I live so close but have avoided stopping in due to the line. My boyfriend and I decided to see what the hype was about and I’m so glad we did! The line was worth the wait for us. We had the breakfast tacos, tamales (pork) and vanilla iced lattes or brown sugar lattes. All of it was fresh, delicious and flavorful. We are already talking about the next menu item we want to try next when we return. Recommend! 🙂

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Came here to do some work and it was packed! Despite that I was still able to find space to sit down and work, and to enjoy my food with no rush. Plenty of outlets in the work designated areas on the weekends. Definitely recommend! Adding the chorizo to the toast was 100% worth it and the concha was perfection, fluffy & perfectly sweet.

For my vegan people, there’s not much options BUT I’ve customized their avocado toast to be more fun and obviously vegan friendly. I get the avocado toast no egg, and I either add tomatoes or get a side of pico de Gallo, and a side of their mushrooms no feta! It’s SO good and the mushrooms are seasoned perfectly. They also have chili oil that I drizzle on top. The coffee isn’t my favorite but I am picky so nothing against them just not my fav. I go back often for the toast tho 🙂

This bustling Mexican-inspired café in Midtown is the weekend vibe—think L.A. café energy with hella Sacramento charm. It’s cute, crowded, and just the right amount of chaotic.
Don’t be scared by the line or the open seating—finding a spot is easier than it looks. The staff? Super friendly and ready to help, even when it’s poppin’.
Now the food: Fresh, flavorful, and fun. The plates come solo (no sides), and while they may look small, they’re sneaky-filling. Most dishes bring some heat, and yes, I almost went for the Chilaquiles… but Breakfast Tacos are rare in Sac and theirs slap. I swapped the chorizo for guac—#noregrets.
Drinks take a beat, but food comes to you. And with every dish I saw float by, I added another item to my “next time” list.
I had the Matcha Latte and cucumber-lime Agua Fresca—lightly sweet, super refreshing, and perfect for this Sacramento heat. ☀️
How I break down my ⭐️ reviews:
1 – Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. ️
2 – Meh. Maybe if I’m close, and high.
3 – Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. ♀️
4 – Hella solid. Planning my next visit.
5 – Shut up! Take my money. Om Nom Nom.

Loved the food. The Tamal and concha were amazing. I had a toast that was definitely far sweeter than I had expected. It was luxurious but sweet. I was expecting something a bit more savory but it was seriously good. The concha had sesame seeds and I can’t remember exactly what the flavor was but omg it was good. They also made a very good cappuccino. Look forward to my next visit.

Their Iced Matcha Lattes are goated. Service is quick and easy. Even with a line it moves pretty fast. Apparently Nathan Fielder was spotted here randomly lmao

Unassuming, warm, sharp, with no signage sits on a corner of a neighborhood adjacent to downtown Sacramento La Costa, a café with great and very idiosyncratic food options. Ceviches that will please all demographics and latitudes, tartines that are savory and sweet, salmon tartare, heirloom burrata and the wild mushrooms loaded with maitake, shitake and hen of the woods.
If this did not interested you, the outstanding COMIDA section is for the ones who align with the “if you know, you know” mentality. Moletes and Guajolotas that you can load up with chicharrón or chorizo.
My partner has the eye of an eagle when it comes down to finding this amazing spots around the country and the world but if you happen to live here or if you are in town, do yourself a favor and stop by

Strong contender for the title of most aggravating restaurant (they call themselves a coffee shop, but let’s be real here) in Sacramento. The food and coffee are both very good but the experience of actually sitting down and eating at La Costa is waaaaaay more frustrating than it needs to be. The open seating policy doesn’t work because people camp at tables for hours while others wait for a table to open up, but La Costa will happily take your money for a dine-in food order even if they don’t have any seating available.
La Costa ought to acknowledge that they’re a brunch restaurant, not a coffee shop. As currently construed, there is always a long line and tons of people standing around hoping to grab a table while other patrons occupy tables with their laptops for 3 hours. I get that they want to have a chill no rules atmosphere but they’re a victim of their own success in that respect. They’re just far too busy for open seating. Several times I’ve received my food with nowhere to sit while a bunch of tables are taken up by people who finished their food several hours ago and are now just working on their laptops. Plus, even if you ordered a half hour ago, already have your food, and are still waiting for a table, if someone who is just rolling up happens to be closer to that table when it becomes available, they get that table. So, of course, what ends up happening is, if you are lucky enough to get a seat while it’s busy, you’re going to half a dozen patrons waiting for a seat watching you like hawks, standing too close to your table, etc.
So, instead of actually dealing with the fact that they are a small restaurants with only so many tables and a high demand for their food, they have settled on a business model where they’ll happily take your money for food and beverages but you might have to stand up in the middle of the restaurant with no table to eat at.
If they actually had a service staff trying to turn tables, this place would be five stars, but, even though I live around the block, this place is a hard never again, unless they wake up and change their model. As is, the experience of eating in is so annoying that it’s not worth trying.

First time at this place. We got the concha strawberry. Matcha green tea. Iced oat milk brown sugar coffee. Cucumber lime Agua fresco. Pan de elite. Chicharrone with lime. The customer service was great very helpful in talking about the items. The atmosphere was cozy and quaint welcoming

Excellent food. The Peruvian ceviche is my favorite! Drinks are good, nice atmosphere, good location, free and easy-to-find parking, and friendly staff. Just beware, it can get really crowded with a line out the door!
Update: Just tried the avocado toast today. So good! Great garlic taste! Matcha is excellent! Mushroom toast amazing too!
