Temple Coffee Roasters
1010 9th St, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“Temple Coffee Roasters is a genuinely people-focused espresso bar where the quality extends beyond the cup—they invest in their staff with training and health insurance, which customers clearly appreciate. The pour overs and lattes are expertly crafted from their own carefully roasted beans, and the relaxed, quiet atmosphere makes it equally welcoming for a solo work session or a family road trip with young kids in tow.”

Local coffee in a quiet and relaxed vibe. Temple takes care of their employees and covers training and health insurance for them. I can support that for sure! The pour over coffee was great- I think personally I prefer a latte but I appreciate the taste and care put in the preparation. Erwin the barista was super helpful talking with my partner about doing pour over at home.
I normally don’t post reviews but we had such a good experience I needed to! My husband and 2 kids (2 & 4 years old) stopped by for coffee & breakfast while road tripping & staying the night in Sacramento. The baristas were all extremely friendly & the coffee & pastries were super yummy. I went to use the restroom & a barista saw me & came right behind me to happily open the door with her key. Then a bit later my husband went to use the restroom & she saw him & came right behind him to open the door (didn’t even have to ask!). My kids were going a little crazy (toddler energy on a road trip😅) & we didn’t feel judged & always met with smiles which is nice 😂 Plus they happily gave our kids small cups of waters with lids AND on the way out gave my kids a toy. Honestly I was floored at how friendly & a great experience our little coffee break was. Thank you Temple Coffee! Making finding nice coffee shops even with littles a great experience 💕
Temple Coffee Roasters in Sacramento serves some of the best coffee around. Mine had been perfectly roasted and brewed every time I've visited. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a nice spot to unwind or get some work done, and the variety of seating is good alone or larger parties. Parking can be challenging, and it does get busy during peak hours, but the exceptional coffee and welcoming vibe make it worth the effort. A great stop for coffee lovers in Sacramento!
Another quality Temple coffee location! Great coffee, perfect hot chocolate, and pastries. I really enjoy their lattes, and I've gotten coffee beans from them before. The coffee beans make great gifts, and sometimes there are promotions for their swag as well. Always orderly, and the staff are super friendly and patient. I always see the same baristas, and the lack of change says a lot about the work atmosphere here. You can tell when a barista is new, but the staff here have done coffee for years. The inside is typical, sits about 25 comfortably and there are always folks studying, meeting, and enjoying coffee since this is close to many of the Capital buildings. I just like the vibe and I can see why it's popular. The DT area is not the safest, but if you come in the day/afternoon- you'll get great coffee and excellent service. Enjoy!
This is one of the smaller Temple locations, but it’s exactly what you’d expect if you’ve been to any of the others. Temple is super consistent in both their coffee and their staff. The drinks are solid, not amazing, but definitely better than average. The vibe here matches the rest of their cafes. Friendly but with that slightly condescending “we take our coffee very seriously” attitude. It’s not rude, just very on-brand for Temple. Not really my style, but many people who think they are into coffee love it. The space is clean, minimal, and a nice place to hang out for a bit. The pastry selection was a little limited compared to their larger locations. On the exterior it’s a bit more downtown than Midtown, so it’s not the most scenic spot, but it works. Overall, it’s a good stop for a consistently well made coffee and a calm atmosphere. Just don’t expect much warmth or conversation with your cappuccino.
