Trio Coffee House — Restaurant in Quartz Hill

The Coffee Shop Formerly Known as Sage Brush: A Birthday Letdown with Potential

As a Quartz Hill local (just down from Trio 👋), I was excited to try the newly revamped coffee shop that took over the beloved Sage Brush Café. I even took the day off for my birthday and made this my first stop—with my book in hand and wallet ready to support a small biz. Unfortunately, this place has some major identity crisis vibes.

Let’s start with the good: ✅ Staff was friendly and attentive. ✅ Prices were reasonable. ✅ Food was solid—I’d give it a 6.5/10, which isn’t bad for a light breakfast stop.

Now… the vibe. Oh, the vibe.

The old charm? Gone. The cozy garden that used to shield you from wind, traffic, and existential dread? Gone. In its place is… a sad, open lot with a red-and-white color scheme that screams “We sell Marlboro Reds and Monster Energy drinks” more than “Come sip a latte and read your sad girl novel.” It’s giving out-of-business gas station energy. Zero rizz. None. Nada.

I’m not here to tear down a new small business—Quartz Hill doesn’t have many places to gather, and I want this shop to succeed. But community matters. We were rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! Bring back the warm, inviting atmosphere. Add a little magic. Some charm. A cozy nook. Literally anywhere to sit that doesn’t feel like waiting for an oil change.

For now, this won’t be my go-to café, but I’m rooting for a glow-up. I’ll check back again someday in the future, ideally when the vibe matches the effort the...

I’m writing this review after making several trips to their locations in the AV and the SFV and inconsistent is the first word that comes to mind. Their drinks are typically way too sweet, whether it’s their seasonal drinks or their standard drinks. I like they give a good amount of options every season but inconsistency is the main thing that prevents me from giving them a better rating.

I really like the atmosphere in their new location in Canoga Park and the original one in Palmdale is nice too. The one in Quartz is a whole different story unfortunately. The outside of this place reminds of the B-2 Market & Liquor store on Ave R and 10th St E in Palmdale painted in white. The place lost all its charm that Sage Brush brought and I understand this a completely different set of owners but I feel they could have done a better job with the ambiance of the place. The inside feels sterile and un inviting while the whole patio was demolished and covered it up with some asphalt which was a big downgrade. Hopefully they decide to use that space later on for a patio or at least...

I want to say I’m so happy that we still have a little coffee shop to go to here in quartz hill butttt today I walked in and there wasn’t anyone in line just people waiting I wants really acknowledged just stood there a couple minutes, I ordered my Spanish latte and a pastrami baguette both are amazing and taste great wait time is alittle long but I get they just opened so that’s not a problem but the lack of friendliness or overall welcoming vibes put me off alittle yesterday the cashier that was there around 11 she was smiling and very welcoming… the actual coffee shop is still very plain … now the reason I didn’t give it more stars .. I saw an employee making drink's for their social media content I believe she was sitting in a corner with a a camera and red hair 2 drinks I saw her pour down the drain … Being a new buisness and also having the whole line out the door you would think she would pour some in mini cups and offer samples instead of dumping it down the drain I was also in her way and she rushed so fast past me with a low excuse me it’s pretty...
