Venus
1188 35th Ave, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“Venus is a family-owned Sacramento gem that pairs consistently excellent lattes with some seriously crave-worthy empanadas—their chicken tinga with chimichurri and the "Bad Bunny" are standouts that keep regulars coming back. The airy, open space makes it perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries with friends or family, though heads up that there's no wifi if you're planning to work. It's the kind of place that gets your morning off to a great start with warm, thoughtful service and the kind of pastries and food that actually taste homemade.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Updated review from 9/15/2024: Barrio has made a lot of changes recently and is now called Venus. They seem to no longer have any of their breakfast sandwiches or bagels, and at least in the morning seem to be focusing on pastries and empanadas. We got 4 empanadas that were…
I’ve been going to barrios for about a year now and I’ll say its definitely worth a try. It’s very hit or miss. Some days they serve delicious coffees and breakfast treats, and some days they just don’t. Recently I went with my friends and we got food and drinks, it was amazing!…
