Hear from our valued guests
Hands down the best coffee shop in the entire county! From their top-tier coffee to the delicious Mexican-inspired cuisine, everything is exceptional. And the service? Absolutely unmatched! From the kitchen staff to the baristas, everyone goes above and beyond. Simply the best!
This bustling Mexican-inspired café in Midtown is the weekend vibe—think L.A. café energy with hella Sacramento charm. It’s cute, crowded, and just the right amount of chaotic. Don’t be scared by the line or the open seating—finding a spot is easier than it looks. The staff? Super friendly and ready to help, even when it’s poppin’. Now the food: Fresh, flavorful, and fun. The plates come solo (no sides), and while they may look small, they’re sneaky-filling. Most dishes bring some heat, and yes, I almost went for the Chilaquiles... but Breakfast Tacos are rare in Sac and theirs slap. I swapped the chorizo for guac—#noregrets. Drinks take a beat, but food comes to you. And with every dish I saw float by, I added another item to my “next time” list. I had the Matcha Latte and cucumber-lime Agua Fresca—lightly sweet, super refreshing, and perfect for this Sacramento heat. ☀️🥒 How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up! Take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥
Breakfast tacos, ricotta toast, pan de elote, and strawberry matcha were incredible! On Sunday around 1 pm the line went out the door and around the side of the building
For my vegan people, there’s not much options BUT I’ve customized their avocado toast to be more fun and obviously vegan friendly. I get the avocado toast no egg, and I either add tomatoes or get a side of pico de Gallo, and a side of their mushrooms no feta! It’s SO good and the mushrooms are seasoned perfectly. They also have chili oil that I drizzle on top. The coffee isn’t my favorite but I am picky so nothing against them just not my fav. I go back often for the toast tho :)
The food is fantastic! I ordered the chilaquiles. Great service staff is so happy to help. They are very busy during lunch time but they get your food out quick.
Delicious food and great atmosphere! Came here to do some work and it was packed! Despite that I was still able to find space to sit down and work, and to enjoy my food with no rush. Plenty of outlets in the work designated areas on the weekends. Definitely recommend! Adding the chorizo to the toast was 100% worth it and the concha was perfection, fluffy & perfectly sweet.
Excellent service, order your food at the counter and have a seat. The avocado toast chorizo was delicious. Matcha was piping hot (the did not have almond milk but do have oat milk) overall great experience here.
This place never disappoints! Amazing vibe, service, food, pastries, and coffee. My go to is hands down the Wild Mushroom Toast (topped with the chili oil)... Chef's Kiss! The Pan de Elote is moist and delicious. Easily the GOAT of Horchata Lattes is served here. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
I live so close but have avoided stopping in due to the line. My boyfriend and I decided to see what the hype was about and I’m so glad we did! The line was worth the wait for us. We had the breakfast tacos, tamales (pork) and vanilla iced lattes or brown sugar lattes. All of it was fresh, delicious and flavorful. We are already talking about the next menu item we want to try next when we return. Recommend! :)
Really cool vibe and food worthy of revisit. Coffee was good and will be back to check out the munch ceviche and other menu items. A little tight seating for more that 2 people but sidewalk seating has plenty when weather is good.
