A Guide to Elk Grove Coffee Shops

18 Grams Coffee & Tea

Near and dear to the heart of town, 18 Grams is one of the most aesthetically gifted coffee shops in Elk Grove, given its live edge wooden tabletops, plush banquette seating, absolutely gorgeous wall mural, exposed brick walls, vibrant plants, bomb breakfast burritos, scrumptious pastries, and tantalizing aroma of house-roasted java. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this sophisticated abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, and solo study sessions.

Rescate Coffee

Conveniently located just off I-5, Rescate offers guests a cozy atmosphere underscored by rustic wood-paneled walls, comfy armchairs, earnestly stocked bookshelves, a fireplace, and amenities for a productive day. The heart-warming decor serves as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious coffee beverages made using beans that have been diligently roasted on-site. Moreover, with select purchases, Rescate donates a portion of sales to local pet rescues, disadvantaged youth, and city-wide community programs.

Vinhouse Tea & Coffee

Snuggled amongst the storefronts lining an unassuming strip mall on Sheldon Road, Vinhouse treats visitors to a dreamy boho ambiance featuring warm earthy tones set against minimalistic white brick walls, wooden floorboards, chic furnishings, vibrant plants, and speedy WiFi. The friendly folks behind the counter maintain a tempting selection of coffee beverages, milk teas, nutritious smoothies, refreshing fruit teas, and delectable desserts.

Xulo Coffee Bar

Whether you’d like to settle into a cozy corner and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, grab some scrumptious Mexican bread for that special somebody on your way home, or enjoy a specialty Dulce de Leche Latte, whatever the case may be, Xulo has got you covered.

Coffee Spot Co.

What this adorable drive-through and walk-up cottage situated on one breezy Elk Grove Blvd corner may lack in size, it more than makes up for with wholesome hospitality, photogenic appeal, efficient service that’ll have you back on the road and headed toward your final destination in no time, and last but certainly not least, exceptional coffee drinks.

Peet’s Coffee

Nestled in a bustling shopping center, Peet’s maintains a reliable work and gathering environment that boasts tables to sit down at and stay awhile, there’s also a lovely terrace shaded by umbrellas. The founder, Alfred Peet, wasn’t trying to start a coffee revolution when he set up shop in Berkeley back in 1966. He just thought Americans deserved a real cup of coffee.

Five decades later, his lone store has blossomed into 200, each holding true to his vision: sourcing directly from the world’s finest estates, hand roasting to order in small batches, and making sure every cup is brewed as fresh and full-flavored as possible.

Dutch Bros Coffee

Founded in Southern Oregon in 1992 by dairy farmer brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, Dutch Bros. Coffee is the country’s largest privately held, drive-thru coffee company. For those java purists bewildered that I could include as large a chain as Dutch on this list of Elk Grove coffee shops, please remember, they’re not very common elsewhere in the United States, so for visitors or newcomers, this energy-rich oasis in the sun will undoubtedly prove a sweet treat.

From early mornings to late nights, some heavenly beverages you may spot being served out of their pull-up window include specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, freezes, teas, and Blue Rebel energy drinks that customers can infuse with their favorite flavors.

Every cup of Dutch Bros. coffee is handcrafted – roasted by hand in the Pacific Northwest, blended by hand, and then ground and pulled by hand, ristretto-style. One more observation worth noting, their employees are relentlessly kind, attentive, and cheerful, at all times, never failing to look like they’re having the moment of their lives while on shift; super fun vibes.
