Crema's Take
“18 Grams excels with straightforward, quality espresso drinks and an impressive matcha program, though their specialty creations can be hit-or-miss depending on execution. The space is genuinely designed for lingering—solid WiFi, plenty of outlets, and a relaxed vibe that works equally well for focused laptop sessions or casual hangouts. Recent management changes seem to have affected consistency, so you might want to stick with their core coffees and teas rather than betting on the rotating specials.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi. Parking available.

I got the Ube cookie, latte, and longanisa burrito. Crinkle cookie was exactly what I needed. Lavender latte was really great The burrito was great but a little burn on the top layer of the tortilla. Still amazing. Only thing: The parking lot can get packed, depending on the…
Great coffee and tea but doesn't have many food options compared to the other location near Arden. Adequate amount of seatings with electrical outlets and WiFi for customers. For introverts, there's a self-service kiosk to order your stuff.
Stopped by 18 Gram Coffee and had their black dark brew — it was bold, smooth, and full of flavor. Great spot for anyone who enjoys a quality cup of coffee without the extras. The vibe was relaxed, and the service was friendly. Definitely a place I’d come back to for a solid…
So this place used to be my favorite coffee shop in Elk Grove, but I think it recently underwent new management? The coffee went from us getting an extra drink because it was just so good to the last two times tasting so burnt and almost undrinkable. Wait time on a Saturday…
