I was in Sacramento for work and looked for a nice coffee shop to get some work done for a few hours. Staff was friendly enough. Coffee was not fresh, but I didn't make a big deal about it. What truly upset me was being asked to leave the area I had my things set up in for a less desirable area of the shop to accommodate the set up of a private event. As a paying customer, I thought it was rude for someone to approach me and tell me that I had to move. In the future, if you know that there is a private event scheduled for an area of your shop, you should have signage posted to give your walk-in customers a heads up and give them the choice to sit in another area or go to another business. I won't be returning.

Cafe inside a shared workspace. The latte was excellent.

Unfortunately our cortado was horrible and tasted like sour milk and a burnt/sour smell to match. It seemed the shot was extremely under extracted.
The yam flat white and miso caramel latte (after adding a bit of sweetener) was good! But I can’t give more than 2 stars since sugar and milk is easy to make taste good. As a coffee shop, the cortado should also be good. We were also very surprised they don’t have whip cream

Food is baked here on site. Enjoyed the swirled pumpkin bagel and a latte. Staff was friendly and the vibe was relaxing and quiet. Would come back again!

This place does an outstanding latte breve. Kind people, excellent choice of jazz music. A great, open vibe. I like it! Right across from our hotel.

cora coffee is criminally underrated. every drink is so thoughtfully curated. from the beans they use to the seasonal syrups they make in house. i consistently feel like i snuck a piece of heaven down on earth every time i go here.

They use real matcha, answered my request for half oat milk/half water without any hesitation, and filled my personal cup. It tastes delicious and wonderful service. Also calm and quiet atmosphere that invites to stay. I’ll be back 💛

Business was left unstaffed Friday at 11:39 am. No one making drinks, no one at the cash register. Door unlocked. Upon bringing this up, the “general manager” proceeded to go off on me. Definitely think there’s racial motivations for her extreme reaction. If you are someone of color I would NOT feel safe here.
She told me to post this on social media further proving to me it is racially motivated. So here I am posting :-).
PS: chocolate fish is around the corner and they are VERY inclusive.

The espresso drinks (third-wave style) were made to a high standard. The staff is friendly, the place is beautiful and inviting, and I love the restaurant annex situation in the back that you can take your coffee to.
The three stars are for the $7 cortado. I work in the industry and have coffee around the world in some of the most expensive cities. This is not a $7 cortado. It was, alas, delicious.
Black Coffee is terrible. For frame of reference when I’m at home I like my Great Value Donut Store K-Kups. Just black with nothing added. On this occasion I was in the area from out of town and unfortunately could not find a McDonald’s, Dunkin, or even a Starbucks nearby for my morning coffee. Cora got good reviews but IMO it must be from folks ordering candy-bar type coffees. Just black was an unfortunate combination of tastelessness and bitterness. Not sure when it was brewed but it was poured out of a carafe that had been sitting on the counter for who knows how long. To add insult to injury, I noticed that the cashier added a $1 “au lait” surcharge even though I just ordered the coffee black. $6.52 out the door.

Really cute spot. I ordered a flower child (jasmine tea with cardamom rose and lavender syrup, plus oat milk) and it was absolutely delicious. It came super fast and the baristas were friendly.

I’ve only been here once but it was a pleasant experience! The coffee shop is by the capital slightly tucked away inside big building but their cute sign outside welcomes you in. The inside is spacious and has lots of light from the big windows with a decent amount of seating if you wanted to sit and sip or even work on stuff at the tables.
My friends and I all got iced strawberry matchas and they were tasty! I like that the strawberry flavor wasn’t super intense but complimented the matcha. I’m on the hunt for my go to matcha place and I’m going to have to come back to try their other variations and a regular matcha. Very cute retro decor going on too. The worker was really nice when we went and it was very slow.
