Shine Kava – Reviews, photos, menu, opening hours Claimed

This is a nice place. I came here to hear local artist Katie Knipp perform a few Friday nights ago and really enjoyed myself. The ladies working the counter were very friendly and the performance, well, WOW. Katie was incredible. I sure hope Shine books her again because I’ll be back if so, even though I live clear across town.

I live less than 2 minutes walk from the location, and eat there constantly, as well as have the occasional beer from the tap. (I recommend the nutty brown) The atmosphere is hipster without the usual arrogance that accompanies it. No one …

One of the few genuine, independent, unpretentious coffee shops left in midtown. This is my favorite. If True Love was still around Shine would be a close second as both were the perfect mix of relaxing and chill and friendly and eclectic and not faux eclectic as is the case at many coffee shops that try to hard to be kitschy.

I ❤️ Shine. The staff is friendly, the coffee is hot and tasty, and they even have delicious salads! The space is comfortable, and there is a variety of seating to choose from. …

Shine has been a solid coffee shop/cafe/live venue for the last several years. It’s changed owners a couple times, but with each new iteration comes a better version of the space. As of now, they’ve great food, coffee and tea drinks, beer and wine, lovely staff, and one of the last good open mics in town.

I came here for a Meetup on a rainy Saturday afternoon. The exterior had an older feel but the interior is much different. Welcoming, eclectic vibe inside. Comfy furniture and plenty of seating! I hate it when coffee shops don’t have enough seats. I had a rooibos chai tea latte. Soooo good.

Great staff, good music, and chai lattes. This is great neighborhood spot. They make some pretty great food as well.

An open, fun cafe tucked away into the neighborhood north of downtown Sacramento. They serve coffee along with a menu of breakfast and lunch items. I got their California Dreamin’ sandwich and was not disappointed. Their coffee is good and …

This is by far my newest most favorite spot in Sacramento and the reason for that is because of their KAVA!❤️
It truly does provide euphoric sensations. I am now working on how to prepare this tea myself because its effects were so damn good!

Shine is a great place! They have lots of seating and its a nice open space with a lot of seating. The coffee, specifically the cold brew, and food are great!

I Love Shine. I only wish they hadn’t switched from the best coffee ever (Terra Nova) to the ubiquitous and mediocre Temple coffee. They serve as a great little venue in the evenings, live music and poetry. They also serve kombucha on tap, …

Great neighborhood spot. Super chill. Samosas are delish! Good music, has draft beer and comfy setup. 4 stars just because there is a lot of game in town

New favorite spot in Sacramento – for coffee or post work drink. Haven’t tried the grilled cheeses but they look awesome.
Love that there is a spot like this that offers a cool vibe and community – from live music to open mic to fun trivia nights. 👍🏼 …

Have been coming here for third Speak Out Sacramento for a little under a year and am always surprised by the outcome. Small selection of good beer and good eats too. Great for a date or meet up spot

Relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. Delicious laté. Staff helped create a vegan menu option for me that was delicious. Terrific monthly musical calendar – check it out!!

Good vibes, friendly customers, and the staff have always been really nice to me! Happy this spot has vastly improved/changed the management, it really makes a difference in the neighborhood. I enjoy the samosas a teas.

Cute little coffee shop. It’s dog friendly so it’s nice to see cute pups in line while you wait for your breakfast! Also the fact that they serve Temple Coffee is a definite plus. Sweet staff, too!!

This place is exactly what my son needed. A cool place to hang out have coffee, eat & enjoy local music especially Jazz. At 17 having an all ages place w/ free music during the week & bands with a cover charge on the weekend is priceless. …

Shine isn’t your fast paced franchise coffee shop but neither is it in that high priced elitist special blend organic almond milk fresh mint niche. It feels like an old college town coffee place, where you will find some one reading Kant, …

Great experience, great vibe, great drinks.

Under new ownership! I love coming here. Temple coffee served, great selection of teas. I love their cold brew. I also enjoy the kombucha on tap. Great ambience! I also forgot to mention the myriad vegetarian and vegan options this place has 🙂

The restaurant is really good and it’s the coffee shop and the soup is good and the grilled cheese sandwich is it good

Working hours are good, pre-COVID. Good place to do homework, free Wi-Fi, place is clean, friendly.

Great Place. Great batistas and customer service. Very lively vibe and just a great place to go to if you ever want to escape something and find a place to relax your mind, meet new people and make great friends. Their teas are great and …

They serve Temple coffee and it’s amazing. The staff is friendly. This is the perfect place to get a bit to eat some coffee and have a study session.

This place is a local gem! It’s friendly to all, welcome to all, and has great staff! It’s the kind of place you love so much that you kinda wanna not tell people about for fear of others timing it into something it’s not. …

This cafe gets better and better every time I go in here. They have added a lot to this neighborhood. It’s not pretentious, the coffee and food are good and not overpriced, and the staff is friendly. If you live in this neighborhood, stop …

Good spot. Had the fruit cup, water. No juice was available but looked like a good selection of coffee and food. Ambiance was good.

Love coming to Shine to work and have a tasty bite ans good coffee 🙂 Friendly atmosphere.

Great place to hangout and meet people. Love the vibes and the new paint job. Coffee is 10/10 although the menu isn’t the same as the old shine, the salmon lox bagel is a hit!! Def recommend this place in the mornings if you want to do some work on your laptop. P.S anastasiya is my favorite worker 🙂

Really cool vibe, barista was friendly. Would like to come back and check out the music scene. The only reason I didn’t give 5🌟 is because their coffee is CRAZY expensive. It was almost $7 for a basic 12oz latte, which was decent, but not worth $7 …

The staff when I came (Marina and Frank) were very hospitable and super welcoming. Treated me like a regular …

Shine is near my place of employment so it is convenient but the service and quality is also consistent and that is why I continue to patronize this coffee shop. I only go during the morning hours so I can only speak of service and quality …
