But my only purchase today was a straight espresso, and this one was fairly middling. Ever so slightly on the bitter side, it was definitely into the "nuts and chocolate" area of flavors, so towards the darker end, but I do need to stress, it's much better than the popular coffee chains. I've attached a picture of my service, which was proper without me asking, not a guarantee at all cafes. Still a good experience overall

Everybody was very friendly and helpful. I liked the place. It is a smaller area for seating, but they have a good menu. The food menu is a bit smaller, things such as breakfast, burritos, avocado toast, croissants, etc.... They have a good baked goods section, and they make very good coffee, as is their name. I got a box of macarons for Valentine's Day, plus one for myself, the macaron was tender, and had an amazing flavor. The person I got the Macarons for, she did like them. I also got myself a white mocha, which I liked very much. It wasn't too sweet, and the coffee was deep and rich. The price for everything was very reasonable. I want to come back and try more things, and I will definitely get more of those macarons next time also. Thank you.

I liked my lavender iced latte and like the fact that they serve it in a large mug if you plan to drink it at the cafe, it had that extra, comforting touch that I love when hanging at a coffee shop. The room we sat in had a beautiful cherry tree draped in cherry blossoms as well as a cute neon sign, perfect for pics, as well as comfy chairs, a love seat and a table as well as a large window that brought in plenty of sunlight. There's another room on the left side of the cafe but I didn't have a chance to check it out since we left to get lunch at Belly. According to my friend, the room is gorgeous as well; I'll have to check it out next time I visit. They had a lot of scrumptious-looking dessert but they were a little out of my budget. They're beautiful though, and I'd try one for a special occasion (the coffee bean dessert cost $20). The cashier (owner, I'm guessing?) was welcoming and helpful when I said it was my 1st time there and pointed out a list of specials. I'll have to try the cherry blossom and banana drinks in the future! They have private shared parking with a bunch of other businesses; I found a spot easily on a recent Saturday morning. Thank you!

Busy On Historic Sutter Street? Pop In Here For A Coffee!!…read more SITREP My buddy Stacy, me and other friends were wandering around on Historic Sutter Street before we were to pop into Mystique Dining (a few blocks down the road) for our lovely friend Bambi. But we needed a pick-me-up! The Folsom Cafe delivered! THE SETUP With a slew of beverage options on their splendid menu of hot and cold drink offerings (as well as some tasty pastry bites!), it wasn't hard for me to settle on their signature Caramel Latte! I couldn't remember the last time I had caramel, so I pulled the trigger on that and it was sooo deLISH! PARKING Your best bet is to use the community parking garage (free) down by the lightrail station. The Folsom Cafe is right on Historic Sutter Street in the heart of their historic district so the curbside parking is awfully tight and no bueno. THE LOWDOWN For the caffeine pick-me-up, the delicious taste and the reasonable cost, the Folsom Cafe is top notch and I shall return!

Then the next time we got the coffees that we like the most from the flight which we're both really good. That being said, the flights were pretty expensive, but they were really fun. The coffees were really good, but they were served into gold cups, which I'm not sure if that's what they always use but it's nice when you go to a coffee shop to actually get a cup so you can enjoy the coffee without having to throw something away We got avocado toast, which was really nice that they had gluten-free. Both of the avocado toast were tasty. They weren't anything special but they were good enough. The only thing that was a little bit disappointing was spending almost $50 for two coffees and avocado toast. I don't think we'll be back cause it's just too pricey, but maybe for just a coffee once in a while.

Emma and Pyper especially stood out--they clearly know what they're doing and made the whole experience feel smooth and welcoming from start to finish. The place was also very clean, which is always a big plus. The coffee itself was excellent with lots of fresh options to choose from, and they often have interesting specials worth trying. Our drinks were genuinely delicious. The lavender latte was amazing--smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The strawberry matcha was just as impressive and honestly hard to stop thinking about after. Overall, this is a spot I'd definitely recommend. Whether you want a quiet cuppa, something fun to do, or a place to bring the family, it really delivers. You won't regret checking it out. Oh and they even had pup cup for my fur baby, which was extra special. Definitely coming back!

Surprisingly there were not a lot of people. And I noticed that the inventory has been drastically reduced maybe just a sign of times unfortunately. I decided to get the berry pie ($35) and it was delicious. It's not too overly sweet and it's got a nice crispy crust with a dusting of caramelized type of sugar on top. I also got one of their half off day old sandwiches (veggie, why not? lol) and a chicken croissant sandwich for my mother. She really enjoyed it. The veggie sandwich was a little bit too rich for me, but it's just not my taste. It was well done and high-quality with lots of vegetables. There was some type of sauce or maybe it was hummus? It was just too rich for me.

The employee helping me this morning came across as completely uninterested and lacked basic customer service skills. I still left a 15% tip, but honestly, I don't think I should have. Tipping shouldn't be automatic. It should reflect the service you receive. It's also a bit overpriced. Two burritos and two black coffees came to about $50 after a 15% tip, which feels excessive. I won't tip next time unless I actually receive good customer service, assuming I decide to come back. Without the quality of the food, this rating would have been even lower because of the price and the service I experienced this morning. If I had been helped by someone with a friendlier attitude, it would have made a big difference. With better customer service, I'd say the current 3.8-star overall rating is fair.

I work in the same Business Park so I already knew their food was great from eating there for lunch, but they truly impressed me as an event venue. The planning process was easy, and the staff member who helped me was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything was tailored exactly how I wanted it. They had options for not only food dishes, but also tablecloths, plates, flatware, drinks, etc. When I arrived, everything was already set up and they even offered help as I added my own decorations. During the event, they kept everything running smoothly, clearing plates, serving the food on schedule, and taking care of guests. When it was over, I simply packed up my stuff and left. They handled cleanup and had even packaged up all the leftovers for me. The food was fantastic, and the pricing was very reasonable. They made the entire event feel effortless, which allowed me to actually enjoy the day. Highly recommend for any special event!

What a surprise! I arrived around 10:30 and was the only client there. The office building itself seemed quite empty of tenants too. Not sure of what was going on in the building. The security guard was very nice and escorted me to the restaurant. I was still in time for breakfast. They had a special which I ordered. I thought it took a bit longer than it should have - an omelet and some sausage and a prebaked muffin with coffee that I served myself - but it was all good. They seemed to be working on a lot of catering orders for lunch. A mother and son came in, ordered one meal and shared it. The space is large, open, and bright. It just seemed temporary to me - not like a restaurant wanting to diners but a place to prepare their catering orders and IF a random person suddenly appeared, they could be fed. This is not an area that I frequent and so the likelihood of returning is small - not because the food wasn't tasty or the restaurant itself was unacceptable. It just is out of the way for me and though was good, I was not wowed enough to find my way back for a meal. However, if you are in the area, please check them out. A mom and pop operation that deserves support.

The hamburger is always a favorite of mine. Big juicy burger patty. The brioche bun is toasted. Fresh fixings. Pricing isn't outrageous. The banana coconut pudding parfait is another go to for me. It's vegan and dairy free and all so delicious! On my last visit, I ordered the red wine braised short rib. It was reheated as all their hot entrees are pre-made. It was not as tender as I anticipated it to be. But it did have a nice flavor. The interior has a modern farmhouse look with a family friendly vibe. The wall to wall windows bring in a lot of light and relaxing views of the town center. The dining room has a lot of seating. There is also an outdoor patio.
