This is now my 4th Temple location I’ve visited, and I love it every time! Had the Java single origin French press and I was really blown away by how good the French press was. Super cool shop, and I’d be happy to visit any Temple Coffee Roasters I come across!

I had previously ordered their beans online, and I finally got the chance to visit in person. I ordered a latte and a black coffee—both were great. The coffee quality was solid, and the vibe of the café gave me a really good feeling. It's definitely a trendy spot and worth visiting.

Coffee is great plus vegan muffins and donuts. Being ignored by the barista for an uncomfortable period of time while she stuffed her face and slurped her beverage made me feel unwelcomed. Love the patio and midtown location.

Today marked my first visit to Temple Coffee. I had heard wonderful things about this spot, so while I was in the neighborhood, I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t catch the name of the staff member who assisted us, but she was instrumental in helping my husband and me choose our coffee drinks. We both opted for lattes with sugar-free vanilla, which were expertly crafted and not overly sweet. We also shared a ham and cheese croissant that was absolutely delicious. The service was prompt and efficient, even with a busy crowd of customers coming and going. I'm looking forward to trying a different coffee on my next visit!

Enjoyed an espresso shot with a side of tonic water(my husband said it probably the best one he has had in a while) and I enjoyed a Cold brew with added milk and brown sugar Simple syrup made in house sandwiches from Puskin's Bakery around the corner.

Stopped in for a quick espresso. At first I did not understand the counter instructions at all (order from where? stand where? why isn't it obvious?) and wasn't sure if I should sit or give my order. Thankfully, the tall barista with glasses and dark hair (near the pastry display in my photo) was friendly and helped me when I looked confused. She suggested a nice banana bread and was overall much friendlier and more helpful than the other staff. This location was super full in the afternoon with workers. I probably won't be back, but I wanted to shout out the one staffer that saved the day for me. She seems like she really cares about customers.

Temple used to be great place for coffee but lately it has been very meh...Staff is hit and miss, sometimes they are very helpful and sometimes they don't seems to want to be there. The coffee is pretty solid but there are so much better options around the area now. Nonetheless, it is a good option for solid cup of coffee.

My first time visit Temple Coffee on S street and I had great experience with both customer service and coffee. Barista is friendly and so helpful. He recommended me vanilla latte and matcha latte. The outdoor patio is large enough. Overall, coffee drinks and patisseries are great at Temple. Nothing can beat the aroma of a freshly brewed coffee.

Arguably one of the best Coffee shops here in Sacramento that I've been to. When I think of "Coffee Shop," this location pretty much defines it for me, in other words this place is what I feel like a coffee shop should be. I feel like Temple lives up to their given reputation. There are many locations around Sacramento and I went to the one on S Street and the service at this spot did not disappoint. The line was to the door when I arrived which is probably typical in the mornings, and as I got closer to the front, the kind worker took my order, didn't even have to wait to get to the register to have my order taken which was pretty nice. Ordered a plain cold brew and honestly it's one of the best ones I've had around Sac. The taste was just right for my liking, it was very earthy and smooth in my opinion. I'll definitely be back.

Came here for Mother's Day Surprisingly not that crowded I was by myself because I wanted to enjoy my coffee hot for once I couldn't find any parking There is a small parking in front of the coffee shop but it was full And I couldn't find street parking either There is a parking garage I found conveniently close So I parked there , I'm not sure how much I need to pay for it yet . Service was wonderful and quick Barista helped me with picking my order and my order was ready before I even finished paying . Outside seating is beautiful with singing birds around me. I ordered a cappuccino with Oat milk and a hint of vanilla . It tasted delicious, and not overly sweet. Will definitely come back again.

This is a very cute spot, perfect for studying. I was excited to try it here! I'm a huge matcha fan and I was a bit skeptical if it was real matcha. This place seemed like a genuine legit coffee spot so I assumed they had authentic matcha. To be sure, I asked the cash register if it was actual matcha, if it tasted earthy, and told her how much I love strong grassy earthy matcha. She said yes to my questions and said they used a good quality matcha powder. To my surprise, I got a very milky matcha drink. I don't even think I can call it a matcha drink. It tasted like a matcha flavored milk. The color was incredibly light. I wish I took it back and got a different drink. I took a few sips, threw it away and went to another coffee shop. Next time, I know to ask what color the matcha drink is. My partner got a Mexican mocha and that drink was actually good. I wish I got that instead. I would definitely get that if I came back. Don't know if I will though. Giving it 3 stars because I wish the person taking my order knew more about matcha and realized that if I was picky about matcha, I wouldn't like theirs. I genuinely wouldn't call it a matcha drink. If they're going to offer a matcha drink, they should make it right or even at least close to how it's supposed to be made/taste. It was a disgrace to matcha. Get any other drink besides the matcha.

Note: 9th street location not S! This place just keeps getting nastier.. stopped by early so zero excuse.. the soured cream floating on top of the coffee and on the lid is from not cleaning the container that holds the creamer

I came here with my niece, and we walked in on a Wednesday morning. The line was out of the door, which was a little silly. They had a yummy coffee sample called Wonderlust, which I enjoyed when we ordered The ladies behind the counter were extremely sweet and had great customer service throughout when I placed my order. I actually asked for coffee cake, but instead got this little pumpkin donut thing which wasn't bad, but not what I ordered. The drinks were good and there's plenty of outdoor seating, which is nice. They are playing cute Lofi coffee shop music inside and it's a nice place to get some work done considering it seems that there's ample seating despite the long line. To me it seems like it's a place for a lot of state workers or people working at the hospital to go. It's also right next to the co-op, which is literally one of my absolute favorite grocery stores.

One of the many decent coffee shops in good ol Sac! I like the rustic vibes of the place. Ordered a vanilla latte, which is pretty generic, but it was good. The pastries are humongous, and only tried the cheese danish so far but it was also good.

I don't know how I overlooked on writing a review for Temple Coffee on S Street. I love coming here on the weekend after the gym early in the morning and treat myself to a nice cup of special coffee/tea and a pastry/muffin. I usually drink black coffee during the week, so this is a treat! This location is always busy because of the open space and comfortable seats/couch. It's common to see a lot of people with their laptops and headphones. It's next to Revolution Wine, Pushkin's, and Sac Food Coop. There is a small outdoors parking lot next door, limited street parking and my last option is to park at the garage structure if I can't find parking. It's free to park inside the garage on the weekend. I'm not sure about weekday. I always like to try their seasonal drinks. For today's visit, I had the WINTER BLISS. Its peppermint tea steeped in chocolate coconut milk & soy milk, topped with dark cocoa sugar/sprinkles. Yeah, I'm trying to hold on to winter a little longer before we have to observe day light savings next Sunday. All I can say is the drink reminds me of christmas~winter~snow. It was perfectly sweeten with a distinct taste of the peppermint tea. Next week, I'll be back to my Matcha Latte or Green Jasmine Teas ;-) Don't leave without getting a piece of pastry. I like their almond croissants and muffins. I want to say it's sourced from a local bakery but I'm not sure. I have to remember to ask the next time. The baristas are always friendly and happy! Temple Coffee is distributed nationwide, with eight coffee houses in Sacramento area. Skip Starbucks for a change and support local!

I love this coffee spot the staff is incredibly friendly, always welcoming, and very professional. They greet you with a smile and ask how you're doing. Unfortunately, the vibe inside is a bit off due to the crowd it attracts. If you're having a normal conversation, you might get shushed. It feels more like a library than a café, with people camping out all day on their laptops in complete silence

First time at this location. Came here for a coffee date. This is a nice coffee shop. They offer indoors and outdoors seatings. Got there at 5pm weeknight and there were no available seatings inside. Luckily it wasn't extremely cold outside. Since it was my first time there, I thought the process was to order at the cashier. Boy, I was wrong lol. You place your order on the left counter with a barista then walk to the right to pay at the cashier. The staffs were friendly and told me to not worry about it. They said most customers did the same thing! =P I ordered the Mexican hot chocolate. It came in a to go cup. The chocolate was hot and definitely a good way to keep me warm while sitting outside.

I've been coming to this location for many years now and it's the closest just coming from Elk Grove. I think I've been to almost all of the Temple locations within the Sacramento area but still find myself coming back to the S St location. It's small but cozy. There are indoor and outdoor seating. Usually I like to sit and sip but sometimes to go has been my option lately. I do love that they offer a seasonal menu and changes every year with a few returning staples. My go to lately has been an oat milk cappuccino (Dharma) and the Enlightenment which is a Jasmine tea steeped in soy milk with added honey. Something so simple as a Jasmine tea is great on cold fall/winter mornings or if you're sick. It's the perfect hug in a cup. Service is always great and if you come often, the baristas remember your order! I don't come often but I try to. I enjoy seeing the same baristas everytime I visit, so longevity is a thing at Temple. Also, if you buy a tumbler, bring it back to use for your drinks and get a discount.

My favorite coffee spot in Sacramento! Multiple locations. Great coffee. Yummy pastries. Each location has its own cute little vibe. I usually just get my iced soy latte sweetened with brown sugar, and every sip is just heavenly. I look forward to my morning cup of joe from this place, it's just sooooo good! The service is superb, workers are super friendly. The S St. one is my favorite location, it's this adorable cozy brick building, dog friendly. Great ambiance to chill, hang out, get productive, read a book, it definitely my favorite vibe out of all the locations.

Temple Coffee is seriously doing the most this spring and I am HERE for it! From the seasonal sips that taste like sunshine in a cup to the cutest little plush pup I'm officially obsessed. The vibe? Immaculate. The coffee? Next level. The spring menu? A must-try. Whether you're grabbing a quick pick-me-up or settling in for a slow sip moment, Temple never misses. Run, don't walk to try their latest!

1/26/25- Memories... a scent or taste can overload you..and bring you back to such a wonderful place of time... Happily picked up a bag of the Brazil Campos Altos.. So excited, I had to ground the bag when I got back home! Brewed this morning- Scent now swirling in the area like a barista Amy house- hehe.. Love the look of a light caramel .. Taste- extremely smooth- Frothed with organic soy milk- splash of mct oil- and a drizzle of date syrup- ! A perfect custom created soy latte!

Temple has many locations for good reason. The coffee here is solid. They roast their own beans too, which solidifies that they are good! There is always a line when I come here and the coffee is on point every time. No matter what coffee I order, they all come out delicious! Even the pastries here are good. Welcoming staff, great ambiance and clean bathroom! I love the outdoor seating!

What can I say? Temple is such a great place to grab your morning coffee fix and pastries especially if you're working around the area. The first time I went here, I tried their iced matcha which I think was decent! However, I came back again to grab an iced vanilla latte and I think out of all my time drinking coffee- Temple had the most smoothest, and boldest flavor to their coffee. Literally 5/5 for me. The service is also super great as well! The workers there have always been so sweet and I love their energy! The ambience can get a little busy at times but your mix of those catching up in those trying to get some work done all is what makes a cafe!

Ordered a hot oat milk latte and was charged for a syrup I did not request or receive. I double checked with my husband to see if he tasted simple syrup or something, but he didn't. Since I was sneakily charged for a special espresso at a different Temple location (see other review), I'm starting to think employees are encouraged to rip customers off. Won't be going anymore.

As I've been (slowly) learning more and more about Sacramento's growing food scene, two things have become increasingly clear - there's an awesome beer culture in the city and there's a seemingly abundant number of coffee shops that can be found. Both suggest that folks up here really appreciate the art and skills that goes into crafting the two, but I can't help but wonder if perhaps folks overindulging in the former also helped to create the latter as well. Either way, I'm certainly not complaining - I always enjoy a tasty, cold pint of beer, but really, it never hits the spot the way a delicious cup of coffee does! Even though my first visit to Temple Coffee came more as a byproduct of wanting to check out Pushkin's Bakery (it's located on the other side of the building), the dynamic was actually reversed for all of the other trips I've made to the two. Honestly, I just really like almost everything about this place - the decor is a bit trendy and hipster (but not in an obnoxious way), the general vibe is warm and casual, and, most importantly, the menu offerings are rather impressive. Whether you're looking for a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, Temple's menu has something for nearly every taste - French press, drip, cold brew, Americano, Gibraltar, matcha lattes, chai lattes, roughly twenty varieties of teas, Mexican Hot Chocolates, seasonal drinks, and so much more. Plus, the beans they use changes regularly, originating from countries like Colombia, Costa Rica, and Ethiopia, just to name a few, and even note if they're women produced, which is awesome of them to highlight. Of course, what's even more important is that the coffee (and tea) they put out tastes good and, yes, I can confirm - the coffee they put out does, in fact, taste good! The first time I was here, I opted to get their FRENCH PRESS ($varies), which I don't often see offered at a lot of places. Even when I do, they certainly don't give you a French press to take with you to your table so that you can pour it when you're ready (they also give you a timer so you know when they suggest pouring it out). As for how it tasted, it was terrific - I liked how robust and smooth the flavor was. In addition, I've also had their DRIP COFFEE ($4.25 large) and their COLD BREW ($6), which are a bit more straightforward, but hit the spot perfectly and also don't take as long if you are ordering to-go. Since all of my visits here have included walking over to Pushkin's, I've yet to try any of the baked goodies Temple has to offer. However, I plan on making a point of it the next time I'm here, as everything always looks so good in the display case (and in the photos on Yelp). If there was one "bad" thing about this place, it'd be that they're usually pretty busy, so snagging a table can be a little hit or miss. However, between its super convenient location and the wealth of street parking around here, Temple is perfect for a quick stop to get a caffeine fix when I'm on the go!

Came here on a rainy Thursday mid morning with a friend. Great study space with multiple outlets and cozy ambiance. Very friendly staff. No avocado toast at this location, but they make fabulous lattes.

Love temple coffee, esp the H street location. consistently good. I also like that they have seasonal options. My personal favorites are the gingerbread latte and orange blossom latte. Only downside is no real savory food options. It's a little pricey but worth it IMO because the quality is top notch

what's there not to like about this location. . the patio is pretty amazing. the patio is big and lots of tables shared with the wine restaurant. there is plenty of big community tables as well. . parking wise there is a parking structure for you to park if your visiting the whole foods too. . My go to order is their ice drip, which is ice coffee. They rotate the flavor daily or every other day. I love drinking black coffee to taste the beans. I love latte and other drinks too but nothing beats a ice black coffee. . If you are here on the weekend for coffee, you also dine next door at revolution which has great brunch options. . Overall temple is still my favorite spot in sac for coffee. I just love the service, vibes of each cafe, and the coffee is consistent. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. Follow me for more.

Amazing service helped us right when we came in the door, we felt a little lost in the new shop and the barista behind the bar was super friendly! I forgot to catch his name (Curly hair cool guy) drinks and cookie were just amazing sweetness and flavor to a perfection! Bold flavors with perfect subtle flavors! Chill vibes a perfect stop before hitting the airport back to Burbank!

My best friend raved to me about Temple, a popular specialty coffee company based out of Sacramento. How could I miss the opportunity to support this locally owned and operated cafe? I'm a full supporter of cafes that serve drinks for all preferences and include a seating area. This location of Temple is perfect to sip, chill, or work at--good vibes included! Inside is quite spacious--open windows, plenty of wooden tables, and cozy music with brick walls. The outdoor patio is lush and great for basking in the fresh air. Service is the definition of friendly, fabulous, and fun! You will order with the barista, they craft it in front of you, and your drink is ready by the time you pay. As a gal partial to tea and with my friend's recommendation--I went for the Enlightenment. It was pure harmony for my body! The Jasmine green tea was floral, fragrant, and soothing while the honey gave it a slight sweetness. The soy milk was perfectly creamy since I don't drink dairy. I'd love to try their other special offerings but it seems that coffee and tea are widely available and perfected here! There are several Temple Coffee Roasters locations throughout Sacramento. This one in Midtown seems to be quite popular and busy with locals. Parking is available in the free lot. If you're looking for wonderfully prepared drinks, courteous service, and a local cafe then this is your spot!

temple coffee, you had surprised me with the cola cherry cold brew! it actually was so good and omg the energy i had after!!! also tried the vanilla latte which was good. i really want a caramel drink but didnt realize they didnt have that flavor. two drinks were roughly about $15. i would come back to try other flavors.

Almost always hopping, every time I come, probably due to their close proximity to the Sac Co-op. I love their chai, although at $7, it's a bit pricy. Love their selection of delicious, dairy-free baked goods. Best of all are the hours- open till 10 pm! I hate that so many coffeeshops close so early. A nice spot to meet up with friends in the evening and chill.

Street parking or park in a garage that's near the grocery store. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the Bliss and it was really good! It was peppermint tea, coconut milk, and honey, and it was perfection. They have great tea and coffee selections, and I have more to try! Recommendation(s): - Bliss Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Street parking or park in the garage that's near the grocery store - Accept Apple Pay - Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating

My husband and I are visiting town and Temple is a short walk from the Airbnb we're renting so we dropped in for our coffees this morning. We got an iced americano, the "camp counselor" seasonal drink, and a banana bread. Everything was ready quickly and I LOVED my camp counselor--it was so refreshing! The glassware was pretty too which is always nice. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was polite and friendly, even to one of their unhoused neighbors, which was lovely to see. We'll probably be back at least once before we have to head home.

Done! Slightly more caffeinated that a typical day, but I finished Temple's passport today. This being the final location I needed to visit I came this afternoon instead of waiting until tomorrow morning. The associates at each location were wonderful. Had that not been the case I would not have continued. Final drink was an oat milk macchiato. I appreciate the promotion and what Temple is doing to donate to a meaningful local cause.

Love Temple Coffee!! We purchase their beans regularly so we can grind them, and enjoy the coffee at home. Definitely high quality coffee. Anytime we go inside the shop, the staff are very nice and knowledgeable. We have never had a bad experience.

It is rare for a 5 star review for me but this location and company is a family staple. They converted an old brick building into the roasting location. But then created this amazing coffee shop location. Is you like fourth wave coffee this is the location in the Sacramento area to experience and immerse yourself in. The staff is always so professional and helpful. They really get you, no matter who you are... The coffee?? Well is the word amazing overused? The coffee is amazing. They are innovative in the types of coffee's they offer. Just look at the pictures this time around they have made mixed drinks but with coffee instead of alcohol.. so if you are in the area stop in and enjoy the day..

Decent drinks and chill ambiance. The issue with all temple coffee is that it's overpriced and you'll be looking at over $7 for a drink if you want to include a tip. 3.5 stars and could be 4 if price doesn't keep rising

This place was highlyyy recommended by my colleagues and I'm so glad they did! I got here around 3 to do some work and it was a little busy, probably residual from lunch hour, but I would try to go here not around peak hours because parking could get a bit tricky! I ordered an Iced Mexican Mocha with the homemade whipped cream. It gave the feeling you get of having a hot cocoa after a cold day, of course without it actually being a hot cocoa - just very homey in a sense! I studied outside on the patio, which was cute with all of the greenery! Will def be frequenting here :)

I love this Temple. They have outdoor seating. They also have a lot of seating for people working, studying, and lounging. Most parking around here is only 2 hours. I loved to come here for the day and do work and read a good book. I LOVED their seasonally drink - Daydream. It's an Earl gray drink with a chocolate and coconut foam.

Really good coffee and tons of gluten free AND vegan pastry options. Their drinks were perfectly balanced and the pastries aren't too sweet, just right! We had a latte with almond milk, regular latte, double chocolate donut and morning glory donut and everything was delicious. Wish they had some locations in the Bay Area; we were just passing through Sacramento and were lucky enough to find it. Cute interior and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

We saw this coffee shop near our house since we are looking for a nice meeting location earlier this morning. I was amazed how good the interior is. Love the vibes, kinda busy on a saturday morning. There is enough parking area for the customers. Love their danishes. I ordered vanilla latte coffee and butter croissant. Forgot to take a picture of it but its great. Love the place and the price of their coffee and food. Nice place to hang out and do some work project or stuff. Very cozy and they also have an outdoor seating if you wanted to. Will go back again next time to try their other coffee and breads.

Recently they changed pastry providers and I got a bacon pastry. After I left I realized there were MAGGOTS inside. That is not a joke. This Temple is not up to the standards of the others. so absolutely horrified and disgusted.

When it comes to the large variety of coffee roasters in the Sacramento area, I would have to say that "Temple Coffee Roasters" is as good as it gets. Since debuting their first location in Downtown Sacramento (back in 2005), they currently have (as of 2023) eight locations and roasterie all in the greater Sacramento area. Since the competition is fierce with coffeehouses as well as making my own espresso/drip coffee from home, I usually visit Temple once a month on average. The location I am focusing on is none other than Midtown/East Sacamento at the corner of 29th and S St's. If my memory serves me right, this has been around since 2009/10 as this is a very popular spot a little bit off the grid. From an artistic point of view, this has got to be one of the most quaint and original buildings where they serve coffee. At first glance, it looks like you're going into a private residence. Especially with the lush landscaping surrounding it. The inside though has a very cozy feeling with the low ambient lighting, brick walls, soft meditating music, the abundance of seating, and the impressive rear of the building where they have a full display of their coffee grinder. From an aesthetic standpoint, this setup and layout is more what you'd expect in Seattle or San Francisco so I give all the credit where credit is due for the folks at Temple to truly make this place stand out boldly and proud of their business. The coffee itself is bold, strong, and exactly what you'd expect from a coffee roaster. I've tried their competitors ("Chocolate Fish", "Pachamama", "The Mill", & "World Traveler" (just to name a few) and I feel that Temple has always been consistently delicious. Everything that varies from cold brew, French press, espresso drinks, teas, and everything in between. The food here is freshly baked on a daily basis with a nice assortment of cookies, homemade breads, and muffins. During my visit, I ended up going with their "Iced Vanilla Latte" (for about $6.45 + tax). The drink tasted sweet with the rich, aromatic flavor of the espresso. Having tried many of their drinks, they have always ranged from above average to excellent. The primary reason for deducting a star to this review is primarily because service can be very slow. I've come here on numerous occasions where it can take up to 25 minutes from the time I park my car to the time I leave for just a simple drink. Other than that, this is an above average "Temple Coffee Roasters" that I highly recommend.

Visited temple with family as we have heard it is a great spot for coffee. I ordered the Vanilla Latte which was a good drink. They got the Mexican Mocha which was also good! The baristas were friendly and greeted us quickly upon our arrival. I enjoyed the true coffee shop ambiance with people all around working while enjoying a beverage. My husband got the mocha brownie muffin but it was really dry. I would go back to try another coffee.

I've been coming to Temple ever since high school (10 years) and they've been consistent through it all. They keep their menu and flavorings simple, my go to is always their vanilla latte but they had recently added a new syrup, brown sugar which is absolutely delicious!! The staff is always friendly and helpful as well. The inside has plenty of seating that does tend to get packed pretty quickly, but I always opt to sit outside. Their patio is beautiful and perfect if you just wanna sit and enjoy your coffee/tea or get some work done.

Try this coffee that everyone that I know in Sac is telling how great this coffee is. 1) the coffee place is located side of the street. Easy to find and it can get busy. Down fall, limited parking and also limited side parking 2) The price is not competitive enough, the taste is ok. Drinking coffee all over the place and the world to know what is a great cup of joe. 3) the staffs are friendly and very helpful. 4) the surrounding is ok. Overall not bad to give it a try and judge for your self.

Went to Sacramento for a Kings game & tried this coffee place in the morning. The shop has a gorgeous seating area out front, with all the plants and greenery and inside was a perfect area to come in and sit to study or read. It wasn't too loud in there but there was enough tables and seats. Oh & cute stuff for sale: mugs, tumblrs, shirts, hats, etc. Staff was friendly and answered questions and offered recommendations We tried the mocha and matcha latte. The kiddos had hot chocolate. I did ask for the hot chocolate to be room temp but they came too hot to even carry. Kids weren't too happy to wait for their hot chocolates to cool down but the drinks were good. Not too sweet and shop offered milk alternatives.

3/28/2023: Drip vs. French Press, i.e., drip coffee from a machine verses French Press . . . Debates, rebuttals~ANYONE? THE EGREGIOUSLY, HUGE MISTAKE not getting the French Press Coffee: AUGH! FYI: The drip coffee was filled with bitter, unpleasant aftertaste tannins~ewwww! Next time, I don't care how much I'm in a hurry, I will SPEND THE EXTRA FIVE MINUTES waiting for the French press brewing my coffee to perfection!

This is a nice little local coffee shop that we sometimes walk to, there's usually a good amount of people studying, working, or just hanging out chatting. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, extremely attentive as well. I had the Mexican mocha, it's definitely super chocolate-y as expected but I substitute the milk for almond which made it even more chocolate-y lol and we also had the vanilla latte, which is super yummy and a classic. One thing I would say is there pastries run out pretty fast, and there's not always a lot of options available. We enjoy stopping here during our walks.

Love this place to work! Not a lot of outlets but great pastries and coffee. Very cute ambiance and plenty of parking at the parking garage across the street. Gotta pay though. Some street parking but I think that's paid too.

Temple never seems to disappoint. The coffee taste so fresh and flavorful that you will never regret having a cup of coffee. If you enjoy coffee, that is definitely a place to go.

This is one of the cuter temple's that I've been to but I wish their parking situation was a little better! There's a very small and tight lot right next to it but otherwise there's street parking and possibly a parking garage nearby? This is also one of the busier temple's that I've been too, but the staff is still so friendly and efficient! I got to try this location while on my journey to complete their passport which really has been such a fun way to explore not only the different Temple locations but sacramento!

What a fabulously bougie coffee shop. Came here with a friend to catch up and we were so enamored with the bougieness of the spot. This shop is fairly close to my home and I have never took the time to stop in, boy am I happy I took the time to do that this evening. First things first it was pouring down raining, 7pm on a Sunday and it was still packed. Full disclosure I am a dealers choice kind of gal and I cannot tell you what I had. At the suggestion of the barista I had something with coffee and sweet DELICIOUS! The place is a vibe, the prices are reasonable to craft coffee. My one drawback for the location itself was staff started walking around saying they were closing an hour before the listed hours. One drawback for the area is: PARKING. I believe parking was two hours on the street, parking lot was small, and if you're a renegade there is the parking garage for the coop that has plentiful parking.... but your car MAY get towed.
