Crema's Take
“Tucked into midtown Sacramento at 16th and N, this neighborhood roastery strikes that rare balance between a serious espresso and pour-over destination and a genuinely welcoming third space where you can linger for hours. The coffee itself has real character—reviewers consistently praise the nutty depth and thoughtful roasting that lets each bean's flavor shine, whether you're ordering a traditional cappuccino or exploring their specialty drinks. It's the kind of place that feels distinctly local and unhurried, where attentive staff and a calm, buzzing atmosphere make it easy to understand why people keep calling it a hidden gem.”

Very cozy coffee shop in mid town . Parking was easy on a Tuesday morning. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The vibe is good. I got a cappuccino I believe, or one of their nice drinks. It was good. Coffee flavor was nice and smooth. They roast their own beans! And the machines are on display.
Today I found myself at Anchor & Tree (AT), a lovely neighborhood coffee roaster in midtown Sacramento. AT is what you might expect buying local, friendly and welcoming with a buzz of activity. I ordered my usual, a cappuccino, a bit dry, in a mug. If nothing else, I’m consistent. However, you can’t help but notice the very modern looking roaster towards the back of AT. As I wanted to experience the roasting and pull without compromise, I ordered a shot of espresso and an almond croissant to round things out. Immediately upon tasting the espresso I noticed AT’s roast was unique to any other roast I’ve sampled. I understood it to be a light roast that packed a punch. While I generally prefer a dark roast, my traveling companion found the espresso quite delicious. The cappuccino carries this flavor forward very well, and the barista was very good about leaning on the dry side. Although the craft required additional practice, I could see she genuinely wanted to deliver a well made cappuccino. What I found very interesting, it appears that AT can roast smaller batches, perhaps more crafted to a buyers liking. Once ordered and ready, AT had an automated kiosks for order pick up. I’ve traveled coffee shops around the globe and seeing this was a first for me. Should you find yourself in Sacramento, I encourage you to stop by Anchor & Tree. Sit down and enjoy the atmosphere and the coffee. Enjoy
Anchor & Tree Coffee House at 16th and N in Sacramento is truly something special. The coffee is beautifully roasted with a nutty depth and just the right amount of flavor depending on what you order. You can immediately tell they don't rely on excessive sweetness to mask mediocre beans, the quality of the coffee stands on its own. I ordered the hot masala chai with espresso and an iced pistachio latte, and both were outstanding. Balanced, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted, nothing overpowering, just really good coffee done right. What made this stop unforgettable, though, was the service. Lexi was an absolute gem. Her patience, kindness, and genuine customer care were top-notch. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and was warm and conversational while making the drinks, which really shows her skill and confidence. For me, the heart of any coffee shop is service with a smile and Lexi delivered service with heart and soul. I'm so glad I stopped by on my way back to San Diego, and this will absolutely be a must-visit spot every time I'm back in Sacramento. Highly recommend!
Anchor Tree is unique and you won’t find something else like this in Sacramento if not your own home. If you want genuinely delicious coffee, straight up - this is the spot. Their beans make a solid cup of quality coffee and for a gift that shows you care. Unique drink menu if you want something different, kind service that answered all of our questions, and the best black coffee we’ve had in the Sac area as we visited twice during our holiday stay. Will definitely be coming back! 🤎
🌿 Anchor & Tree Coffee Roasting Co – Sacramento, CA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a lovely hidden gem in Sacramento! 🌟 We stopped by for coffee — our first time here — and immediately felt the calm and cozy vibe of the place. It’s peaceful and welcoming, a perfect spot to pause in the middle of the city buzz. One thing that really caught our attention was the large, unique coffee machine in the back. I’m not sure exactly what it does — maybe it roasts, cleans, or processes the beans — but it definitely adds a special charm and gives the place an authentic feel. There are big bags of coffee beans stacked nearby, which makes it feel like you’re inside a true roasting house. ☕ The coffee itself was delicious, rich and flavorful — you can really taste the quality. You can sit comfortably at one of the tables or lounge on the cozy sofa. A sweet bonus — there’s a cute little photo zone just to the right when you walk in. Two woven chairs, perfect for couples or friends to snap a pic together. 📸 Definitely recommend visiting this cafe — it’s got charm, character, and most importantly — good coffee. 😊☕ R E C O M M E N D 💯 (Лично мой)
