffee has more of a tame flavor than somewhere like Starbucks, but the sweetness was absolutely perfect with the richness of their coffee, yum, very pleased. They had run out of their large cookies though

The people that work there were so cool! I'm thinking about moving to the area and they were really great about giving me a lot of suggestions of neighborhoods to look at. It seems that they specialize in a lot of iced flavored coffees, as that is what I saw most of the people that were there when I was getting. I just wanted a latte with a little bit of honey and cinnamon. Was kind of surprised that they don't carry cinnamon at their shop, that's a coffee shop staple. I did enjoy the latte, though, the roast on the beans was very nice. The vibe in this old home is so cool, lots of people just chatting and hanging out. Was a really great place to pass a little time in a beautiful neighborhood. I would return to this coffee shop. I didn't try any of the pastries that were available, but I did see a case with a selection.

Came in on a Monday around 3 PM after getting off work early and was able to find parking and a place to sit pretty easily. Shoutout to Steven for his amazinggg service like where do you guys find baristas this efficient and talented with customer interactions ! I asked him how the matchas were and he let me know the cafe is more coffee-oriented, but said people still order the matchas a lot. 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. Would definitely recommend checking it out. Thanks Chloe !
