Sacred Heart Coffee sits quietly on Tuolumne Street, offering a straightforward but well-crafted coffee experience that feels tuned to the local pace of Fresno. This spot leans into quality over fuss, making it an appealing stop for coffee enthusiasts who value a strong, carefully prepared cup. Their menu covers all the essentials—from cappuccinos and café con leche to a notably smooth cold brew and an Ethiopia pour-over—there’s something for both the traditionalist and the adventurous sipper.

The vibe is unpretentious and casual. The space itself is modest with limited indoor seating, though that’s complemented by a handful of tables outside shaded by bright red umbrellas, which catch the morning sun nicely. This makes it a practical choice for quick morning pick-me-ups or a paused moment on a sunny afternoon, especially if you’re passing by the nearby theater or Fresno sign. Street parking is available and, for those clever with timing, the adjacent CVS lot offers free parking if you look for it.

People who lean toward Sacred Heart Coffee often appreciate efficient service without the typical coffee shop fanfare—orders are handled quickly, which suits busy locals and visitors on a time crunch. While the staff keeps things professional rather than chatty, patrons note they can offer solid suggestions. The spot also draws those who enjoy small but satisfying pastries like croissants and walnut muffins alongside their drinks, which makes a good pairing for a quick break from the daily grind.

The atmosphere carries a gentle mix of warmth and simplicity, with filtered daylight casting a quiet glow inside, accompanied by a curated playlist that adds texture without dominating the space. It’s the kind of place where you might find students, creatives, or neighborhood workers taking a breather or holding low-key meetups. Milk alternatives like oat and almond are available, reflecting an awareness of diverse preferences.

All told, Sacred Heart Coffee fits neatly into Fresno’s local coffee landscape as a spot for those who want quality coffee served swiftly and without fuss. It’s best enjoyed during morning hours for the natural light and fresh starts, or midday if you need a solid caffeine fix paired with a snack. Not the destination for lounging for hours, but rather a functional and friendly pause point that respects your time and taste buds alike.

I love Fulton Street Coffee! The coffee is quality and you can taste it. It's not overly sweetened. I always get an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it's so good! Their coffees are also strong which I love. They are a bit pricy compared to corporate coffee shops, paying for quality is expected. There is no indoor seating at the moment, they have plenty of outdoor seating under their red umbrellas. Definitely a must visit! Updating 6/5/23 They have renovated the inside and there is now indoor seating. Today I tried the Cafe con Leche iced with oatmilk as well as a vegan muffin. Both were really good!

The Café Con Leche is amazing. Nice atmosphere, the light coming through the windows in the morning is beautiful. There's good music and coffee. There's metered parking on the street, and if you remember to turn into CVS before, you can park for free.

The coffee here was great! The workers were not super friendly or suggestive of an experience at this shop, but it did not break our experience. I absolutely loved my cold brew and they made it very quickly with no wait at all. This to me was perfect in a time crunch. The cappuccino my husband got was quite good and they have a wide variety of flavors. Right next to the big theatre and Fresno sign downtown.

Best spot to enjoy in Fresno. Great spot for a quick drink. Food options are very limited but the butter croissant and walnut muffin were fantastic. Would highly recommend the Hot chocolate too. Small indoor seating area and a few tables outside as well. Staff members are friendly and have good recommendations. Space is inclusive.

I love, small, independent coffee shops. So, my star rating may be a little biased. I also love my coffee simple. Breve iced latte, extra ice. The staff was super friendly. The latte was delicious. A few things that could make the customer experience even better: more indoor seating, cooler temperatures (I’m not sure if they have an AC unit or an evaporative cooler? It was a little warm. But I enjoyed my visit and if I am back in downtown Fresno, I’ll stop by again.
