Cute little coffee shop right off the freeway. Coffee and espresso are great but the real star is the pastry pop-ups by PastryCat. Her canelé are life changing. She always adds unique flavors to her pastries like miso brown butter cookies and roasted strawberry almond croissants.

I would give more than 5 stars if I can. You taste the quality and craftsmanship of their food and drinks. Their kitchen menu items are traditional and comfortable dishes taken to another level with a twist or inspiration from other cultures. And I also wanna acknowledge they have the best matcha latte I’ve had so far. The decor is so clean but modern. It’s just a nice place to be in.

Was in town for a couple days and tried this place based on "the top ten coffee shops in Sacramento" article. The description was a Japanese influenced coffee shop with silky smooth drinks. Ordered a cafe latte. Yes the (oat) milk was silky smooth but the espresso was bitter. It was pretty loud considering I went at a fairly quiet time in the morning. Staff was nice. They had a pop-up of sorts going on so I was a little confused about where to go at first. Plus half awake. Thankfully they noticed my confusion and pointed me in the right direction. The place was nice but kind of sterile. Minimalism gone cold. I don't remember what I paid but I did expect something larger than a double cappuccino cup. And I mean double cappuccino before everyone started making them like cafe lattes. I dunno. It just seemed like another hipster hyped okay place with a shiny exterior.

Atmosphere is upbeat and really modern and clean. I got a specialty coffee, iced, which was really good it had rose and lavender in it. It was refreshing but not as strong as I normally like it. Cashier said they only put two shots of espresso in each drink. Seen this on YouTube by an influencer who recommended it.

Favorite coffee shop in sacramento since moving here. Consistent pours from their baristas everytime, delicious and unique food, and an atmosphere that doesn't feel extremely loud and overhyped. The service is also excellent.

Forget the Coffee come here for the distilled water. I’ve never had a more smoother, almost creamy glass of water at a coffee shop then here at Scorpio. There was no weird mineral taste, just pure H2 freaking O. The temperature was a cozy mouth temperature: not too hot, not too cold. Plus the glass ware is thin, fits comfortably in hand, and provides the perfect vessel for the ultimate sipping experience.

Seriously the best latte I've had in years! Also, the mushroom toast is straight up evil. Finished that even before the coffee. The shop had a nice ambience with friendly baristas with lots of tasty bites. Oh, almost forgot about the chocolate chip walnut cookies.just as good as grandma's, if not better.

The coffees and toasts that I had here were nothing short of AMAZING! The service was exemplary! This place is definitely worth the pretty pennies you'll spend here. Many return visits from ME are in Scorpio Coffee's future!

Such a fun café! They have their standard coffee menu but have some specialty drinks that are a lot of fun too.

I absolutely love their coffee, their shop, their staff. Scorpio is one of the best in Sacramento.

Scorpio is less a coffee house and more of an eclectic cafe. Pretty cool food lineup and they whip out a great mocha. I had the Apple and Ricotta Honey Toast.

Immaculate vibe and terrific baristas. They probably make the best oat milk latte in Sac. Hojicha latte is great, too. The food is delicious and changes seasonally. Chocolate chip walnut cookie is a must.

The Ochazuke was worth trying! Friendly service and comfortable atmosphere- would come back again!

Rude staff, did not meet expectations. The “Japanese toast” was just regular avocado toast with sesame seeds.

The aesthetic of the place was really nice but I was really disappointed with the lattes. Im an avid coffee drinker and this was not good coffee

The Lox Toast at Scorpio Coffee in Sacramento, CA is a refreshing and unique take on the classic breakfast dish. The toast is made with a freshly baked sourdough bread, and is topped with a generous portion of lox, cream cheese, and a variety of fresh greens. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, with the smoky lox, creamy cream cheese and the fresh greens working together perfectly. The dish is also presented beautifully, making it a pleasure to look at as well as to taste.

What makes this dish stand out is its unique combination of flavors and textures, the lox and cream cheese are a classic pairing but the addition of the fresh greens adds a refreshing crunch and a burst of freshness to the dish. The dish is also very flavorful, with the lox and cream cheese providing a rich and satisfying taste, while the greens add a bright and fresh note.

Overall, the Lox Toast at Scorpio Coffee in Sacramento, CA is a delicious and unique dish that offers a refreshing twist on a classic breakfast item. It's a must-try for anyone looking for a flavorful and satisfying breakfast option.

Vibes were immaculate. Their card system was down and I didn't have any cash on me. I was offered a cup of coffee on the house, which was very nice of them. Card system then went back online and I was able to try their mushroom toast. Delicious. Perfect spot for a Scorpio like me

Friendly, knowledgeable staff who love to talk the trade and make amazing walnut chocolate chunk cookies. Maybe even the best I’ve ever had. The only downside was that I needed to share with my wife.

Busy even on a mid-Tuesday morning! Perhaps not the best for getting your work or studying done (everyone is involved in lively cultural discussions it seems) unless you can snag the snug little cubby left of the checkout stand, but so fun. Definitely a prime example of those mod Asian cafes you would see along city streets in Taiwan and Japan. Hojicha latte is a star on the menu with those nutty, toasted rice notes and a matcha reminiscent velvet texture.
