Temple Coffee — Restaurant in Folsom

My first time going to Temple Coffee in this location, and I went to the register to order, the barista yelled at me in front of other customers to go behind a gentleman that was at the end of the counter, whom I had just asked if he was ready to order and he said no go ahead of me. I proceeded to order my drink at the register that’s when she yelled at me, not spoke to me in a professional manner but yelled at me. The coffee shop was full, every seat was taken. It was very embarrassing. I instructed her about my conversation with the gentleman Yet she told me to go back behind the gentleman to order and by that time three other people had showed up into the establishment. And the gentleman said no go ahead and order, I’m not ready. Then she in a disgruntled manner took my order, while looking down in a condescending way. The cashier was making small talk, being polite because it was clear the barista was being rude. On my way out, another customer commented how rude the barista was, and that I should make a complaint, so here I am. I could’ve went to any coffee place in the area but I wanted to try this one. I work at Mercy Folsom Hospital and we frequently make coffee runs. Suffice to say, I will be discouraging my peers from coming to this establishment based on the rudeness that I experienced. No call for it at all. The Coffee was good.The experience, not so much. I will not be...

If you’re after a solid cup of coffee, Temple in Folsom delivers. Their brews are smooth, rich, and made with care—exactly what you’d expect from a place that takes coffee seriously. If you stay in, they serve it in a real mug, which is a nice touch.

The space itself has a sleek, modern aesthetic, with plenty of seating inside and a nice outdoor patio if you want some fresh air. But inside? It can feel a little stuffy. With the college just a block away, there’s a definite laptop culture—rows of people locked into their screens, barely a murmur of conversation. If you're looking for a warm, cozy coffee shop where the baristas chat you up and regulars strike up conversations, this isn't really that vibe. The customer service is efficient but not particularly welcoming—not rude, just… indifferent.

That said, if you’re into high-quality coffee, a clean modern space, and a focused atmosphere, Temple is a great choice. They also sell swag and coffee accessories, so you can grab some beans or gear if you’re a fan. Just don’t expect the warm, bustling energy of a neighborhood café—it’s more of a polished, no-nonsense spot for serious coffee drinkers and...

The atmosphere is very aesthetically pleasing, modern and clean. I was immediately enticed by the bowls of hipster catnip on display: gold, motel-style metal keychains with different numbers! I looked for 666 (disappointing my parents is a lifelong goal) but settled for 996 as a testament to my dyscalculia.

The coffee is what I expect from a place that focuses on quality and properly roasted whole beans. While they do offer lattes and seasonal flavored drinks, this is not a palette swap of Starbucks or Dutch Brothers. If you enjoy lighter roasts and being able to taste your coffee, you will probably have a great time here. If not, kindly respect the drip and move along.

Weekends can be a little crowded, so if you plan to linger you may want to arrive early. The employees have always been very kind and helpful, even when I stand there staring at the menu like it's the first one I've ever seen in my life. Pastries were bomb, too - I had some sort of chocolate-y donut at the Davis location and it went great with...
