The State Grind

This small, cozy coffee spot serves up some darn good lattes and mochas. It's in a newish building nestled among office buildings in downtown Sacramento. It's not a destination coffee place but serves its purpose of catering to the downtown " 9 to 5 ers". The hours are Monday - Friday 7am-2pm. (Btw my photo captions are Google AI self generated, I went with it) The staff are polite and helpful providing sincere customer service. Did I mention...they make some darn mean delicious coffee drinks. It's worthwhile to repeat. The pastries and bagels are ok, not housemade. I go mainly for the coffee drinks. There are a few tables and chairs to sit a spell and enjoy your drink. The ceiling to floor window provides a view to the goings on outside. A bit of light entertainment.

Door says they are open until 2pm Monday through Friday. Showed up before 2 on Friday and they were closed.

The nice barista with the glasses makes a delicious iced white chocolate caramel mocha!! I love that she steamed the milk for my ice drink. It made it so creamy and delicious. It was perfect.

Best coffee in the area. Clean, quick service, affordable, and several pastry options. When pastries get delivered they are excellent, sometimes you're just getting Costco croissants/muffins, which are fine.

I work nearby and come here for an occasional coffee or bite to eat. The food they offer is not made there, just warmed up so it's nothing fancy but its satisfying for the moment. I've only had a latte and a brewed coffee, both were fine, nothing crazy. They're pretty fast in getting you what you order. There's a place to sit if you'd like to relax for a bit. I'll try an iced beverage next time.
