Great Coffee Spots in Sacramento, CA

Starting the day off with a good cup of coffee is a must for this blogger. The coffee scene has changed dramatically over the past several decades. Starbucks gets credit for getting specialized coffee to the masses. The market has exploded with small roasters and great tasting coffees in nearly every large city and small town across America since that first Starbucks store at Pikes Place Market in Seattle. We have come a long, long ways from drinking canned coffee in the morning. No offense to those who still drink it that way! I'm just saying we have a lot more choices now.

Here are a few of my favorite places to pick up or sit and enjoy a good cup of coffee in Sacramento, CA. I have included links to their web sites so you can find locations easily.

Excellent Espresso 

1.  Temple Coffee Roasters has several locations in Sacramento. They offer public classes on coffee.  http://templecoffee.com


2. Insight Coffee Roasters also has several locations in Sacramento. I was at one of their stores on a recent Saturday and observed one of their classes. I drink black coffee and really like their brew. I always seem to want a second cup, it's that good.http://www.insightcoffee.com


3. Chocolate Fish may seem like a weird name for a coffee establishment, but their flat white is awesome. http://www.chocolatefishcoffee.com


4. Old Soul in Midtown is right in the middle of Midtown. This cafe has friendly staff and comfortable couches and chairs to enjoy.  http://www.oldsoulco.com


5. Naked Coffee Lounge in Midtown is a popular spot for state workers to grab a cup as they get off light rail near the 16th Street stop. http://www.nakedcoffee.net


6. Yellowbill Cafe and Bakery serves Chocolate Fish Coffee. Their bakery items are excellent. http://www.yellowbill.com


7. Peet's Coffee and Starbucks have many locations in Sacramento. http://www.peets.com and Starbucks link:http://www.starbucks.com

The next time you visit Sacramento and need to get the day started right these establishments will get you going. Fresh bakery items are available, too. Most of these establishments have outside sitting for those nice evenings when you want to enjoy a roast. 

Cheers!
