Not too bad of a coffee shop. I'd say the coffee itself is pretty standard, and I think what makes this place neat is that they make their own syrups! I asked the kind barista to surprise me with a drink and unfortunately I didn't catch the name of the drink but it was pretty good! I came here a couple months ago and ordered a cold brew too, definitely would come back again. read more

New owners. The place looks very cute, but today when I ordered my usual that I've gotten for years here, it came in a 12oz cup vs 16. I paid $9 and received a smaller portion for the latte. The new employees said this is how they do lattes now. I liked this place BECAUSE it wasnt as pretentious and overpriced feeling as other coffee spots. Now its just as overpriced as bay area café. No thanks. read more

Tupelo Coffee House - A very small $9 latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Mixed experiences lately. The Bowl of Soul is my go-to staple here. I remember it was served in a large, wide brimmed cup with whimsical writing on top. Coming here is a half hour commute for me, so I hope it's worth my effort, but not lately. It hasn't been served that way in my last 3 visits, but the most recent was the most disappointing: served lukewarm. read more

The decor and ambiance in the building are great. Lots of natural light and seating. It definitely gives the vibe that you could sit and do a lot of work here. They have limited sugar free offerings for coffee syrups with only vanilla. Something to mindful if you're wanting more options for sugar free. The employee was nice and answered all my questions. They took a little longer than expected to get the drinks prepared. For food, they serve Ettore's pastries offering some savory and some sweet options. I got an iced latte and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Both were delicious! They offer a water through a drink dispenser (love when coffee shops do that). There is a shared parking lot available plus street parking so finding parking wasn't bad. read more

Tupelo coffee is a very cute coffee shop that is honestly perfect for studying or hanging out with a larger group of friends. I've been here several times now to study and it's a great environment for that since they don't play super loud music, there's always seating (inside and outside), they have WiFi you can use, and they are open super late! I really like the drinks here, my go-to is the Aztec Mocha. I love the kick from the cayenne. I also like their Mexican hot chocolate and vanilla iced latte. It's clean, bright, spacious, the staff are friendly, and decently priced! I'd recommend checking them out especially if you are a student needing a third space to spend time at. read more

I was checking out cafes in the Sacramento area and stumbled across Tupelo through Yelp. I stopped by this cafe with a few of my cousins and just from walking in we loved the dim lighting, the natural wooden tables, and the calm vibe. Service was decent, but to be fair it was later in the night so it's understandable for staff to be a little low energy. We ordered a various drinks. The hot chocolate, iced mocha Thai, chai, and a hot custom coffee with cherry syrup. Drinks were good! Overall I would come by again & look forward to trying a hot tea next time. read more

Seems like a reliable, relaxed local shop. Nothing over the top special, but good quality coffee in a clean place! Pros: - the coffee is good - some fun seasonal special flavors - very chill vibe inside, good decor, clean - plenty of indoor seating - friendly staff - cute mini items shelf Cons: - very limited pastries/foods (a few muffins and bagels) - outdoor seating is very sunny with a lot of benches, but not a lot of tables read more

Super clean place with great vibes. Love the light and ambiance. Ordered a breve flat white and it was outstanding. I appreciate the barista art! Didn't have a pastry but they looked amazing.

I am an avid Tupelo coffee house visitor, and let me just say I could live in Tupelo for how many different activities I could do. I love their couch for curling up with a book, or their long tables for hosting craft events! The service is always a 10/10 but they just finished hiring a few new baristas so be patient with them! I do wish they had more food, but the delish drinks make up for it! Hot bev go to: London fog Iced bev go to: mocha Thai read more

I went to pick up coffee beans. The only one I saw was the holiday blend. I asked the barista if that's the only one available. She said whatever is on the shelf. Helpful. I decided to get it since I was already there. Then she said she didn't know the price. She said she'll just charge me $19.95. I later looked online and it's actually $17.5 a bag. Now I feel ripped off. It's not about a couple of dollars though. It's about the principle of it. She could've gave more effort to actually find out the price instead of charging me this number that she came up with. Bah humbug. read more

They're open even later now which makes this spot a great hangout spot all day long. Parking is street parking, but I'm typically able to find a spot pretty easily. Tupelo offers indoor and outdoor seating and is dog friendly. Cha Cha's doggy daycare is down the street, so I'll sometimes stop by here before or after pickup/drop off for a little caffeine boost. Now that they're open late night I've taken advantage of their decaf options a couple times. Typically I'm buying the full caffeine options though. I love that they have some unique offerings on the menu, though more than once I've had to ask the baristas what the items are. I also like to take advantage of the seasonal specials. read more

Coffee is okay and the speciality drinks overall are underwhelming. Recently got a Mexican Hot Chocolate that tasted like milk. No spices and a hit of chocolate. 1/10. Should've stuck with a simple flat white. Environment for studying is decent. There are outlets available, free WiFi, and open till late. Price not work the drinks though! read more

Super cute! Had their Vietnamese iced coffee (good and strong) and the hubs tried the Aztec Mocha (he said it was very sweet and spiced). Loved the vibes inside. Tons of space to work; outlets available even on the couch! Parking was available -- but it is Sunday after 5pm. read more

Visited to study and tried their red velvet latte. Tbh it was just ok, flavor was mild and not as sweet as I thought. Coffee tasted a bit watered down. There is plenty of seating and outlets by the seats to charge devices if needed. Parking is not bad, there is a lot right next to it or street parking. Service was friendly. read more

My friend and I made a quick stop at Tupelo on the way home to the Bay on a Sunday afternoon. We got a little turned around with the parking and almost missed it, but quickly found parking on the street. It looks like there's also plaza parking nearby, but I'm unsure if that's available to their customers. The cafe is large with lots of tables and high ceilings. I appreciated that the tables were pretty spread out so that you wouldn't feel like you're encroaching on someone else's space, especially while working. They even have a pretty large patio up front if you prefer dining outdoors. The only thing was it was a little quiet - kind of like a library. Great if you want to be heads down and get work done! If you're more so trying to hang with a friend, it might be intimidating to loud-ish conversation. Don't want to disturb the peace. Might've just been the vibe at the time that I was there, though! They have all the espresso and tea classics and a pretty extensive menu of signature drinks. They also have seasonal drinks so you can always try something new. The larger menu with prices is on the wall and they have a small menu with descriptions on the side if you're curious about each signature drink. I went with their Keith Richards, espresso floated on ice cold cola, an option I don't normally see at other cafes but one that I do love. It is sort of an acquired taste though - but if you love coffee and if you love cola, there's a good chance you'll be into this. Add a little creamer and it's like a dirty soda. Service was great - we were helped immediately and got our drinks pretty quickly. I even spilled a bit on accident and the team was quick to assist. read more

how have i never been here before!! this was such a cute cafe in east sac. best part is that they open until 11pm. my friends and i went around 9pm and stayed til closing - the workers were so friendly and the drinks were really good! i tried the matcha lemonade which had a really nice balance between the two drinks combined in one. i want to come back when it's not 9pm and try some of their coffee drinks because they had a ton of options. this would be a really nice cafe to study at or just have a cute drink w friends! read more

Tupelo Coffee House - Mocha Thai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been going to Tupelo Coffee House for many years. The drinks that are typically in my rotation here is the Iced Cold Brew w half n half, Iced Latte, Regular Hot Latte, Kerouac (Special - Iced Espresso Martini), and Bowl of Soul (Special Chamomile Tea). My favorite is the iced cold brew but if I'm craving a sweet coffee then I lean towards The Kerouac Iced Espresso Martini. It's 4 shots of espresso, dash of cream, and condensed milk all shaken with ice and strained. Every time I drink one I feel like James Bond "Shaken Not Stirred". It's so good and so different. The thing I also love about Tupelo is it's a chill place to go and catch up on some work. You'll see a lot of students doing the same while sipping on some great coffee and tea. I've spent a lot of late nights working on pressing deadlines here. Tupelo will always have a special place in my heart. read more

Tupelo has always been my home away from home. I lived in Sacramento from 2010 to 2015, back when I was a broke college kid and a starving artist hopping between every local coffee shop and bar I could find. Tupelo was the one spot that actually felt like mine. It was the place I could crash with my notebook, people watch, and pretend my life was way more put together than it was. Anytime I'm back in town, I go straight there like muscle memory. It still has that same warm, familiar vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. My seasonal favorite has always been the Frosted Mint Tea. It tastes like winter in the best way. When that's not on the menu, I grab a Kerouac because it never misses. Honestly, they could hand me almost anything and I'd probably love it. And I swear, the service is always so good here. Not the fake customer service smile, but actually genuine. Almost every barista I've ever talked to has been super fun, easy to chat with, and just has that chill energy that makes the whole place feel even more welcoming. read more

I go here wayy too often! My first time was back in summer '22, loyal customer ever since. The drinks pictured are dated back in February, Valentine Specials. They were so unique, strong, and yummy! Tupelo does such a great job of incorporating fruity/sweet flavors to strong caffeinated drinks. The ambience gives intimate museum, there's a collection of art pieces that cover the walls. Fun fact, they can be purchased!! The wooden furniture, makes it such a cozy space to chat and study. The workers are usually so tense and stressed, but are very sweet! Pretty latte art! Also, a bookshelf of board games and cards to play with friends. Cool spot, worth a visit for sure!! read more

I used to love this place, but when it was sold a couple of years ago things changed. Prices went up 50%, service hours went down, maintenance was deferred, and for the last 3 weeks they are out of coke for the Keith Richard's. I mean, is it that hrs to buy coke? I don't get when they have 5 customers that they would routinely have two people working, or leave their outside lights on all day. Not that it's my business, but when prices are up and waste is high I wonder why. I still want to love this place been going here for 15 years. read more

Iced Wisteria latte was unique with a hint of a lavendar flavor. Iced vanilla latte had a smooth flavor and had me wanting more. Nice and spacious indoor and outdoor seating. They have other unique daily specials for those wanting something different from the typical flavors. read more

Such a great vibe in this place, if I worked remote I would definitely want to hang out here! Love the wood seating and the sections where they are all drawn over! The local artwork is also very beautiful and a great touch. Solid matcha, maybe next time I'll try a treat too. read more

Gets two stars only because the Mexican hot chocolate was decent. The two workers behind the counter were unapproachable. I asked if they had whipped cream and they said "no, we don't" in a very annoying tone. I asked to go to the bathroom and they said it was "out of service" which for a coffee place is crazy to me. Everything felt like an inconvenience to them. Will not be going back. read more

The customer service could be better. They didn't have any pastries, so I got a croissant--microwaved, of course. I also ordered a cappuccino for here, but instead, I got a latte in a to-go cup. Other than that, the patio is nice outside, at least. read more

I really enjoyed Tupelo! The staff today were super friendly and fast! The food selection is mostly baked goods and the blueberry muffin I had was incredible! It was moist, not crumbly and buttery. I ordered a hot vanilla latte with oatmilk. It was the perfect drinking temperature, it was smooth and creamy and nutty and overall very tasty. Inside is good size with table seating and more casual couches. I can't give Tupelo a 5 because of the chairs. A pet peeve of mine is when cafes and restaurants have uncomfortable chairs. There is parking available as well as plenty of street options. Overall a great coffee experience! read more

8:15 on a Sunday my bestie and I decided to try Tupelo as we use our new sacramento cafe passports. Big and spacious and only two other patrons seating. There was no one behind the counter and for 10 min we wait. There is no bell, no sign "be back in 10". Finally a perturbed tall good looking man with a Norse vibe appears. I say good morning and ask "how is your day" ? He proceeds to not look up and says "there's lots to do" now I'm feeling uncomfortable to even order because of his shitty attitude, but I do. I order the Aztec mocha and it's delicious. It took 20 min to get both our coffees and he helped three other patrons before making ours. Not sure if there should be two people working, but unfortunately we won't be back. read more

I've had several visits to this coffee shop and unfortunately my experiences have been consistently unwelcoming. I continue to come back mainly because of the convenient location, free Wi-Fi, and the availability of seating both inside and outside, which are all big positives. That said, the customer service has repeatedly felt cold and dismissive. Most interactions with staff come across as rude or indifferent rather than friendly or hospitable, which makes the space uncomfortable to spend time in. I want to be clear that nothing explicitly inappropriate or discriminatory has been said or done. However, as someone who often stands out in this space, the lack of warmth and basic courtesy has made me question whether everyone is receiving the same level of service. I'm sharing this in hopes that management takes a closer look at how customers are treated overall, because this shop has a lot of potential to be a genuinely welcoming community space. read more

I suspect poor Tupelo is on the way out which is a shame because I've been going there at least once a month for over 15 years and I used to tout it as my favorite coffeehouse in Sacramento. Many a Kerouac kept me going during my time at Sac State! They used to have inventive drinks like the Toast and Jam latte and they had the BEST mocha in part because of their own homemade whipped cream and a powdered cocoa sugar topping they would sprinkle on it. They made drinks with unique flavors that weren't too sweet and you could actually still taste the coffee. However, this aging lady is not doing well- the blender has been broken for months. How much is a blender? Get a Vitamix from Costco for $450! They haven't had the blackberry syrup for the Toast and Jam latte in months either. Finally, the last time I was there they didn't have whipped cream *and they told me they might NEVER have it again* because they aren't ordering the compressed nitrous oxide and the store was closing at 6 pm instead of 11 pm because they were short staffed. I'm not surprised the employees are surly since they have nothing to work with and, if I was them, I'd be worried that my paycheck would bounce. I hope she rebounds! I truly have a soft spot for this place but it's about a 50/50 split on whether I try here or just head to Chocolate Fish right now. read more

What a fun coffee shop! I love the uniqueness of Tupelo coffeehouse. From the interior design of having areas and spaces where people can sit and work while enjoying their beverage, or areas that are more open to hanging out with friends and enjoying your favorite coffee The staff is super friendly, and are happy to help you if you're uncertain what you would like to order, or perhaps, even creating something unique to you. I love that they have this lovely station in the middle of the seating area where you can toast, whatever food item that you may have purchased, add additional creams or sugars to your beverage, or grab a couple of extra napkins, etc. It's all so lovely and well put together. They literally are right next-door to an amazing consignment store, so it's a great opportunity to grab a coffee or other drink before going over and shopping at the consignment store. Reasonably priced and a fun new coffee place that's worth checking out ! read more

The coffee and pastries are absolutely 10/10! There's plenty of seating available, both indoors and outdoors, which makes it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately, the person who took our order came off as irritated and impatient. While taking my order, he made a negative comment about the phone ringing, saying it was too busy for that-- despite the fact that we were the only ones in line and only a few customers were in the shop at the time. That interaction put a bit of a damper on an otherwise great experience. read more

The ambiance of the cafe is so amazing. I love the seating and vibe of it. I went many times during exams season and there was always seats open! Another reason I loved coming here was because of their late night hours! Besides the ambiance the drinks were pretty good as well.

We were looking for a place that was still open during the evening. To our surprise we found that Tupelo was still open. We made it about 30 minutes before closing time. There were only a few people still inside, which was understandable since it was almost closing time. The gentleman working the front counter was very friendly. I ordered an Iced Aztec Mocha while my kid ordered the Mexican Hot Chocolate. I liked the flavor of the Aztec drink. It was just the right amount of sweetness with a nice hint of spiciness to it. My kid enjoyed her Mexican Hot Chocolate. While I got my straw, we saw some containers with powdered vanilla. She decided to add some to her drink. It was not needed, but it was a nice touch either way. If around the area, I recommend you stop by here for a drink. It's also a nice place to study or to catch up and chat with friends. There are lots of tables and chairs. read more
