Nichim Cafe & Boutique - Foothills — Restaurant in Fortuna Foothills

There are not enough stars to rate this Cafe. We'll above 5 stars in all categories. The drinks are perfect, food outstanding, but the people and environment are amazing and refreshing. Such great service and attitude. This morning I got a white mocha frappe with an extra shot, morning but all the folks seemed happy to be there at work, very inviting and personable staff. I went back for Italian Sandwich and Moca iced coffee. As I sat there waiting for my drink and sandwich it was truly nice to observe the staff, different from the morning, seemingly also happy to be there, very friendly and welcoming. As other customers came in, was an open environment where everyone was talking with eachother. The sandwich was simply amazing on toasted bread just to perfection to give it the little crunch that I like. I could taste the fresh spinach, the cheese and meat perfectly proportioned for an excellent taste, with the mix of Garlic Aioli. This is a little treasure out in...

The shop was cute and had a nice, typical coffee shop feel.

The prices, though, were a bit too high for me. I payed $8.80 for a 20 oz latte with Almond & Caramel flavor & regular milk. Sorry to the barista for not leaving a tip, but I was unwilling to pay $9.00 for a latte that size.

That’s the highest I’ve payed for a latte anywhere in town. I ‘m still wondering if there is something in their lattes that’s worthy of paying that amount. I saw a sign stating the coffee was organic, so maybe that’s why.

Regardless, the latte was not worth the price. The espresso used in the latte tasted a bit bad. It was bland and tasted a bit old. Maybe something in the espresso machine had to be adjusted, not entirely sure. Definitely regret paying that high of a price for a mediocre latte.

In the end, I appreciated the nice service from the barista - young guy, didn’t get his name - and the cute interior of the cafe. I probably won’t be back due to the prices and quality...

It was my first time visiting, I went with a friend. I ordered a smoothie, she ordered a matcha. The smoothie tasted bad, not in a concerning way, just that it had no flavor and had a bad after taste. I ended up paying $8.50 for a smoothie that I tried REALLY hard to like, gave a couple more sips trying to let it win me over, despite me knowing from the first sip that it tasted bad, and yet i couldn't bring myself to drink any more, I threw it away. My friend also agreed that their matcha tasted bad, which is a shame as I know they had been craving matcha for a while... With that being said, the customer service was good, and the ambiance in the shop is so nice. The boutique has cute items as well. If you like coffee, don't let this review discourage you from dropping by and give the cafe a try, as this review is only pertaining one smoothie and matcha ordered, which may not be their...
