If you are fan of grilled cheese get ready to get your hands dirty! We got one After School Special (Make your own grilled cheese) and one Midtown Morning for breakfast to go. Both were delicious! While picking up the order I must say I really like the atmosphere in the cafe and the people were really nice so definitely will also dine-in. You can work or study inside the cafe like any other coffee shop but also admire the decoration and their speciality drinks! Service was quick and very friendly, thanks for all!
I meant to write this a little while ago. Came here for a coffee and lunch. I ordered the Divine Order sandwich and a La Mora mocha. It was so good! Service was pretty good except the ticket for my drink did get lost but they quickly made up for it. The vibe of the place was really chill and the decor was amazing!
Fast Cat Coffee - A Hidden Gem in Carmichael! Stopped by Fast Cat Coffee and had a great experience! I ordered the Hot Chick sandwich, a spicy grilled chicken and cheese sandwich that was packed with flavor, and paired it with the Bugatti Breve Latte, recommended by the cashier. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions despite the limited inventory. The cook also went above and beyond to make everything happen--really nice guy! My husband got the almond milk latte, which he loved. We split the sandwich and the house-made tomato soup, which was slightly sweet but paired perfectly with the sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. The café itself is cozy and clean, with tables for two and window seating. The coffee and breakfast were spot-on. If you're ever in Carmichael, definitely give this place a try!
Lively coffee shop that serves up some really good grilled cheese (but fancy) sandwiches. We shared the Divine order sandwich which had chicken breast, garlic jack and fontina cheeses. Very good mild flavor. I plan to try the hot chick next time which has spicier ingredients. The sandwiches are generous in size and big enough to share. I also tried the superleggera which was a honey latte with a ton of flavor. I will get this drink again for sure. I got The Hog and one of the Harry potter drink concoctions to go and the hubby loved both. The baristas were very sweet and service was quick despite the shop being packed. I'm glad this shop is in my neighborhood.
Yelped this spot after hunger hit, not familiar with the area. Glad we came! This is an obvious coffee spot, you'll see folks with books/laptops sipping on their large emotional support beverage. But you'll also smell their grilled cheese sandwiches. My son and I ordered their breakfast sandwich and then a "make your own" grilled cheese..,and of course we each had a cup of their tomato bisque. Their tomato bisque is absolutely one of the best i've had. There's a little graininess to the consistency - like fresh parmesan, which made it memorable. The sourdough bread was cooked perfectly; the right crunch/toast without being burnt. 1/2 a sandwich with the soup was plenty for one meal. Would definitely come back!
This is a local coffee shop with friendly faces. Their coffee is served extremely hot (great as I've noticed some places serve a warm-hot cup with how busy they are) They have unique flavors and the theme is fun (car, petrol station)
WOW! I was immediately blown away by the vintage charm of this coffee shop. They have a whole menu of coffee and a whole menu of gourmet grilled cheeses. I dropped in on a Saturday morning so it was a bit too early for me to eat a grilled cheese but their menu is intriguing so I will return for that. The staff is very friendly and I was so surprised at how amazing the coffee was. I ordered a Superleggera Espresso and steamed almond milk with sinner spice which is a combination of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and cocoa powder and sweetened with honey. They offer a 16oz - (2 shots) or large (20oz - 4 shots). I do not like overly sweet coffee so this was absolutely perfect and the spice gave it a sweet kick. I love everything about this place and will definitely be returning.
Who doesn't like coffee and a grilled cheese sandwich? Well if you're looking for a place that has both, Fast Cat Coffee is the spot for you. My boyfriend and I stopped by on Sunday for breakfast before 9 am. There were a bunch of people here already which was a great sign for the food/drinks. We were greeted by who I believe is the owner and she was extremely friendly! We ordered The Hog and Wake Up in Guanajuato. For coffee, I got the Superleggera with whole milk and my boyfriend got the Bugatti Breve Latte. The Hog was my favorite out of the two sandwiches. I really liked how all the different meats complimented each other while providing different flavors. I also loved the texture difference with having the cheese on the outside of the sandwich. The Wake Up in Guanajuato was a good sandwich too. I'd definitely recommend asking for the salsa on the side as we did. It kept the sandwich from getting soggy or wet. It just wasn't my favorite, I don't think a "breakfast" sandwich is my thing. Coffee was decent. When I asked if I could substitute the almond milk in the Superleggera with 2% I thought it was cool they could do half whole and half nonfat. I never thought of this before nor been given that option before, so I really appreciated that. To make it less complicated I just went with whole milk. The coffee was a tad bit on the watery side for me and didn't have a strong enough coffee/espresso taste, so that was a let down. Out of the two coffees, I'd say the Bugatti Breve Latte was the better one. It was more creamy and more flavor. Overall, really great service and good food! Also if you like the whole biker vibe, this place is perfect for you. It's really cool to see all the different artwork and pieces here.
I've always heard of Fast Cat Coffee but haven't been yet. Decided to come by and do some work since the weather was hot. When I first walked in I was greeted by the barista and I decided to order the Iced Bugatti Breve Latte & Custard Scone. I ordered the Bugatti because I notice on Yelp that it was popular and now I know why. The drink tasted amazing! It was the perfect amount of sweetness as well. Perfectly paired with my pastry. I was surprised how moist the pastry was. If I lived closer this would be my to go to spot to get some work done. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some coffee and some good pastries!
Stopped by the Fast Cat Coffee shop on my way to a buddies and it did not disappoint. I was greeted right away and handed a menu I explained to the cook tattooed girl that I was gonna be a pain in the ass and not look at the menu and just tell her what I want. And what she gave me might have been the most delicious coffee contraption I ever did experience. It was a simple toffee nut latte and it was to die for. I really think there was crack in because as soon as I was done I wanted another. And now whenever I'm in that area I will be stopping at this rad place instead of my local Starbucks. The ambiance also hella cool it gives off vintage motorcycle shop vibes and seeing as I am a moto rider my self I am a sucker for these kinda shops. So cool the whole damn experience.
