Scorpio stings—and I like it. Call me kinky. Scorpio’s drinks are brewed with precision. And with roasters like DAK and Sey in the mix, you’re sipping from a bean lineup that could headline Coachella. But where Scorpio really struts is the signature drink lineup. The Matcha Cream Soda? Iconic. I gasped. I sipped. I ordered another. And don’t pass on the food. The Strawberry Miso Toast with fresh ricotta and honey? Weird and wonderful—like if Björk were a brunch item. And the Mushroom Toast? A moody little masterpiece crowned with that sexy onsen egg. Total main character energy. Yes, the prices can make your wallet clench, and the portions...well, this ain't Costco. But the quality? Elevated. The ingredients? Thoughtful. The dietary labels? Clearer than your ex’s intentions. Veg-heads, gluten-free girlies, and oat milk lovers—you’re covered. The staff is sweet. The vibe? Chic Japandi minimalism. The comfort level? Somewhere between "Instagrammable" and "glad I have my chiropractor on speed dial." And unless you’re dining duo-style, good luck scoring a table—this place was clearly designed by someone who hates group projects. All tea, no shade—Scorpio Coffee brings something special to Sacramento’s coffee scene, and I am absolutely here for it. You should be too. Just maybe don’t come with a crowd. 😉 How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

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.

This was a surprisingly delicious find. I loved the coffee. I've been trying different drinks there and everyone I've had has been superb. Fast service and pretty easy to find parking. Slightly crowded on the weekend but not too bad. The pastry options and the food options are amazing as well. Very unique but amazingly presented and absolutely delicious. The cookies are awesome too. Highly recommended!

Took a quick walk here while waiting for an appointment and had some delicious mushroom toast. Definitely not something you see often and it was delicious. The regular coffee was good but not to my taste. Little too bright and sharp. Definitely an artisanal type of brew vs just a regular cup of Joe. Staff was very friendly and the room was bright and clean. Suspect parking can be a bit of an issue. Recommended.

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:)

I’ve only eaten here once, but the experience was not good. My auntie & me shared a miso strawberry toast, that I ended up not liking and, I also got a matcha latte which tasted mainly like milk; both were disappointing. Yet it doesn’t compare to how bad we were treated by the owner here. We arrived & ordered, then while waiting for our food/drink my aunt gets the urge to use the bathroom, unfortunately they didn’t have a working restroom so an employee directs her to go to a auto mechanic shop down the street..apparently, the auto mechanic shop owner wasn’t pleased since the coffee shop had been sending their customers there for a few hour to use the bathroom so in result my auntie gets told off by him. She returns, lets an employee know about the incident then he tells her she can try Safeway except it’s not walking distance, so now she has to drive there.. & keep in mind this is downtown she quickly loses her parking spot. By the time she gets back I have to use the restroom! And that’s the least of it, she then asked to be compensated by a refill on her coffee, not only did she get told no but the owner came out and accused her of harassing his employees; he was overall extremely unprofessional and belittling towards us, not what’d I expect from an owner.. it seemed he had extreme difficulty regulating his emotions. Anyways, this was just my and my aunt’s experience. I understand the owner is human and he could’ve just had a bad day.

Came in on a Saturday afternoon, totally new to Sacramento by the way, and it was pleasantly full but not overly so. They do have a few outdoor seats, but the inside was clean and tidy. The cashier was sweet and answered my questions. I ordered the chai latte with oat milk and it tasted delicious!! It might be one of the better chai’s that I’ve tried. I’m so happy with my visit and look forward to returning :D

Fabulous coffee and chill vibe. It was obvious that their bean selection and brewing recipe is purposefully tuned. We also tried the strawberry miso toast and it is very uniquely pleasant.

I got the Hojicha latte with oat milk and it was just ok. Next time I'd probably just get coffee. The cool design of the place makes it a nice place to meet a friend, might be a bit too loud to work. Cute little outdoor patio. The vibe and service made up for the average tea latte!

Very nice and aesthetic location. Greeted with welcoming smiles and nice tunes. I visited during the early afternoon where there was plenty of seating inside and outside. I ordered a Flash Brew and they also have a bunch of food items that I might try when I revisit the location. I could be wrong but they do not seem to have any sugar packets/sugar-alternative packets lying around. Maybe I would have had to ask but they are not out in the open. Overall an awesome place with a nice tasting "Flash Brew." I would definitely revisit again.

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.

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! :)

Sooooo delicious. I have never had mushroom toast before and omg, it was delicious. The strawberry toast was light and not overly sweet and my americano was so good as well. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning but we didn't have to wait long.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Great ambiance. The toast was very fresh and delicious and the coffee was great. I think last time I was here they used to use Sey coffee beans but they seem not to be using it any more. Bummer for me I guess. The staff are welcoming and quick. I appreciate them. There is an outdoor patio by the street with a succulent wall that I thought was a nice touch. Street parking available for an hour.

We tried this coffee place during the weekend. We ordered matcha latte and latte. There was a line to order, but they were working fast. We happened to find a place to sit down and enjoy our latte. The shop wasn't big but had some tables for indoor and outdoor use. We parked at street parking around the corner.

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.

Highly recommend this place!! Their toasts are so divine and are impeccably made! And the coffee.. so exquisite! I truly just cannot recommend this place enough, it can be on the pricer side, but know that every bite and every sip will be worth it! The staff is also very friendly and happily answer any questions you may have. I would say the only downside is the location, which anywhere in downtown sac isnt the easiest place to get to or find parking at - however, dont let this deter you!

Love the ambiance in Scorpio. Unfortunately, this day I couldn't stay and enjoy it more, but I do love when I'm able to. There is seating both inside and outside and inside definitely fills up fast. Me and my friend both got as much lattes and my only complaint is that it's on the smaller side. Would love if it was a bigger size. I also wish I'd added a flavor syrup. I've gotten the chocolate syrup added before, and it was delicious. We also had the chocolate chip walnut cookie and it was very tasty, but I don't think it had any walnuts. I have always been able to find street parking outside but just keep in mind that only street parking is available!

I'm sorry but have you ever felt your taste buds dance with pure joy?! Not exaggerating. After YouTubing how to correctly pronounce Müesli, I ordered it. The way I would describe how the Müesli is prepared here is basically like cold oatmeal, like overnight oats. BUT WAIT - before you say ew- this was DELICIOUS and I'll tell you why. To me, it tasted like sweet vanilla. They added granola, raspberries, blueberries, plum, and I want to say dash of bee pollen?? Plus edible flowers. Look, when the edible flowers come out to play, you know it's going to be good. --- And the presentation--- 10/10. The inside is small and cozy. I haven't tried the Matcha, but I was told that was one of their most popular beverages. If I was to nitpick about my experience, it would be that it did take almost 20-25 minutes to receive it. (Idk if that's usual for preparing Müesli??) I'll be definitely be backkkkk to order it again!

I like this place, but it's not perfect. The coffee is mostly good, but sometimes I feel like the milk ratio is off -- like I'm drinking more milk than coffee, which takes away from coffee profile. Their rotating specialty drinks are usually pretty sweet, maybe a little too sweet for me. I also have to ask for extra hot milk because it's often served just warm. The toasts I've tried are really good, so I want to try more food items next time. Prices are very high , but honestly, it's pretty much the same everywhere these days. I'll have to be more selective about how often I come because this coffee life can get expensive fast. The space is pretty, with calm and clean Japandi vibes. I love the beautiful dried flower arrangements they have on display. Scorpio coffee is a fun spot for people watching. People trying to impress with their unique looks and typical Gen Z fits. Service can be a bit hit or miss. Not necessarily bad, but it's like their employees don't really care if you visit them or not . They are not overly friendly . No "how's your day" to guilt trip you into tipping 20 percent on top of your 8 $ cup of whatever ! On our most recent visit , the young cashier didn't even crack a smile . But I didn't take it personally, it's something about these "too hip " places that foster this kind of behavior. It is what it is ! Anyway , Scorpio is still a winner and you should check them out if you haven't already.

Excellent iced vanilla latte! Has a smooth coffee bean taste without being bitter, or overly sweetened with sugar. The Muesli was a pleasantly palatable first for me! Nice variety of oats, fruits, and nuts, which is filling enough for a meal. Very helpful service, along with nice in/outdoor seating.

My ride or die in Sac! Consistently amazing service, food, and coffee products. Exquisite offerings, always impeccably executed. The inner environment is smooth, smartly arranged; the outer seating - especially in spring and fall - flawless. So thankful to have found Scorpio.

This is perhaps my one of my favorite places to visit, especially with my father. It's a blessing as it's so close to our home! The space is beautifully designed and centrally located! The coffee is often crafted with precision and care. They also carry and often use different roasted beans from around the world which is lovely! Try their hot/iced latte (or iced cappuccino if you like less milk) or a hot hojicha latte! The food is prepared and plated with great attention to detail. And the taste is just as delicious as it looks, if not more! My favorite is their mushroom toast on sourdough bread! I also enjoy their coffee muffin. I also appreciate the wonderful staff at Scorpio Coffee for always being so friendly & welcoming and often going above and beyond. Once, I visited with my niece for her time and Sam went out of his way to pour a mocha with an adorable bear for the bear purse she was wearing; she loved it so much and would ask to visit the shop again and again. Or Miles and Matt who pour the prettiest latte art and check to make sure the drinks are suitable to the customer's taste! Or Nick and Tanya at the register who are eager to help and notice the little things. Or Scott and Alex and Hunter who are lovely chefs, serving up the scrumptious and yummiest plates of food and always find you in the midst of all the busy, busy crowds.

Food: 5/5 Drinks: 2.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Seating: 3/5 Parking: 1/5 Since located in Midtown, have to find street parking and most is limited and have to pay for. Could try to park in the neighborhood behind for free parking, but limited to two hours and can be hard to find street parking. Very aesthetic cafe both indoor and outdoor. On the smaller side so has limited indoor and outdoor seating, very popular place so seats filled up quickly. All the seating mostly hardwood and no backing so can get uncomfortable quickly. Ordered the Ochazuke: Rice and bits of salmon in a salty soup of seaweed. A warm, delicious bowl of umami flavor, 5/5 would order again. I ordered the Hojicha Latte, personally give a 2.5/5. Not very sweet or flavorful, tasted more diluted with milk. Could tell this is a place that doesn't make their drinks on the sweeter side. Would love to return and try other drinks on their menu as I feel like they use good quality matcha powder. Overall, 4/5 a great place to study and hangout with friends if you're not worried about parking. I was expecting to enjoy their drinks more but was wow-ed by their food instead. Would love to return and try more stuff on their menu.

Scorpio is the talk of the town for fine coffee enthusiasts and those who seek excellence in the third wave coffee scene. - I met a buddy here Monday late morning and I had the Horchija latte (traditionally unsweet) get it like that, it's an amazing roasted Japanese tea that is offered only in some places. My buddy went for the drip and a double shot. we were gifted this amazing pear, honey, Ricotta toast. Fresh made bread, mouth watering flavors, the most fluffy-smooth-house-made-ricotta I've ever had. Ahhh man! It was soo good! From the dope latte art, educated, and skilled baristas, to the small open kitchen making small bites from scratch and presenting tastings of beauty, Scorpio slays. Oh...and the homemade chocolate chip walnut cookies sell like hot cakes!

We ordered a mushroom toast and iced mocha. The mushroom toast was delicious! The iced coffee was so so. Could barely taste the coffee mostly the milk and a light hint of cocoa.

I've been here twice and my first experience was not as great coffee taste wise. I ordered a honey latte and I believe it's just not something I'm used to. This time I ordered just a hot oat latte and it is DELIGHTFUL! My other also got a tea not pictured but she liked it too. I love their space and service here. I had asked for a minute to look over their menu in case I wanted to try other drinks like matcha and they welcomed taking my time. Seemingly dog friendly plus they have an outdoor space for sunny days! I noticed some snacks that sounded delicious like the mushroom sandwich that I will have to try next time!

I'm Autistic and usually have a lot of questions about things I order because my curiosity is overwhelming, and the staff here are always very knowledgeable about what they're selling/making, & always super nice about giving me info. There is an employee with a nose ring that goes over their nose but I don't know their name and also someone I think named Dylan who my bf & I see almost every time we're there, and they're both SO nice every time and always give me extra details which I appreciate, like explaining their in-house made chai today and other times telling me what other drinks are when I see ones I haven't tried and am curious about. The food is also really good! I've only tried the mushroom toast and the miso strawberry toast, but both are very delicious. On Fri/Sat, they stay open later in the evening and switch their menus - I haven't tried that yet but want to soon!

I cannot tell you how much I adore this place. The ochazuke is one of my favorite dishes in Sacramento. There is something so comforting about dashi, sushi rice, salmon, and the toppings it comes with. Also, their hojicha latte is to die for; I love the earthy flavors and there aren't that many places in Sacramento where you can get this latte, let alone this flavor profile. I really cannot recommend anything else because I have found the things I like and I will not stop ordering them. My partner ordered the chocolate walnut cookie and we were amazed at how melty the dark chocolate was even without any apparent heating. As for seating, there are a few tables, a long bar with high top stools and a small room with bench seating. There is also a bench along the side of a wall with some unique tables coming out of the walls for individual seating as well. The staff always seem so cool and hip, especially compared to me, haha. They are very knowledgeable about the menu and provide great recommendations when asked. I highly recommend this place if you have a chance to stop here. It is one of my favorite coffee shops in Sacramento.

Hip, Cozy, and Caffeinated -- Scorpio Nails It Scorpio Coffee has become my daily go-to spot over the past year, and it's earned that spot with consistency and quality. They source their beans from Dak Coffee Roasters, and you can tell -- the coffee here is excellent. Drinks are made right every time, and even when new staff are being trained, the quality rebounds quickly. It's clear that the team is well-managed and takes pride in what they serve. They answer all questions in detail and know what is on the menu- if they do not know they ask and figure things out to get you the right answer in a timely manner. The interior is clean, thoughtfully designed, and spacious, with warm lighting, white walls, and faux-wood accents that give it a modern yet timeless vibe. There's a small patio outside, and parking is easier here compared to other Midtown spots -- a definite plus. Food-wise, the mushroom toast is a standout. I've ordered it a few times, and it's consistently seasoned, flavorful, and made with their own house-baked bread -- a detail that really elevates it. I also regularly order the ochazuke with extra salmon as a light snack before the gym. It's simple, comforting, and always hits the spot -- it reminds me of the kind of comforting soup-and-rice meals your mom would make for you after school. Thoughtful food done right. I also tried the müesli, which to me tasted like overnight oats -- not quite my thing, but I've seen quite a few people order it, so it seems to be a popular choice. My usual coffee order is a classic latte, but I've recently started ordering an iced matcha latte, lightly sweetened with honey and an extra scoop of matcha -- it takes it to the next level. When I'm feeling like a treat, I pair it with one of their amazing coffee muffins. Service is always friendly but efficient, and the environment stays relaxed without trying too hard. They've recently opened a soft evening menu a little over a few months now with small bites on weekends until 9 pm, and I went to support. It was an amazing vibe -- super intimate and the best way to catch up with someone. It's the kind of setting that makes you feel right at home, without being rushed. Scorpio Coffee gets all the fundamentals right: excellent coffee, great food, consistent service, and a welcoming space. It's a well-run, locally owned shop that's easy to rely on.

If I could give more stars, I would. Their matcha lattes are amazing! It's ceremonial grade and you can definitely taste it! Sometimes when I get matcha out, I can hardly taste it, but not this place. Also, the drinks are consistent. The muesli is also insane. First off, it's beautiful. But the granola is amazing. The people are great and so kind to my pup.

I read some of the reviews before coming and had to get the mushroom toast and it did not disappoint. It was best when it first came out nice and hot. Loads of flavor and delicious. Cute little coffee shop in mid-town with street parking only. This place was busy and on a Saturday afternoon, the line was out the door. They do have outdoor seating available and the best thing, they are dog friendly!

I came here on a Monday afternoon around 1pm and was surprised how busy this place is. There was a small line but the line moved fast. When I got up to the counter, I asked what type of beans they had and I believe the manager heard my question and answered it thoroughly. All I can say is the customer service is on point. Today I ordered an Iced Latte and all I can say is wow, the drink is well balanced from coffee to milk ratio and I can actually taste the espresso and not just the milk. Would highly recommend when walking around midtown!

Our most recent visit we ordered food and I got the strawberry miso toast and bf got the cold soba noodles which came with mackerel. The toast was absolutely delicious and I loved the fluffy ricotta on the toast. It was on the sweeter side which I didn't mind. Bf also enjoyed his soba as well and loved his hojicha latte. Their menu changes from time to time and will also have seasonal drinks. It is a small coffee shop inside and they tend to be quite busy. However they do have some seating outside.

Visiting from SoCal and missed all the cafes there so i wanted to find a comparable place in sac and this place did not disappoint! I got the matcha latte with oat milk and it's one of the best I've ever had. My partner got the orange mocha which was amazing. Would definitely go back whenever im back in Sac and this will be my new go to!

I love their hot toddy!!!!! I ordered a honey latte and while the coffee is strong and good, there was barely a taste of honey - so I went back and ordered my favorite- hot toddy. I can't explain how amazing this drink is here. I've never had it anywhere else, but it makes me want to try it everywhere. It's a hint of lime and orange lemon and also this warm tea all made together in the perfect cup. I wish you all could try it and I hope you do soon It's a pretty lowkey place not much interaction with customers and workers and limited seating but I come back for the hot toddy

Their matcha and coffee are wonderful. The Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious. I had the Cold Soba Noodle with Cured Mackerel multiple times last fall when it was on the menu. I've also enjoyed the Salmon Ochazuke (not pictured) so much! The menu changes seasonally so some of the things on here might not be available right now.

The space was spacious and bright with a moderate amount of seating. The cashier was kind, and another employee came out to our table to bring us our drinks and food, which I didn't expect! The (single stall) bathroom was also really clean. I ordered a Matcha Latte and a Mushroom Toast. The latte was whatever, and was quite small. The toast, on the other hand, was really great -- perfectly umami without being too salty. This spot is definitely pretty pricy, though, so I don't know if I'd return

Thoughtful service. Good food and drinks. Beautiful decor and variety of seating options. I visited Scorpio both days of my visit to Sac and will be back on our future trips. First of all, wonderful service. I made a request I've never done before asking to set aside some of the frothed milk foam from my latte for my toddler. The employee prepped a separate batch of frothy bubbles at the perfect temperature even after I said my request was too much trouble. I wish I knew her name to give her credit. Nonetheless thank you for going out of your way. Hojicha latte was delicious both iced and hot. Chocolate chunk cookie, good. Mushroom toast is scrumptious. All of the ingredients come together well in both flavor and texture.

This place has top quality matcha for those matcha lovers out there! We've tried many matcha places, sometimes it's overly sweetened that the matcha taste is drowned out, or too much milk, the matcha flavor is just not it, or whatever the case may be, but this spot makes it with a perfect blend of matcha, milk and lightly sweetened to perfection. They also have a walnut chocolate chip cookie that is soooooo good, I can't help but grab one whenever we stop by for a matcha latte.

Bathroom is so dirty Service sucks Not nice I honestly would not come back ever again since the atmosphere itself is not that of worth the experience. Do not uh huh clients or say things "here is fine" without please or saying thank you Educate your employees!

The best green breakfast in town. You can sit outside and look at the green trees. They'll bring your green drink and avo toast out to you. I like it here.

Came across this super cute coffee house/cafe in midtown sac while i was strolling thru the ice blocks! I wasn't sure what to order but the barista recommended the Bouquet Latte since i like sweet and strong drinks. my latte was absolutely delicious!!! there was hints of lavender in there which i never thought would be a good pairing w espresso but after that drink i realized that they def belong together!!! this cafe also sells food and has outdoor seating as well! the staff was super sweet, kind, friendly and knowledgeable! i can't wait to go back again!

Such a cute spot to get a little work done! There's street parking all around, limited seating area but if you're lucky you can get a nice little nook to get settled in.

Scorpio is such a solid place for coffee or matcha. I think their matcha latte is one of the better ones in Sacramento. I've also tried the hojicha and pumpkin latte, both were pretty good. Hojicha tasted a bit like a milk tea, but very nice tea flavor, it made me want to add boba to the drink. Today I tried the soba noodles and it was so yummy and so pretty. It tasted like something I would be able to order in Japan, the broth was delicious and I loved the mackerel. Mackerel is pretty fishy though, which I love, but it might be off putting for some people. The vibes here are nice, but it can be really packed sometimes. I'm kind of hoping a place in sacramento will start offering a hot Thai tea latte, I think Scorpio would do a great version... just throwing the feedback out there...

this place is so cute!! i was a little sad that their matcha comes in smaller cups considering the price, but understandable since their matcha is hand whisked and seems to be good quality. would love to come back and try their food next time - they had some interesting options!

Stand out coffee shop! FOOD: I came here because I heard they have the best matcha in Sac and I can say it is for sure high up there. You can tell they use quality matcha. Mine was sweeten with simple syrup, I think I would get it with honey next time. They have a simple menu which I love! SERVICE: Wonderful staff who are friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. AMBIANCE: This place is so cute! I love the vibe here. Simple clean earthy, Cali vibes! For sure a perfect place for a coffee date! Overall, will I be back? Yes! Adding this to my rotation!

Such a cute coffee shop! Only street parking all around unfortunately, but it's easy to find parking. I got an extra hot latte - and it was actually so hot it burned my tongue. I prefer my coffee steaming hot so I was excited to find a shop that actually does that! Coffee profile wise, it was a bit more acidic than I prefer. The mushroom toast though? Fire. The toast was thick and had the perfect crunch. They were able to modify it to be dairy free (no butter) pretty easily. The egg was perfectly runny. Highly recommend! I want to try the avocado toast next time.

Great place! I went looking for a new coffee place but got intrigued by the food menu. I picked the Mushroom Toast and the presentation itself was impressive. The bread was delicious and the mix of the mushrooms with the tender egg and the spread was delicious! Service was really good and willing to answer any questions I had despite the busy traffic. All the tables were taken with people having coffee, a bite and a nice chat without being too loud. Really nice experience! Definitely will be back to try some of the other toasts! Oh! The coffee was great too!

Tried several coffees and teas, all where amazing! Matcha is ceremony grade and allows for different milk preferences. Chocolate chip cookie with walnuts was amazing, even better warmed up. Patio was perfect to sit back and relax. Location is also dog friendly.

Matcha latte was great! The cafe is aesthetically pleasing and on the smaller side. I came on a rainy day so I think the heater was on because it was stuffy in there. Cute cafe though!

Came here mainly to study, and it ended up being a great spot for that. The environment was relaxed and cozy, with cool Japanese-themed decor, plenty of outlets, and comfortable seating--perfect for getting some work done. We grabbed a few drinks and snacks while we were there. The iced vanilla latte was alright (6/10), and the iced matcha was a bit below average for my taste (5.5/10). But the cookie was a standout--8.5/10, warm and delicious. I also tried the Nova Lox Toast, which was fresh, tasty, and nicely portioned. The staff were all really kind and welcoming . I'll definitely come back when I need a solid study spot or just want to chill somewhere with good vibes.

This is hands down one of the best coffee shops in Sac, perfect for getting some work done or just enjoying a great cup of coffee! My wife and I have visited several times in the morning to get some work done, and we've always found seating. The space is spotless, with a modern Japandi vibe that perfectly complements the coffee shop atmosphere. The Japanese influence shines through in their branding, interior design, and offerings which is a breath of fresh air from the other coffee shops around. The service is dependable, but it's their selections that truly steal the spotlight. My wife always sticks to her favorite combo, a chai latte and coffee cake muffin (which she absolutely loves), while I enjoy exploring the menu. I've tried the höjicha tea latte, cold soba noodles, and matcha latte, and I can confidently say they're all exceptional!! This has quickly become one of our go-to spots in Sacramento, and we're thrilled to have such a fantastic place to experience in the city.

Great decor, amazing pastries, and drinks that hit the mark. Seating is a bit limited, but it's perfect for a relaxed coffee break.
