Went here to go to Season's Coffee Shop to meet a client for coffee! Absolutely Beautiful! My coffee was delicious and they allowed me to create my own vegetarian meal which was absolutely delicious! 😋 I even left with some gel pens for one of my co-workers.

I bring my daughter to CLARA twice a week. She takes French class one day and Irish dance the next. What a friendly place to spend my time! The cafe is so quaint and cozy and there is just an artsy feel to the whole building. You hear bands practicing, language lessons in action, scripts being read for the theatre, ballet practices and Irish dance all happening at the same time. I highly recommend stopping in for a coffee or signing up for a class

CLARA is such a gem in this community. I am amazed by the talent housed in this historic building. We have been students at the McKeever School of Irish Dance and adore coming here for classes. We have enjoyed productions of the Sac Ballet. We look forward to delicious treats at Seasons Coffee. Our daughter has loved attending the CLARA summer camp each year and enjoys learning new arts and skills by the dedicated pros and teachers who make the arts education so welcoming.

I have attended many events at CLARA, an arts organization in a renovated historical building in Midtown Sacramento. I first started attending an event called "Creative Mornings (a breakfast speaker series for creatives (and everyone else)) and subsequently fell in love with the auditorium space in which these events were housed. Over the years, I've attended workshops, performances, luncheons, dance circles and much more. I became connected with CLARA and learned about its arts education and cultural programming mission. The organization offers below-market rent to multiple performing arts groups and creates job opportunities for teaching artists. (Did you know the Sacramento Ballet has its performance spaces at CLARA?!) Recently, Season's Coffee Roasters opened the cutest cafe within the space. Definitely stop by for a cup of coffee or tea and learn about the various arts organizations that call CLARA home.
