Love this place. 4.5 stars rating. Would be 5 except for the below hours issue. Great espressos at a good price. Grilled cheese isn't really my thing but they are very good. My only complaint- if you say you are open until 3 PM then the door shouldn't be locked at 235... read more

Drinks: - I had the Blackberry Latte. I was expecting the blackberry to overpower the coffee or the coffee to overpower the blackberry flavor but to my surprise it was well balanced. The coffee wasn't overly strong and the blackberry added a nice essence to the drink. Highly recommend if you feel adventurous with your coffee Food: - I had the Hot Chick sandwich. The toast was done perfectly. There's a nice crunch to it without it tearing up the roof of your mouth. There's a slight dusting of seasoning on the toast (kind of reminds me of the French fry seasoning from Red Robbins). There's a ton of cheese but it didn't make the meal feel heavy, and the chicken had a nice bite to it. One of my favorite hot sandwiches to date to be honest Ambience: - The cafe has access to a lot of parking - If you're an F1 fan or greasemonkey this place will make you feel right at home - I get the vibe this place is a town favorite since there were returning regulars and casual conversation between customers and staff which made a good impression. It seems the locals like the place and go there often Overall: The lattes were unique but not unique for the sake of being unique, it actually works and tastes good. The sandwiches are very good, they're probably the best part of the place read more

It's time for an update! This place is a vibe! I'm sitting here listening to a very well curated blues playlist. The theme is racing. Yes, you heard right. This is no ordinary coffee shop. It's better. Sometimes the Tv monitor (no sound) has Speed Racer going or maybe Jay Leno talking cars. The coffee drinks are great. Teas and drinks abundant. The thing is they are making grilled cheese sandos and they are delish!!!!! The cheeses are local. Generous cheese and meats. Breakfast sandwiches too. Also they are often open til 8! read more

I meant to write this a little while ago. Came here for a coffee and lunch. I ordered the Divine Order sandwich and a La Mora mocha. It was so good!

Love this spot ! Not the Same O Same O.....highly recommend. We had it for the first time and Loved it ! Looking to try something different give Fast Cat a try : ) read more

We were told this place was good. That was an understatement! Great isn't good enough. Ok, This cafe has a motorcycle theme., I'm not into motorcycles but I can live with it. Here's the first thing great about this cafe, you won't leave hungry. We ordered 2 sandwiches thinking they would be bite sized, we could have ordered one! It was large and packed full of eggs and avocado and bacon. My god it was great! Number 2: we tried two different lattes and they both were fantastic. It's a walk up counter and the woman behind the counter was pleasant. It could use a little more lighting but maybe it was designed to be dark. All over there are motor bike helmets and signs. Would I come here again? You bet. They don't open till 7am on weekdays and 8 on weekends. read more

Fast Cat Coffee - This coffee the Bugatti Breve Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmichael, California

Service is always awesome, sometimes you do have to wait a bit longer for your food and drinks when it's busy but it's so worth it! Their cava latte is a personal favorite where it's not too sweet but not bitter at all. Pastries are amazing. We tried the beignets and the butter horn and both were amazing! Awesome relaxed place to just hang out and talk with family or friends or study. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! read more

Fast Cat Coffee - Pastry display - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carmichael, California

Their grilled cheeses are a big deal. The coffee was good, too. But man, those grilled cheeses really put the average, plain grilled cheeses to shame. We had the wake up in Guanajuato, sweet cheezus, and midtown morning with a blackberry latte. They also have their own pineapple hot sauce. There was also a pastry window where my kids picked a donut and almond beverage. The theme was genius. Coffee is definitely what fuels my day. Plenty of seating indoors, outdoors, barstools, etc. Though it looked like most patrons literally made a pit stop to order to-go. The lady running everything was very pleasant and diligent and kept the busyness at bay. It was a unique and delicious experience overall and I look forward to returning to cure my fomo of the other grilled cheeses lol. read more

Ok. First thing first. The coffee is extremely well balanced and no acidic recourse altering your gut. Ive been a frequent rider since during Covid 19. All the drinks are lovingly bespoken works of artful taste. The sandwiches are pretty good, too - huge! The midtown morning is the bomb diggity. A Bugatti Breve hits the accelerator just enough to get the day hauling ass just after sitting in the shop taking in the tasteful ambiance. From the OG owner/manager Dolly to the new owner/management Team (Frank {OG employee}; Charla, and Her Husband), the service is still impeccable! Btdub, try the new Summer Session drinks. The Long beach. Try the Long Beach. Oh, and the new munchies list is about to hit the cold food section! Don't forget the fresh bespoken pastry every morning. A place to chill and or a place to order out gourmet and go play. FastCat is part of waking up with grub and a coffee cup. More locations please! Rancho first. read more

This place is decorate pretty cute inside, all car and motorcycle themed. The service is okay, not to nice or friendly. The food is really really good, the grilled sandwiches are so good and there are lots of options to choose from. The coffee was not very good, tasted watered down, bland, and not very flavorful. I would not come back for the coffee, but would definitely come back for the food. read more

Fun & unique ambience, friendly service, good service quality food and coffee. I like that they had some unique latte flavors. The grilled cheese sandwiches are really good. I've gone multiple times already and it's been good each time. read more

What a nice little shop with a unique twist. Coffee and tea with a nice menu of grill cheese options of all kinds. First time here checking out how one of the sandwiches would be from the great photos online. Entering the shop there is a nice medium wood decor that is welcoming. The staffer at the register was helpful when explained I had not been here before. The menu is more extensive than most coffee shops. There is a full page of grill cheese with good combos of ingredients. Three are listed as sweet which was intriguing. I decided on the Sweet Cheesus (cute name) that has your usual grilled cheese basics along with jam inside. Covered in cinnamon sugar? Awesome! It was delivered warm and looked good. The combination of those atypical ingredients together worked very well. The size of the sandwich was a little bigger than I was thinking and the meal filling. Jasmine is the iced green tea available and it was as it normally expected. So not disappointed at all. There is a good amount of tables and chairs inside as well as a unique bar area with a television on the wall. Limited seating inside just opened up recently. The bar back is made up of depressed wooden filing cabinets. The comfy chairs boarder a glass table with wooden 4x4s and an industrial infrastructure. Outside seating is also distanced on two sides of this store which is at the road side corner of the building Overall, a comfortable place for chat and relax as well as a coffee/tea and a small meal. read more

Just inhaled my breakfast sandwich and had to give this place some love here on Yelp. Delicious breakfast and coffee.

Delicious. Get cheese, any cheese, a soup... and don't sleep on the sweets! We live this place, I'm so glad it's far from my house or we'd have it far too often:) read more

Fast Cat is one of my go-to places for brunch after a run. The service is great. The people are friendly. The place is clean. I discovered that the Tuscan Garden is my new favorite sandwich. You can add chicken if you don't want vegetarian. read more

Fast Cat was a pit stop for us on our way up to Oregon. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of food mostly. The sandwiches are a must try and will keep you full for awhile. Perfect for a road trip. FOOD: For drinks: BlackBerry Latte & Iced Vanilla Latte. The blackberry latte was super interesting in a good way. I wish the vanilla latte was better - the coffee part was good but the syrup tasted too artificial. For food: we got the Hot Chick and Wake Up in Guanajuato. Both were so good, super gooey cheese and packed with ingredients. Flavor was very good. AMBIANCE: Super fun concept to the coffee shop, could use a bit of help making it feel a bit more homey but okay overall. SERVICE/PRICE: Service was good - nice owner. They just seemed slammed though so probably could use more workers. Price is fair! Food & Beverages: 3.7 Ambiance & Cleanliness: 3 Price Point: 4 Overall Experience: 3.7 read more

Super nice people working here. Very unique! To me it's a guy hang --cowboy look. But it's cool for something different. Unfortunately I didn't like the coffee at all (the only reason for the low score). I ordered a Mexican mocha and it was very different. Guess it's a matter of taste. Besides --I wanted the fat cat caffe to be full of pictures of adorable furry cats!! read more

The service is immaculate and so are the food/drinks! I always love a visit to fast cat. Unfortunately, I am not in this area all too often lately and so I dont get to visit as much as I would like. My favorite is the Midtown Morning breakfast sandwich and an iced lavender oat latte! Not to mention: its always super clean inside. They recently got a new mural on their back wall and it is FABULOUS. American tradition style fast cat logo :) read more

Blueberry scone was tasty and loaded with blueberries. My coffee test for comparison is a caramel latte with an extra shot. It was tasty and delivered in a nice mug. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is themed with vintage auto racing, with plenty of seating. Nice start to our day. read more

I had my eye on this place and wanted to support local business so finally made it in this weekend and I gotta say I can see why it's so popular. Great customer service and excellent food and drinks! I went the midtown morning and a raspberry pistachio white mocha for my drink. It was pretty busy but they apologized for the wait. It was fine as I saw how busy they were. Curious about the pastries. Definitely will be returning. read more

They have a blackberry lattee & let me tell you. It is one of the top 3 latte's I have ever tried in my entire life. Seriously so so delicious & their hot chick sandwich is also top tier 5 star sammich. The service is also awesome, very fast and the location and interior is very welcoming and nice. 10/10 recommend read more

I have driven past this place a million times since I moved to the area and kept meaning to try it. My sister came to visit due to a work thing she had in the area and decided to come here for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Naturally, being the caffeine addict that I am and needing my IV source before work decided to join her in that mission before we both headed to work. The outside just looks like a normal shopping center with a few cafes on a busy street with a less than busy parking lot that also shares with California Family Fitness. Then you walk inside... The decorations have the feel of all the testosterone with some feminine touches. The smell of two of my favorite things fill the air: cheese and coffee. Fun fact: they are labeled on their menu as a GRILLED CHEESE CAFE My sister ordered a triple caramel latte and her sandwich. I ordered the iced coffee with two add shots. The man behind the bar was a one man band at that time and delivered some tasty returns. 4/5 stars as I would recommend they look into cold brew or nitro; which also goes with their theme. read more

Great and inventive coffee, yummy pastries and out of this world grilled cheese selection!

Swamped at work and needing some thing of sustenance, I ordered delivery from Fast Cat Coffee (delivery app). I ordered one of their classic grilled cheese sandwiches and a mocha. The grilled cheese was every bit of gooey goodness that I hoped it would be. The apple slices provided a nice contrast in flavor and texture (I love a savory grilled cheese with just a hint of a sweet element). And the mocha provided a much needed caffeine boost. Since grilled cheese are one of my all-time favorite foods, this is definitely the kind of place I will be visiting again. read more

Needed a Java jolt during my busy day and stopped in here and had a wonderful latte. The espresso was so smooth. I hate espresso drinks that taste burnt or sour. This was just right! read more

Really liked the bikes, coffee was great. Service was very friendly. We are not local, visiting our grandkids. Always happy to find a not SB. read more

The food is good The location is convenient The interior is clean Are they quick? Sure I guess. Is the service good? Not in any way that stands out. Id give all of the above maybe a 3 star. But I'm settling for two stars because of the coffee. Which really should get a one star review. In the several times we've been here, they've scorched the milk. It's been far too hot to drink and far too scorched to be enjoyable. We've continued being patrons of this place hoping the poorly made coffee was just bad luck- but consistent poor results have proven otherwise. They have potential if they just learned how to properly steam milk and pull calibrated espresso shots. read more

My husband has been on a grilled cheese kick for the last week, and we wanted to try a new coffee shop, so Fast Cat Coffee was the perfect option! They have an entire menu full of all kinds of savory and sweet grilled cheeses. I wanted them all! Luckily nobody was in line behind us because it took me a while to finally decide. Ultimately I picked the Wake Up in Guanajuato grilled cheese, which has carnitas, eggs, salsa, and avocado. It was delicious! The eggs were light and fluffy and I loved the avocado paired with the ooey gooey cheese. I ordered a side of tomato soup also, which actually went better with my husband's brisket grilled cheese. The brisket was nice and tender. It comes with a side of bbq sauce too, and I liked that it was on the side because a bbq sauce grilled cheese wouldn't have gone too well with the tomato soup. Service was okay. She wasn't exactly thrilled to greet us when we walked in. I wonder if they are a newer place because of the low amount of reviews, but regardless customer service should be friendly whether you just opened or not. It did get busy right after we ordered and it seemed like she was the only one working! That doesn't seem right for a Sunday morning. However we did see a guy come in later on and he started helping out too, so that was good for her at least. Decor could use some revamping, since it seemed a bit dull and dark inside, and didn't make me feel like I wanted to hang out. Luckily we had a window seat so it was brighter. The coffee was another tough decision...so many yummy specialty drinks! I chose the blackberry latte since I don't see that too often at coffee shops. I ordered it with oat milk (yay for coffee shops offering oat milk now!) and it was tasty! You can really taste the blackberry flavor but it isn't too sweet and you still get the espresso flavor. Their cups were really cute too. As for the price, it can add up really quickly. For our two sandwiches, side of tomato soup, and two drinks with alternative milks, it was close to $35. I think the sandwiches are definitely priced fairly because of the additional ingredients they include like protein and veggies. However side of tomato soup for $2 seemed a little steep considering the amount that they give. I think a $1 would be fair for that amount, and people might order it more if it was cheaper. Overall their menu was awesome and I'm glad we checked it out. They should definitely market themselves more as a grilled cheese cafe - I think it could bring in a ton of business! Right now the name just sounds like a coffee shop but if people knew they specialized in all kinds of grilled cheese, it would be seen as more unique. It's a bit out of the way for us but it's a great option if you want to grab a full meal and coffee at one stop. read more

It was a mildly cold morning. My girlfriend and I were trying to find something to eat and could not decide. She turned to me and said, "what about grilled cheese?" I responded with a "f-yeah." So we came here on yelp to find us some. We came across the reviews on here and read through them. We decided to try fast cat and we're completely blown away. From the grilled cheese (omg foodgasm!), to the soup which totally compliments the cheese, to the coffee. Everything is so freaking good. Every time I'm in town I will always make sure to get this place while I'm here. If you've come this far reading this, what are you waiting for? Order now. While supplies last. read more

I wanted somewhere to study and I love coffee. I always pass by this place when doing stuff around town so thought I'd give it a shot. Also, it has "cat" in the name so... (I'm obsessed with cats). They are also about motorcycles and cars, and grilled cheese. This place has so much to offer. The high table against the window had an outlet right underneath for my Chromebook. The dark mocha I chose was delicious; their mocha sauce is not super sugary and sweet like *other coffee places* around. The guy that made my mocha was so welcoming and explained their menu when I mentioned it was my first visit. And his personality was awesome I did not try the grilled cheese but one day it'll happen. definitely spend your money here on quality coffee versus *other coffee places.* read more
