Looking for the best coffee shops in Folsom and El Dorado Hills? Whether you're a coffee connoisseur, a remote worker, or just someone who loves a great cup of joe, these local spots are sure to impress. As a real estate agent who knows the ins and outs of these communities, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite coffee shops that not only serve incredible coffee but also offer unique vibes that make them stand out. Let’s dive into the coolest places to grab your next latte!

If you’re looking for a coffee shop that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious, World Traveler Coffee is the place to be. With its minimalist decor, perfect lighting, and chic aesthetic, this spot is a content creator's dream. But don’t let the looks fool you—the coffee is just as amazing as the ambiance.
What to try: The Rose Vanilla Latte is pure perfection.
With locations in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Roseville, and Sacramento, World Traveler Coffee is expanding rapidly while maintaining its commitment to quality. Trust me, this is one stop you won’t want to miss!

Nestled in the heart of Historic Folsom, Sociology Coffee Bar is a hipster’s paradise. The interior features dark, rustic tones with floral murals that create a cozy yet trendy vibe. Their specialty coffee menu is complemented by an impressive selection of matcha drinks, making it a must-visit for matcha lovers.
Pro tip: Stop by on Saturday mornings before heading to the Farmer’s Market in Old Folsom for the perfect weekend outing.
With both indoor and outdoor seating options, Sociology Coffee Bar is ideal whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying some solo time with your favorite brew.

The name alone makes this coffee shop unforgettable! While I’m still not entirely sure why it’s called Chocolate Fish, I do know that their coffee and baked goods are top-notch. Their matcha drinks are particularly impressive—you’ll want to savor every sip.
Located near scenic trails in Folsom, this spot is perfect for grabbing a post-hike pick-me-up with the kids or relaxing after some outdoor fun.
Why I love it: The location can’t be beat, and their inviting atmosphere makes it easy to unwind.

Double Shot Coffee Bar holds a special place in my heart because of its welcoming vibe and personal touch. The owners have created a space where everyone feels like family, and you can truly sense the love they’ve poured into it.
What makes it unique: A few mom groups meet here regularly before strolling to a nearby park with their little ones—how sweet is that?
In addition to great coffee, they offer baked goods, quick meals, and (coming soon) wine and beer options starting this April! This cozy spot is perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time with your favorite drink.

If sophistication had a name, it would be Temple Coffee Roasters. Founded in 2005 by Sean Kohmescher after his travels through Indonesia, Temple was created with a vision of fostering community through exceptional coffee. Their story reflects their commitment to “good vibes, great service, and exceptionally well-prepared coffee.”
With eight locations and their own roastery (yes, I finally learned what that means—it’s where they roast their beans!), Temple has become a staple for coffee lovers across the region.
What to try: Their tea and baked goods are also worth exploring if you’re looking for something beyond coffee.
