Even though I'm not a coffee drinker, I frequent this place with a group of friends and with my family on occasion. They're open by 6 AM and have an excellent staff. 1. The smashed avocado with the works is amazing. The Dukkah seasoning and sunflower sprouts is a nice take on avo toast. 2. I love ice cream so I also really like their Gunther's Ice Cream affogato. Not a coffee/espresso drinker, but goes great with ice cream. Together, almost forms like a caramel concoction. I can't speak for the coffee, but as a person also going with oriole who are, this is a popular choice for them. read more

Came back to give it another try, same disappointment . -Scone: dry and dense -matcha latte-probably one of the worst I've ever had. The quality is very low(I'm a matcha expert). The color is a dull olive green and the flavor is pure bitterness. I'm so confused, why do people come here? read more

It's pretty spacious inside, with additional seating outside. I tried their Mint Lavender Latte, and it was just okay for me. It took a while for my drink to come out, and it was a bit too milky. I could still taste a hint of mint, but the lavender flavor was barely noticeable. read more

their seasonal tiramisu latte was excellent. They had some other fun seasonal drinks as well. The pastries looked yummy, but we were sort of in a rush, so didn't get a pastry this time. The worker was very helpful in ensuring that I got the right grind on my beans that I was taking home. There's lots of seating, and even an outdoor patio to enjoy your drink. read more

This is another solida coffee option in the Sacramento area. Parking is a bit hit or miss, but if you're willing to walk a little bit you should find a spot down one of the side streets relatively easily. It's definitely a neighborhood spot and it's easy to walk to for people who live nearby. I end up stopping in when I visit Freeport Bakery or Marie's Donuts, in fact my latest stop in was because of Freeport Bakery. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating and the baristas are typically friendly and efficient. The cafe is warm, welcoming and was decorated for the holidays. I ordered a flat white and it was ready within a few minutes. It tasted great and was the perfect morning pick me up before meeting up with friends for the holidays. I loved that they were also highlighting other local businesses and gift ideas, plus they have plenty of coffee and gift sets if you're looking for something to bring home for yourself or others. read more

Stopped by to get my caffeine fix, as I was in the area. Saw that they had a few seasonal drinks. The banana bread latte sounded amazing, so decided to give it a try. It was delicious and tasted just like banana bread in a cup! read more

Tiramisu Latte w/ oatmilk Employees on bar pulling espresso shots that sat in their cups for 7+ minutes before being made into their respective drinks. Even my non-coffee drinking partner noticed the issues that were going on behind the bar. Literally the worst latte I've had since moving to Sacramento and will not be back! The inside is nice but gets busy from Marie's across the street. read more

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Coffee Fish yet! I visited again today with my bff. Warm, inviting, happy folks visiting on this cold rainy day. I had a chai latte (with almond milk -- my go to) which was ready in minutes, hot and delicious. My friend's latte was beautifully foam decorated, and she enjoyed it. The baristas and servers are always engaging and happy. And it's right there near Freeport Bakery and Marie's! Such a deal! read more

I was exploring the area and found this great coffee shop. It was nice and quiet when I walked it since it was close to closing time. There is a small parking lot, ample outdoor seating and indoor seating. Perfect place to work on your laptop or read a book. Staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered a hot Matcha latte with oat milk. My order came out quick. The Matcha latte was just sweet enough with a good amount of earthy Matcha flavor. I'll definitely come back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area. read more

The skinny: Decent coffee Welcoming vibe Clean bathrooms The lengthy: A morning date with the wife; trying to taste all of the Sacramento roasters. I got a drip coffee (Honduras), she got a standard latte. Both were decent although neither were amazing. Certainly a step above the chain coffee places (let the reader understand). $10 for a couple of drinks. I hope to be back for beans (in-house is nice but way more expensive!) as i continue making my rounds through the different coffee roasters. read more

I love the NZ theme of the art and decor! It really took me back to my trip to NZ last year. It's important to remember that the drinks here are New Zealand style. I ordered the chai, forgetting that I didn't care for the chai in New Zealand- I found it way too sweet and barely spiced. This drink was much the same; more like sweetened, mildly flavored milk than tea. Maybe I should have stuck to coffee, but I'm a tea girl. Ambiance: A bit loud on a Friday morning, but love the look of it and plenty of seating available. Closes rather early at 5 pm. read more

We stopped by to grab a coffee and a bite to eat on a beautiful day. The cashier was super sweet, we ordered an Americano, an iced coffee and avocado toast. We sat outside on the patio surrounded by flowers. It was nice since we just arrived from Michigan to visit family, so it was a beautiful setting for us to get some coffee and the much needed caffeine boost. The drinks were great, the avocado toast was fine, nothing special. read more

Chocolate Fish is a family friendly coffee shop. It has plenty of space to sit inside and a few spaces outside. I went on a Saturday morning with my son, it does get busy. I ordered a black coffee, it was OK - I didn't stay there very long to enjoy it. I also ordered a pumpkin butter toast, very delicious. Our son loved it! Parking is hard at this location. There are limited spaces, so you'll have to use street parking. Customer service is ok, they get your order and give it to you. My phone was out of memory and I couldn't take any photos. read more

First time here, was a pleasant experience. I'm not the biggest fan of coffee, but what they recommended was the flat white and it was super yummy. They even did latte art and it was super cute! The barista Roxanne was super nice to me! Definitely recommend this place! Will be coming back again! read more

At last! A perfectly prepared flat white! After years of searching, and eventually giving up, I'm so pleased to have finally found an authentic New Zealand style coffee! Chocolate Fish coffee roasters is located off a busy street called Freeport with very limited parking, particularly as it shares space near an exercise place. This spot is amazing and I can't wait to return to have one of their avocado toasts! If you are a connoisseur of perfectly prepared, New Zealand coffee, then this is the place you simply must go! read more

Nice spot across from Marie's Donuts. We figured a coffee would pair well with the fresh donuts. Ordered an Ube Latte, Iced White Mocha, and a hot latte. Drinks were good and tasty - a little light on the flavor, but still had flavor. Place was clean and had nice design to it. Would stop by next time I'm around. read more

I've been to this coffee shop a handful of times and at least 50% of the time they have given me regular milk instead of oat milk after I clearly ordered with oat milk. This is due to an allergy. Just an FYI for those out there with an allergy, they do not pay attention to the orders well enough. They also don't really seem to care when you tell them this. read more

Very good matcha quality. They whisk by hand, and the default is unsweetened. This is how you know they have good quality, hate the sugary stuff. Their pastries are great too, got the croissant. Recommend read more

I needed to get some work done so decided to stop here since I was in the area. The last parking lot is very small, probably only 4 spots in total so you may need to park at the neighborhood that is close by. The coffee shop itself was clean and spacious and there were a good amount of seats and I liked that they are closed later on a weekend. I wish they were more transparent about their Wi-Fi issues. The first server I asked for the Wi-Fi told us the information but did not mention any issues. I struggled to find it and went to a second server to ask and it was then relayed to me that their they have been having internet issues the whole day. Luckily I had a hotspot but if I was coming here and expecting Wi-Fi access, it would be nice to be told early on about any issues. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and I enjoyed the latte art. However, I did not really care for the taste, it wasn't anything special that would make me want to come back. My cousin got their peppermint hot chocolate and I personally thought that was much better than the matcha latte. read more

Everything about this plac is great. From the nice inside to the pasties and coffee I love it

Cute coffee house that is usually always bustling. It brings in all different ages from Land Park residents, to students and families. Why the 3 stars? Not because of the service because they are always helpful and cheerful. It's because of my order and how when I ask for my latte to be extra hot and say it more than once, it still comes to me lukewarm. You can say it's a pet peeve of mine but it definitely drops the rating down a couple of stars. (Sigh) read more

Very expensive basic coffee and pastries . Staff was not welcoming . Hard to park location.

Cute little spot on Freeport. Easy out front parking. Small front patio with decent afternoon sun. Ordered a Chai Tea Latte - it was super yummy. Perfect temperature but a teeny bit too sweet for me. My friend had an herbal tea. Nice spot to catch up with a friend over coffee or tea. Family friendly. Nice staff. Clean space. read more

Came for a quick pick me up before returning to work. This spot is in a small plaza with limited parking spaces (3 is all you got, 2 additional spots reserved for people with handicap sticker). There is parking on the streets so you should find some. When you go inside it is nicely decorated with minimal and clean layout. I got a matcha latte with almond milk and it came out to be close to $8 before tip. It was a bit tasteless since I didn't get oat milk but it was good for people with diabetes bc there is sugar taste at all. I checked my blood after drinking 3/4 of the drink and it did not spike my blood sugar. Maybe next time I'll get it with oatmilk if I didn't grab lunch. Anyways they served ceremonial matcha tea. It's not the best matcha latte I ever had but it is doable. I'd come back and get oatmilk next time. read more

Today was my first time at Chocolate Fish! I've been wanting to go here since middle school so I'm glad I finally got to go. I got the lavender fields latte and opted to get regular mocha as opposed to white chocolate which was definitely the move! It was the perfect amount of floralness to chocolate to coffee ratio. I also got the lemon poppy seed bread which was solid as well. The service here is really kind! Multiple people made the effort to help me out and offer recommendations. The ambience and decor is lovely as well. Parking is kind of rough in their 6 car lot but needless to say I will be back! read more

I love the coffee at Chocolate Fish but I don't love the lack of parking. About the coffee: I like a dark roasted bold arabica espresso to kick start my day & that's exactly what I got with my dirty chai. Dirty as in 2 shots of chocolate fish espresso & it was delicious. People line up for their coffee and although the line looks intimidating as it extends out the door, it moves very quickly so don't despair as it's worth the 3.5 minutes you may have to relinquish. I'm just sayin it's worth the wait. About the parking; Chocolate fish coffee roasters is definitely a "walk up" or "bicycle to" coffee house unless you get there super duper early and snag one the 2 spots in front of the store. There is street parking available but one must be mindful of the sineage so you don't get a ticket. On the other hand there is plenty of parking down the boulevard at William land park so why not take a brisk walk to enjoy a cup of Jo from the chocolate fish. read more

Lovely ladies working here. This was my 1st time visiting and I was not disappointed in the least. They roast their own beans and even won 2nd place in a Norcal competition. I bought a bag of their beans to try at home, but the latte I got was very smooth and well balanced. I would come back again. They feature new beans every month to try. Update: beans I brought home were delish. My latte taste has with a smooth finish and well blended flavor notes. read more

As good as I remembered. They stayed consistent even when the ownership changed. I appreciate that Chocolate Fish Coffee continued to use the local Blue Diamond almond milk because it makes my favorite kind of latte. No fuss, just the good stuff. This is the only place I enjoy a plain latte without any sweetener. read more

Cute little community coffee spot. They offer Espresso, coffee, teas and fancy toast. The latte I got was ok, nothing to write home about. It's nice to have a coffee spot like this in the Curtis Park neighborhood. But, coming from the Bay Area where we have outstanding coffee, this spot didn't meet the same standards. I'm spoiled. That said, I'd totally come here again if I'm in the area. For ambiance, it had a nice raised table with bar stools for hanging out and working. Quite a few tables around as well. Brightly lit with a clean decor style. Nice simple space and menu for when you need caffeine. Tiny parking lot. I got lucky! read more

Very good coffee and pastries as well as friendly staff. My wife loves their blended beverage that they make for her. And their location is very good when coming to-from Land Park. read more

I haven't been to this location in years but was much more pleased with my experience this time! Parking is difficult but just need to be patient and find street parking in the neighborhoods. It was surprisingly busy with a line out the door on a Friday morning but it moved quickly. They have expanded their drink menu a bit and also offer seasonal specials! They also have a variety of pastries to order from. I picked the seasonal Pumpkin Chai with oat milk. It was so creamy! It was more chai than pumpkin but still a tasty drink. read more

There are several places I can walk to get coffee close to Midtown and Chocolate Fish is my favorite at the moment. I walked in and ordered the drip coffee I usually do. Drip is a reasonable price here too- $3.75. They were out of Honduras, and so I got a Papua New Guinea instead. It was delicious. Lighter than I usually like, but bright and still full of flavor. Then, the barista brought me a cup of Honduras when it was ready. What?! So kind, so unnecessary, and definitely not the kind of service you'd receive at some *other* nearby coffee shops. The WiFi is great and the large windows let lots of light in. Even though outlets weren't the easiest to access, this is a great place to get some work done or meet a friend for a conversation. read more

Me again. I came back to this lovely Chocolate fish location and it once again exceeded my expectations. I sat at a cozy table and was greeted by the lovely staff.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, and I'm so glad I did! Parking was a little tight, with very minimal parking but we got lucky, we were able to park really close. Their menu is pretty basic and simple, but it was nice in a sense that you are not overwhelmed by so many options. My husband and I tried the macchiato, chai tea latte and a peanut butter cookie that was really good. Service was good, everyone was polite and the place itself is pretty clean. Everything is white inside so it looks really fresh and open. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a little coffee break. read more
