Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters - Large Cafe au lait (16oz) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

The coffee here was ok. Not my favorite but was the closest coffee shop as I was in between workshops at a conference. I tried the iced banana bread latte , it tasted more nutty than banana and completely watered down. I was a bit disappointed. I needed a coffee fix read more

It is busy in the morning around 8-10am but there isn't that long of a wait time. Probably 6-7mins? I tried their matcha, it is okay but I wouldn't ordered it again. I have tried their tiramisu coffee and it's super delicious! I would def like to try new drinks off the menu next time!! read more

Stopped in with a friend last weekend while in the area, and after realizing there was Chocolate Fish coffee shop now in the area. Before this visit, I was only aware of the location off of Freeport. It turned out this particular location open about a year ago. Because there was a large event at the Safe Credit Union which is around the corner, there probably had been a number of people who'd come through by the time we arrived. So there were a number of breakfast items that they were already out of when we stopped in. Coffee: Mocha Latte (hot) Vanilla Latte (iced) Food: Almond butter toast & bananas Avocado toast 2 whole eggs The Vanilla Latte was good, and the banana toast was reallu good. And not something I would've normally ordered. So I lucked out woth them being out of a lot of their other breakfast bites. The young employee at the register was really friendly and was extremely helpful, and she made ordering and selecting our items, really easy. read more

I was in and out of this place pretty fast. Walked in and ordered an iced tiramisu. The wait for my drink wasn't long. I'd definitely get it again if it's still on the menu. I loved the cold foam on top and it tasted like a tiramisu! There's lots of seating on the inside. read more

Adj: calm and cool The newest Chocolate Fish location. Opened last summer, so not new-new anymore, but still nice to have one closer to me since the SLP one closed. =( This one is right near by the Capitol in the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It's usually not busy, and there's plenty of seating. I like the open layout and the people watching bar chairs and long table along one side and regular seating throughout the rest of the coffee shop. Service is efficient and friendly and they make a smooth cup of latte here. But what I really like is their mango loose leaves tea, since I'm more of a tea drinker. It's refreshing made into an iced tea, but equally delicious as a warming comfort hot tea on a cold winter's day. When the weather is nice, there's patio seating to sit outside too. I'm glad Chocolate Fish opened this new calm and cool location for a nice mid day office break. read more

I stopped by Chocolate Fish and ordered the cheddar scallion scone and their seasonal iced cherry latte with cold foam. The scone was delicious and flavorful but not overpowering on the scallions (which is key when you have places to be after). The iced cherry latte was SO good. Perfect balance of coffee and cherry, and I'd absolutely order it again. I also love the vibe of this location. It's a great spot to get some work done or have a casual coffee meeting. Definitely one I'll keep in rotation. read more

The iced mocha is good. Very sweet and the coffee not harsh. The ambiance is loud. Hard to carry on a conversation without speaking loudly. The space is cramped, small, and not very comfortable. This morning, a lot of politicians and lobbyists, not a very polite.crowd. service, on the harsh side. Even in a small space, the girl screams.out names...a but annoying....and if ordered multiple items....multiple screams. This morning's visit was not relaxong.relaxing. They also have those hard to drink from lids. ;) read more

This location is conveniently located next to the Capitol and a fairly busy Hyatt hotel. The coffee is great, the pastries and sandwiches are good but the biggest downside to this location is - no parking. While it is located next to the hotel, the parking is for hotel guests. There are some parking on the streets but it's a hit and miss. There are a good amount of seats inside as well as outside. The outside seating is shared with the hotel "designated smoking area". Overall a good spot for coffee while walking around the Capitol. read more

Great new location that is conveniently placed and room to stay and enjoy. Fairly newly opened and dressed for the holidays, my first experience here was welcoming. Enjoyed being able to hand out a while with my iced tea and book. The seating is plentiful inside with tables, a community tables, as well as a bar style table by the window. The view was fine as a corner spot that allowed some watching of the street activities. With a parking garage half a block away, it is not hard to get a spot. I didn't see about validated parking. read more

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters will always hold a special place in my heart. I vividly remember 12 years ago visiting the location that was near the CalPERS building on P street. I cannot speak to the taste of the coffee; however, I do remember the coffee satisfied my need for caffeine (I was a sleep-deprived new father), along with receiving a chocolate bar in the shape of a fish with my order. Therefore, I was ecstatic when a friend of mine suggested that we meet at the new location. Entering the establishment, I observed that it was fairly busy; however, there were many employees behind the counter and one was anxiously awaiting to take our orders. I placed an order for a small Honeycomb latte. Considering the size of the crowd, I was shocked that our drinks were ready less than eight minutes later. After a few sips, I knew that I made the right choice! Although the nearby construction paired with the limited parking serves as a small barrier, I love the close proximity of this location to my office. I will return in the near future to see if they have any holiday offerings! read more

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters - First time and they spelled my name correctly! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been to Chocolate Fish a few times to accompany my coworkers and had been wanting to try their Belgian Waffle for a while as an afternoon work snack since you can also add ice cream on top for an additional dollar. I finally got it, and I think it was the perfect snack! The waffle with the ice cream on top was just $5.95, which I felt was very fair for the size and what you're getting. The ice cream was very refreshing (you could pick either vanilla or chocolate). My only negative was the waffle could have been better. I wish the waffle was fluffy, but I know that's not always possible in a cafe. I will say I love the overall space of Chocolate Fish. There is ample seating inside and the outdoor area is huge, which isn't very common in downtown Sacramento I feel. read more

It's not very often that I give a coffee shop five stars-- because I'm picky! But this place deserves one! Walked in and made a decision on what I wanted and was greeted by the nicest new friend- Maddie! She told me that they had only been open 8 days and was giving me some recommendations on the menu! I got the pizza bagel with cream cheese and an iced chai! Personally I think this is the best iced chai in Sacramento! The pizza bagel was cooked perfectly and had a lot of cream cheese on it! Perfect- knowing they don't slack on stuff! The coffee shop was well staffed, clean, neat, organized! A wide variety of food options and baked goods. I can't wait to come back, and I'm so happy you are so close to my office!!!! read more

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters happened to be conveniently located right next door to our hotel, and we're so glad we stopped in. They offer a great variety of pastries along with an impressive selection of coffee drinks. I ordered a mocha, and unlike most places where I usually need to add extra sweetness, this one was perfect just as it was. I also tried their pumpkin cream muffin, which was soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. On top of that, the baristas were friendly and cool, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the area and looking for a great coffee spot, I highly recommend giving them a try. I can't wait to return next time we're in town! read more

Great service and cool vibe. Got there early and the music was already vibing! Coffee was great and so was the bagel and cream cheese! Look forward to my next visit read more

Ordered my usual latte with almond milk and the quality was consistent with the other two Chocolate Fish Coffee Roaster locations. I've always been a huge fan because they use Blue Diamond Almond milk and one of the few places I like my latte plain with no sugar. Great and convenient location with lots of outdoor seating as well. Love seeing a local coffee shop replace Starbucks. My only complaint was the Matcha Waffle, it was really bad/soggy and wayyy too sweet. I don't know why I was expecting the matcha waffle to be matcha flavored, not just the dusting on top. Plus, there was way more powder sugar than matcha powder, and I couldn't even taste the matcha. It was too sweet even paired with a drink without sugar, so I was very disappointed. So skip this item on the Spring Menu. Might go back to try the Black Cherry Vanilla Oat latte though. read more

Very cool spot in Sacramento. Stopped in for a pre-dinner coffee and truly enjoyed the experience. This location has a large outdoor space, something that is limited in this part of Sacramento. Their indoor space is also adequate with quite a few tables. My wife and I both ordered off of the seasonal menu and our drinks were great. The flash brew was something unique that I had never had before. For how empty the place was, the service was a bit slow, but it's all good. I did not know that Chocolate Fish was such a prolific coffee roaster in the area. After going here I suddenly noticed their logo and coffee being served in many other cafes and coffee shops. This place has several locations in the area- I would certainly recommend giving them a try! read more

We had the Smores Latte and I had a cherry vanilla latte. My latte was okay, I wish it was a little sweeter so will want to return and try another drink. read more

Needed something that we could all agree on and this absolutely fit the bill! I am a Matcha girl to my core, my sister is obsessed with Lavender Lemonade, this place had both! We came here on our trip and were thrilled. They were reasonably fast, rather efficient and and it was a comfortable place to wait. Their Cherry Top Matcha was truly to die for, sweet and creamy! The Lavender Lemonade was seriously to good too! I also picked up a chive scone for my husband and he enjoyed it as well. This is a great little place to stop in for a snack and a drink! read more

First time here ! We tried their almond butter sourdough with the works, honeycomb latte & matcha . The toast was delicious , the honeycomb latte was great , the matcha was okay . Jaidyn , the cashier , was rude when taking our order and when she came to give us the toast ignored when I asked if it was for Jackie , and tossed it by the area to pickup drinks. I proceeded to ask her if that was mine and she said it was for Jack , which she mistakenly put instead of Jackie . No big deal, but her tone & facial expressions were not it ! I'll be checking out their other location next time ! read more

I had no idea this location opened already, so I ran on over to get my caffeine fix. They're in a prime location adjacent to the Hyatt, with an entrance on L St as well as 12th St. I really can't stress how good of a location it is for anyone working at or around the Capitol as you can cut through the park. Service was both quick and very friendly! The beehive brew was sweet & strong, just how I like it. There's a good amount of seating for my professionals that enjoy having coffee chats, but it does fill up! Luckily, there's plenty of outdoor seating as well. I'll definitely be back as it's so convenient and GOOD. Apparently their official grand opening is on July 1st at 11AM btw! read more

The iced white mocha was so good! They only have one size for cold drinks, it's 12 or 16 oz, can't remember. But it powered me through a procrastinated assignment completed at 11pm. They have multiple sizes for hot drinks...thinking that's probably more their speciality. Fairly quiet, some light music playing but nothing too loud or obnoxious. Several tables and a bar looking out to the street. Employees were really friendly and informative read more

Staff was friendly and courteous. Ordered the hazelnut latte and avo toast w/"the works". Took a bit to get my toast, but it was really good, as was the latte. My concern - as I waited for my toast, 3 of the 4 employees began unloading very full trash bags from containers behind the counter (I was there following what was probably the morning rush.) Not one employee washed her hands after dealing with nasty trash bags. A customer came in and she happily used her dirty hands to make the customer's latte. Yuk! read more

Chocolate Fish Coffee Roasters reminds me of what Starbucks used to be. A relaxed, welcoming spot where you can sip something great, read a book, or get a little work done without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy your coffee. Ambience: For a cafe tucked beside a hotel, it's surprisingly calm and comfortable. The space is bright with good natural lighting and clean, minimalist decor. Seating is limited, but they've made the most of it and I always appreciate the option to sit by the window for a quiet view of the street. Everything feels cared for, which makes it easy to settle in. Drinks: My only gripe, and I know I'm not alone here as I've seen other Yelpers post this as well, is the extra $1 charge for non-dairy milk. With drinks already over $6, it feels unnecessary. Still, the coffee quality wins me. My pumpkin chai was perfection: warm, creamy, and just the right balance of spice and sweetness. Every friend I've recommended this place to has come back raving about it, which says a lot. Final Thoughts: Despite the small seating area and the non-dairy upcharge, Chocolate Fish nails what matters most to me. Delicious coffee and friendly vibes. It's my go-to spot whenever I'm downtown and in need of a genuinely good cup. read more

Great coffee, great service. Had their lemonade so good and refreshing! Typically I only get their lattes, which I love, so this was a nice change. read more

Good medium coffee and extra points for being open on a Sunday when everything else is closed. They only have 1 size for cold drinks so another point off but the Honeycomb latte was delish ! Charging for sub milk is ridiculous for less than 6oz and I will stand on that statement. Lots of employees but not very friendly. Decor is nice - clean and I love the bean imprint on each wood table. read more

Love the coffee but they are beyond S L O W!!! One person in front of me ordered a tea and ordered a latte that was it these are the only two orders that came out in 14 min and they got my order wrong sooooo next time I will skip and take the walk to another coffee spot read more

Why? Vegan options. Available Parking. SmartWater. Plant-milk: Almond & Oat -Yes! Ordered Decaf Mocha Almond Latte in a pottery hard washable reusable cup/saucer (I avoid drinking out of cardboard & plastic - not Eco-friendly). I still prefer the feel of a warm cup in both hands specially on a cold rainy day like today. The 3 baristas, female friendly, can make latte Art. I ordered a Swan. She accidentally made me a Regular Latte, which was too bitter for my taste, too hot temperature. I knew it was off after a couple sips. I asked the barista she admitted it was a regular latte not a Mocha and offered remake it. It took a few minutes on a semi-busy Sunday but it looked and tasted great! Much better, perfect drinkable temperature. I could've chosen to return the first one for a refund and walked out the door, but I believe in second chances so I gave her a chance to remake it. Much better. A Perfect Lotus flower replaced the Swan. Warm, filling and satisfying. Three Vegan cookie varieties available too in to go outside source baked packaging. Unisex bathroom available with code for paying customers only. The men need to learn/remember proper social etiquette and put the seat down. Have respect for the ladies who follow. Didn't try any food. Good option for a meeting place. Ambiance: I like the Olympic Circles modern light fixtures hanging from the ceiling and the hand painted wall mural. High and low tables some windowed seat for view outside and a few tucked away in the corner of you want to go inside and not be seen. Nice and clean. read more

The gal taking orders was very rude. After ordering the barista forgot about my drinks. He thought I was waiting for toast.

Very bad.experience. I will not go there again. read more
