Burnside Coffee Bar

Great vibe drew me in, and there were plenty of unique coffee blends (all natural) to choose from. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and Mylo the therapy dog was a sweet addition. The brie and apple sandwich might be one of the best things I've ever eaten.

Hands down my favorite coffee spot in Sacramento. This is a true "slow bar"—meaning no robots, just humans making incredible coffee by hand. The texture and flavor of the Cortado is consistently perfect, the new flavors are out of this world. I never knew coffee could taste this good! The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and passionate about what they do. The food is absolutely phenomenal as well, not to mention the amazing sauces! Don't be in a rush; just go and enjoy the process. Highly recommend, 10/10!

A friend and I had seen this coffee bar pop up on our Instagram reels and decided to check it out on March 18th around 10:45 a.m. The space was definitely fun and whimsical to be in. Looking at some of the pictures I posted there's a lot of art installations, interactive spaceship control board, and a multitude of things to capture your eye around the bar. The owner greeted us when we walked in and asked if it was our first time in his coffee bar. We told him yes and he gave us the rundown of the menu and what were some of the more popular items that people chose. We ended up getting the galactic sauce latte, El scorcho, two of the mini breakfast sandwiches, and the pulled pork sandwich. The coffee's came out first and you can see a video that I included with this review of the owner shaking them by hand for us which was super cool. Both coffees had amazing flavor and each time you took a sip you could taste a different flavor profile within them. We really enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches because the roasted garlic aioli combined with the pickled red onions just really brought the entire sandwich together. Each bite was delicious and had the perfect amount of sweet savory spicy and a little fatty. The pulled pork sandwich also had amazing flavor it had a good amount of the pork itself within the sandwich. The one thing to call out and this is more for informational purposes because it has the fermented Koji hot sauce the pickled red onions the garlic slaw and mustard it is a lot of acidic flavor on the pulled pork. Now I do like a vinegar / acidic taste to my pulled pork and I didn't enhance my sandwich by asking for a little bit of a sweetener like a jam to help mellow out the acidity that was on the sandwich. Again it is extremely delicious it's just for information if you're not a big fan of like vinegar or like acid-based sauces just be mindful of that. Also in general the space is very inviting there were at least four additional people that came in after us and then a group of two and each of them was doing some type of work at a table. And it was really nice and amazing to see that the owner greeted everyone knew a few of them by name and it was definitely clear to see that he had created a place where people felt comfortable. So highly recommend you check this place out and I will definitely be going back to try the other items on the menu.

Great espresso cafe experience. Go before the kitchen closes at 2P. They’re espresso proud here, so def focus on beans and roasts. Drop the Starbucks conditioning and focus on the basics - outstanding espresso. Live a little and try some new flavors. Lots of space to relax and hang awhile, including a patio area that has some separation from the street. A pair of 12oz lattes were ~$25

Visiting from San Diego and came across this gem! The live music brought us in. The coffee was delicious, food was fresh, and we really enjoyed the concept! 😊 This is a breath of fresh air- support local! ❤️
