They have Dak and Sey! I got a cortado, my friends got a flat white and sproton. All tasty! The avocado toast was really good too

Scorpio in Midtown is definitely a cool spot, but it comes with some trade-offs. I’d tried to go a couple of times before and walked away because of the long line both inside and out. Third time was the charm. We happened to pass by on a Monday, no line, and grabbed the last table outside. The outdoor seating was honestly the biggest downside. The table looked like it hadn’t been wiped down in a while, and the planter next to us had food scraps and trash in it, which attracted a lot of flies. Sitting there wasn’t the most comfortable experience. Inside, the ordering area feels cramped and chaotic. The line would flow better if it ran in another direction, and given how busy they are, they really need at least two cashiers. That said, the food and coffee were excellent. We ordered the avocado toast, pumpkin spice latte, mushroom bread, and oatmeal. everything was beautifully presented and delicious. The vibe overall is fun and modern, though the staff isn’t particularly friendly. It has that “we’re popular so we don’t have to try too hard” energy, which some people love for the exclusivity, but it’s not really my thing. In short: great coffee, great food, cool atmosphere, but crowded, a bit unfriendly, and the outdoor seating area could use more care. I’m still giving this place 5 stars. It might not be my cup of tea, but it’s gonna work for other people.

Scorpio Coffee in downtown Sacramento completely surprised me. The space is gorgeous, modern, and designed so well, with plenty of options to sit—some private, some outdoors, even stand-up bars that give it a cool, flexible vibe. The coffee was excellent. I went with their light to medium roast, fruity and balanced, and it instantly reminded me of the coffee I loved in Barcelona. The baristas are outstanding, with milk texture that’s spot on. The müsli was incredible, with fresh fruit, berries, peach, and super crisp granola. Honestly one of the most delicious things I’ve had in a café. I was blown away by the whole experience. Between the coffee, food, vibe, and service, this is easily one of my new favorite spots in Sacramento and one I’d highly recommend—it’s absolutely worth a detour if you’re anywhere near downtown.

I received the most joyful, patient welcome here. The staff is truly a delight. When I had to make a sudden change from Eat In to To Go, they pivoted effortlessly and were so kindly accommodating. The mushroom toast is distinct: marvelously savory, a tasty blend of shrooms, enhanced in protein by an egg. The touch of heat sprinkled on top elevates the flavor. Definitely a repeatable one.

Scorpio stings—and I like it. Call me kinky. Scorpio’s drinks are brewed with precision. And with roasters like DAK and Sey in the mix, you’re sipping from a bean lineup that could headline Coachella. But where Scorpio really struts is the signature drink lineup. The Matcha Cream Soda? Iconic. I gasped. I sipped. I ordered another. And don’t pass on the food. The Strawberry Miso Toast with fresh ricotta and honey? Weird and wonderful—like if Björk were a brunch item. And the Mushroom Toast? A moody little masterpiece crowned with that sexy onsen egg. Total main character energy. Yes, the prices can make your wallet clench, and the portions...well, this ain't Costco. But the quality? Elevated. The ingredients? Thoughtful. The dietary labels? Clearer than your ex’s intentions. Veg-heads, gluten-free girlies, and oat milk lovers—you’re covered. The staff is sweet. The vibe? Chic Japandi minimalism. The comfort level? Somewhere between "Instagrammable" and "glad I have my chiropractor on speed dial." And unless you’re dining duo-style, good luck scoring a table—this place was clearly designed by someone who hates group projects. All tea, no shade—Scorpio Coffee brings something special to Sacramento’s coffee scene, and I am absolutely here for it. You should be too. Just maybe don’t come with a crowd. 😉 How I break down my ⭐️ reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥
