I'm in this coffee shop almost daily and the service has always been excellent: friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The products are also fantastic: the tamari caramel is my personal favorite drink, and the snacks they offer are phenomenal. You must try their chocolate chip cookies if nothing else, but everything I have tried there has been great. The space is plentiful, lots of seating with stools and benches near large windows for plenty of natural lighting. The decor is simple and elegant with seasonal decorations as well as plants, and little nick-nacks for added charm. They have a little teck deck skate park near the drink pick up if the line was a little long, but I haven't had to wait more than a few minutes for my orders. Music is played, but at a soft enough volume to add to the atmosphere but not distract from reading, working, or talking. I highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a good cup of coffee, a matcha, or a quick snack while out and about downtown. It's also worth a trip to the city just to try it, in my opinion. Thanks for everything Cora Coffee folks! read more

What a great spot for coffee. Very clean and offers quite comfortable seating. My dirty chai was excellent. The staff are so sweet. read more

This place is perfect for meetings or college students/ study dates. They provide you with private rooms that include a white board and markers. With a large table that can basically seat 5 - 6 people that has plug access. I believe you do need to reserve & pay for the day or by hour. My husband and I accidentally ran into this place last minute. The front desk was welcoming to us just checking out the rooms to explore. They also had an abundance amount of bathrooms so no worries on lines forming. The coffee was something to look forward to as well! read more

The space is spacious and very aesthetic. The woman at the counter was kind and patiently answered all of my mom's (many) questions, which I appreciated. Because of that, I made sure to keep my own order quick and easy. I was especially excited for the matcha. I had read that they hand-whisk it and was hoping to take a short video of the process. I respectfully asked the barista if I could record the matcha being whisked, and he said that he'd appreciate if I didn't capture his face, totally fair and completely respected. No issue there at all. Shortly after, though, I was asked to step away from the counter for "sanitation" reasons, even though I was standing a few inches above the glass. At that point, I just stepped back and didn't say anything, even though I quietly noted the irony while he continued making drinks ... and as he sipped his own coffee behind that same counter (very sanitary) It didn't bother me enough to say anything, but it did slightly affect the overall vibe. Despite the moment, we all enjoyed what we ordered. Overall: beautiful space, great drinks, good prices and lovely service by the one taking the order. Just a small FYI on how little tones and snarky interactions can shape experiences as much as drinks do. read more

We are on a mission to try all the coffee shops Downtown and this place was just okay. The inside was inviting if you choose to stick around. I just wasn't impressed with my coffee. My iced mocha had an aftertaste. I couldn't tell if it was not sweetened enough or the coffee had an acidic taste. My friend had an Americano and asked for an extra shot. We couldn't believe that her coffee cost more than mine- that's cray cray! read more

Didn't have a chance to get coffee here but came twice for their brownie cookie. So good - chocolatey and chewy with a crisp exterior. Cool interior with a little tv behind the counter playing vhs movies. You can't really watch it except while waiting in line. read more

I was looking for a small café where I could grab a drink and hang out for a bit, and this spot seemed like a good choice. I decided to try the matcha lemonade, and honestly, it was pretty good! I wasn't sure how matcha and lemonade would work together, but the combo was surprisingly refreshing--earthy from the matcha but balanced out with the citrusy sweetness. That said, it was a little pricey for the size of the cup (~$9 with tip), which felt a bit steep. But the overall experience was nice. The cashier/barista was really friendly, asked how my day was going, and even made some small talk, which was a nice touch. The ambiance is more of a modern, minimalistic office-space vibe. There were regular tables for working or studying and some comfy couches if you just wanted to lounge. It definitely leans toward the sleek, dark, and minimalist aesthetic, so if that's your thing, you'd probably enjoy the atmosphere. Overall, it's a nice spot to grab a drink and chill for a bit, especially if you like a more quiet, work-friendly environment. I'd come back to try another drink, but maybe not too often because of the price! read more

Or attempt to fill up our Sacramento cafe passport.We decided to visit this location as it was featured in the passport. My wife also needed to do something to relax as it was part of her assignment to have some self care.So we made this an outing for us to enjoy our town,and try something new to us. The place looks like it was designed with an old time speakeasy in mind as there is an entrance to a bar In the back and the decorations say modern yet retro. The drinks were delicious and the young lady who attended to us was fast, efficient and very welcoming. The prices are a little pricey, but not much different from any other coffee house we've ever been to. It's not just coffee.... it's also an art. read more

I ordered tea. I was given a dusty tea mug. I sat down, I noticed the table collective dust in between and with coffee stains on top of it. I asked the lady with short hair if she could clean it up. She said she it's not in her job duties as a barista to do it. I find that odd given this is a coffee shop and sanitizers is demanded from EHD and California retail food code. read more

I learned about Cora after discovering their matcha drinks and was very happy with the quality & taste of it. The matcha is not your average run of the mill type, it does pack some serious flavor with it. I'd recommend adding a little bit of sweetener to the matcha unless you're a fan of that matcha taste. The coffee drinks are good too, they pack flavor and have notes that are easy to appreciate. The staff there take time making the drinks and it's a large enough area to sit down and enjoy the drinks. Parking can be tricky because it's in the downtown area, but don't let that stop you from trying their drinks! read more

Love the chill relaxing vibe this coffee shop gives. I'm like a true explorer when it comes to coffee shops to work/study from. Safe to say this will be evening coffee shops for my studies after work. Most coffee shops in Sac close around 3-4. Very few will push past 6. However, Cora closes at 9. Perfecto for the evening people. Mi-mo( hope I spelled it right, so sorry if I didn't), was so helpful and very friendly. Made my drink with love and had a lovely energy spirit. Anyways; I had the matcha lemonade. Taste and looks aesthetically pleasing. 10/10 definitely recommend. If you're walkable, I would recommend. Other than that, side street parking is available. read more

Cora Coffee was located across the street from my hotel. With all the matcha options, I knew I had to give it a try! They had some interesting drink options like ube matcha or jasmine latte that sounded good, but they said they were sweet and I prefer my drinks without a lot of added sugar. I got a regular matcha latte and it was pretty good. I went around 11am so pastries were very limited. I thought the space was very cozy though and the staff was friendly. read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. The service was alright. It was very quiet in there, you could hear a pen drop. The food and drink were overpriced in my opinion especially considering how much you get... which is not that much. I don't think I will be going back but you might like it. read more

I stopped by Cora Coffee after walking around the Capitol Building, craving a good matcha. This café has a really inviting atmosphere--there's a nice open area that makes it a great spot to meet with friends or get some work done. The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the simple, not overly complicated menu. I ordered the Strawberry Milk Matcha, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The matcha wasn't well incorporated, and the strawberry milk lacked flavor. For nearly $9 for a small drink, I expected something a bit more balanced and memorable. That said, I'd consider coming back if I needed a quiet, comfortable place to work or chat. But with other cafés in the area, I might explore other options before returning. read more

Rather simplistic coffee menu here compared to that at other coffee shops in Sac but perhaps this coffee shop is intentionally going for the "less is more" approach based on the drip coffee that I tried. Surprisingly very smooth drip coffee.....almost even pour-over-tier I'd say lol. Had a nice subtle tart finish. Highly recommend getting a sourdough bagel here. Extra toasty and has a super crispy skin on it. A bit underwhelmed on the cinnamon roll in that despite the cream cheese frosting having a delicious tang the roll was stiff and not heated at all. Overall not a bad coffee spot if you need a small coffee & snack pick-me-up in the vicinity. read more

We tried Cora coffee today during our Sacramento coffee crawl and we enjoyed our drinks from here! The barista was very friendly and chill. The space has some cool seating areas as well as an office meeting room with a large table you could rent for a work meeting. The barista informed me that their roastery is from Sey Roastery in Brooklyn, NY and their company as a lot of transparency about their coffee beans on their website. I thought it was unique that they source their beans from Brooklyn! A cool coffee shop with the vibes and good coffee! read more

I got the vanilla oat milk latte and my girl friend got a vanilla cappuccino. The latte was okay, I wish it had more body and flavor. I was expecting a little more for a downtown cafe. We mainly came for the study lounge which was very pretty (nice bathrooms as well!). There are a few outlets and I have never seen the seating area all taken up which is great. I did notice that the couch we first sat on smelled like urine and BO so we quickly moved. I would recommend to avoid the couch area... parking can also be annoying since it is downtown if that is something you are considering. Overall great service from the staff, pretty interior, but mid coffee 4/5 read more

Cora Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been wanting to try this place for ages, but their location and hours haven't been convenient for me. When a barista at a competing coffee shop suggests a place, you go check it out. This is a coffee shop in the lobby of an office building. They certainly have carved a nice nook within the lobby area. We ordered 3 shots of espresso. They didn't have any single origin bean options, but they did state that the one bean they were using was a single origin. The shots were pulled very well. Lots of complexity in the shot. Maybe the only negative was how long it took to get 3 shots. No one was in line before us and it took like 10+ minutes for 3 shots. We were not in a hurry. Maybe the barista felt they needed to re-pull the shots. Overall, a great place for espresso. I'd definitely return. read more

First time in Cora Coffee today! It's right by my office on J street. It's a really adorable place! I got the cute drink which is essentially a strawberry matcha. It was soooo good! I'll probably be dreaming of this drink! Yum yum yum! I got it with almond milk. The price was only $6 which I would say is great! The drink was beautiful! And it tasted great! The vibe is giving hipster business coffee shop! I loved it! I already know I'll be back! FYI they have offices that business can rent out! read more

Parking? Street parking with meters Corner location, seems accessible in terms of locality downtown. Fast service. Worth trying Menu is limited but the special items have a great Asian influence resulting in some unique selections We had: Iced coffee: 4/5, a little bitter but otherwise fine Jasmine latte: 5/5, I thought this was really good, well balanced and not too sweet read more

I came here around 12 yesterday and tried their iced jasmine latte with whole milk. I wasn't too sure how I would like it but I like to try new flavors so I went for it. I was pleasantly surprised, definitely tasted like a jasmine tea latte but somehow was coffee. Not too sweet but sweet in a good way. The vibe of this coffee shop is so nice I like being in there with all the plants, decorations, and windows. Service was fast and friendly too. I believe they make their own syrups and change them seasonally so that is a plus! read more

I once read somewhere that they were closed on the weekends. When I search them in maps it shows they are open on weekends. I happened to have a Thursday off from work and dropped in really early. It's a little hard to see at first, I did drive past it the first time and had to loop back around. From what it looks like, it might share a space with another building or business. There is only street parking and since it was early, I got a spot right up front and it's free parking until 8:00 AM. It's very clean and modern looking inside. There are several tables and benches and even a little couch area slightly tucked away. The menu is at the ordering counter and kind of small. It's also very small and there doesn't appear to be a lot of flavor options. I tried an oat milk latte with vanilla and it was very creamy. The vanilla was noticeable but not too sweet and I really enjoyed the flavor of the coffee itself. The barista who made my drink was very nice and friendly. They have a VHS tv behind the bar which is really cool. The coffee was pretty expensive for how small the cup was. Over $7 for a 12 oz cup. Overall a cute space which would be a great place to work or meet up with some friends. read more

I absolutely adore Cora Coffee, everything about this business exceeded my expectations. Wonderful, friendly service. The interior is nicely decorated with live plants, and there is plenty of space for relaxing while enjoying your coffee or getting some work done. They were sold out of their seasonal "cute drink" when I visited on a Monday morning. I had the Jasmine Latte (seasonal) with oat milk. Beautiful latte art! I really enjoyed the flavor of my drink, and I drank it down with my pastry in no time. The almond pastry was also delicious - slightly sweet, pairing perfectly with the latte. It's Downtown Sac, so you know, parking can be a bit of a hassle, but don't let this deter you (if anything, find someone to drop you off nearby). All around, an excellent coffee shop you MUST check out if you're debating what place to try next among the many, many options in Sacramento. read more

Nice little cafe with a chill vibe. I got an iced latte and it was really good. Staff were friendly.

Stopped by this shop after eating dinner downtown and was very surprised. My boyfriend and I were walking around downtown and stubbled upon this place and decided to stop for coffee after seeing how cute the inside was. I got an irish coffee and he got a hot latte. The irish coffee was AMAZING and the latte is exactly what you would expect. The man who was serving us was very friendly and kind and made the rest of our night enjoyable. The inside is very cute and quiet and they have tables and couches to lounge on. The coffee shop is connected to a bar which we sadly could not visit that day but we will be back! read more

One of the best perks of "working from home" is the ability to take my work on the go and be productive in various settings. Therefore, I was ecstatic when a colleague/friend of mine suggested that we meet up to work and catch up over coffee. Without realizing it (you'll see what I mean later in the review), Cora Coffee proved to be the perfect location for sipping on a cup of Jane while working + chatting. When we entered the establishment, we were greeted by an extremely open, modern space with clean lines. To our left was what I believed to be a WeWork meeting space with a group of individuals actively engaged in a discussion. To our right was comfortable seating that resembled what a VIP section probably looks like in a modern club. After taking in the environment, I proceeded to place an order. The employee behind the counter casually greeted me by saying "what's up?" Not sure if this is a new hipster way of greeting customers, or if it's a post-pandemic customer service approach. Either way, it came off (I can totally be reading this wrong) as lazy and very unenthused. After looking at the menu, I ordered the seasonal Jasmine Latte and a walnut cookie on the side. While sipping on our delicious latte's, we were able to comfortably chat. I say comfortably because unlike a majority of coffee establishments, this establishment did not have the coffee shop tunes blaring. Therefore, it proved to be an atmosphere conducive to productivity and conversation that doesn't require you to project an outside voice to the person sitting in close proximity to you. In the near future, I would love to utilize the workspaces for a team meeting over coffee and pastries. I will be back! read more

Came in for a quality bagel and that's exactly what I got! Bagel quality was delicious and reminded me a lot of east coast texture and overfilled . Bagel is $4.75 + $1 for the seasonal bagel which was the everything bagel. There were 2 bagels left when I arrived so it was the only option so $5.75 plus tax and tip. Order comes with plain cream cheese. Space is really cool. It's a coworking space with several meeting rooms and a few small tables in the front to do other work or have conversations. Noise level might be too high for anyone coming in to study or focus on their solo work. Street parking can be difficult. If you time, park a few blocks further back towards G street, look for the for 1 hour parking signs. It's downtown so parking garages are accessible as well. read more

- REALLY enjoyed my iced jasmine latte. Really floral and refreshing. - the bagel was good (maybe a little tough if I'm being picky). I would order it again, though. I would have appreciated the cream cheese being already put on (to help reduce plastic waste). - great ambiance inside on the weekend; quiet but not silent, lots of room to sit with comfy options. could definitely come here with a large group on the weekend. I'll definitely come back to try it again :) read more

First off, I love the aesthetic of this new coffee shop. So sleek and beautiful yet still chill and approachable. They use Mothertongue coffee which is one of my favorite Bay area roasters I discovered at a coffee festival. I wish they had weekend hours but given their location in the downtown area, it's understandable they are only open during the work week. Street parking can be hit or miss but we got lucky the day we came and snagged a spot right in front. We tried the toffee latte and the cute drink, both of which were very good but I would have preferred my drink to be a little hotter. I loom forward to returning and trying more drinks. read more

I've had Cora Coffee on my radar for a while but they're only open during the exact hours that I'm working, so we didn't get to come check it out until we were on leave from work. When we walked in I realized why their hours are so limited - they are located inside/next to an office working space so that's likely why their hours match that. It's a beautiful space! Very modern yet cozy, and perfect for working or studying because it's so quiet and you can watch the hustle and bustle of downtown from a window seat. They were working on the menu lettering when we arrived but managed to see the words "toffee" and "matcha ube" which were both in our wheelhouse! My husband had the iced toffee latte with oat milk and I had the "cute drink" which is a matcha ube latte. It had the most beautiful latte art on top! I almost didn't want to drink it and ruin the art.... Almost! We finished our drinks so quickly, they were that good! I also appreciated that my hot latte wasn't piping hot so I could actually enjoy it right away. Great customer service also. Would definitely come back if I get the chance during the work week (or if they open on weekends!!). read more
