Pachamama Coffee
3644 J St, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“This spacious Sacramento gem prioritizes quality espresso and creative specialty drinks like their celebrated purple haze matcha latte, sourcing fair trade, farmer-direct beans that pack real flavor into every cup. Whether you're grabbing a bold cappuccino on your way out or settling in with your laptop for an afternoon, the bright, welcoming space and genuinely friendly baristas make it feel less like a transaction and more like discovering a neighborhood favorite. Fair warning: they skip the pastries entirely to focus on what they do best—exceptional coffee and tea—so come with that expectation in mind.”

They do not serve food. Only coffee and tea drinks, whole beans. The coffee is absolutely some of the best. Fair trade. Great quality. Great quick friendly service. They offer dairy alternatives as well.
Tried Pachamama on a Sunday morning. The space is big, bright, and very family-friendly with plenty of seating. I had a blueberry matcha latte that was delicious, but the pastry situation was disappointing—only a cheddar chive scone left at 10:30am, and it wasn’t great. The outdoor area had a lot of flies (and a couple inside too), which took away from the experience. Overall, great drinks and space.
Stopped in on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The cappuccino was bold and flavorful — no weak brew here. If you prefer your coffee with a kick, this is your place. The barista was friendly and clearly knew what he was doing. It looks like they roast their own beans (there’s even a roaster inside), and the aroma hits you the moment you walk in. The shop is unpretentious — simple design, clean layout, and a peaceful atmosphere where you can think, relax, or even get some work done. What I loved: • Intense, high-quality coffee • Quiet and not crowded • Self-roasted beans • Quick service Don’t expect pastries or a trendy setup — but do expect good coffee and peace of mind.
Farmer sourced coffee! I ordered the purple Haze matcha latte! **DELIGHTFUL***. Big area to sit and work on my laptop! Stayed for 15-20 minutes. And it was quiet and enjoyable. Also bought coffee beans to nei f back with me! Love the packaging and detail!
We wanted to try a new local coffee shop and I am so glad we found this place! The atmosphere was amazing as well as the customers service. The place is clean and feels very welcoming. I wished I lived closer to frequent them more. I will definitely be back on the weekends!
