Qisa Coffee

Great coffee and wonderful vibe! Perfect spot to get some work done or enjoy a treat with a friend.

I have studied here a few times and I’ve tried their cold brew and iced matcha so far, both are consistently great. Usually my issue with coffee shops is that their drinks vary with the taste based on who’s making it and such. The employees are very friendly and welcoming. The vibe of the seating area outside and in is very comfortable. There is sofa seating where you can charge your devices. There is wifi and the huge plus is that they are open late!

I have no idea why I have not visited this amazing coffee shop before, it's one of my favorite now! The pastries and cheesecakes (they had the most delicious Dubai Chocolate flavor ever), great coffee options, and in a very well set up and fun roomy setting inside ans ours. It was late afternoon and the sun is setting behind the building so no direct sunlight and you can enjoy your outdoor drink in a very comfortable setting. A must visit even if you're from out of town and want a quick drink to go, or if you have time to spare and hang out inside. Parking isn't too bad, and a few other things to do to go for a walk etc. in the nice neighborhood after.

I have been going to Qissa coffee for 6 months, its time to write a long over due . A quiet spot in East Sacramento that's perfect for working, coffee meet ups, or grabbing good coffee on the go. The KARAK CHAI here is my favorite, but the Pistachio Latte is something extra special for a treat. Keep an eye out for seasonal coffee and tea drinks, they are always tasty and original. The owner Aziz is super friendly and welcoming.

I recently discovered this place and have been visiting it regularly. The banana matcha is my favorite, but everything on the menu is delicious. The pastries are also very tasty. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. It’s only about a 3-minute drive from my house, so I’ll definitely be a regular.

Absolutely love this coffee shop! The drinks are consistently great, the pastries are fresh, and the staff is always welcoming. It’s become my favorite spot to relax and recharge.

Turkish coffee and music with an awesome staff. Food is authentic and a good variety. Haf a great date with my wife and I loved it.

Quaint neighborhood coffee shop that combines authentic flavors of Yemeni coffee with the essence of Peshawari tradition. The cardamom coffee is a must have along with the honey bite, a cream cheese pastry drizzled with honey

Lila McNiff

Really great cardamom latte. I also got a chicken roll which was very satisfying! Servers were very sweet.

The drinks and food are very tasty and pretty on par with most other Sac cafes in terms of cost. I have to say my favorite part of Qisa is the owner. He is a wonderful person willing to give to community organizations and work with groups who need catering for events! Definitely recommend Qisa not just for your new favorite cafe to visit and drink your chai or coffee, but also for catering!

I was told about Qisa a few weeks ago. It's a very unique coffee house that serves Yemeni inspired coffee. You can also get an old favorite of mine, Turkish coffee. We had an iced Turkish coffee and it was perfect. The chai was definitely a cut above and not your run of the mill yeah we server it Chai. It was artisanal quality.... They offer deli style foods such as chicken rolls and cheese layers. Top it off with some baklava and you're set.... As a bonus they have usb and usbc power outlets. In a time where coffee houses are blocking off power ports this is a nice touch. Give them a shot and I guarantee they'll be high on your list to return to.....

Qisa is such a neighborhood gem ☺️ We’re lucky to have so many great coffee shops in Sacramento, but Qisa offers something truly unique to the city with its delicious drinks and eats, interesting community events, and general vibe. I’ve been there several times both as a grab and go on my lunch break, and with friends to hang out for a bit, a these are my impressions: — ✨The baristas are welcoming and friendly, and consistently make delicious, well-balanced drinks. — ☀️ There’s lots of natural light, and with its chic/cozy leather seats, it feels like a place you can hang out for a while (there’s always folks there both meeting with friends and using the space to get some caffeinated work done). The outdoor patio also offers a spacious, nicely-decorated place to sit. — 🧹The cafe consistently looks well-maintained and clean. — ☕️Their drinks bring in flavor profiles of the Middle East as well as east Asia and the West. For drinks, try one of their “Experience” drinks with cardamom, or their Ube Matcha. Or just get a solid cup of drip coffee 😁 — 🍴Their food offers delights I want to put into my face every day. Try their spiced chicken wrap or pistachio cake. Or both 👀 — 🎉 I still need to make it to one of their community nights, but with henna and cake decorating as past events, it seems like there will be more fun things on the horizon. — 💕 This last note is a little cheesy, but with how crazy the world feels right now, it’s nice to have this coffee shop in the neighborhood celebrating the many good things that come from having a diverse community. I signed up as a monthly member, and hope to experience Qisa for many years as a neighborhood staple 😁

Qisa is such a neighborhood gem! They are very sweet, the coffee hits the spot, and there are ample outlets if you need a place to work. The chicken roll is pretty tasty, but the star used to be something in their case labeled cheesy layers. The latter disappear off the menu—here's my petition to bring it back! Even without the cheesy layers, Qisa is 5/5.

Qisa latte is rich and comforting, infused with herbs that add depth without overpowering the coffee. It pairs beautifully with their baklava, which they warm up on request—adding an extra layer of coziness and care to the experience. They also offer a Turkish coffee experience, complete with beautifully designed Turkish pots set on an elegant, candle-lit warmer. It’s clearly meant to be shared, something I’d love to return for with another person. The space is as warm as the coffee itself. The customer service feels genuine and welcoming, making the whole visit feel personal rather than transactional. Truly a hidden Turkish delight and a heart-warming place to be.

The latte here is always perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of foam. The shop itself is cozy, and the staff is friendly. It’s my go-to spot for a caffeine fix and a little quiet time.

Qisa Coffee is a truly delightful café. Its location is very welcoming and easy to access, with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The ambiance is cozy and modern, making it a great spot to relax, study, or meet friends. What makes Qisa stand out is its menu of unique, well-crafted drinks. The pistachio latte, Qisa latte, and rose latte are often praised for their flavor and balance.  They also serve Turkish / Yemeni-inspired coffees and teas (like Karak chai) that appeal to those seeking something different.

This is the best place. Iced pistachio latte is amazing. If black coffee is more your thing then they have Turkish coffee which hits the spot when I'm feeling that. The baked good are tasty. Chicken roll is my go to. And the staff is awesome! All are friendly. Plus the place has a laid back vibe.

I had a wonderful experience at Qisa coffee shop! The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I tried their signature Chai which exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their menu. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great coffee in a comfortable setting. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Good coffee, small space, enough for a quick cup of coffee and a pastry. Honey bread, not particularly my favorite. The honey is good, bread isn't and definitely not worth $8.

I had the Qisa latte. It was pretty good. Not much in the way of vegan. Definitely no snacks. But apparently for the non vegans they have a great meal deal of a latte and a snack for $10! Not too shabby.

The pistachio iced drink I ordered was ok nothing to rave about. The beans are not my favorite for a coffee drink but the pistachio was quality. My sister order the Qisa latte and she liked it. The flavor was creamy and just right amount of coffee to flavor. Service was great, both baristas were patient and friendly in their service and I’d definitely visit again for their Qisa latte and service!

Great service and ambiance, but disappointing coffee. The most important thing needed in a cafe. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff is friendly, but the coffee really missed the mark. Both the iced Turkish coffee and the matcha latte were overly sweet and diluted with too much ice, leaving them almost flavorless. This spot might work if you’re looking for a place to hang out for a few hours in Sacramento, but not if you’re here for quality coffee.

They are the worst neighbors. They make so much noise super early, especially on the weekends. Who power washes the seating area at 6am on a Sunday, seems like something you could do during the week. Don't they know they have neighbors. Seriously. They also stay open till real late with music, noise ordinance says you have to be quit from 10pm to 6am during the week and 10pm to 7am on the weekends. No respect. Why I never buy anything there.
