Shift Coffee House
1616 Del Paso Blvd, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Uptown Sacramento, this spot has mastered the art of pairing exceptional coffee with creative gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches—think brisket with perfectly melted cheese pull and peanut bacon cheddar varieties that keep regulars coming back. The friendly staff and neat, welcoming interior make it ideal for meetings or casual hangouts, whether you're sipping a standout lavender iced latte or bugatti latte with your sandwich. It's a genuine neighborhood gem where both the coffee and kitchen deserve attention, with an easygoing vibe that invites you to linger.”

Shift Coffee Shop is an absolute gem. Their grilled cheese sandwiches are outstanding—perfectly crispy and toasted on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with cheese that delivers an impressive, arm-length cheese pull. Clearly made with care and quality ingredients. We tried the Firehouse and BayArea Brisket Sandwich which I was expecting to have more meat though. It was equally good nonetheless. Tomato soup is great as well. Perfect for pairing with the grilled cheese sandwich or on its own. The chai latte is excellent—rich, well-spiced, and not overly sweet—and the coffee is equally impressive: smooth, flavorful, and consistently well-crafted. Whether you are stopping by for comfort food, a great latte, or a solid cup of coffee, Shift Coffee Shop delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended.
Super good sandwiches! I will be back for those. The dark chocolate mocha was pretty bad, I would try something else next time. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the interior was neat.
Been hearing about this place awhile and just now experienced this gem in Uptown Sacramento aka Old North Sacramento for a meeting. Brisket grilled cheese is a slam dunk! No BBQ sauce needed! Paired with a delicious flat white (was prettier when I first got it, I added stevia then tried me best to recreate the beauty) brewed with NAKED ☕ coffee your can't go wrong! We also had the tomato soup which we just couldn't stop taking about (sorry no photo). Patio areas, and vibin' music to boot! Best to park on the right side, exit thru the alley.
Peanut baccon and cheddar grilled cheese with all the cheese pull! Outside seating for pups, and the coffee was phenomenal. Loved the lavender iced latte n the Bugatti latte!
So good! They specialize in a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches and coffee. Everything on the menu looks amazing! We each got something different, so we could sample a few different sandwiches. The coffee was fabulous too. We will definitely be back!
