I really enjoyed the coffee and food at this new eatery downtown. The decor was nostalgia in a way that I got to see a 90s version of what a traditional Mexican home might look like. The owner happened to be there and was very helpful in our drink selection. We got the horchata latte with foam. We also got chilaquiles which was flavorful but we should have added protein like chorizo. I would love to come back as they just opened up the door upper dining area for night time eating and fun.

Loved my Nube Horchata coffee (basically horchata cold foam and café do olla base)! Service was quick on Saturday morning heading to the farmers market. They offered seating options for both indoor and outdoor. Would love to come to check out their food options.

Best chilaquiles I've had in a long time!! I got the green sauce, and let me tell you...the ratio of asada, eggs, and chips/sauce was perfect. They also serve it with a piece of bread, which was a nice little bonus because who doesn't love extra carbs? My boyfriend got the red sauce version, and it was also so tasty! We came for lunch, and it wasn't too crowded, so we found a table right away. You order first and then grab a table, so the whole process was super quick and easy. I also ordered the hot horchata latte and I would honestly come back just for that! It wasn't overly sweet and had the perfect amount of cinnamon. The ambiance is super homey, literally feels like you're eating at your abuela's house, which is fitting because the restaurant is actually inside a house. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

We love to try chilaquiles from diffente places, these chilaquiles weren't the best we had tried, but they were very good. The service is good, people are very friendly. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because the place is very small and you have to wait for availability of tables. The other point is that we had to wait little bit more than 45 minutes to get our food. We noticed that people that ordered after us got their food before us. Food is good we really recommend this places if you want to Try authentic Mexican food.

Great food, fresh and authentic. I loved breakfast tacos. lol We went during a Friday morning so it was easier to find parking and there wasn't a line. It's very cute and cozy. Has indoor and outdoor seating and the outdoor seating has a nice waterfall to listen to while you eat. The table and theme is very traditional. We ordered breakfast tacos abs chilaquiles along with cafe de la Olla. It was perfect. Not too sweet. Didn't add anything to it.

Horchata Hot chocolate

This place is a hidden gem. Small but cozy. The hot chocolate horchata was amazing and the green chilaquiles was pretty good. I'm going to have to give the red one a try next time. Not too big of a fan of the pastry though. It was a bit dry. I think if I had any of that hot chocolate horchata then it may have been ok. The service was pretty good. Just took a minute for the tables to her cleared. Will def come here again.

This definitely felt like I was taking a step into my abuelita's kitchen. Hearty plates. Chile-forward sauces. Fresh pan mexicano. Chocolate de la abuelita that tastes like nostalgia in a cup. What we ordered Drinks * Licuado de plátano * Café de olla * Chocolate de la abuelita Mains * Salsa-glazed chilaquiles with runny eggs * Pork tamal in red chile * Mollete with chorizo & soft egg * Huevos a la mexicana Dessert * Fresh pan mexicano Traditional, nostalgic, intentional. Every bite tastes like it was made with abuelita-level care. The service was great, they were so nice and recommended the right balance spicy/not spicy. Also on the weekend they serve menudo!

Really loved this spot. The location is nostalgic and beautifully decorated, it truly feels like you're stepping into your abuelita's house in Mexico. Such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They offer Café de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. It is on the sweeter side and pre-made, but still very delicious. I stopped by for a cafecito mid-afternoon and there was plenty of seating with fast service, especially for a Sunday, which was nice. They do offer breakfast items, though I didn't get a chance to try them this time, definitely something to come back for. One thing to note is that the restrooms are shared/connected through the alley with nearby establishments. It would be nice to have an additional restroom, especially during busy times. Overall, I definitely recommend this location. Great spot to grab coffee and then take a walk around the neighborhood afterward.

Cozy, warm, feels like mg abuelas home. I am sooo happy when we went here. My best friends from the bay visited Sac and we all wanted to try Abuelas!! The coffee and the menudo is thhhhe best menudo. We got the pot to share and it just feels like a warm hug. So here is the set up: you order first, order everything you want because they do run out!! Pick a table and enjoy. I will be back for sure!! Weeeeee love it so much.

This was unfortunately a huge letdown for me. I was super excited to try out some Mexican pastries and hot chocolate for the first time. When I came in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me a complimentary coffee and concha. I didn't drink the coffee because it usually makes me jittery, but the concha was a bit lackluster. It was subtle in flavor, but I mostly tasted the powdered sugar (or whatever it was) on the outside. It was also a little dry. I bought one of the pan dulces (ojo de pancha) and a hot chocolate. The pancha was hard as a rock and lacked flavor. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate either. It was less of a chocolate taste and more of the spices they had in it. I was really disappointed with this visit. I had high hopes. I might come back and try their meals, but I'm not sure.

If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere to take you away from the sterile coffee shops and otherwise greatness of life, this place is it. The horchata latte was amazing. Food is great too. Highly recommend!

Adorable little spot that o stopped by to grab a coffee. I got the nube d horchata and it was really good. It tasted like actual horchata which when horchata is made into any type of coffee drink can be very hit or miss so I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is adorable and while I didn't have any food this time, I would definitely be back to try.

We stopped in looking for coffee and ordered a cold horchata latte and a hot specialty drink (forgot the name). Unfortunately, neither was what we expected -- the "latte" seemed more like pre- brewed coffee with sweet flavoring instead of a true espresso-based drink. The hot one was overly sweet and we couldn't get through even a third of it. That said, the breakfast dishes coming out of the kitchen looked great, so we need to come back and give the food a try next time. They have cute indoor seating and nice outdoor patio as well. We will come by again and hope to update this review with more stars ! Great to see new fun cafes opening in Sacramento. Friendly service , street parking only .

Maple Sage Fried Chicken. My favorite! The chicken is uniquely textured and the sweet sage flavor really makes it stand out. As a person who is actually not a big breakfast food fan, I think this dish has the right balance of breakfast hashbrowns, toast, and eggs mixed with "regular food," the chicken. 2. The strawberries and cream stuffed French toast was pretty good. One of my daughters had this dish and enjoyed it. 3. The house pancakes. My wife thought she has had much better classic pancakes at Orphan and Sunnyside, but they were decent. Probably would not get again. Great service as always.

They have a decent menu and I love how many dishes they have for brunch. Service has always been great, I've never had a bad experience. There's a huge outdoor seating and it's great for big groups. Good usually comes out promptly so I've never had to wait too long even when it's busy. Pros: the portions are huge, I can easily share with another person and still have leftovers.

The server said the chicken fried steak was really good, so that was my choice. I thought that I would also enjoy the pork sausage gravy served on top of it since I love biscuit and gravy. I was quite disappointed in my choice because the steak as very tough, and dry, like it was not made in-house but probably frozen, and deep fried in house. The generous serving of gravy on top was lacking any flavor and was on the pasty side, so it didn't help the steak in any way. My toast was cold, which was not too much an issue, but the hardness of the toast was like day old left over toast. I told the server the steak was pretty tough but he chose to ignore my comment twice. I did like the potatoes, which were nice and crispy, but if anything, would've like a fresher piece of toast. One of our guest gave me her butter and that did not spread well on the hard toast. I took the steak home, and heated it a little because I was still hungry, but after one bite, I just tossed it. Just wasn't good. The guest next to me did order the omelette, and her omelette did look very good. I was just unhappy with my meal, for the price, which would've been worth it, if it were good.

Really fun little restaurant that really captures that homey Southern charm…read more We were seated right away, and the host was really nice and fun, offering his recommendations without us even having to ask. Our waitress came over shortly after. I see a lot of mixed reviews about the service, and I think some staff members are friendlier and more outgoing than others, but even the less friendly servers were still attentive, helpful, and quick. I think it just depends on who you get and whether you value a really friendly interaction or care more about the food and basic service. We tried a cappuccino since the host said they make all their coffee in-house, and it was pretty good, especially coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee. We chose the fried green tomatoes as our starter, and they were delicious. I'd never had them before but had always heard how iconic of a Southern dish they are. They were really well balanced with the aioli and feta, and the tomatoes themselves were juicy and fresh. I had to go with the shrimp po' boy, which was also really good. The shrimp were pretty big and tasted fresh, complemented well by the really light, airy, buttery bread and fresh vegetables inside. The fries were also a plus! I enjoyed everything I ordered and would definitely come back to try some other things. I will say it was a bit pricey for brunch for two people, with the bill coming out to around $80 with tip. I guess that's just the day and age we live in now, though. I thought the portions were decently sized. Not as huge as your typical diner portions, but still large enough that you could probably expect some leftovers.

The beignets reminded us of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans. Our table staff was also excellent, attentive, and friendly. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a disappointing start. While we were standing closest to the greeter's desk, the gentleman seating guests seemed to overlook us and asked another couple if they were next in line. Whether intentional or not, it left us feeling overlooked and uncomfortable. It was an unfortunate moment that took away from an otherwise enjoyable brunch. Sadly, this first impression may make us think twice about returning.

His coworker came over like, "Of course oat milk," and I was like, bet, let's do it Staff gets a 10/10 from me.
