Amazing drinks and atmosphere! They have a great space for working from there but the internet is just too slow if there is more than a few people on the wifi at a time. Really wanted to use this spot for meeting up with friends to co-work but the internet is too slow for that purpose. Loved the drinks and will be back for that tho.

Great little coffee spot in Curtis Park. Love their Turkish Coffee, Pistachio Latte, honey bites, baklava etc. Plus their open late, and their big windows and lights illuminate a very dark corner. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood! And the owner, Azziz (sp?) Is avry cool guy.

Qisa is such a neighborhood gem ☺️ We’re lucky to have so many great coffee shops in Sacramento, but Qisa offers something truly unique to the city with its delicious drinks and eats, interesting community events, and general vibe.

I’ve been there several times both as a grab and go on my lunch break, and with friends to hang out for a bit, a these are my impressions:

— ✨The baristas are welcoming and friendly, and consistently make delicious, well-balanced drinks.

— ☀️ There’s lots of natural light, and with its chic/cozy leather seats, it feels like a place you can hang out for a while (there’s always folks there both meeting with friends and using the space to get some caffeinated work done). The outdoor patio also offers a spacious, nicely-decorated place to sit.

— 🧹The cafe consistently looks well-maintained and clean.

— ☕️Their drinks bring in flavor profiles of the Middle East as well as east Asia and the West. For drinks, try one of their “Experience” drinks with cardamom, or their Ube Matcha. Or just get a solid cup of drip coffee 😁

— 🍴Their food offers delights I want to put into my face every day. Try their spiced chicken wrap or pistachio cake. Or both 👀

— 🎉 I still need to make it to one of their community nights, but with henna and cake decorating as past events, it seems like there will be more fun things on the horizon.

— 💕 This last note is a little cheesy, but with how crazy the world feels right now, it’s nice to have this coffee shop in the neighborhood celebrating the many good things that come from having a diverse community.

I signed up as a monthly member, and hope to experience Qisa for many years as a neighborhood staple 😁

Coffee and pastries are delicious! The Qisa latte is my new favorite drink (cardamom flavored), and they do decaf and non-dairy options too. Friendly staff, great atmosphere.

Good coffee kind service and chill atmosphere. My daughter has soccer practice across the street so I like to sneak over get a banana latte and it’s always made perfectly. My daughter loves matcha and swears they make it better here than Starbucks so it’s got 5 stars for me as far as flavor!! However I don’t like that I’m spending $8 for a small matcha or one coffee.. that’s the only crazy part.. $35+ for two drinks and bread is wild. but other then that I enjoy coming here once in a while and I guess you do get what you pay for right?

First time there. Dude behind the counter could not have been more helpful. Ordered a Cappuccino. This was probably the best Cappuccino I have ever had. I think the big chain that everyone goes to is to mechanical and impersonal. This place everyone there was just chilllin. It is on my Maps on my phone now.

I have studied here a few times and I’ve tried their cold brew and iced matcha so far, both are consistently great. Usually my issue with coffee shops is that their drinks vary with the taste based on who’s making it and such. The employees are very friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the seating area outside and in is very comfortable. There is sofa seating where you can charge your devices. There is wifi and the huge plus is that they are open late!

Qisa Coffee is a truly delightful café. Its location is very welcoming and easy to access, with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making it a great spot to relax, study, or meet friends.

What makes Qisa stand out is its menu of unique, well-crafted drinks. The pistachio latte, Qisa latte, and rose latte are often praised for their flavor and balance. 
They also serve Turkish / Yemeni-inspired coffees and teas (like Karak chai) that appeal to those seeking something different.

This is the best place. Iced pistachio latte is amazing. If black coffee is more your thing then they have Turkish coffee which hits the spot when I'm feeling that. The baked good are tasty. Chicken roll is my go to. And the staff is awesome! All are friendly. Plus the place has a laid back vibe.
