One of my favorite coffee shops The staff here is always so nice and friendly. Nick is the best -- thank you for the amazing service and delicious drinks every time! The matcha latte was so good, and the avocado toast was absolutely bomb Perfect cozy spot to relax and enjoy good coffee. Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Date of Visit: 5/3/2026 We visited the Scorpio Coffee in downtown Sacramento on a Sunday noon. Scorpio was opened back in August 2020, with a clean and modern indoor space and some outdoor seating as well. We formed in line outside first and then moved inside to order at the register. Lavender Lemon Latte $7 I got the specialty drink, the lavender lemon latte. Made with Meyer lemon, Provence lavender, and espresso. Lemon spice was noticeable but the hint of lavender was too light. Oolong Tea $6 Husband ordered the milk oolong tea from Taiwan. The color of the tea was bright yellow, and the tea was great with a hint of honey. Lox Toast $17 We got the toast with cured salmon, herb cream cheese, mustard seeds, pickled red onion, and radish. The toast was crispy on the outside which was a little difficult to cut. Mushroom Toast $17 We also got the mushroom toast with oyster and shimeji mushroom, onsen egg, shallot aioli, togarashi, and on a sesame -miso sourdough. read more

This place hands down is the definition of what a cafe should be. It's a powerhouse of deliciousness. I usually get the seasonal toast and it's phenomenal. The drinks are always changing but delicious. This last time they had a shrub on the menu and it was tasty. They use DAK as well but not for all of their coffee drinks ( think). The service is always great and friendly and it does have the best vibes. The cafe has me feeling cozy on the inside but between inside and outside I think it can seat 30 people or more. read more

Sacramento is big to kumquats. I'm a fan. I decided to treat myself today post run, and this place came highly rated on here. It did not disappoint. I was really hot after my run, so I decided to not get a coffee. I will definitely be back for the coffee though based on how my drink was. I had the kumquat soda. It was so citrusy and refreshing. I do wish I had a bigger glass of it because I downed it in 0.2 seconds. The vibes are cute and their. Their mushroom toast sounds excellent. I enjoyed that half of their pastries were cookies. Absolutely iconic of them they have like a real kitchen Which I feel like can't be said for all coffee shops. There's a fair amount of seating which I appreciated. read more

This is going to sound like such an odd review but my husband and I came in Sunday for a quick coffee and cookie on our way to meet with friends. We put the cookie in our fridge because neither of us were able to get to it, here we are 3 days later and I don't know about you but we are cookie fans. We didn't want to let this go to waste unless it was needed. Here I am, at work, opening my lunch to enjoy lunch and my cookie. WOW WOW WOW!!! This cookie is amazing. It's so fresh and moist days later. It has huge pieces of dark chocolate, bits of walnuts and flakey sea salt on top. This is one of the best desserts I've had in Sacramento. read more

Very busy and bustling upon entering the store. Super crowded with people enjoying their food, in line, and waiting for their drinks. We waited in line for about 10-12 minutes and 5-7 minutes for our drinks. Speedy ordering process, workers work very efficiently! As they took our orders they passed cups to the baristas to make them. In turn, they weren't as friendly or chatty. The Matcha latte is very traditional tasting, not too sweet. Nothing too special either, pricey for the size in my opinion. The Orange Mocha is yummy!! The flavor of the clementine is highly refreshing, not too citrusy nor overpowering. There's a nice balance between the chocolatey mocha and orange flavor. I would definitely get this again! The ice to drink ratio was really good too. Just enough to keep the drink cold and strong espresso shots. The decor is very modern, nice greenery, beautiful soft lighting, and minimalist decor. I love how clean the entire store was, inviting. Both indoor and outdoor seating available, however all pretty close knit. Not much privacy or space in between. Overall, good coffee, quick service, and clean environment! Busy and on the nosy side, more of a socializing atmosphere rather than a study cafe. read more

This is a cute coffee shop in downtown. The outside is very simple with some green tree pots near the door. The inside itself is on the smaller end with bar chairs and small tables if you would to do your work here. I got a simple latte to go as I was in the area at the time. It was a lovely coffee that had the right amount of caffeine. No complaints here. Next time I would come to try their food and baked goods as they looked really good. read more

Super cute zen-themed cafe on S and 16th that's tailored for a solo/duo experience. The interior appears spotless and has a modernized dojo look to it. I dropped by on a Thursday afternoon to successfully finish some online to-dos with minimal distractions. The Rosella Tea comes filled up in a large corked bottle for only $5, something rather unheard of for a Midtown coffee shop. It's a hibiscus tea with a mildly sweet yet surprising aftertaste. Excellent choice of a warm non-caffeinated beverage for a breezy day. I wish they had bigger tables so that I could stop by with a couple friends next time. While I appreciate the simplicity of the seated counters and creativity of the wall-mounted round tables, the seating arrangements can only comfortably accommodate a group of two. I'll be back on my own though. read more

This spot is a cute Japanese-inspired cafe! My first time here, I immediately left because there was no seating at all; so this was my second time around. I ordered the hot pumpkin spiced latte and the ochazuke. The ochazuke was SO GOOD and warm-- great for the gloomy weather we've been having in Sacramento recently. It's made up of koshihikari rice, flaked salmon, wakame, and hot tea dashi. The pumpkin spiced latte had beautiful artwork and was really good as well. I'd say their PSL is much more spice forward, and I'm glad I got to try it before PSL season is over. There's indoor and outdoor seating, but they fill up pretty fast. To snag a seat, I either recommend coming early, or at a slow period (unless you just get lucky). I love the Japanese art wall they have on the side of their building! Great photo op. Overall would come back again just for that ochazuke. read more

This place is a gem of a coffee (and more) shop in Midtown. It's a small space, but packs a big punch in terms of coffee and other beverages, as well as some really nice food options. They also serve matcha, baristas are frequently seen preparing it with a bamboo whisk. On the coffee side of things, where I'm focusing, they have a high end Weber Workshops EG-1 grinder for the special beans, as well as a small army of NextLevel Pulsar drippers (a home favorite of mine) for pourover, but it was the espresso that I was here for on my visit. They feature coffees from some of the world's premier roasters, and on mu visit, it was one from DAK in Amsterdam, and Regalia in NYC. I sampled a straight shot of both, with a sparkling water palate cleanser. The DAK offering was called "The Alchemist" and featured notes of tropical fruits and cocoa in a natural process bean. Not too funky, it was a very nice cup, but it was the El Jardin Regalia that stole the show for me, with a very pleasant lingering winey note that brought a big smile to my face. On a second visit in as many days, I picked up a Cafec Deep 27 pourover dripper and used it to make some great pourover at my family's home. The baristas are very friendly and love to chat about their coffees. Seating is fairly minimalist and the place is jumping most of the time, so be prepared to get cozy with the other guests. Overall, this is a great place to have specialty coffee, and a snack or light meal. It's (so far) my favorite Sacramento area coffee shop. read more

Visited at 5pm for a 5pm-7pm dinner pop-up, and took the opportunity to try some teas and wine while we waited the hour before chefs were ready to start taking orders at 6pm. Staff seemed friendly but frazzled, and seating for groups larger than 2 were slim (though if you brave the outdoors, it seemed like you could push tables together). I'm always a little disappointed by loose leaf teas that don't come in a tea pot, which feels like losing out on the fragrance and experience of the tea, and because we ordered two different ones, the person who brought them to us couldn't tell us which was which. They were above average teas, but for a cafe, service left a lot to be desired. For the meal itself, we ordered three of the same beef noodle soup with an appetizer. All soups came out at different times, and the appetizer cucumber salad actually came out last (when we were largely done with our entrees). Again, I totally understand this is primarily a coffee and wine bar, but service left a lot to be desired. Chef Harold's Taiwanese inspired beef noodle soup was lacking ... soup. But braised beef was tender. I did enjoy the staff suggestion for a sparkling red wine - delicious, and I would venture back to Scorpio for coffee and wine. But skip the teas and the pop-ups - especially if you're coming in a group, because the music was loud and it was pretty tough to converse. read more

5 shining stars for the food. 3 stars for the expensive prices & small portions. I think we spent between $30-$40 for 2 drinks & two breakfast items & I wasn't full. Or was I not supposed to be? Maybe it was designed to be snack portions but my assumptions was it's a breakfast spot. Still, that doesn't stop me from coming because their items are consistently good over my past 3 or 4 visits. What I think what sets this place apart from other coffee shops is that the drinks & food items have unique Japanese ingredients in them. They are all very aesthetically pleasing & the environment is atypical in that its very simple, natural & visually uncluttered. I usually get the muesli for $12 which is the creamiest raw oatmeal I've ever had & its topped with pretty, colorful edible flowers, seasonal fruit & tastes super rich even though it's healthy. They serve other food items like toast, my fave being mushroom toast (just 1 slice!) for $16 and way too expensive IMHO. It's topped with oyster & shimenji mushrooms, onsen egg, shallots aioli & togarashi and it's pure deliciousness. They also have the avocado toast (which I think is just average), lox, & strawberry miso toast. They contain unique ingredients like shokupan, umeboshi & citrus yuzu kosho & range from $12-$17. My favorite drink is a small, creamy, soothing cup of hojicha latte for $6.5. They also have mugicha mizudashi (that I wanna try), and a rosella that has hibiscus for $5. They also have a seasonal pumpkin latte, chai, matcha, mocha, cappuccino all ranging from $5-7. The most expensive drink being a bottled flash brew that contains Finco Milan & is a whopping $21! The vibe here is quiet & chill. Everytime I come there's patrons quietly busy tapping on their laptops on their x-small- small sized tables. There's an outdoor area to sit at which may be better suited for those who want to chat on their phones or converse with their cafe buddy. Despite prices, I enjoy coming here every once in a while & suggest checking it out sometime for their unique drinks & yummy food. Just don't expect your tummy to get full. read more

Arguably the most consistent when it comes to coffee. Consistently amazing no matter how long the line is. You won't see lines of artificial syrup but you will see quality coffee beans, and beautiful latte art. Scorpio Coffee is for the true coffee lovers, snobs, and enthusiasts! Limited seating but if you can snag a seat, great vibes and gorgeous natural lighting. Also very interesting food menu that if you're feeling outside of the box, is worth trying. read more

What a wonderful cafe. absolutely love visiting this place. Their chai latte is simply fantastic: smooth, pleasantly spiced and creamy without being heavy. I look forward to it every time. The matcha is okay -- solid, but it doesn't quite wow me like the chai does. And then there's the toast: wow. It's amazing. Perfectly crisp on the edges, soft inside, topped in a way that is just sweet in the best sense of the word. It's my favorite thing on the menu right now. In short: if you go, definitely get the chai latte and toast together -- you won't be disappointed. The matcha is a decent backup if you're feeling green-tea-vibes, but for me the highlight is all about that sweet, talented toast + chai combo. read more

Stopped by Sunday morning before the line got long. There is street parking available and some nearby parking structures. I would say this place wouldn't be the best to hangout with big groups because the seating areas are quite small. The tables seemed like they would be better for max groups of 3-4. Service was quick and friendly. After you order your drink, you wait on the side to pick it up. If you are getting food to eat at the cafe, they will bring it out to you. I ordered the matcha latte and it was okay. Since I got it with oatmilk, the matcha powder didn't mix as well with the milk so there were some small clumps. My favorite item was the mushroom toast. I am a big mushroom lover so this was amazingggg. The mushrooms were tender and paired well with the poached egg. I got to try a bite of my friend's avocado toast and the yuzu salt took it a notch up. I would definitely come back for the toast and try a different drink next time. read more

Looking for a really good pumpkin spice latte this fall? Head to Scorpio Coffee! I stopped by for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly. I ordered a hot pumpkin spice latte with oat milk, and it was so good. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. You can tell they use a house-made syrup, which makes all the difference. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's a nice spot to relax for a bit. Parking can be a little tricky in the area, but you can usually find free street parking on T Street or 17th Street. Definitely worth a visit if you're a pumpkin spice fan! read more

If you are serious coffee nerd this is a great place for you. They are not a roastery but serve beans from some of the top roasters in the world - typically at least one offering from DAK (Netherlands) and then another from a rotating roaster (my last few times it has been SEY). They also sell boxes of DAK and their other roasters which is really nice to find in Sacramento. DAK can be a bit expensive to source online especially once you add shipping. Food is very good as well - the mushroom toast is an umami bomb, the pear ricotta toast was indulgent, and my wife is obsessed with their chocolate chip cookie. read more

Scorpio Coffee - Hojicha latte hot and iced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Tried this place out for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Their menu is interesting, with several types of tea that are pretty rare to see being offered in the US. I stuck with the matcha latte with oat milk since I wanted some caffeine. The shop was busy, but my matcha was prepared pretty quickly. I am not sure that they made it correctly, though, as I had asked for simple syrup and was unable to taste any of it. The matcha itself was not super strong and had a delicate flavor that was not too bitter. The ambience of the shop was cozy. They have lots of walls of real and fake plants, exposed wood, and seating options. However, their air conditioner is either set to a higher temperature or broken, as it was super warm in there. I came on a hot summer day and the shop felt stuffier than outside did. Overall, I would come back to try one of their specialty drinks, but I don't feel they offer anything super interesting if you're just looking for a regular tea latte. read more

A standout brunch option amongst all of its competitors in Midtown! Scorpio is a minimalist, Japandi-style coffee shop that specializes in specialty toasts as well as light (read: not the most filling, if that's what you're looking for) breakfast dishes. There can often be a pretty long wait so I took advantage of coming off night shift to show up bright and early on a weekday. Whether you're a sweet vs savory vs veggie brunch kinda person, Scorpio has an option for you. We got one of each, the strawberry miso and mushroom, both of which were fabulous! The strawberry miso was served on pillowy soft shokupan (milk bread) with toasted walnuts and ricotta and felt like more of a slightly indulgent dessert than breakfast, which I didn't mind at all. But the star of the show for me was the mushroom toast, featuring 3 diff mushroom varieties, a perfectly slow-cooked onsen egg and a delicious shallot aioli sauce-- a beautiful blend of textures and flavors. Aside from classic coffee options, they also have a menu of signature drinks including matcha and hojicha lattes along with typically one unique seasonal option (spring was the delectable-sounding bouquet lavender/rose/chamomile latte, but we unfortunately missed out). Can't wait to come back and re-order the mushroom toast as well as try their ochazuke! :) read more

a cafe that clears it all for me. came here for the first time and got the popular mushroom toast and a hojicha latte. lemme say that toast was DEE-LISH, actually finger licking good and well prepared. 10/10 food presentation. it came hot to me and tasted seriously amazing. i get the love this one gets and i enjoyed every single bite. the hojicha was a great drink as well, not too sweet and great latte art i can appreciate as well. overall reasonable waittime, nice vibes and good seating space. id def come back to try more of the menu and reorder what i did this visit. read more

I've heard so many good things about this spot but was sadly disappointed. ): We ordered an iced hojicha latte and iced matcha latte. Both sweetened with vanilla. Both underwhelming and pretty bland. Too much milk for my taste! My interaction with the cashier was very short and the cashier was a little dismissive. I felt a rushed to order even though there was no line behind me. Inside is very clean and aesthetic but seating is limited. read more

I was really excited to try their matcha latte after hearing recommendations to come here and even more so after seeing all the people lined up waiting for their drink! It is definitely a popular spot. It is a bit small but people were enjoying their drinks/snack indoors and outdoors. The store is a bit tiny but very cute and intimate! Make sure to be prepared to look for parking, since this is in a busy area. The service was okay, but maybe because of how busy the shop was. I didn't look too much at the menu beforehand but they seem to have interesting food items and speciality coffee blends! However, I stuck with the matcha latte I specifically came to Scorpio Coffee for. But after receiving it and trying it, I was pretty disappointed. It was light green in color, so that should've been an indicator it wouldn't be very good for me. The matcha flavor was not strong at all and it tasted mostly of oat milk. I asked for it half sweet because I typically don't like my matcha drinks very sweet, but I regretted in hindsight because it really lacked flavor and all I could taste was the oak milk and a slight aftertaste of matcha. Was this worth the hype? For the matcha latte, absolutely not. But I can't speak on their other drinks and food items because I did not try them. The prices are a bit high for the coffee drinks because of the specialty coffee beans they use in their blends. I'm not really into the special notes of coffee (can't really distinguish them yet) so it isn't worth it for me. But if that is something you're looking for, I would say try it! Just don't go for the matcha latte if you're looking for deep, rich, umami, quality matcha. Unfortunately, this drink was basically just matcha milk. read more

To sum it up, this is a must-go-to coffee Cafe in Sacramento! Today was not my first time at Scorpio, I decided to swing by because I was driving around the city and wanted good matcha. I can always count on high-quality drinks and food when I come to Scorpio. I first discovered them in 2020 when I had my plant business and did pop-ups close by, I also had a number of customers who loved them also. I would also stop by when Pastry Cat came in for her pop-ups the Cafe. The Cafe is extremely clean and has a beautiful modern yet minimalist design inside with plenty of counter, bar, or inside/outside table seating. Everything from the kitchen/drink counter is made to order, but what stands out the most is their unique drink and food items with items you might not typically find at your average coffee shop. To me, this is what elevates Scorpio to a higher degree, and why I thoroughly enjoy my experience here. Ive personally tried the latter, hojicha latte, matcha, cappuccino and Chai latte. All are amazingly balanced and crafted, and never overly sweet like some shops. Ive also enjoyed various options of their sweet toast options (they change seasonally i believe) and their avocado toast, also delicious and highly recommended. Ive also ordered the Muesli for breakfast a couple years ago and it was extremely satisfying! As far as service, Ive never had an issue here. The staff is always helpful in answering my questions if im not familiar with something, and although everything is made to order, I feel the turnaround time is always quick, even when we have come during busier times. I plan to be back soon! read more

I continue enjoying Scorpio. The matcha and the food is so good. I had the ochazuke today, and was kind of hoping I wouldn't really like it given the price, but I did really enjoy it. Its just such a simple dish but the flavors are very nice. Definitely a light meal though. Im still waiting for the mackerel soba to come back though, loved that dish. read more

A cafe gem in downtown sacramento! Beautiful japandi interior, cozy beats, great coffee from a variety of specialty coffee roasters, eclectic wines and a few thoughtfully prepared small bites to choose from! I wanted to try their popular Strawberry Miso Toast, but missed the cut off, so be sure to come by before 4pm for their toasts! At 5pm they release their dinner menu, which includes a a few creative small plates that change seasonally. (weekends only) The day I stopped by, my bf and I just stuck to their matcha latte ( asked for sweetner to be added) and a flat white. Both were solid. They use matcha from Kettl, a popular brand from NY. They use coffee beans from Sey Coffee, Dak Coffee Roasters, Regalia Coffee and Frukt Coffee. I did see most people were working in the cafe, they have several tables, wifi and outlets, perfect for wfh. Staff were very kind and informative, overall the perfect cafe to wfh or just relax in:) read more

Came on a solo date after hearing great reviews and wanted to try a new (to me) spot. This coffee shop is very cute, brightly lit with natural lighting, and has a chill energy to it. The staff were nice and talked to me about their options, seating was a little limited inside but I was able to find an open seat. There is also seating outside that I'll probably use next time when the weather is nice. I tried the hot chai latte and mushroom toast. The mushroom toast was incredible! I wish the egg would've been cooked just slightly longer so the whites would've been more set. The toast was crispy, the mushrooms were perfectly cooked and savory, and everything balanced each other out. The latte was warm and tasty. It's on par with other chai lattes I've had so next time I'll get something different. They also had some wine options which I found interesting! Overall this coffee shop is cute and I'll be coming back. read more

Scorpio is quite pricy for what it is, but it's a lovely treat every once in a while. I've had their regular iced latte and some of their specialty coffee drinks. The regular latte is very forgettable, but the specialty ones were well crafted. I loved the orange blossom latte, it was just floral enough without being overwhelming. The food is really what makes Scorpio stand out. Again, at $16 per slice of toast, it's not cheap by any means, but they are so decadent and delicious that it is worth it when you do splurge. The mushroom toast is my favorite; the mushrooms are cooked to a perfect toothsomeness, the onsen egg envelops everything, and the spread complements the slightly zingy toast. The ricotta pear toast was also amazing, with a fluffy yet rich ricotta topping over pear jam. The ochazuke is comforting while being incredibly gentle and light. Service is good, you order at the counter and you pick up the drinks at the other side of the counter but they will bring the food items to your table. Can be slow sometimes but it gets very crowded. Speaking of crowded, the space is tiny. It's sparse and allows tons of natural light to shine in. There's also outdoor seating. But inside, if it's a weekend morning or afternoon, it's almost guaranteed to be a wait for a table. Almost too small for comfort. But like I said, every once in a while, it's the perfect treat and it hits the right spots. read more

My time at Scorpio Coffee was short and sweet, but I'd love to come back! I loved the aesthetic and the homage to Japanese fare. As a Japanese girlie, it took me back to the minimalistic cafes in East Asia. My best friend recommended this place and being they're dog friendly, I had to check it out. I came on a weekday afternoon and it was quite busy. Most customers were dining inside and working. Those outside were chit chatting. Diners inside had lovely for here cups, I was in and out so got a to go cup. My drink was made fairly fast, which I appreciated! For my drink, I enjoyed an Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. As other reviews have stated, the matcha is ceremonial and high quality. You can taste the earthiness and every sip is well balanced. I wish there was more because I drank it so fast, but it's delicious. I'd order this again and would love to come back. The cafe scene in Sacramento is fun to explore and Scorpio Coffee is a perfect spot to relax, work, and indulge in drinks and food. They're located off 16th Street with street and metered parking around. read more

This spot is small, but it's a great place to sit and chat. The ambiance is minimalistic and clean. Parking can be limited, and you'll probably have to pay the parking meter. I ordered an iced chai and the pear ricotta toast. The chai was a bit watery, but I appreciate that it wasn't overly sweet. The pear ricotta toast was soooo good! The presentation was pretty, and the taste matched. There was a layer of pear jam tucked between the fluffy bread and the thick, creamy spread of the ricotta. The service was great, and they're accommodating to those with allergies. Overall, it's a bit pricey but still a worthwhile treat. read more
