Temple Coffee Roasters

This is a big beautiful open space. We came in on Wednesday about 7pm and the comfy seats were packed. There was a long line but barista was taking orders before the register so it moved quickly. The staff was smiling and friendly. The coffee was good. Like I said it was packed, but not loud. Felt like several study groups, all taking in hushed whispers.

Great coffee. Good pastry’s. Great design choices for the building. 2 best things about this place. Open late, and one of the only coffee places in all of the greater Sacramento area that provides organic milk as an option. Staff can be a bit rude sometimes, especially when they are busy. *wish they had a raw milk option*

Excellent quality coffee and friendly service. This location seems to be one of their bigger ones, with lots of seating and tables (but not where it’s jammed packed) both inside and outside, open ceilings - really nice relaxed vibe here and aesthetically pleasing.

Real coffee shop, artisan level, with a personal touch. In this city with miles of brand-new strip malls and new-school walk-up restaurants, and where customers mostly order via tablet, and where some baristas barely look your way, Temple was such a welcome alternative. In the Midtown area, they seem to be open later than many coffee shops. It was really nice to get a quality cup of coffee at that time of night, which usually is reserved for that corporate chain we love to avoid. I would most definitely trust a return trip for a decent cup of coffee or flat white.

Temple is one of my favorite coffee shops. They have excellent coffee choices and a variety of pastries to choose from. I usually go for Pour over. They usually have rotating coffee choices for pour-over. Lately, I have been drinking India Grundikhan Natural. It is smooth and mellow. I enjoy the temple ginger scone to go with my coffee; however, their seasonal pastries are just as good. Although I don't like the long lines, I enjoy the atmosphere of the place. It is definitely a place I will frequent when I am in the area.

Coffee is very good and the pastries are even better. I actually ate it before I could take a pic lol

Very good coffee and relax atmosphere with a relax and sociable staff. Pastries are limited food option but it’s the coffee why folks go. Can get a bit packed during peak times and outdoors seating is available but only good when not raining or too windy. It’s a great spot for an after dinner cup to walk off dinner

I love the vibe of a temple coffee. The style is loft and modern and always want to do something nice like work or have chat with your friends in such a place. The price may be a bit higher than average, but taste of coffee is really good.

While waiting for our table at Morning Fork, I realized that I hadn't had any coffee. We saw a couple sitting at one of the benches outside and they had coffee. I asked if it was close by. They said, "around the corner" - the best three minute walk result I've made in a while. It reminds me of if the Apple Store and Pete's Coffee merged- they would create Temple Coffee Roasters. Service was impressive. They offer a lot of different coffee options as well as espresso drinks made with tonic. I will have to try that next time. I opted for their drip coffee. The blend was very well flavored, didn't require much cream or sugar, and it definitely hit the spot. The Kid ordered the Mexican hot chocolate with whipped cream. She said it was very good as well. Sacramento Midtown is such a gem. There's something special just about every place you go.

Temple is a really cool coffee shop, and the larger location has an amazing atmosphere. It's perfect for a coffee date with friends, getting some work done, or even meeting new people--especially if you're new to Sacramento. Just a heads-up: make sure you visit the bigger location. They do have a smaller spot, but the vibe isn't quite the same. The coffee itself is average in my opinion--I've tried it multiple times and it's nothing to rave about--but they do have a tempting selection of baked goods (though I haven't personally tried them). Overall, it's a great place to mingle and relax.

BEAUTIFUL. LOCATION. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Rustic brick walls, floors covered in copper pennies. Everything worked together perfectly! The service was impressive. The barista was very charming and communicative about our orders and gave good recommendations for what to drink, since it was our first time there. My boyfriend ordered an americano and enjoyed it. I ordered a iced matcha. I'm a huge matcha nerd so my matcha expectations are very high. If I needed a quick fix, I'd trust Temple. However, my only complaint about the matcha is that I don't taste the earthy, umami undertones to the drink. It was a bit too milky and thin for my taste. I prefer a rich, creamy matcha instead. Other than that, it was great! I would go again.

This is one of my top three coffee houses ever and I visit a lot of them. I feel the vibe here is for everyone. Whether you want to relax, work, socialize....its all here. The coffee is good too. My favorites are the iced mocha, all the chocolate drinks, and their seasonal autumn tea. I had the old fashion today....eh....probably not my thing but others here seem to like it. Their view out the wkndow, especially at the tables with the cute lamps is great for people watching or rain watching or just reflecting on life. I feel on Friday and Saturday nights they should stay open a bit longer....but eh. Staff is 99% wonderfulness. This is an awesome place.

I wish this was my local coffee shop. Their summer series was amazing. The s'mores and the orange coffee were phenomenal. Also got the mocha muffin. It is spendy though.

Best coffee in Sacramento that I've tried. Coffee shop has a hipster vibe and the staff is very knowledgeable about their coffee. Very fun place to sip on coffee and chat with friends.

"Note" very hard to find parking spaces on the street. This place is definitely a popular destination as there was a line out the door, considering how many people were in the establishment I felt the line actually moved fairly quickly. walking you can't help but notice the floor and all the counters are made with wall to wall laminated real pennies! So cool. They sell their own specialty roasted beans " I bought a bag of decaf" my son-in-law got his favorite cold brew with cherry soda. " he let me try some, I must say it was quite good" they also sell doughnuts, cakes etc. they do have tables to sit at but as crowded as they were seating is a premium. Overall the ambience, prices, service, quality of coffee, and food. I have to give this place five stars.

I was in town for a brief time (attended a graduation) and I think I went to this place 2 or 3 times. Yet this is the only photo I got of the drink and it's not even in focus! hahaha, this was my first time here. Our friends recommended we come give this place a try and let me tell you...it did not disappoint! Staff were really friendly, i felt seen. how did i feel seen? idk they just chatted it up with me and made me feel like it was a safe space yknow? anyway, i wanted to try a seasonal drink and was recommended their strawberry bergamot milk tea when i asked "what is the sweetest drink you got?" this drink literally taste like a boba drink, i really like how i can taste the earl grey in it. The vibes were great, would come back here again!

Love this place. Great pastries, great coffee. There's a line on the weekends, but the staff work quickly.

Temple Coffee is a Sacramento staple. Love the ambiance inside - nice to catch up with family / friends or even get some work done. They have a variety of pastries and caffeinated beverages to choose from. They even have merch, and the staff here are all friendly. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I look forward to coming back to try one of their popular drinks.

I love Temple. I've been to several locations and everytime I still am in awe of that penny floor. It's not just where the customers walk but also in the back. The coolest design !!! Always get a bliss. It's my favorite relax drink. They of course have so many others that are great. Thanks for being reliable and amazing coffee shop.

I just realized I wrote my original review for the wrong location. I meant to put the review here. This is such a cute coffee shop and it's nice that it's open late. We wanted to go to a bar for a drink, but the vibes were all off. We stumbled upon Temple by accident. We decided to go inside because it seemed lively and clean. The barista on Thursday night around 9pm was so sweet. I wish I got her name. We ordered a Mexican hot chocolate, single espresso shot, and a cappuccino for drinks. She greeted us kindly and asked for our orders, so she can start them quickly. The other worker on the register was also very kind and welcoming. She asked us if we wanted any pastries to enjoy. We ended up getting the tiramisu. It was amazing. My husband loved his Mexican hot chocolate. We would definitely come back if we are in the area! We did come back Friday night around 8pm, the staff was also very welcoming and had great vibes. I tried the ginger snap latte, it was a nice balance of sweetness. And we got a creme brûlée and one more tiramisu to share! All very great

In my quest to find the best work spot in Sac, I stopped by Temple with a friend. It was super packed on a weekday afternoon and we couldn't find seats inside, so we sat on the patio. I wish there was a little shade outside but the vibe is good and the iced matcha was good quality and delicious! The baristas are friendly as well. We did end up moving inside when someone left but there was unfortunately no outlet access so don't plan to charge your computer. Overall, I'll be back!

I went here on a Saturday morning to meet with a friend. It was busy and there was a line out the door. Parking can be hard since it's midtown and you can park on the street. I've only been to one other Temple location on Fair Oaks Boulevard and that one is way smaller compared to this one. I haven't had much luck finding a seat at that one when I've gone. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating and plenty of seats. It was not completely full despite being busy. They also have two bathrooms. I am not a coffee drinker but it seemed like they had a variety of non coffee drinks such as sparkling water matcha which sounded interesting and is seasonal. They have chai, matcha, and various teas for the non coffee drinkers. My friend and I both got the Thai iced tea which I haven't seen before on their menu! It wasn't the normal orange color I expect out of Thai iced tea at Thai restaurants but it had the same type of flavor I'm used to. It was very refreshing! The prices for a drink are around $7 or more which is on the more expensive side. Overall, I would return to check out their non coffee drinks/seasonal menus despite them being known for their coffee their Thai iced tea was delicious! I'm glad they offer other caffeinated alternatives.

Cold brew is pretty mid compared to what I've had here in Sac so far, and my cupcake left a lot to be desired. The cold brew tasted watered down and the cupcake was just not good. Flavor was alright. But the cupcake was ice cold, and the "frosting" crumbled instantly into small chunks. I love yuzu so I was excited to try this, but after a bite or two I realized this was truly not good (and not worth the price I paid for a cupcake and coffee). The folks working here are nice, but I would not recommend this spot unfortunately. But they get a star for offering to refund my cupcake when I went to return my plate and realized I didn't eat it.

Smoothest vanilla latte I've ever had! Not bitter and not overly sweet - just right! Snickerdoodle cheesecake was a delicious addition, but I'd prob get something milder next time around like a plain cheesecake. The K street cafe has enormous indoor seating and outdoor seating as well. Love the penny coin themed floors.

Temple always hits the spot and I'm glad they carry vegan pastries!! I don't go as much as I used to because it's getting pretty expensive. This location isn't my favorite. Not ideal parking, and the patio isn't great. My last visit a few of the tables were dirty and every table was taken inside on a weekday. Don't love Midtown as much as I did when I was younger, it's getting dirty with a lot of stinky people everywhere. Great place to stop if you're walking around running errands around this location. But not my first choice. Employees are nice :)

Every time my in laws are in town we have to stop by here for coffee. We love this spot bc it's close to our house. We basically walk here and go to the farmers market. I also come and work here during Covid with my laptop. It's such a warm friendly place and staff are wonderful.

Came here for the first time around 9am on a Saturday morning and definitely will be back. Sometimes cafes feel stuffy or pretentious to me, but right away when we walked in, it felt calm and welcoming. One barista warmly said good morning to us pretty immediately and encouraged us to take our time deciding on what we wanted and even offered us a sample that they had ready. I ordered their Strawberry and Bergamot Milk Tea that was on their seasonal menu taped on the door and advertised on the counter as well and my husband ordered their Mexican Mocha which is on their regular menu. We were asked about our preferences for the milk in our drinks and the whipped cream on the mocha. The milk tea has with oat milk and the mocha has whole milk, but you can choose substitutes if you'd like. Oat milk for me and 2% for my husband. Then, we walked down to the register area and browsed all the pastries in their display case - they all looked delicious! There were many options including butter croissants, cream cheese danishes, a variety of muffins, a couple cookie options, and three donut options. I asked for a recommendation between their coffee cake donut and their peanut butter and jelly donut and was immediately recommended their coffee cake donut between the two. While we waited for our drinks, we browsed their merchandise sitting on shelves next to the napkin/trash/self-serve station. They sell hats, t-shirts, mugs, coffee filters, glasses/cups, and even a beautiful tea pot and fancy coffee maker. The environment of the cafe is natural and industrial with long live edge wooden communal tables and concrete floors. Our drinks were ready one after another and we were off. Everyone who we interacted with were super warm and friendly and our drinks were delicious! Best tasting milk tea I've ever had! It was really smooth, fresh, and flavorful - no artificial flavor and not overly sweet at all. At home I ate the coffee cake donut and it was great! Moist, fluffy, and the right amount of sweetness. The whipped cream topping was somewhat firm as opposed to airy but the taste was light. Overall, wonderful cafe and great quality!

Best vanilla latte around! Please open one in Roseville!!! The pumpkin muffin was moist and delicious. Cant wait to come back for the Farmers market and stop in!

This was a recommended by my Uber driver and so I tried it! Wow, I was surprised with the goodness f my "Winter Bliss" order! It taste delicious and so out of this world! They have pastries and what have you and it all look good but since it is dinner time I would defer! However, I would definitely try this place out if you are in the area! Also met a new friend here who was kind enough to direct me to my next adventure!

Sitting in a corner spot, nestled against a window on a warm spring night, I am reminded of why I spend 9 hrs a day in a boring office, working my life away. It's for the little things; take this cup of iced decaf for instance, it tastes delicious, it makes me happy and it doesn't get me cracked out before bedtime. There's no other place in Sacramento to find such a delicious drink at this hour, other than Temple Coffee Roasters on K St! Lately, life has been beating my beans, and admittedly, I've been giving in. But, when I get out at night, (when the tears stop falling) I know the friendly staff and delish decaf at Temple will be there to lift me up. Seriously, thank you for always being so welcoming and fun

I'm here for a conference for a couple days and came here after dinner. It's a cute little coffee shop in Downtown Sacramento with a lot of space inside and out if you'd like to work on something or hang out. I kept it simple and ordered a hot Vanilla Latte and my bf ordered one of their specials, Campfire Sing A Long. Both were really food and not super sweet. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in town.

Temple is one of my favorite roasters - I love their Three Pillars beans. This location has a beautiful and cozy setup with plenty of seating. I got their winter bliss drink and it was incredible, definitely a new seasonal favorite. They were able to make it in my own insulated cup but unfortunately it was so scorching hot when I took a sip that I had to spit it out bc of the burn... otherwise a great flavor profile and perfect amount of sweetness.

Very good coffee. Ordered a iced vanilla latte with whole milk which was very delicious. Ambience and location is aso very good. Parking can be a little tricky though

Temple Coffee Roasters Got Me in a Chokehold I can truly say -- I love Temple Coffee Roasters, hands down. I haven't had a single bad experience yet. The coffee? Top tier. Like... every cup just hits. And don't even get me started on the locations -- they all have their own vibe, but each one is giving clean, calm, and full of good energy. Whether I'm grabbing a quick cup or chillin' for a bit, it's always a whole mood. If you're looking for quality coffee and good vibes every time, this is the spot. Trust me... the coffee is soooo good you might start going out of your way for it.

Great place ! Great staff and great drinks ! I would come here for midday pick me up and it was always a great experience!

Great staff, great environment, and great management. The other day the AC went down and the manager brought in portable fans to set up for workers and patrons throughout. It was lifesaving. I haven't myself met the manager, April, but that move in itself speaks volumes and I appreciate any person that considers the experience of their employees and coworkers.

Ordered an espresso tonic here and the barista asked if a particular espresso was okay - don't remember the name of the espresso. They didn't mention that it was an additional charge, otherwise I wouldn't have said it was okay. See my review about the S Street location doing something similarly shady - ordered an oat milk latte, no syrup, but got charged for syrup. They must be desperate for sales.

I love Temple Coffee so much! Unfortunately, my London fog today was the saddest thing ever. I've had plenty of great London fogs before, and my expectations/standards of Temple are so high! My heart was tragically broken today. RIP When I got my drink, I allowed the tea to steep for a few minutes before I poured myself a cup. But once I did, I noticed that the tea was not steeped with enough time in hot water beforehand and I was given basically foamy milk with vanilla in a mug. Disappointed and surprised.

Temple has always been a good Sacramento staple coffee shop. Everything from the vibes inside and the service is always great. My favorite drink is the Mexican mocha. It has a rich and creamy taste to it which I really like. I also like the midtown location, it's close to a lot of other restaurants and it's a great place to walk around with your coffee.

Temple Coffee is such a cute spot in Sac! Giving this a three star rating though because I came to work here for a few hours and the wifi was not working. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it came out to over $9! That's quite steep for a latte!

This Temple Coffee Roasters is a favorite with their penny floors and comfortable indoor and outdoor seating. You'll usually find a line out the door during peak hours, but the staff is pretty quick with getting people through the lines. The staff is really friendly as well and can talk you through ordering a drink that you'll like best. I usually pick up some whole beans when I stop in and during certain times of the year they'll do promotions where you can get a cute mug or a deal when you buy beans. They have a good variety of coffee supplies as well and I love seeing the new tumbler designs they come out with throughout the years. It's a great spot to meet up with friends or hang out to work and enjoy some coffee and a pastry. They have two all gender bathrooms as well that have always been clean when I've used them which is nice.

A couple years ago I wrote a review about the problems with homeless people increasingly coming into the shop and behaving unsafe in the cafe. This was upsetting because I enjoyed coming to this location with its very friendly staff, the baristas really engage with you and make you feel welcomed. Management was fast in contacting me and addressing my concerns. I am very happy that since my earlier review, management has made strides in improving the vibe and safety in the cafe and the staff make it a great place to hang out at and enjoy a drink.

I've heard a lot of hype about Temple, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The coffee was good and the staff were friendly, but overall it just didn't blow me away. Maybe my expectations were a little too high going in. It's definitely better than your standard Starbucks run, but when it comes to local chains in Sacramento, I personally prefer a few others. Solid, just not my go-to.

This review is overdue. I visited Temple Coffee on Friday, 09/29/23, in the morning time. I decided to order the Iced Mexican Mocha drink. The drink was truly delightful as well as refreshing. The staff members were nice and welcoming inside of the establishment as well. I recommend coming here for delectable coffee drinks.

My husband and I joke that temple kept us going during the hardest time of our lives.... But it's not really a joke. Haha. During our son's first 9 months of life, he was at sutter hospital NICU & PICU. We looked forward to grabbing a coffee every day here that we could. Always a drip and vanilla latte, except when the fall drinks come out we get a little adventurous. Everything is so good and the staff are some of the kindest and friendliest people you'll see. xx

Temple roasts and serves high-quality coffee in the Sacramento area. This location is super awesome (close to Lavender Heights). Temple always has good staples on their coffee and baked goods menu, and they pair that with a rotating, seasonal selection that can't be beat! This location has a few spots to sit outdoors but there's plenty of space inside too. The employees are helpful in suggestion coffee if you get overwhelmed by all the choices.

First time at this location, and even though it was pretty busy, the service was quick and efficient. We stopped in after the farmers market and ordered the Poppyseed dessert, which was a bit too sweet for me, along with a Chai and a Mexican Mocha (both with oat milk). The drinks were delicious and perfect to enjoy on our walk home.

I tried the Mexican Mocha and it was just awful. It lacked flavor, tasted like water. I would probably pick something else from the menu to try.

I come here all the time, the ambiance is perfect and they have some wall plugs in the back for working/studying. there's sometimes regular homeless people who come in and disturb some of the guests and regularly hang out around the windows in front of the outlet wall which can get really distracting. but the employees are really nice and they offer healthier bakery options.

Amazing spot to do work if you work remote!! It can get crowded so be prepared to squeeze in somewhere. The vibes are so warm and cozy. And the coffee is delicious!!

Lovely cafe, friendly faces, and delicious coffee. I stopped by for some brew and noticed they had some good looking pastries on yelp. I don't know the area very well, but this is a must stop for future visits. The snacks and coffee are lit like candlelight. The baristas were greeting everyone and showed an true interest in the customers even though they were super busy for a holiday weekend. Thank you for the savory scones & coffee! Can't wait to brew some beans at home.

Great vibes and chill music Coffee - they have speciality flavors of the season. We got the Mexican Mocha and Not Your Mama's Umami. Both were well brewed espresso, with sweet and creamy chocolate, and topped with powder. Food - they have artisan chocolate bars, granola bars, and pastries (muffins, loaves, croissants). The inside is bright and full of plants. The perfect study and hang out spot.

I needed a place to do some work and stumbled upon this coffee shop. It's a cute vibe for sure. Lots of seating, which is perfect when needing to get work done. I'm new here and so I wasn't quite sure how to order. Needless to say I wanted to try something new but didn't know what or how to order. It wasn't self explanatory. Anywho I ended up getting drip coffee. The pastries are on the other side of the counter, which made it difficult to see ahead of time to know what to order. I ended up getting an almond croissant. Since I dined in, the coffee was served in a small coffee mug with saucer. The almond croissant was served cold. They should offer these warmed up. I guess if you're a regular you'll get the hang of ordering their specialty items. I however wanted to but since it wasn't noticeable I stuck with what I knew. I paid around $12 total for both items. Parking is street but free for 2 hours.

A great location, beautiful inside and excellent coffee inside. Plenty of business mid-day on- a Friday, it seemed there was always at least one person ordering, and the staff was quick moving the line along. I went with a Mexican Mocha, great flavor and presentation as well. Plenty of area for workspaces, but one hint - be sure your equipment is powered up before you arrive, for the majority of seating has no easily-accessible electric outlet.

This Temple Coffee location is a super chill coffee shop with great espresso drinks and ample seating. It has a great coffee shop vibe and is a fantastic place to get work done. There is a lot of available parking nearby, too. I highly recommend it.

Spent a busy day in Sacramento getting ready for a week of houseboating. Woke up the next morning and urgently needed some caffeine. Grab my phone and Yelp "good coffee near me" . Up comes Temple Coffee Roasters. The hubs offers to go get coffee while I take a shower. He came back with manna from the heavens...in the form of coffee. Simply put, an a amazing, well balanced, delicious cup of coffee. He said the store was cute and trendy and the staff were really nice. I have no first hand knowledge of the store, BUT THE COFFEE IS FANTASTIC!

My body is a Temple and this place keeps my soul happy. Been going to Temple for years now since we moved to Sac. This is the best Temple in my opinion because it feels like home. I worked here before.. clickity clacking my keyboard as I eat yummy pastry, my delicious matcha sweetened with vanilla. I am the main character in my life and on days I don't want to make my own matcha, I come here. Consistent, aesthetic, cool ambiance, familiar.... This place is my spot. Sunday morning breakfast? Temple. Random Tuesday? Temple. Have you seen their penny floor? I always wonder how much in total they used. Maybe I'll get merch next time, maybe I'll get two pastries.. I am not sure where this life will take me but I'm sure I'll be there this weekend.
