    Bay Area brisket
    Kristina L.

    Was craving a grilled cheese sandwich and landed on this spot. Of course I had to get my morning brew as well. They have some cool, old school retro decor and a penny table! Love the car theme! Please note: street parking Drinks: Vietnamese nitro coffee -not your traditional Vietnamese coffee except for the condensed milk aspect. It had a light bubbly/airy texture and taste, compliments to the nitro brew. It was still pretty good but don't expect traditional bold taste of a Vietnamese coffee. Pistachio mocha -Mind blowing and delicious, definitely a different pistachio profile than what I've tried before. Sandwiches: Bay Area brisket -quite delicious and juicy which paired well with the stretchy cheese, don't forget to pull Squealer -great mix of flavors with the added crunch from the slaw -pulled pork was perfect Overall: great place to try a hardy grilled cheese or get a cup of joe!

    Came in to have a coffee and study on Sunday morning. Vibes were warm and so was the yummy coffee. Super friendly staff, appreciated the welcoming nature you could feel walking in. It was very lively as customers came and went. I just plugged my headphones in and stayed probably longer than I should've (couple hours) but I was able to get some studying and homework done and no one gave me a hard time about it. thank you!!! I will be back because I need to try the food next.

    So glad I found out about this spot because it is so tasty and feels like a hidden gem in Del Paso. The interior is decorated nicely and they have a good amount of seating inside, as well as seating outside in a courtyard area. I ordered a classic (build your own) sandwich with smokey cheddar and provolone and a side of their tomato soup. The sandwich and soup went perfect together and were a great lunch. The worker was very nice and answered questions I had, and also gave me some recommendations for next time. Will be back!

    The BEST grilled cheese sandwich you will ever have! I have been coming to this coffee shop for years and have never been let down by their amazing sandwiches. My favorite is Da Philly, which is a Philly cheese steak turned into a grilled cheese sandwich. Drinks are delicious! I am a huge fan of their latte's, especially the O.D.Bee. They also have some seasonal/holiday drink menus by the register. This place is decorated with automobile racing paraphernalia from wall to wall, which makes it a unique place! Parking for this location can be a bit difficult at times as most of it is street parking.

    Shift as a great coffee house! There is a huge selection of different kinds of coffees and the environment has very unique vibes to it. The 'Shift' name comes from their main theme of cards and racing. Inside the cafe are all sorts of racing inspired memorabilia and regalia. It's all very tastefully done and doesn't come off as too much or an eyesore. Besides coffee, Shift specializes in a huge variety of grilled cheese sandwiches. I've NEVER seen a selection of grilled cheese sandwiches like this before. There are so many to choose from with different and varied ingredients. You can select a breakfast version, a savory brunch style, and even sweeter grilled cheeses. On my visit to Shift I went with a group of four so we had the opportunity to try a sample of different sandwiches. If you like a mix of sweet and savory, the peanut butter, bacon, jelly one is surprisingly good. That one probably was the most eye opening one. The grilled cheeses sandwiches are filling. We ended up asking them to cut them in quarters so we could all try the different styles. They were totally ok with this request so we had a great time sampling everything. The coffees we got were very nice. My friends loved their tiramisu cold coffee that was a special that day. I'm not sure how well coffee and grilled cheese sandwiches pair together with each other, but Shift somehow makes it work. It's a very enjoyable eating experience!

    I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile because I love grilled cheese. I was in the area so decided to stop in. The ambiance is fun with retro style and car theme. Good place to work and meet up with a friend! I got the capitol sunrise breakfast grilled cheese and it was ok, but not amazing. I also felt the same way about the peppermint latte which was a December special. The service was great, the gals working there were sweet & kind! Otherwise, I would say this place is just average, 3-star. I don't think I'd drive out of the way for this, but if I'm in the area again, I'd try another grilled cheese since there are many!

    Came in for some coffee and grilled cheese! Their chai latte was amazing. Not too watered with milk and just enough chai. Their grilled cheese is solid, nothing too special. Got cheese and bacon in mine and I enjoyed! Love their car shop decor they have. It's giving vintage and they also provide wifi to do some work while you're there.

    Cute decor!

    Cute car-themed cafe, nice outdoor seating, friendly quick service We stopped in for coffee, and were delighted with their non-dairy add-ins. The flat white was a tasty brew, and we liked the creamy oat-milk, and we also could have chosen almond milk. They have fun with the racing-theme, including Steve McQueen's famous "salute" from the Le Mans film. After a day walking around Old Sacramento by the river, we doubled back here for more, to refill for the drive back to SF! Spacious interior, several outdoor tables. Lot's of great-looking food options for next time.

    S'mores latte , Bugatti , cava

    Such a vibe in here ! Both the workers were nice and helpful! The coffee is amazing !

    I was initially drawn to Shift Coffee House because of their grilled cheese sandwiches, but once I looked at the rest of the menu, I knew I had to try something a little different. I ended up ordering the PBB&J sandwich--yes, peanut butter, jelly, cheddar, mozzarella, and bacon. I had never seen anything like it before and wasn't sure what to expect... but WOW. It was a surprisingly delicious flavor combo that just worked! My friend got the Carrera sandwich with a side of tomato soup, which I also tried with my PBB&J--and let me tell you, that soup elevates everything. Super flavorful and cozy. On top of that, I had one of their sparkling lemonades with cold foam (recommended by the sweetest team member, Kaylee--hope I'm spelling that right!). She was so kind, helpful, and made the entire experience even better. I'd come back just for her customer service alone. Of course, I couldn't leave without dessert, and their s'mores cookie (chocolate chips, graham cracker, and gooey marshmallow) was soft, crunchy, and absolutely massive. One of the best cookies I've had in a while--worth the trip on its own. The space itself is super cute and tucked away in an alleyway-style strip. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, cozy couches, a charming vintage vibe, and plenty of space to work or relax. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, affordable prices, and lots of parking right in front. I'll definitely be back again soon. Again, huge thanks to Kaylee she made me feel so loved and welcomed!!

    Really cute cafe in car theme. My child was occupied with the cars and didn't bother us the whole time we were there. Loved the food, tastes homemade.

    I've seen people do that there. It's only right that you buy an occasional coffee though.

    No heavy whipping cream, but they do offer half & half.

    I would give ZERO stars if that were an option. Our experience today at The Morning Fork was…read moreincredibly disappointing and, quite frankly, unacceptable. The restaurant itself was already VERY loud, with customers talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves. We actually appreciated the atmosphere because, as parents of a toddler, it made us feel more comfortable dining there as a family. Shortly after receiving our food, my toddler became upset and started crying. The OWNER approached my husband and asked him to REMOVE OUR CHILD FROM THE RESTAURANT. My husband, being the respectful person he is, complied and took her outside. At first, I was confused about why he had suddenly left until he called me and explained what the owner had told him. We had JUST received our food. At that point, I asked our server to remove the untouched items from our bill. I made it clear that I was more than willing to pay for anything we had already touched or consumed, but I was not comfortable continuing to give my business to an establishment whose owner had just asked my husband to remove our toddler. The owner then approached me, and I explained how inappropriate and upsetting I found the situation, especially considering how loud the restaurant already was. I could barely hear my own daughter over the overall noise in the restaurant. Her response was that "people were looking at me," which is why she asked my husband to take our daughter OUTSIDE. That response was extremely disappointing. She is a TODDLER. Toddlers sometimes cry. We were not allowing her to run around the restaurant, destroy anything, or behave dangerously. She was simply upset and crying. If noise was truly the issue, then why was our child singled out in an already extremely loud restaurant? What makes the experience even more uncomfortable is that we already felt we were greeted rudely by our first server. I do want to recognize the gentleman who was calling names for the tables. He was very kind and welcoming, and I appreciated his professionalism. As for the owner, I am extremely disappointed that someone who owns a restaurant would treat paying customers and their child this way. Families with young children deserve to know what kind of environment they are walking into. If children, or the normal behavior that occasionally comes with having toddlers are not welcome in your establishment, that should be clearly communicated to customers before they sit down and order food. We will not be returning, and I hope no other family is made to feel as unwelcome and embarrassed as ours was today.

Our group ordered a variety of items and most were happy with their orders once they received what they ordered. One friend ordered hard eggs with a side of fruit but was served runny eggs with a side of potatoes. As soon as the server was notified, it was corrected. Eggs were still a little too runny for her, lol. Hubby and I shared a chicken and waffles and burrito. It's a vegan burrito, but decided to add cheese. We enjoyed both plates, specially enjoyed the complexity of flavors in the chicken and waffle with the fig syrup. Will say portions were huge. He ordered the old-fashioned, which was initially very buzzy. About halfway into it figured out it wasn't stirred, leaving all the sweetness on the bottom and booze on top. We opted for the first available table, which was outside. Could use a few more umbrellas for better sun protection, but we managed. Overall good experience, would be nice if they took reservations. Not sure if I'd do it again due to the long wait and everything was very good, but not exceptional.
