REVIEW – Nomlas Cafe
With the recent closing of Drip in Midtown, Sacramento, I was on the hunt for another independently-owned coffee shop in town. Today, I struck pay dirt not just in town, but in my own backyard, with Nomlas Cafe.
They’ve been open since September of 2023, and they’re tucked away at the end of the strip mall that’s across the street from Raley’s on Folsom, in east Sacramento.
The menu is small but mighty, and it includes the richest, most flavorful mocha I’ve had in years. The caramel macchicato is really good, as well, and isn’t as overwhelmingly sweet as many I’ve had.
I also checked out one of their excellent blueberry muffins, which they tell me they get daily from a local bakery.
Caution: If decaf is your thing, you might want to pick another place. The Jamaicans at Nomlas Cafe don’t have a decaf option, and are unapologetically serving some delicious, high octane coffee!
The place also has a huge, beautiful dining room / social space in back, and they feature a free reggae band on Saturdays, starting at 7pm.
Stop by sometime soon, mon!
