Barrio Downtown
1230 N St Ste 204, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“Barrio Downtown is a spirited corner café where expertly pulled espresso meets creative house signatures like their celebrated churro coffee, all served in a welcoming, dog-friendly space that feels like a neighborhood gathering spot. Beyond the coffee, their homemade empanadas and cinnamon roll pastries are worth the visit alone, and the team clearly treats every regular and first-timer with genuine warmth. It's the kind of place where coffee snobs and casual caffeine seekers alike feel at home, though fair warning: you'll probably wish they were open on weekends.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

So happy this place is back open! Fantastic customer service, homemade empanadas and really good coffee. I’m a coffee snob and drink black Americanos - Barrio’s espresso is delicious and smooth! Love the Vietnamese Nitro and Churro Latte as well!
