I've also spent thousands of dollars and I always feel some kind if judgy vibe by certain employees and friends of theirs they know I'm disabled as well. Definitely avoid staying here late! Employees do better not to jump to conclusions. Management don't allow bad employees to push away regulars who come frequently. I don't even always drink kava sometimes I just come here to drink a soda and play chess with a friend. No need to tell people how to live their life if you're the one on the clock. I'm just doing what I'm told is okay. No need to try and ruin someone's holidays or night. Happy 4th to you too! It's not like I'm the one doing unethical thin

It definitely was once a clothing store that they transformed into a coffee shop with tables, couches, arcade games, board games and even a pool table. The vanilla latte was a hit. The server was super friendly. He brought us our drink once it was finished too. This spot is a nice getaway from the crowds of folks shopping. It doesn't feel like it's located inside of the outlets which is a major plus. We love shopping at the Folsom Outlets and having a cool place like this to drop in and relax and recharge is going to be a life saver.

Their ambience and relaxing atmosphere are very calming and friendly and their decorations are very intriguing. Don't get me started on their taiyaki! It is SO good, my favorites are definitely the Nutella one and the pizza one!!! They're high quality treats for a low price and are very delicious! Their iced green tea is even better and absolutely worth it!! It's extremely refreshing and light and pairs perfectly with their taiyaki! They have a lot of games and lounging areas and have jazz music that is there but not too loud! Very interesting place with very interesting aspects. Their service is also really good and the workers there are really friendly!! Come here for sure if you want relaxation and yummy treats!

I always drive by this place and have been wanting to try it! I know there's so many other…read morelocations but this one was an actual drive-thru only. I finally stopped by after picking up something small at Chick Fil A next door. When I pulled up into the drive thru, there was a sign that said that the speaker was currently not working so had to go up to the drive thru window to order. Luckily there was no line when I was there! I pulled up to the drive thru window and initially ordered an Iced Vanilla Matcha. Unfortunately, they were out of matcha so I ended up going with my usual second choice drink which was an Iced Vanilla Chai. I also asked for light ice so it's not too much ice. The drink was made pretty quick so I didn't have to wait too long. I took a sip and was very pleased with their Vanilla Chai drink given it was my first time trying a drink from here! You can definitely taste the chai which was subtle and the vanilla sweetener made it even better. Will definitely try this place again to see how their Vanilla Matcha is! Luckily there's another location near my office building where I work so might give it a try there next time. Although I do love the drive-thru only concept when on-the-go!

I was a little skeptical, seeing how many locations there are for Temple, but the long line was a promising sign that did not disappoint. POUR OVER: 5/5. One of the better pour overs we've had, high praise from my partner who used to roast his own beans and has historically disappointed with a great many pour overs, even from highly rated places all over the West Coast. MATCHA LATTE: 5/5. As an OC girly with no shortage of incredible matcha spots at my disposal, I was pleasantly surprised. Matcha forward, not too sweet, with a velvety mouthfeel. VANILLA LATTE: 5/5. Reminds me of Blue Bottle lattes on a good day. Perfectly balanced. PRETZEL BACON PASTRY: 4/5. 3 for me, but 5 for my partner who is still talking about it even a week later. Those were just the things I tried first hand, but everyone was raving about their drinks and pastries too.

Ordered an iced matcha latte at Temple Coffee Roasters and honestly, my first impression was that…read moreit tasted more like matcha milk than an actual matcha latte. The drink was very milk-heavy with only a faint matcha flavor, so I couldn't really tell what quality matcha was being used. At $8.50, I was pretty sticker shocked -- especially for Sacramento. Even a lot of cafés in Los Angeles don't charge that much for a standard iced matcha latte. That said, I did work up the courage to bring the drink back and ask if they could add more matcha, and the barista was incredibly kind and accommodating about it. It still did not have a strong matcha flavor, but the customer service genuinely turned the experience around for me. No shade to the business overall -- Temple has been around for a long time and is clearly well-loved for their coffee program and lattes. I just personally wish the matcha flavor had been stronger from the start, especially at that price point.

What I really come here for are the taro buns. They're the best thing on the menu--very soft, fluffy, and consistently good. I'm always looking for taro items, and the big buns are definitely where this place shines. I also picked up cookies for my son (brownie cookie, and macadamia), but we didn't like them. They tasted mostly like sugar, were very hard, and felt like they were missing flavor. Their coffee is good, especially the Vietnamese coffee. Service could be friendlier--it doesn't feel very personal or welcoming. The Rancho Cordova location is in a large shopping center with plenty of parking, but the area itself feels a bit sketchy. Overall, a few standout items, but the experience could be warmer and more consistent.

We were greeted by the friendly owner and just like walking into any Filipino party/household, she offered us the free food right away! There was a food/snack menu on the counter with a couple of the items sold out or unavailable at that moment. I ordered the halo halo espesyal, chicken inasal, and the golden calamansi drink. The halo halo was layered with all the usual "mix mix" ingredients, and topped with a big scoop of soft and creamy ube ice cream. It was delicious! The chicken inasal was a good portion, served with rice, a side of cucumber, tomato, onion, and a vinegar dip. So good and comforting. My husband liked his calamansi drink. It was tart and refreshing. I loved our first visit to 4estea, and can't wait to try more food and drinks on our next visit. Happy 1st Anniversary!

It's a bit out of the way for me, but well worth it if you're in the area or passing through. There's plenty of parking in their lot and there were other businesses in the plaza. I was greeted right away and the team here was really friendly. There were some items that weren't available, but they let me know about some favorites and specials. I wanted to order everything but ended up getting the Longsilog ($16.99), Palabok ($14.98), Pork Lumpia ($6.49), Golden Calamansi drink ($6.88), Muscat Verde drink ($6.68), and the Turon Matcha Latte ($11.32). It took a but for everything to be ready, but they packed it up nicely for my to-go order and I was on my way. The food didn't make it far, I had to try the lumpia right away while it was fresh and crispy and it was delicious. Exactly what I'm looking for in pork lumpia. I would order this anytime I visit. Once I got to my destination I tried the rest of the items. For some reason the straws did not want to puncture the plastic lids on the drinks so I had to puncture it with my keys- it was a bit comical trying to puncture the drink top with the straw and just destroying the straws... luckily I managed in the end. The drinks were very refreshing and perfect for our hot summer days. I gifted the Turon Matcha Latte to someone else who said it was sweet but good. I liked the Longsilog a lot, the sausages were delicious, juicy with a hint of sweetness, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. I wish the rice had a stronger garlic flavor- it's one of my favorite parts of the filipino plate meals. The Pancit Palabok was tasty and I liked the shrimp and eggs on top. After trying this though, I think I prefer Pancit Bihon, although the sauciness of the palabok would be great when you're looking for something savory and comforting. I'll definitely continue exploring the menu and I'm excited for my next visit.

I grabbed the iced Mufawaa and a baklava roll, and both absolutely delivered. That drink gave me the perfect boost before heading up the hill to my partner's house in Cameron Park, and the baklava roll was the little sweet knockout punch I didn't know I needed.

I came during a busy hour which wasn't idea but didn't affect anything in regard to the taste of what I got! Typically I like to find a spot that's quietly busy so if you're wanting to do the same I would try to come when it's less busy as I found myself slightly overstimulated by the business and seeing all the seats filled up which otherwise is a good sign! The Banana Dream Match caught my eye so I ordered it immediately along with an Avocado toast + egg ( extra cost). They give you a buzzer for the food and you have to find a corner to wait in that's out of the way and pick your food up by the kitchen. The vibe was very open and I liked the different seating options as well as the abundance of outlets. I ended up eating outside to get away from the busyness and the I was in the middle of talking when the taste of the Banana hit me. The best. Banana matcha I've ever had. Which I didn't expect because I've tried so many but what I loved most is that the banana flavor was sweet but tasted like real banana and the matcha flavor was still present. The banana flavor wasn't just at the top either it was top to bottom so every sip tasted the same making it soooo good!! The Avocado toast was good as well a little on the tangy side but I loved the egg. Great spot when it's less busy which would make parking easier as well but glad I stopped in to find my new favorite matcha spot.
