    Snickerdoodle latte
    Mirna L.

    Stopped at Rescate Coffee for the first time. I was in the area getting gas and was excited to see a local coffee shop close by that wasn't Starbucks. I usually always get a latte but saw they had a snickerdoodle latte and had to try it as I'm a huge fan of snickerdoodle cookies. I was nervous and hoping my drink wouldn't be super sweet and I was so happy to take the first sip and taste beautiful classic snickerdoodle notes without it being syrupy and sweet. It tasted so comforting and delicious. I also opted to get a blueberry scone and it was a bit sweet for my palate but still super tasty. Service was also great. They were friendly and welcoming. 10/10 experience!

    Quick and easy to order. Not too busy inside so there were open spots to sit and do work. Clean and relaxing. I recommend this spot if you need a small, quiet place to study. Coffee was good.

    Yummy

    Amazing spot, nice and comfy. It's a very cozy spot. You can't sit outside but right now it's a little chilly but they do have a couple of plush seating tables. The coffee is really good. I had a croissant with bacon and cheese. That was really good so if you're in the elk Grove area, please come check out this spot. It's so cute and quaint and the service is amazing like absolutely amazing everybody smiling cracking jokes just reliably during the weekday I may come back to work.

    Specialty menu.

    I have been passing this place for a number of months now and I finally came out last Friday with one of my friends. Immediately when we walked in, we were graded. It was pretty busy in there so there was really nowhere to sit inside, but we were accommodated with the outdoor seating. I can definitely see myself coming back to this place because it's so warm and cozy and I can tell that it's an environment that I would just love to just sit and sip a cup of coffee alone or even have a friend or two join me. During this trip, I had a snickerdoodle latte and a bacon Jalapeño croissant. Delicious is an understatement! I think next visit I'm going to dare only try the Vietnamese coffee. My barista already told me that it is going to pack a powerful punch lol

    Xocolatl Cereza Strawberry Cream Croissant

    This is such a cutesies cafe to grab a cup of joe and studying/work. The space is very clean, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and the music adds a homey atmosphere. All of the wood in and around the store really creates the vibe of a cozy cabin. There's also plenty of seating outside to embrace the fresh air and it's a bit quieter since it's away from the coffee machine and music. The baristas are very attentive and friendly. They are great at giving suggestions and accommodating customers' preferences. Drinks are made very quickly. Immediately noticed how busy they were, however, it was never uncomfortably packed. A lot of service workers nearby came in and out for a quick cup of coffee. I love how regulars are greeted by name. Online orders are prepared swiftly and almost always ready for pickup, impressive. The drink I tried is called the Xocolatl Cereza which is essentially a Cherry Mocha. It is served iced, which I mention because at this cafe certain drinks ONLY come iced or hot. Anyways, the cherry flavor is very intense and tastes really artificial. The espresso is strong and the chocolate flavor in the mocha is balanced. Very interesting drink, I enjoyed it, but I would not get it again. They also offer a wide variety of pastries and even savory foods that can fill you up like sandwiches. The strawberry cream croissant was yummy! Not too sweet, buttery and flaky! Perfect snack to pair with my coffee as I got some work done. I definitely want to come back for the vibes and to try more coffee drinks!! The only reason why I am leaving a 4 star review is because two baristas were flirting profusely, touchy PDA, and cussing loudly-- Obviously, I tried to ignore it. But as the behavior progressed, I decided to leave as did a few other customers near me. Other than the disruption, great visit!!

    Iced S'mores Mocha

    Congrats on 10 years! When I lived in Elk Grove, Rescate was my go-to coffee place. I haven't been there for over 5 years, but came in today because I was in the area. Same great coffee and really friendly atmosphere! Great to see they expanded their menu since the last time I came in and they still serve my favorite drink, the Monkey Mocha which is a mocha with a banana flavor!

    Iced snickerdoodle (latte) & iced strawberry rose mocha (May special)
    Gillian A.

    4-ish stars rounded up. Alright brew taste in terms of smoothness but still solid drinks that are on the strong side. Good vibes from the staff here! - Strawberry rose mocha (May special): much more decadent than expected even for mocha standards lol but not bad at all! No skimping on the flavorings including the added sugar; it tasted just like a strawberry cream chocolate from See's Candies but with dark chocolate. Definitely a dessert-y pick-me-up. - Snickerdoodle (latte): eh, pretty much tasted like a vanilla latte; could've had more cinnamon presence. Cranberry nut muffin was pillow-soft. Coffee cake scone was also tasty but I wished that it was a bit heartier and more buttery. Very friendly staff! Also quite refreshing to see good camaraderie between staff members at a coffee shop. Cozy interior to match. Most of the parking spots out front were occupied by patrons of neighboring businesses, but drive further into this small plaza and you'll find more available spots!

    Chocolate croissant
    Amy N.

    Stopped in to get a little something before getting on the freeway! Will was so kind and explained the different pastries. The chocolate croissant was amazing. Thank you for the excellent customer service. The coffee shop was busy and clean.

    Menu got the Zootsuit coffee it was pretty good 5 out of 5. I would get again.
    Tina R.

    Coffee and cranberry Muffin good! This is a great place to grab coffee and a muffin to go. There isn't a whole lot of room to sit talk or enjoy coffee inside. Does look like there's a public printer to use but currently not working. There's a outside area to sit. ADA accessible, parking is ok

    This place is more than a beautiful local coffee shop!! This place became my second home. In May 2025, I walked into Rescate for the first time to study for my MCAT. I was dealing with terrible allergies, stressed out, exhausted, and honestly doubting myself every day. As a first-generation college student navigating this exam on my own, the pressure felt overwhelming. I spent nearly every day at this café during the month leading up to my exam. One day, the owner noticed I was falling asleep while studying. Anthony came over and offered me a coffee just to help me get through the day. From that point on, Anthony and Brenda constantly encouraged me and supported me throughout my journey! They showed me so much love, kindness, and consistency during a time when I truly needed it! Going into the exam, I struggled with major imposter syndrome and genuinely didn't believe I would do well. However, the day before, Brenda and Anthony created a gift basket with encouraging notes and snacks. Little did they know, that basket and their kind words gave me the courage to walk into that exam room the following day. Some coffee shops sell coffee. Places like Rescate offer love and care to their customers!!They are more than a coffee shop. Fast forward to today, I will be attending the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA! This could not have been possible without the love and support of Anthony, Brenda, and Dr. Andrea Casillas. Sí se puede. ¡Gracias, Rescate, para todos!

    Avacado toadt with slice of bacon.
    Lila P.

    Food at a coffee house not so great! Avacado toast with bacon was disappointing. It was supposed to have cucumbers, but they ran out. Avacado was a smeared version instead of sliced avacados. Halfed cherry tomatoes placed on top. It was one slice of untoasted sour dough bread. Service- place your order at the counter and boxed meal brought to table. Ambiance- very small place that was filled with lots of comfy sitting areas inside and some tables outside. Most indoor spots were taken with people sipping their coffee and on their laptops or phones.

    Natalia G.

    Cute local spot, they had so many drink options! My pumpkin spice latte was the perfect amount of sweetness!

    Amy T.

    I've driven by this shop many times but didn't stop in til today. The specialty drinks menu has some crafty drinks. I ordered a large Zoot Suit (Mexican chocolate/white chocolate). First sip was a bit sweet, but a couple of sips later, I think it was just perfect. Staff very friendly. Brought drink out to me. Staff are very accommodating, asked another customer if temperature of drink was hot enough. I stopped in at 4:30 on a Tuesday. Good traffic still even though it was close to closing time. Lots of seating arrangements. I sat on the couch by the Christmas tree. Very comfortable. Good background music. Looking forward to trying other drinks/food.

    I popped into Cafe La Vies for two drinks before a pilates class. It looks like the line can build…read morefast in here but they do a pretty good job at managing the line. Once I entered, I could see why there were so many people trickling in, they had so many drinks I wanted to try! But I went with the banana matcha and vietnamese egg coffee. Both were delicious. I'm not in Sac much but if I were to come by this way more often, this would definitely be a place I'd pop into each time as part of the itinerary. Ambiance isn't anything crazy, its definitely spacious and a cool place to link up with friends or even do some work on your laptop. I would absolutely make my way back, especially to try other drinks!

    We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.
