AMAZING!!! I'm a barista and I really love to go to coffee shops and get know other Baristas. Also to have a place where I'm not working and enjoy the ambiance. Old Soul at 1716 L is like home to me. It's the place I always want to be when I'm not living the craziest life possible. I'm OBSESSED with their kieche and as annoying as I'm sure it is I always have to ask if mushrooms are in it because of allergies. Not one staff member ever makes me feel bad about asking. Want to give a couple shout outs to the stellar team if I don't mention your name your still so great! Reese, probably one of (the coolest humans you'll ever meet) remembered me from my second entrance in the building and always makes the best coffee. They go above and beyond in customer service asking about my acting and hobbies. Always pleasant and working hard. Tiff is an absolute gem and has gone above and beyond by remaking my order when it was accidentally taken by the wrong customer immediately. She is kind and welcoming at every visit. Overall I don't have a lot of places I feel comfortable being. Old Soul is one of them and has a special place in my heart. Thanks for always making me feel seen, serving amazing food, and helping me stay alive with a great coffee no matter what the drink or season. read more

What's the point of offering online ordering if employees refuse to make the order until the customer personally reminds them? I waited over 30 minutes for two drinks that took roughly three minutes to prepare. The employee only started making them after I asked whether my order was ready. Her explanation was that they don't make online orders until customers show up because some people never come, or because ice might melt. That's not how mobile ordering works. The entire reason people order ahead is so the drinks are ready when they arrive. Instead, my order was apparently ignored while I stood there waiting with no communication whatsoever. If customers are expected to announce themselves before their order will even be started, that should be clearly stated when ordering. Otherwise, this is just wasting people's time and defeating the purpose of the service entirely. Extremely frustrating experience. read more

A quaint, independent coffee place located in an alley. The design inside looks very worldly, but also factory vibes. Some easy going international music playing....just overall relaxed vibe. We came here as it was near noon, we hadn't eaten yet on a Sunday, and our brunch spot had an hour wait. We thought get something to hold us over, and kill some time. Two birds, one stone. The young woman working the counter was very friendly. My wife got a chai latte, cold, and I ordered the hot chocolate and a danish. I won't "rage" about a basic hot chocolate, but..... Unlike other coffee shops, chain or otherwise, this had an actual good balance of burning hot, yet creamy and chocolatey. If your inner child kicks in, definitely try their hot cocoa. The danish was good....light and airy pastry, and the fruit in the middle was tart. They also have specials which are actual full meals, but unable to comment on those. For a hot drink and pastry, though... definitely recommend read more

So. . .I met a friend here to catch up and we had a decent experience. She ordered a mocha latte and I ordered a lavender latte. We also ordered the greens salad. We got our drinks fairly quickly, but it took 25 minutes for us to get our salad with no meat. That was a little disappointing given that it was just a salad and also, someone else ordered after us but received their food before we did. We ran out of time and ended up having to take our salads to go. My friend really liked her mocha latte, but my lavender latte did not really have the lavender flavor in it and the salads were just OK. I'm not sure if they were shortstaffed and things were rushed, but I can't say that I was impressed. It's a super cute spot, but the energy was different. The customer service was just OK. Not super friendly, but not rude either. It gave the energy of "tired". Our experience was pretty mediocre, but I do plan on checking it out again. We talk about first impressions being important but sometimes it takes a second visit to really get the true feel of a place so I will definitely try it again and make an overall decision at that time. read more

Old Soul Co. is a great coffee and breakfast spot with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. I had the chai latte, which was full of flavor and perfectly balanced--not syrupy at all. For food, I ordered the veggie sando on a house-made biscuit, and it was really nice--fresh, satisfying, and well made. The kids had the grilled cheese, which was absolutely mouth-watering and a big hit. Overall, a solid spot for quality drinks and comforting breakfast food. During busy times hard to find a table. We have also tried another location in Fairoaks which was equally good read more

First time in my life that I've had a breakfast sandwich served on a biscuit. Feel like I've been missing out. I had their carnitas breakfast sandwich - biscuit was flaky and very tasty, carnitas very flavorful and the aioli not over powering. My wife loves their coffee and this time had a vanilla latte with oat milk. My chocolate croissant was served cold (should have asked them to warm it up). Great service and food. Fantastic neighborhood coffee spot. read more

The last time I did a review was in 2015. A lot has changed since then. My husband used to stop in regularly and get pastries for his office. He'd literally buy them out. We really enjoyed their pastries for years. Since then we've moved and it's not on our way to work and home any more. They are located in a back alley and if you don't know about them you may not see them. Lots of people have discovered them as there is always people milling around inside. It used to be mainly a coffee shop. Now they sell lots of lunch like foods such as salads, sandwiches, and pizza. Pizza is defiantly a new addition. They have a separate sign for there pizza selections. They also sell beer now. I'm not sure if that includes wine too. I'll look next time for you. They also serve root beer floats and coffee over ice cream. We always walk so parking isn't an issue for us. There is a lot next to them so I'm thinking you can park there for a fee. They don't have there own personal lot. Or Street parking as they are in an alley. read more

I stopped by Old Soul Co. on a weekday morning and tried their latte, which was simple, well-made, and really enjoyable!

Was working close by And wanted to grab some breakfast. The place was nice and staff was fine. Ordered biscuits and gravy. The food was pretty good but I would have expected maybe a second biscuit or a little more food for paying over $15. One biscuit and egg and a piece of bacon seems more like a snack read more

first time coming here, and I enjoyed it a lot! All of the employees are so kind and I was unsure on what to order and received a recommendation I liked. There is a variety of food and beverages, coffee beans/grounds for sale, and nice seating. I stumbled across this location and stopped by before my hair appointment, and safe to say I will be coming back again. read more

Old Soul - Chicken Pesto Sandwich + Banana Cream Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I'm obviously late to the party, but I'm just now realizing the blessing of coffee shop meet ups. Yes meeting over drinks can be fun, but there is nothing like having a clear mind and chatting over a nice cup of Jane with a good playlist in the background. That is the exact experience that I had when meeting up with a friend/colleague to discuss career options. For years I have heard great things about and wanted to visit Old Soul Company; therefore, I was elated when she suggested that we meet at this location. Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted by the sounds of 90's-early 2000's R&B and Hip Hop (my favorite), the sounds of laughter, and a barista waiting to take our order. Since I had a caffeinated coffee earlier that day, I elected to order a decaffeinated cappuccino with brown sugar. Five minutes later our orders were ready. I'm not a coffee enthusiasts by any standards; however, I will say that this cappuccino tasted like it was made with love (flavorful)! My wife swears by their food and was slightly disappointed that I did not try it. However, being that the establishment is in close proximity to my office, I will definitely make a return visit in the near future! read more

Food: got their veggie sandwich, i find it small for the price i paid. Drinks: Got a citrus matcha something. Find it too milky and it's not even a ceremonial matcha, it's their brand matcha! Service: decent, not great nor bad. I would give it a try again, someday! Ambiance: nice place to work if needed read more

Old Soul is one of those cafés that nails both the coffee and the community atmosphere. Located right downtown, it has a warm, local feel that's perfect for a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon catch-up session. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and they offer a solid selection of breakfast sandwiches and pastries, everything is always so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Service was friendly and fast. I loved the relaxed vibe...people chatting quietly, catching up on emails, or reading. They also offer beer and wine later in the day, which adds a fun twist to the usual coffee shop scene. If you're looking for a spot with charm, great drinks, and a real sense of local community, Old Soul is a top pick. read more

Love Old Soul! Drinks, food, and service is always impeccable. I walk to this location usually, but ample parking, lots of seating, and good vibes all around. Today I tried the new iced citrus mint matcha with the mocha mix base and it was quite tasty! I also tried the monkey bread pastry and that was delicious. Sorry I ate most of it before taking a picture lol. 10/10 recommend coming here! read more

If you can't argue the facts at hand (cold stoneware cups, lukewarm coffee, no decaf pourover), go for a personal attack, as Tim the owner did below. "We don't get you at all," he told me after my complaint that the cups they use are heat sinks and suck the warmth out of the coffee. You can't argue with that fact. Call me an asshole, that's fine, TIm. read more

Tasty food, got their quiche and avocado toast. Good presentation. Some seating inside on a Sunday afternoon read more

We decided to give Old Soul one more chance, after they fell short on our first lunch experience. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again. Each time, we've only ordered one item, whether it be a burrito or a sandwich, but both times it takes about 20-25 minutes to receive the order which, by that time, our break is almost over. There's at least 8 staff members floating around doing anything BUT work the line during lunch rush. Today we had the burrito, which was smaller than one you'd order for $5 at Taco Bell. We probably won't return unless it's for a quick coffee or pastry. Response to your reply: What does your catering order have to do with guests already in the building? There must have been another 10k order on the last visit, too. Not professional response, my guy. read more

This place is dead to me. I've literally spent three weeks trying to get an answer to a question as to whether they sell a particular one of their coffee beans at any or all of the locations, or whether it needs to be ordered online even if I'm local. No response to their own email for weeks. No response on Facebook. No money coming out of my pocket and ever going their way again. I can live without those coffee beans. Can they live without customers spending money? Terrible business run by terrible people. read more

This coffee shop has such industrial red brick charm. I wouldn't have expected anything so cool in the back of the alley parking lot, which charges parking btw. There was a lot of open space and tables on a Saturday morning. We thoroughly enjoyed the drinks we chose and our favorite thing was actually the orange muffin with a glaze on top. I learned all the pastries are made in house and is the main location servicing all which is wonderful. I would note customer service could be improved as it felt unfriendly and dismissive. Because of that I would never come to this location again. I'm surprised I wasn't able to add lavender syrup to my latte since it's part of the seasonal drinks. Such an easy profit margin charging a $1 for 3 pumps of syrup. I decided on vanilla for my drink. Drinks: - Cappuccino w/ vanilla - artfully crafted and light and was heavenly with vanilla - Banana Cream Latte - dried banana chips on top was a nice touch with a small cream top - Oatmilk Latte - oat milk always gives a nice taste and balance to the espresso acidity Food: - Orange muffin - this was a surprise hit we are in love! - Quiche w bacon - giant slice and easy to share with salad on the side, meat was not mixed throughout - Breakfast sandwich - hubby ordered this and I think it came with carnitas meat inside which overall was delicious with the sauce inside read more

The quality and pride the folks put in their work and food is beyond. The food is great and fresh, service is quick and the ambiance and energy is such a mix of industrial and art combined.

Most nostalgic coffee shop in Sac for me. Love their pizza and coffee. There's something so special about it being in the alley, love the urban, brick cozy interior, love the couches love the service! I like their seasonal drinks, but i'm not a huge fan of the house made vanilla it's a little sour for me i've never understood why. Either way- this place is a sacramento staple I adore! read more

I'm working on perfecting my Irish Coffee recipe and needed to find some high-quality whole bean decaf so I wouldn't be jittering through the night. Swung by Old Soul hoping to find a few options of freshly roasted whole bean greatness and struck gold! They had a ton of whole bean roasts available, including a decaf and a half-caff! I snagged one of each and they are taaaaaasty! Many decaf coffees end up tasting dry and burnt but these are delightfully--nutty, Graham cracker, and fruited notes. Well done! The place was super cool on vibes... food, coffee, beer, plenty of seating, and mellow. Great place to study, read, or just smell the beans a-roasting! Will definitely be back. I am clearly an Old Soul. read more

Old Soul is my go to coffee shop when I'm in the office. My usual order is an iced latte, but most of their drinks are really good.

Ode to Old Soul and the Couch That Must Go There's a café on L that's a local delight-- The pastries are perfect, the lattes just right. The vibe is pure soul, the baristas all glow, The biscuits so good they could headline a show. But back in the corner, a menace reclines-- A couch made of sadness, stains, and bad signs. It leans, it smells, it growls when you sit, A biohazard covered in pleather and grit. It looks like it came from a sidewalk arrest, Where raccoons held a rave and then built a nest. Old Soul owners, your coffee's a gift to the land, But you must burn that couch. Please tell me it's planned. read more

I stopped in here for an iced tea. It didn't have much flavor at all. I think I should have ordered it with sweetener. Luckily they had sweetener options on a cart. I might have just ordered the wrong thing. I'd be willing to go back and try something else on the menu or some food items. The vibe was really nice and it's in an awesome location in downtown Sacramento. It's connected to a brewery so you could always hit up both spots. Nothing wrong with a little balance. read more

We were playing tourist in Sacramento as the Oakland A's were playing in town and we decided to try the local eateries for breakfast near our AirBnb. Old Soul was hidden down an alley in an old factory building. I tried a delicious breakfast sandwich "Breakfast Sando" on an biscuit with avocado, some onion, cheese and bacon. My husband got the Nutella and Banana on toast. Would we go back again? Yes! They had the vib of Berkeley and the food was satisfying! read more

Girlfriend and I grabbed coffees and breakfast burritos over the weekend - she got a honey lavender latte, and I tried the pie spice. Good sized drinks which I feel is rare these days! Great foam and flavor on the drinks. We both tried the pork breakfast burritos, lots of meat and served with a great salsa verde. I wish the burrito was a little larger for the price, but otherwise a great experience. Old Soul had maintained it's spot on my list of great Sac coffee read more

Old Soul makes their own syrups, roasts their own beans, and is a comfortable and cool place to be! I can't ask for more lol. I love that they have seasonal drinks because I love trying new things and that is what gets me to go back to coffee places usually. Everything here drink-wise is high quality, they have food too so I'll have to explore that next. The banana cream latte is definitely more on the cinnamon side than banana but it is creamy and good. read more

Came in at 10:30am for a breakfast sandwich.. it's so chaotic in there and no where to sit. So packed. I wanted a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I go to order the barista says it's a 25 min wait for a sandwich I'm like no. They have 5 people working, shouldn't take 25mins. I walked out. No coffee no sandwich just some paid parking. read more

First time here I randomly found this spot while looking for a nice cafe. It's behind an alley way but it was easy to find. Walking in, it's a simple setting but very nice. My boyfriend and I ordered our drinks right away, the guy taking our order was very polite and helpful he helped recommending me which flavor drink I should get. We ordered their margarita pizza which is 6 pieces for $14 and we killed it. It was so good. We will def be coming back for this it was very fresh and well seasoned. Def recommend if you're looking for a new spot to try out. read more

This coffee spot is hidden away in an alley with the option of street parking or they also have a small parking lot next in the alley. I ordered the Banana Cream Seasonal Latte: Espresso, shaken w/ house made banana cinnamon syrup, milk & ice. Topped w/ a soft banana cream milk. Note that the banana soft cream is made w/ heavy cream & cannot be substituted w/ plant based alternatives. Although I enjoyed the drink and would get it again, I would say that the banana flavor is not very prominent and I tasted more cinnamon than banana. This place has a very rustic vibe that I enjoyed with the addition of beautiful artwork for purchase surrounding the walls. read more
