Scorpio Coffee

What a breathe of fresh air this coffee shop has brought to Sacramento!! You can tell that so much love, meticulous planning and effort has gone into making Scorpio coffee what it is. They offer amazing coffee, single origin and retail beans from carefully selected roasters across the country. They offer amazing quality tea and housemade food offerings as well. Sam (the owner) has been in the coffee industry for many years as a barista, trainer and more. The opening of Scorpio definitely provides inspiration and encouragement for anyone in the local coffee community wishing to open up their own shop one day. Thank you for blessing Sacramento with amazing coffee!

The ethiopian coffee was delicious—and it was drip! Maybe next time I'll see if they offer pour over. Service was great, fast, friendly. The only downside was having to wait outside a few minutes while the inside cleared of patrons (safety first!), but overall it was a good experience.

I had their greek yogurt parfait and a coffee. They were both excellent. Phil's closed at 3pm so I rushed to Scorpio's before they closed at 4pm.
AND THEY HAD A NY TIMES SUNDAY PAPER FOR THEIR PATRONS!
(It looked untouched when I arrived at about 3:10 sunday...)

Decent coffee and friendly service. Pricey and not too many options. The food preparer wore no gloves which I found odd.

Super cute new spot in Sac! We got a latte and and Americano and there coffee was super earthy and not acidic like most other local shops. I’m a black coffee drinker so I think this might be my new favorite.

We also got the avocado toast and the tuna toast. Wouldn’t normally order Tuna toast for breakfast but I am SOOO happy my partner ordered it and I got to try. It was INCREDIBLE. A must try when you’re there! Avocado toast was incredible too! Already ready to go back!

Local Sam Balean, barista champion and industry leader, recently opened a new cafe in Sacramento featuring the top "fourth-wave roasters" in the area, a sophisticated tea list, including some very rare Matcha selections, and a small kitchen outputting some healthy fare to pair with your drinks.

With beautiful architecture and state of the art espresso equipment from La Marzocco, Scorpio will quickly ascend to the top of the "Must see lists in Sacramento" and "top cafes in the World". I had to wait twenty minutes yesterday and was not disappointed with the service, atmosphere, or quality after driving an hour and a half.

Full disclosure, I've worked in coffee for years so I'm a nerd about it. I ordered a shot of espresso and a pear toast. While I waited for my order I browsed their very cute merch and enjoyed the ⚓sea shanties⛵ on the radio. The Ethiopian single origin was dreamy - tasted like sweet orange blossom with a soft lemon zest finish. The overall vibe of this shop is just like a Scorpio - seems intimidating at first, but is actually really chill and funny and full of sensual wonders once you get to know them. Because of who I am as a person I went back in to try the Ecuadorian espresso, which was also yummy. Full mouthfeel, notes of dates and smooth milk chocolate. I'm actually glad I live on the other end of town because otherwise I'd probably spend too much here.

Clean and friendly staff however ...I got a peppermint hot chocolate and my daughter got a peppermint mocha and we were not impressed ☹️ I could barely taste the chocolate or the peppermint the mocha also tasted very bland. The cost was on the high end for a very small cup. We were celebrating my daughter's 1/2 birthday with a 1/2 of a cup of coffee.

Scorpio is one of my favorite coffee shops. They always have great service, unique pastries, and good coffee flavors. This place is a must visit, great experience in general.

Ambiance is great here. The coffee is delicious. Highly recommend the chai latte it is fantastic. Great bites to eat with your beverage.
