"Very relaxed/laid back cafe that is perfect for chatting with friends, socializing with other customers, or even studying/reading. The place is right on the corner of 14th and E but from the outside doesn’t look as lively as it is inside. They have seating at the bar, in front of the big windows (where you get to see the beautiful trees), some booths, tables, and couches! There’s a pool table and they have tvs playing shows. The staff were very nice and explained the drink options and provided recommendations. We sampled the Bali tea both regular and with syrup. It is a bitter tea so beware if that’s not your thing but the syrups help it taste better. Personally I liked the bitter flavor mixed with the syrup. My friend ordered a lavender latte and I order the matcha latte. When asked what level of sweet I wanted between 1-10 I asked for a 7 and it was honesty on the spot and perfect. We didn’t try any food. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area."

"I moved to Sacramento recently and have been checking out every coffee spot. I saw the reviews and came to check it out. This place is great in my opinion. Check it out yourself. I notice the bad reviews come from a bullying point of view and have nothing to do with the cafe itself"

"A small group of writers have been meeting at 6pm at Shine for conversation, but it's very loud here. They play music, and there's people playing pool. The Roobios tea is good, and good tables. I just wish we could find somewhere quieter."

"I came to see this place because my child started to disappear there often! And teenagers won't be drawn to a place where everything is legal and good. The tea needs to be sent for examination to make sure it's not some new addictive drug! the atmosphere of this cafe = teenagers who want to hang out, smoke, be cool. what kind of tea do they serve there, what is the composition of this tea, raises a big question??? since tea is usually a glass, a tea cup and not a 1 liter bottle. this is not a store but a cafe!"

"I just walked in and sat at the bar. I stayed long enough to see the person "working" pick his nose while watching football. He didn't even turn away from the screen when he saw me sit down to order so I left."
