Day Visited: Saturday @ 1 PM Price Range: $$…read moreParking: Free parking lot Ordered: Iced Mocha with vanilla cold foam and Iced Americano with vanilla cold foam Overall, solid 8.5/10. Any time we visit Sac, it is one of our go-to spots! They do an excellent job of sourcing their coffee beans along with roasting them. They've gotten exceptionally good at standardizing their drinks across the board as well. We have also tried many of their drinks outside of what we ordered today, including the 1987, 18 to the Brain, Thai Coffee, and Mexican Mocha. They have a food menu as well, which ranges from rice bowls to breakfast sandwiches. It's a great place to go to meet with friends, studying, or working on a project. They also have a good amount of seating inside, but it does fill up quickly! They do have WiFi (and outlets) and one single bathroom. Given we have been coming here for years, it is a must whenever you're in the Arden area!

Ca Phe Phin is a cute Viet coffee spot that's to die for! My boyfriend and I came here to catch up…read morewith an old friend of mine, and we enjoyed our drinks. He got the egg cream coffee, I got the banana cream matcha, and she got the strawberry matcha. The banana cream had small bits of banana in it- not too large to mess with the texture, but still yummy and packing a bit of sweetness in each of them! The matcha itself was great, the taste was earthy and not bitter. I downed my drink faster than I'd care to admit. The egg cream coffee was unique and yummy, definitely strong! The inside is decorated so cutely and was showing the World Cup on TV for a few people to watch. I wish them much continued success with their business.

Located in an inconspicuous strip mall, I was warmly greeted with a friendly "hello" and a bright smile. I decided to switch things up, and I actually ordered a strawberry iced Matcha latte. Hands-down, this was one of the best Matcha lattes I have had in a long time and the strawberry added a nice twist. The service was fast and extremely friendly and the prices were fair. There was ample parking and if you are a fan of Vietnamese coffee I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Drinks are so good, this is my second time here from East Bay. We've made this a pitstop anytime…read morewe're drive through sac. The first time visiting, I tried their banana matcha which was delicious. Came by today and got their egg coffee, also very delicious. They do not miss here. Highly recommend. As for service, they make your drinks pretty fast and move the line quickly, so no complaints there. Ambiance could be taken up a notch by making it more cute and cozy but definitely just a place to pop in and grab your bev.

So I was really waiting on them to just fix the payment system, way to inconvenience the customer. Cause it's so hard to just make the moment right?!? Two visits prior to today's they made a specialty drink wrong and couldn't even fix their mistake. I'll save myself the disappointment andgo elsewhere next time.

It's the perfect salty pairing with the sweet flavors of the Moreno coffee--always my go-to drink. Unfortunately the bread was sold out when I went this time (but that's how you know how good it is)! I also love the outdoor seating area above the shop. It's a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. The shop is tucked inside a cute neighborhood and only a few steps away from Southside Park, which makes a nice place to grab coffee and walk around. Tupi is definitely worth exploring!

You can still taste the espresso bitterness that's perfectly balanced with the oat milk and a hint of sweetness that leaves me thinking about when can i come back and get another cup of it. The owner is extremely nice and has made every experience coming here an absolute joy. Can't wait to see what they do with their new Natomas location opening soon! Until then, I'd say you should DEFINITELY make the drive out to grab a cup of coffee (and maybe a Turkish delight or two). You won't regret it.

They describe it as Pink Chai as "green tea simmered with cardamom and fennel, milk, sweetened, and topped with pistachios." I'd add that it's quite creamy and even a bit salty! I've also tried some of their unique matcha drinks like the banana matcha, which is on the milker side. Qisa is also a great place to study or get work done. There are plenty of seats and outlets, and when weather is nice, the outdoor seating is great.

From the moment we walked in, I noticed all the little details that made the space feel so inviting, like lots of plants, good music, and a cozy atmosphere that made me want to stay awhile (which, we did). It's the kind of place where you can meet up with a friend, get some work done, or simply enjoy a slow morning. The coffee was excellent, and I have to mention the chocolate croissant because it was easily one of the most chocolate-filled croissants I've had in a long time. So good! Another thing I appreciated was how spacious it was. There were plenty of tables and room to spread out, which was perfect since I came with my kiddo. She loved the open space and even turned it into her own little dance floor while I enjoyed my coffee for a bit. Overall, this is a wonderful local spot with a welcoming atmosphere, delicious coffee, and plenty of space to relax or work. I will definitely be back!

In a nutshell; relatively unique cafe with their own merch to boot…read more Drawn by the really cute chowchow sign out front, youll see yourself entering and immediately get drawn by car they have displayed in the middle of their establishment. Honestly my first thoughts were, "why is there a car in here?" but Im sure car enthusiasts would fancy seeing a luxurious prestige vehicle in a cafe and everyone else would find it interesting as it is unusual for a cafe to just have a car right in the middle of its establishment. Their menu isnt overwhelming and only has a few selections, theres good pastries to try out as well. Coffee was alright and the pastries were ok, overall I guess I was just more distracted by the business's set pieces. In any case, check the place out, parking can be a pain if it gets busy, typical downtown sac. Issues.

This location is the one I prefer meeting up with friends because of the size and ambience. And I especially love Frankie Gamez' mural at this location (so beautiful!). Street parking is all around so it is fairly easy to find parking depending on the time of day. My go to meal here is the longanisa rice bowl with extra jalapeños, but I tried the Peach Phuzz pancakes on my last visit and loved them (especially the coconut whip on top). Granted, no pancake will be as good as the now defunct Harry's (still mourning over that closure but hope he's enjoying his retirement!) But if you're a pancake fan I recommend this one. The 1987 and Vietnamese Hazelnut are delicious, and their tea lattes are good too. For sweet items, I like their mochi muffins, and their ube & pandan cookies. Lots of seating and an ample patio area where you can people watch.

Nice open spacious ambiance…read more It's self seating / first come first serve, which i personally think is hard for this kind of establishment, especially on weekends. I've seen multiple groups of people having to wait around for a table to clear or there's groups of 4+ but only a table that can seat 2 available. I hope they change their seating system, or at least have something in place for the weekend. The staff here are nice. You can order with a staff at the counter or order through the QR code at your table. Here's everything that we tried and what I think of them: Ube Latte 8/10 It was good. When ordering through the QR code, the sweeteness options are extra sweet, half sweet, and less sweet, in that order. I wish they had a percentage option instead. Ube French Toast 8.5/10 Delicious, I think they fry it. Steak & Fried Rice 6.5/10 Rice was room temp/almost cold and the steak was a little too salty for my liking. Steak Longevity Noodles 7/10 Steak had the same taste like the steak and fried rice dish, and was salty. The noodles were cooked perfectly, but the sauce was on the salty end as well. Silk Egg 6.5/10 Interesting dish. Not what we expected. It's a poached egg over what almost tastes like a tzatziki sauce. Comes with a Chinese fried donut to eat it. Side of Fries 10/10 Perfectly cooked - crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The white sauce (assuming aioli?) we dipped it with was good. It's nice they rotate their menu. I look forward to coming back and trying other items.
