Cora Coffee — Restaurant in Sacramento

Updated review: I ended up frequenting this cafe quite often. I really enjoy their pumpkin spice latte as well as their muffins. It isn't too sweet so it pairs really well with the cofffee. Additionally, the nice latte art always makes my day. I also tried their drip coffee; pretty decent!

I've been back for laptop work days twice now. I had my ladies Cafe Cowork Sacramento meetup here too. Great space. Super friendly staff. Good cold drinks and coffee. I LOVE that bike parking is right in the front window so I don't worry about my bici.

1st visit: I tried the Cutie matcha strawberry milk drink. Great--and I don't usually like matcha TBH. Super friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and it seems like a solid place to work on a laptop. I'll...

Black Coffee is terrible. For frame of reference when I’m at home I like my Great Value Donut Store K-Kups. Just black with nothing added. On this occasion I was in the area from out of town and unfortunately could not find a McDonald’s, Dunkin, or even a Starbucks nearby for my morning coffee. Cora got good reviews but IMO it must be from folks ordering candy-bar type coffees. Just black was an unfortunate combination of tastelessness and bitterness. Not sure when it was brewed but it was poured out of a carafe that had been sitting on the counter for who knows how long. To add insult to injury, I noticed that the cashier added a $1 “au lait” surcharge even though I just ordered the coffee black. $6.52...
