I love supporting local and small businesses. This Was a cute and cozy little cafe with wonderful art work from local artists within a 5 minute drive from me. Very friendly barista and I believe the owner said hello to us as he was bringing supplies in. We ordered a matcha latte and vanilla latte, both were okay, nothing too fancy or special but if you don't feel like making a coffee for yourself that day, it's a good choice for the price. read more

I had made reservations at this place the day before on the Too good to go app for today. The pickup was scheduled at 4:30, I got here at 4:26 and the place was closed and I had not gotten my prepaid for food. There was no service, and mind you, the shop was said to be closed at 5. they closed a whole 40 minutes earlier with reservations and orders still being made. 2/10 wouldn't recommend unless you're asking to be scammed read more

Great name for this coffeeshop and focus. Coffee and tea options are appreciated, but even more to have something to eat above the welcome usual pastries is nice. A variety of art work throughout the store and restroom gives this place an even deeper self-identify. Welcoming vibe and the gentleman that was hosting when I went in was helpful. He has only worked there a month, but is a good representative of the business. The Hammy Eggar breakfast sandwich was made well. read more

Asked for a water to go. He gave it to me in a pitcher and asked for it back when I'm done. Hair and ants in it this place is so bad that it made me laugh. Owner is a lovely man. I hope his buisness improves and staff becomes more trained and passionate. read more

I needed to meet up with someone in the West Sac area for an upcoming event so I turned to Yelp to find a good spot. He Brews Coffee came up as a spot nearby with a parking lot and, most importantly, coffee! I was able to find it easily right off of Jefferson blvd and I grabbed a spot right out front. The person I was meeting couldn't stay so I gave them some event supplies and headed into the shop on my own. I walked right up to the counter and received a greeting from the person working. They let me peruse the menu and we made some small talk. They ended up suggesting their white chocolate mocha and I happily went with the suggestion. I also ordered an iced chai to bring home to my husband. They also offer breakfast and lunch options and I made a note to come back to try one of their sandwiches. While I waited for the drinks I took in my surroundings. They have a good amount of tables as well as some couch seating. It's comfortable and welcoming and would be a great spot to study or meet someone. They also have a bookshelf, a tv and it looks like they have merchandise for sale. The drinks didn't take too long and I took them straight home. My drink was really hot when I first got it, but tasted good. The person who made my drink also offered to sprinkle cinnamon on top of the iced chai, which was a nice touch. I was happy to get my caffeine in for the day and add another coffee shop option to my list. read more

Cozy-looking interior. I used another app to try this place for the first time at a discount. I got a surprise box (through the app) at a $27 value that I paid $10 for. My order was ready when I arrived. What I received was a sad sandwich, a large muffin, and a coffee (choice of regular or iced with a flavor) which seems to me regular price in this day and age for what I received; however, even at that price, I would not return based on this experience. I will give them another chance since I used the discount, but they will have to redeem this visit for me to ever return or recommend this place in the future. Fingers crossed. read more

Saturday, 9/07/2024 - drove by this business. The name "He Brews Coffee" caught my eyes. Address is 1540 Jefferson Blvd, West Sacramento, CA 95691. Cute little shop! The business is like a T. The cashier/order area is straight in front of you when you walk in thru the front door. Parking is limited. But when we arrived today, we had no problem. There is no charge on parking. My view on this cafe? Pros: 1) A cute little room to your left to hang out and relax. 2) they have snacks and goodies to buy to enjoy with your drinks. I also saw they have breakfast and lunch foods to order, too. But we didn't order any food. 3) they have stuff in the other room that looks like you can buy like t-shirts and stuff. 5) There are books you can read. 6) There are a few tables in the main area to sit and relax too. 7) 1 bathroom to the left and one to the right of the register area. The bathroom is for men or women and needs a code to get in. Clean. Cons 1) None! Conclusion The young man I talked to was very nice. He's the only one there working. So pls be patient when you're waiting for your orders. He says it's even busier during the weekdays and he works alone. That's great news. Means business is booming. I got a small Americano for $8.00 and 12oz Blueberry Lavander Lemonade drink for $5.00. Both are good. I thought this place was so cute. I'd go here again! Check it out if you're in the area. read more

Loved this coffee shop. It was so laid back and the books and music added such a cool vibe the couch and tables and chairs. The art. The barista was really nice too. read more

This coffee shop is a go-to staple for me in West Sac. I try to stop by whenever I'm in the area in the mornings. Prices are a little steep, but that's inflation for you. They've still gotta make their money. My go-to drink is the iced white chocolate mocha, and the turkey pesto panini is DELICIOUS. Staff are always nice and there's also have a very spacious sitting area. This allows them to host live music and DJs which is always a vibe! read more

I'm an author, and my friend is an artist. We are both supporting this new little coffee house. This company had a rough time marketing themselves so far. That said, this is a great place for West Sacramentans to walk to and get some really good coffee, while looking at all the local art. Bring your computer. Bring a book. If you don't have either, you can read the books they offer. It's also a great place to have an intellectual conversation or enjoy the international videos on their big screen TV. (I"m watching tropical fish right now.) The place is very different, but has all the basics. It's not like just going to another Starbucks. (At the time of my posting this, you get a free book when you buy anything--and the books are very interesting as is the art. An extra book costs only a dollar.). Mine originally cost $35 and is in new condition. It's within walking distance to many charming W. Sac neighborhoods. I strongly recommend you stopping by. They deserve your support and word of mouth. Do it, and they'll be here for years to come. :-) read more

He Brews Coffee - My spot this morning. I love it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Sacramento, California

Stopped into this new coffee shop out in West Sac. Not my usual neighborhood but that didn't stop me. Upon entering, it looked like a spacious coffee shop but looked a little cluttered due to all the artwork. The paintings are for sale I believe. Since they just opened, the menu is still developing. But the usual coffee drinks are there. Lattes, mochas, caps. I went with a single oat milk cappuccino with a sausage Denzel. There wasn't a menu for food so I had to ask. On the fly I got the Denzel sandwich because he said pesto and I was hooked from there. Options for bacon or sausage. There is an area to order but it felt a bit awkward because the menu was in the way, the kitchen/coffee making area was right behind the ordering area, people were crowding around the ordering area so it was a bit hard to figure out where the line was. I do appreciate the employee welcoming me in but the lineup was kinda all over the place with the various customers crowding about. I didn't know there was a case of morning pastries which is on the opposite side of where we order. My drink came out quickly and because it's a cappuccino, you can't really mess it up. Upon first sip, it was flavorful. Which I loved. Overtime though, the coffee became sour/acidic and I didn't end up finishing it. Since it is a cappuccino, normally they are served in smaller cups than an 8 oz to prevent that unexpected but expected spacing between the liquid & the top of the drink. Hopefully they will offer the smaller cups because it was a bit awkward trying to anticipate when is my coffee coming and if I should prep for a hot drink in my mouth. My sandwich came out later but still very quick. I didn't expect them to cut a small sandwich in half so, if I do come in next time, I'll have to let them know not to cut it. And maybe, they will have something more on their food menu. I also noticed there was a small area off to the side that feels like I stepped into someone's home. Had a homey feeling and great for those who want to stay to work or study. Overall, a pretty nice local coffee shop for the area. I think some kinks need to be worked out with the ordering and picking up. I do applaud the cashier for taking the initiative to bring out drinks for everyone that ordered but I think as it gets busier, they may need to come up with a solution for a general pickup area. read more

I work in West Sac and this spot showed up as a new Surprise Bag in the area in the Too Good To Go app. He Brews Coffee offers several "surprise bags" on Too Good To Go, here's what you could get: $5.99 "Rise & Shine Bag:" a specialty coffee, a muffin, a protein, and fruit. Pick up between 7:15-9:00 AM. $8.99 "Meal Surprise Bag:" a sandwich, salad, and/or other surprises! Prepared on the spot, where you may have to wait a few minutes. Pick up between 3:00-5:00 PM. $4.99 "Surprise Bag:" may contain baked goods and/or other surprises! Variety and specific items are not guaranteed, some items may need to be reheated. Pick up between 4:30-4:55 PM. I stopped in to claim my "Rise & Shine" bag (reserved the day before) closer to 9:00 AM. Usually, they have several available to reserve, unless sold out or nothing to claim that particular day. Got parking right in front, a few people ahead of me in line. The lady behind me also was doing Too Good To Go. Simple to "Collect" in the app, and verify the Order ID with the vendor. In my bag, I received a red velvet white chocolate chip muffin, a banana, Kirkland organic boiled eggs, and a small coffee. The total came out to $6.48 for all of the items. I might try them out again soon for their afternoon food items or end-of-day baked goodies! read more

I have been driving past this spot on my way to work and the freeway for the past month wanting to check it out. Today I finally did. I was warmly greeted by a gentleman. I noticed walking in that their hours posted on the door are Mon-Sun 7am-5pm. It is a nice little space in a lobby like area that has shared hallway with neighboring offices. There are a couple tables and it had a nice fireplace displayed on a screen to give it a cozy feel. I asked the worker what their most popular drink was and he recommended the white mocha. I ordered a large and also asked for some raspberry syrup in it. He had never done that before and had to check if they had some on hand. He did. It came out piping hot and pretty sweet. He told me he added 2 pumps of raspberry to it. I think next time I will just try it straight or get one small pump. A little bit goes a long way with that. They also had some pre-packaged pastries like coffee cake, lemon loaf, glazed donuts (unsure of source or brand). I got an old fashioned glazed donut. It was fine. My mocha and donut came out to be close to $12. I think under $10 would have been more reasonable, but they are growing and probably still figuring things out. I noticed they offer a soup of the day too. Today it was chicken enchilada soup...on their menu, they also seem to rotate zuppa toscana, tomato basil, and clam chowder. The parking lot was a little full and it is a bit sketchy. I had to park closer to the 7-11 which shares the lot and in front of a shut down laundrymat with a homeless man in front...I am guessing the cars directly in the front were customers or workers for the other neighboring businesses - bail bonds, etc. I really do hope this business grows and succeeds. Incorporating some breakfast items like sandwiches, burritos, might be a nice touch. It just opened a month and a half ago though, so will give it some time and try it again in the future! Give them a shot :) read more

Everything in this place rocks! The staff are super friendly and helpful and I just came from a bike ride from Walnut Grove... Coffee and food is super good!

A big thank you to Teddy who served us on Monday, September 8. Teddy is a great asset to He Brews and when my friend and I were stuck waiting for AAA towing for over 3 hours, he was very nice to us. We will definitely be back next time we are in West Sacramento. read more

Really enjoy riding my bike over to this local coffee shop. I'm greeted with a warm smile and tasty cup 'o Joe. The place itself is quaint and while I would argue the seating to be "tight" it's still a welcoming environment. I would love to see some sort of bike security in the future. read more

Saw that this is a new coffee shop in the area and gave it a try since it was close to where I was staying in West sacramento. I appreciate it the homemade baked goods and the quality of the coffee. Today I had the caramel latte, which had great flavor and a medium strength of coffee. When I visit the area again, I definitely will come back. read more

Ew. Four items, none were good unfortunately. I had a Hammy Eggers and Pumpkin Cold brew. My Hammy Eggers had no ham but I don't know why. The bagel was also very, very sweet, like maybe they had run out of plain bagels and used a French toast or other sugared bagel. I couldn't finish it because it was overly sugary. The pumpkin cold brew was not spicy, sweet or pumpkin enough and the cold brew was too grassy. My partner ordered a hot apple pie latte. It was served iced. He could have sent it back but he didn't because it took so long to get it wasn't worth the hassle. The drink was overly milky with no coffee flavor and a hint of apple. A large seems to just be more milk and not an extra shot. His Denzel sandwich supposed to have bacon or sausage but he didn't get a choice, only sausage was available. Add on that both patio tables were broken and while we sat outside a neighbor came and yelled at us because the He Brews owner's dog got loose and she wanted us to do something about it. We went inside and told the employees but they couldn't stop working to do something. The lady kept yelling at us to do something, like it was our problem! We also had our dog- not sure what we were supposed to do. I guess this is a regular occurrence since the dog is caged outside the coffee shop. 1 star for everything food and beverage, +1 because the two young ladies working were hustling and super nice- none of this was on them. read more

Comfortable small space! It's inviting to have the couches on one side and small tables across and in front as well. The space is really used well. Honey Latte - yum! Great flavors and smells great. Small private parking lot available read more

I pass this place heading to work every day and I finally just stopped after finding a coupon in our West Sacramento calendar. The coupon I used was a buy one and get one. I ended up with a Hot Chocolate and Vanilla Latte. Both drinks were so good. This place is really cool and has plenty of seating. I look forward to making this a meet up spot for friends and family. read more

I've bought a surprise bag from them lately, for $4.99 before tax, and I only got one muffin and a small bag of chips. Its good though...

This place always caught my attention when I'd drive by, so I finally decided to stop in, but it was a bit disappointing. The place itself is very cozy, although I didn't stay. I ordered an iced vanilla latte to go, and there was no ice or vanilla in it and the coffee tasted sour. The barista was nice but probably needs better training on making simple drinks. read more

The staff here is friendly and kind even when they're busy. With that in mind, I've ordered the same sandwich a few times and received a slightly different sandwich each time. They were all good - just a little unexpected. read more

He Brews Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Sacramento, California

1) Barista was welcoming and thanked me for the business when I left 2) Ordered a caramel macchiato with oat milk - The drink did not taste good and had no caramel in it 3) Barista took my order and then immediately went to wash his hands in the bathroom and then grabbed a mop and rolling yellow bucket. Proceeded to mop the kitchen area. Didn't start my drink until after he had finished mopping. Maybe there was a floor safety hazard and they needed to mop right away but at least tell me it would take a few minutes. 4) Speed - Took about 10 minutes to get my drink, see point # 3 The ambience in the coffee house is odd. There are socks and shirts to buy as well as books to read and a lot of artwork hung up. It is definitely cluttered. read more

This was, without question, the most disappointing meal I have ever received. They had the audacity to call this sad excuse for food a "pesto turkey club sandwich"? What I received was nothing more than a dry, flavorless pile of bread with a pathetic smear of pesto and the smallest sliver of turkey imaginable. No effort, no care, and absolutely no resemblance to a real sandwich. The presentation alone was insulting -- it looked like someone threw it together in 30 seconds and gave up halfway through. For the price, I expected something edible, not this miserable, tasteless excuse for a meal. Do yourself a favor: avoid this place like the plague. It's a disgrace to both food and customer service. read more

As a lifelong resident and former business owner in West Sacramento I would like to encourage my friends and neighbors to stop by and support He-Brews Coffee. I'm not a connoisseur but I really like their coffee and my fav Chai Tea Lattes.The sandwiches are delicious, generous in size and a good price. Plenty of free parking next to the 7-11. I have gotten to know the owners, Michael and his wife Elizabeth and from the beginning I loved the way they want to make a special community spot for all ages. You won't meet a friendlier family guy who wants to give back! They have joined the West Sacramento Art Guild and invited us to install a professional display of local artist's artworks for sale. The cafe is a bit cluttered with a little too much on all the walls but I think you will enjoy the "Art Room" with tables and chairs, a sofa, books, and a cozy spot to relax and chill! We will be having an Art Fest there on May 10th and they have offered us availability for Paint and Sip events! It's a great spot to have a meeting with colleagues and friends. Thanks WS! read more

Ive stopped in this place twice. Had doubts about giving it a second try. My guess is that this property is just not built or functional as a coffee house. Im not sure there is even a full commercial kitchen in the bldg. I wondered how it got permitted for what they serve??? It's designed to house few employees in multiple small office type businesses that would share a bathroom in the hallway. The first time there was far less seating and coffee wasnt very good. The second time it seems like much more seating was available, but again kind of cluncky settings of a few table and chairs set in all the seperate and eclectic rooms. The coffee hasn't improved when compared to LaBou or Starbucks, and this place is not cheaper either. read more

He Brews Coffee - mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I placed an order on "Too Good To Go" for a meal bag. It lists a a $27 value, which looking at the menu means 2 sandwiches, 2 salads and something else. I arrived towards the beginning of the pick-up window of time, he asked if it was a meal bag or the surprise bag (pastries) and I informed him I got the meal option. I was given the bag and left. Upon looking in the bag, i found a bagel with cream cheese and 2 muffins. I went back in and asked "a bagel is a meal?" He responded "we're out of meats" and i inquired why it was being advertised. He responded "we don't have any control over it", which is strange. He offered me another bagel, which i accepted. At the that time, they were still offering 5 meal bags for purchase. Will definitely never go back. And I'm not sure why a dog was in an eating establishment. I was very disappointed and had to spend additional money elsewhere to get an actual meal! The muffin was good but i would have been better off spending this money on a pack of muffins at Costco! I couldn't even eat the bagel bc I was traveling and he didn't even bother to cut the hard bagel in half. Maybe he tried but it was too hard to cut! I had actually been looking forward to posting a positive review, as I had read previous reviews. It's now clear why they have "marketing" problems. read more

The service was great. They've done very well with the decorations and ambience. Love how much they are supporting the community

I tried He Brews out today for the first time, I always perfer to support local. I ordered a lavender latte, and sadly it was really terrible. It was pure sugar and watered down. And it was $9, I hope other items are better and they do well. I unfortunately will not be returning. read more

You would think a mocha would be some kind of standard for your basic mocha, but some coffee shops manage to make them kind of chalky. I suppose it's the kind of chocolate they use. Anyway, He Brews coffee has no problems making a mocha taste and feel right read more
