Review of Pivot Coffee
Pivot Coffee is a unique cafe and coffee roastery located at 1430 28th St, Sacramento, CA 95816. This industrial-chic, open-concept coffeehouse is known for its airy interior and intricate brews. With a large corner building and huge front, back, and side patio seating, Pivot Coffee offers plenty of space for customers to relax and enjoy their coffee.
The interior of Pivot Coffee is both artistic and inviting, featuring custom furniture throughout. The industrial-style design creates a cool and trendy atmosphere that appeals to coffee lovers and creatives alike. The staff at Pivot Coffee are known for their kindness and knowledge about coffee, different beans, and roasting techniques.
When it comes to the coffee itself, Pivot Coffee does not disappoint. The coffee is well roasted and delicious, with a variety of options to choose from. Whether you prefer a classic cappuccino, an iced white mocha, or a matcha latte, Pivot Coffee has you covered. They also offer a high-quality coffee bar menu with a simplified drink menu, making it easier for customers to choose and decide.
In addition to their excellent coffee, Pivot Coffee also offers a wonderful selection of pastries. Customers rave about the kouign amann and apricot cream cheese Danish, which are both highly recommended. The pastry selection is diverse and pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.
Pivot Coffee is open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day of the week. The hours provide ample time for customers to stop by and enjoy a quick coffee or tea. However, some customers have expressed a desire for the coffee shop to stay open a bit later.

Nice little coffee house. Decor and atmosphere were great. Very friendly staff. Simplified drink menu, which make it easier to choose and decide. Wonderful pastry selection. Environmentally friendly packaging. Glass plates and drinking glasses. Iced White Mocha and Coffee Cake were devine! ❤️

My wife and I went in at 1:20 to order coffee drinks and pastries. The girl at the counter told us they had to be to go orders only bc they close at 2 and are cleaning during that time. We went there for the experience of drinking coffee and hanging out at a cool place. Not to get told that it’s to go only with 50 minutes till closing. That’s not customer friendly. All you’re trying to do is save money by not paying your employees after closing time to do cleanup at the customers expense. We left and went to Temple and had a great experience. Sorry Pivot, you blew it. Also, Temple is open all day.

the owner is very knowledgable about coffee, different beans, roasting techniques, etc. my iced latte was a Guatemalan single origin, medium roast, and was spot on for a Guatemalan (mild flavored, not acidic, some chocolate and caramel flavor notes, etc.). I was very impressed by the modest prices of their whole bean bags, both 12 oz. and 5 lb., which were a good 25% cheaper than competing high end coffee spots anywhere in the U.S., including local roasters like Temple Coffee, etc.
the venue itself was also a cool, industrial style design, lots of room to work on a computer, etc., roomy, not at all cramped or crowded.

The coffee was good but thirty minutes before closing time the barista said no to my request for a ceramic rather than a paper cup, when all the other patrons in the shop had ceramic cups. For a six dollar oat milk latte (before tip) it didn’t seem like too much to ask. :(

For those who missed this, what was Pivot is under new ownership as of a few months ago. Current hrs weekday to 2p (recently until noon) looking to go later soon. Weekends until 4p. New / different coffees from previous ownership.

My husband and I travel the country full time. Our favorite thing to do in our travels is visit local coffee shops. Let me tell you, Pivot is now in our top 5!
I am a matcha drinker and my iced matcha was delicious! Not too sweet and full of yummy matcha flavor. It is so hard to find a good matcha latte. And this was just the way I like it!
My husband likes chocolately, sweet coffee drinks and our Barista, Madi, surprised him with a tuxedo mocha. It was rich and full of delicious chocolate goodness! He said it was superb!
Not only were the drinks amazing but the atmosphere inside was also fabulous! The wood benches warmed up the industrial space. It was an inviting and comfortable place to enjoy our beverages.

Great coffee. Pastries were really good. Lots of space to work / read etc. I suggest they improve the inside to look a little nicer. I recommend they add a really nice sign saying pivot behind the coffee bar.

When in SAC from out of town, I was looking for a local coffee spot off the beaten Starbucks trail. Not only did Pivot deliver in spades a true coffee shop appeal, but raised the bar with fantastic drinks, good and service. Highly recommended!

Really good coffee, lots of space, doesn't have that pretentious "look at me I'm working from the coffeeshop in super hip cothes" vibe. Outdoor and front patio are really nice, and after sitting at those big slabs of timber I'll never be able to go back to normal sized desk again

Delicious cappuccino and almond croissant. Cool place but the music was too loud to have a conversation with the business associate I met there.
