Food - Sliders with fries was good and fresh! Very flavorful. Contained 3 sliders with 3 different flavors: regular cheese burger with veggies, guacamole burger and a bleu cheese burger. Service - You have to order at the counter. I honestly thought it was a server kind of space but you need to order before you sit down. Ambiance - Creative , welcoming and comfortable read more

My dining partner and I came here because we were really craving salads and didn't want to go to one of the chain salad places. While their salads are not cheap, they are a much better value than other non-chain restaurants that serve salads because of their top quality ingredients and the sheer size. Initially wanted to do a half sandwich and half salad my dining partner and I each one is separate types of salads, but then I saw the steak sandwich and they did not do the half steak sandwich with a half salad so we ordered a full salad and order the steak sandwich where we each had a giant half chicken, arugula, salad, and large halves of steak sandwich, and we also got our second choice of salad Fugi Apple with candied walnuts by paying a four dollar upgrade to having it instead of the french fries. They do substitute a plain dinner side salad for the fries free of charge , but I wanted the special Fugi salad, which is so so good. The amount of high-quality chicken on the arugula salad was truly impressive, and the super soft giant slice of focaccia made the salad quite the meal! Initially, I was a little disappointed to see that the steak wasn't a whole steak and was sliced into three slices, but after I tasted it, it tasted like the most tender awesome steak without any fat or grizzle that a whole steak often comes with and it wasn't anything like a Philly cheesesteak which is something I don't like. So I was super happy with the steak sandwich. Cafe Dantorels is an order at the counter and take your number and be seated. Serve your own water, kind of place which saves on staff and seems to be quite efficient. Also allows for people that are dining with other people where they don't want to have one bill they can easily just pay for their own meal and not have a be awkward. The interior is inviting and there's a giant patio in the back that's covered for a large groups and then there's quaint seating around the exterior of the restaurant, which is my favorite. The plants have been growing up. There's lovely olive treason and shrubs. I really enjoy eating at this restaurant. Can't wait to come back for the wonderful crêpes. read more

Not good not bad, just so so Food 3 stars Arrive 3 stars Arrived around 3pm and placed our order right away. What we ordered. Eggs Benedict - 3 stars Only one egg had bacon and avocado Hollandaise sauce was barely there Order served cold I had to ask for bacon, avocado, and more hollandaise, but by the time it came, the food went from cold to colder. They were nice when I asked for more. Seafood fettuccine 3.5 stars Not much flavor We also order a glass of brut champagne They brought us a Chardonnay instead They did correct the error as soon as we mentioned it. Overall, its was ok food but I was hoping for more. read more

We met for book club here. Our server, Rafael, was great! Very attentive. Service was excellent. I ordered the Brie burger. I was looking forward to having the creaminess of the Brie cheese in a burger. However, the Brie was lacking in my opinion. Or, maybe because it was overflowing with grilled onions. Don't get me wrong, I love grilled onions. But there was so much it wasn't enjoyable to eat. And extremely messy. Disappointed. The fries were on point though! The rest of the food from what the girls said was great!! But that will not stop me from going again. Great spot. Great atmosphere. Loved the live music. read more

Haven't been since I moved out of Curtis Park and was really happy to return! A friend and I met for lunch around 10:30 on a Saturday morning. I could be wrong but the inside looks like it may have been redone or redecorated and it looks great! The menu used to be up above the register and it still might be big I didn't see it. They do have the menus at the counters to order. I ordered the protein bagel which came with egg whites, turkey, spinach, red onions, cucumbers and pesto. I also ordered a side of chicken apple sausage. The bagel was amazing, but it was a little difficult to eat. Loved the chicken apple sausage too. I also ordered one of their coffee specials which was also good. The service was great and our food came out pretty quick. Once we finished our plates were taken. The water is self serve from two difference dispensers and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely a must visit in Curtis Park. read more

Been here a handful of times and it always does the trick. Ordered the ham and cheese Benedict and never did I expect an entire sandwich then topped with eggs benny and it was incredible. It was huge and more than enough to share. The prices aren't cheap but the food tends to be quite large and very filling. I also had a lemon poppyseed scone that was very good, not dense or sticky. Also got the special German coffee which was one of the best coffees I'd had in a while. A coffee will almost always run you $8 ish in Sacramento but at least this one made me dance in my seat! read more

We wanted to try something new to us & decided upon this restaurant bc we were in the neighborhood. We could only find street parking but lucky for us it was close by. This corner cozy counter order up restaurant was surprisingly a good choice! I sat in a bench seat that did have a crack in it though. Next time we will sit elsewhere! They had outdoor seating & possibly upstairs too? My wife ordered her gluten free chorizo benedict & she was very pleased. It was more than enough that we had to take part of it to go. I ordered the Sacramento scramble & thought it tasted good too. My coffee was bitter at first but my replacement was better. Service was fairly quick bc we were very hungry! We will definitely return! read more

A friend and I met around 11:30 a.m. on Aug 7th to enjoy a conversation in the outside (fire) room. In that outside room were a couple of other people also enjoying the ambiance. The staff were attentive and the restaurant obviously doing it's job. Around 12:15 p.m. a man arrived with 2 kids who immediately began making LOUD noises, knocking chairs over and then turning on a kid's device that was screaming loud. (like bringing a TV with them and turning it up as loud as it would go) The man did nothing. He just ignored the hubbub. Finally none of us could hear and we asked the man to turn it down. The mother of this group arrived at that moment and literally started SCREAMING at the person who asked that it be turned down. She was completely rude and RAGING saying he kids could make as much noise as they wanted and if people did not like it they could leave. Clearly this poor restaurant owner and management has to decide how to set limits with rude people like this who expect that the world turns just for them. We left asap and wonder if we will ever return to enjoy this restaurant again. There needs to be RULES for everyone. Protecting your customers is of utmost importance. This is the second time this has happened to me at this restaurant. What is going on in the world? This is not parenting! Going to a restaurant does not mean you can do what every you want and drive others away! THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS, NOT THE RESTAURANT NOR STAFF. read more

I came here to meet up with some friends for lunch. It was my first time visiting, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a pretty chilly day, so I was hoping to find a seat inside. The place was quite busy and the line was long. A table opened up, so I grabbed it and waited for my friends to arrive before getting in line to order at the counter. I ended up ordering the half Fuji salad and a half BLT turkey sandwich. The salad was phenomenal, but the sandwich was a bit disappointing. It was fairly dry and seemed to be lacking any mayo or mustard, which would have helped bring more flavor to it. My meal also came with a side of potatoes, so there was a lot of food that I had to pack leftovers to go. read more

Our daughter gave us a gift card for Cafe Dantorels. We were downtown and decide to stop in. You may order from the counter. The staff were so friendly and bubbly. We decided on 2 Turkey Burger's with fries. At which time they hand you a number. The ambience is so inviting. There's an outdoor patio where you may be seated. Our orders were served pipping hot with lot of flavor, oh my goodness so fresh. Mmm good. We will return The only downside for me was that they don't serve domestic beer like Budweiser or Bud Light. read more

We had a great time visiting friends in Sacramento, on the way out of town we were looking for a deli style lunch site, our friends suggested Cafe Dantorels, what a great spot, located within the Curtis Park neighborhood. The location has a lot of character and charm, with indoor and various outdoor seating options for all party sizes. Parking is a little hit and miss but worth stop. The food, wow, lots of Cafe/Deli style favorites such as Crepes to Burgers. We ordered the Tuna Melt and the Cheeseburger. The Tuna Melt was good sized with provolone, mayo, tuna salad, roasted red peppers and red onion on wheat bread, my wife raved on the taste, on top of this it was served with fries (In-in out like) the dish was very good. I had the Cheeseburger, well done with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato and onions on a soft bun, also served with fries (In-in out like), so good. The burger had amazing flavor, it was a large patty fyi and also served with a pickle. There are so many other food options this is the type of spot that you can visit over and over and not grow tired of their food. The setting is unique, built on a corner of a main road, its surrounded by an amazing neighborhood, the interior of the cafe has many table size options, they also have a wraparound outdoor seating area facing the neighborhood or you can experience the covered back patio, it has a large outdoor seating section, it looked like they had ceiling heaters or heaters of some type. The entire location is well decorated, one of the most eye catching were the various planters along the outdoor seating area, not only do they give you some privacy, but they are also very appealing. As far as the service, it was fair, most employees were nice, but they seem very busy and focused on their task's vs the customers, overall a good experience. We really enjoyed the chill vibe. read more

*** Vegetarian Review *** Great looking corner spot in Curtis Park - it's the old New Helvetia spot. Came for an evening birthday party and with all the celebrating, it slipped my mind to take more photos of the interior. But it's nicely decorated for the holidays. Feels like a Hallmark movie. Street parking was easy. Order at the counter like Cafe Bernardo. Would I come back? Yes, they make a delicious home made veggie burger, not just a doctored up Impossible or Beyond patty. Home Made Veggie Burger ($22, Grade A) - Chickpeas and white bean patty, chipotle mayo, lettuce, onion, jack cheese, tomatoes, dill pickles, and peas sprouts. The bun is toasted so you get a bonus textural component. The patty may look like a boring Garden Burger, but it is nothing like the frozen patties you find at a grocery store. It's hearty and packs a lot of flavor in every bite. The fries appear house cut as well and were nicely salted. Add a pickle wedge and this is a burger to definitely come back for. Bottom line. Lively, festive environment. Staff is very friendly. They offer much more than your basic Impossible and Beyond Burger so that should hopefully peak your interest to give this neighborhood restaurant a visit. read more

How have I not only never been here before, but not even ~heard~ about this place before?! It's a mystery to me. Paid my first visit here for a work-related group lunch. They were accommodating enough to reserve a large table for us on the covered patio. They have order-at-the-counter service and then bring your food to your table. All the food options were great and huge portions! The patio was very lovely and the inside was roomy with lots of seating options. I'll definitely be back! read more

First off-- I'm so confused to why the ratings are so low for this place??? I had a brunch day with my girly pop and we LOVE this place. The staff is so wonderful, patient, and kind. Parking sucks, as it does anywhere in downtown. Street parking is your arch nemesis, but other than that; I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. When you enter, there are menus by the side of the door. When you're ready, you order at the counter, they hand you a number, and it's self seating. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I ordered the banana bread latte & a spicy avocado toast which came with a side salad. Everything was delicious!! In total, including tip, it was roughly $33. I know-- some of you are gonna think "wow that's so expensive" but hellooo, we live in California & inflation is a real thing! If you can't afford to eat out and tip for your service, then don't! EZPZ! read more

Cafe Dantorels - Banana bread latte & Spicy avocado toast - Cafes Near Me - Sacramento, California

They really need to up their bussing staff on weekends so that patrons are not competing for tables. We were rudely told to move to another table by a patron because their family wanted to sit together indoor--We wanted to sit outdoor anyway but had to wait awhile for a table to be cleaned. For the price paid, the mimosa being filled halfway was laughable. Fortunately, the dubai chocolate crepe was delicious. Overall the whole experience was not up to par and I wouldn't recommend coming here on a weekend, if at all. read more

I came in very hungry and left very happy. This place is cute, i parked on the street (easily found parking) and the workers here were very kind. my only complaint was i paid almost $40 (pretty pricey just for myself). Other than that, I'm not sure why this place has low reviews. I especially enjoyed the sac scramble it was soooo good. i think since ive been coming here for a while now it looks like this place might need a few upgrades whether its different paint color, different decor. it looks a little dark and the same as its looked all these years so maybe that's why reviews gone bad. either way i'll be back soon. Thank you Cafe Dantorels for my yummy breakfast! :) read more

Cafe Dantorels is a great place for a leisurely meal! A friend and I met there today and sat outside on a perfect Sacramento morning. With lots of greenery and on a cute street, we luxuriously wiled away close to three hours! With free coffee refills, ordering at the counter, and plenty of tables, we could really take our time! I had Lox, cream cheese, capers, pickles red onions, radishes and cucumber on a toasted jalapeno bagel. Yummy! I hope to go back soon! read more

Cafe Dantorels is the perfect spot for brunch in Sacramento. My go-to is always the Sacramento Scramble which has chicken apple sausage, mushrooms, spinach, corn, onions, and jack cheese, and it's also served with potatoes and toast on the side! I've also tried their iced vanilla coffee before which was mid-tier, but their hot tiramisu latte was amazing. The latte art was even cuter-- just look at it! They ended up featuring my picture on their instagram which was really cool. The way it works is that you go in and order at the counter, then they give you a table number and bring your meal out for you. Pretty simple. The vibe of this place is also really cozy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with a fire pit table. I love the outdoor seating especially during the fall and spring. read more

As you walk into the restaurant menus are in a slot along the wall. The menu is very extensive and has breakfast and lunch/dinner options. The menu items have thorough descriptions so it took me a little while to decide what to order. You place your order and pay at the counter. A number will be given to you if eating in, and they will bring the dishes to your table. I got the tuna melt with the French fries but you're able to substitute mixed greens at no cost. The other person in my party chose the Fuji salad. There is a lot of sitting inside and outside on the patio. Today we chose to sit inside. Lots of other patrons were enjoying the shaded seating on the patio. My tuna melt was toasted on the outside so it had a nice crunch. The sandwich has a roasted red bell pepper inside so that was something different for me. The sandwich was good and so were my fries. The Fuji salad was tossed nicely with the vinaigrette dressing. The toppings were generous because there was plenty from the first to the last bite. The salad was a refreshing option. Parking was alright as I was able to find a spot in their small parking lot behind the building. Most likely you will need to park along the street. It's not usually too much of an issue. read more

This was a cheat day for my besties and I, lol. We were not expecting to have burgers, but also, who doesn't want burgers?! My bestie had been here previously and wanted us to try their Brie burger with candied bacon. I'm skeptical about Brie because of the rind, but my bestie told me to give it a stab, and thus I did! Wow, I have never imagined to have Brie in my burger and I think I'm gonna have to start, lol. For some reason, something as creamy as Brie melded so well with my patty and candied bacon! I didn't feel grossed out eating it, and actually wished I had more to eat, haha. The fries were also perfectly cut and fried. Each strand was thin and crispy, almost like In-N-Out! Additionally, their ketchup is homemade! What the heck?! That's awesome~ it had a little bit of a cinnamon kick and wasn't overly sweet, which paired well with my burger and fries. Service was well and beyond 5 stars. My bestie ordered a tea, which did take awhile to arrive. But when a server came to check in with us and discovered she hadn't received her tea yet, the server brought her two cups of tea as an apology for the long wait! Totally unnecessary but very much appreciated! There was also some miscommunication in the kitchen, and more tea kept coming our way too, lol. In the end, we had four cups of tea delivered to us, but the server told us to drink it all if we liked. Very sweet! The ambiance of the restaurant was very casual and seemed like a nice place for family and friends to get together. You pay for your food upfront and then find a table to sit at. 10/10 would visit again in the future! read more

Café Dantorels makes some solid burgers. They do not skimp out with their topping portions, especially their guacamole on the Spanish Farm Burger, which is what I ended up going with. They also have a wide variety of IPA beers on tap. The place is relaxing with sports games playing on the television, making it a great spot to watch a game. The staff is great, super friendly people! The only downside would be the limited parking around this restaurant, but it is something they obviously cannot control. Otherwise, this is a cool restaurant that I would recommend people to check out. read more

We've been trying to find a brunch spot that serves traditional eggs benedict with Canadian bacon, and we stumbled upon Cafe Dantorels. We walked in and ordered TWO eggs benedict dishes, paid, and sat patiently. One dish came out, and we assumed the next would follow. After nearly 5 minutes, I wondered what was going on because they didn't take our table number away, so I figured they were still working on the other dish. Well, it turns out the woman who took my order only put one in. This ended up being fine because it was not good at all. The flavors were off, the eggs were way undercooked (not just runny yolk like it should be but very runny whites), and the potatoes were so mushy. Service here is subpar. It just seems like a bunch of kids who could not care less about good customer service. They'd rather just walk around, lazily do the bare minimum, and just laugh and joke with each other. It's such a shame because the location is great, and the restaurant itself is nice. read more

The chicken alfredo was great, I loved the bread on the side aswell. The service was top tier and lovely. However I do have a complaint about the water and soda that I was served. The Coca-Cola was very flat and unappetizing the water was also not good it tasted metallic and had a strong unpleasant aftertaste. read more

Cafe Dantorels - Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine - Cafes Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is a sit-down restaurant where you order at the counter, then they bring your food to you. It's popular, and the food is good. I had a dinner of a spicy and flavorful kabob with rice (good) and a blood orange cider (good, interesting too, and with wonderful color). The veggies skewer looked very colorful, but in fact had essentially no seasoning and were not the highlight. On the other hand, the salad was quite good. I had a smoked salmon benedict for breakfast with Earl Grey tea -- a good breakfast. The eggs were poached well, the salmon was tasty - though the potatoes were a little crunch/underdone (a minor quibble, but worth mentioning). Obviously popular with the locals, and reasonably priced (probably because they keep their staff costs low by having you order at the counter). I'd go back if I was in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip to eat there. read more

Came for brunch on Saturday and had a pleasant time with the family. We had a large group and were able to all sit together on the patio. Service was great, and the restaurant is setup well. The price of the drinks was a bit high, but the orange juice was fresh, and latte was good also. We had the chicken pesto crepe, crispy chicken club, kids chicken strips, kids cheeseburger, and our other family members also got soup, steak and eggs, Nutella crepe, salad, and drinks. We loved most of the food. The chicken crepe was a bit dry, added some pesto and it was a bit better. The chicken strips tasted exactly like 1990s McDonalds chicken nuggets - but twice the size. The crispy chicken had the same nuggets as the kids meal in a sandwich with bacon and it was good. Steak and salad were also good. Nutella crepe was very tasty as well. Recommend. read more

Stale bread me once? Annoying, but fine. Stale bread me twice, after a $60-plus tab? Now I'm officially cranky. The missus and I popped over to Dantorell's today for soups, salad, and a couple cold ones. She ordered the squash soup, I went for the chicken gumbo, and we split a Fuji salad. I was hungry, like "I could eat the table" hungry, so I ordered a baguette and an extra. First bite? Stale. I politely asked for a fresh one (or focaccia if they were out), assuming "fresh" was a universal bread-truth. ...It was not. Round two: stale again. At that point, I felt like I was in a carb-based prank show. And the chicken in the gumbo? Think "cotton ball that went to the desert." Sad times. For context, we decided to give the place another shot today after a hit-and-miss history, hoping this visit would remind us why we liked it in the first place. Instead, it just... landed flat. Like, stale-bread-flat. To be fair: service is always great and the place is clean. We've had solid meals here before, but also some misses--and today landed firmly in the "letdown" column. Here's hoping next time the bread is fresh and the chicken isn't auditioning to be drywall. read more

Much improved. They have switched to table service (used to be menu board, order at the counter). Stopped by on a whim and had a burger which was quite good. In fact we've been back twice.

A Curtis Park institution, Cafe Dantorels has been serving a "wide-ranging menu of American-style cuisine" since they first opened in July of 2012. Their welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and incredible food are what they are known for. I love meeting my family here for brunch! As you enter, you self order at the front register and are given a number, you seat yourself and they deliver your food fresh to your table. This occasion I ordered the banana bread French toast. With mascarpone cheese, banana, chopped bacon and topped with strawberry sauce and roasted honey almonds. I also ordered 2 sides of bacon and a small freshly squeezed OJ. This combo was perfect and large portions, I ended up taking half home. The freshness of produce and the quality ingredients keep the crowds coming back again and again. I love this neighborhood restaurant and you should too. read more

The food and service was amazing! The California crepe was delicious, and the waitresses were so sweet and friendly!

First off, I love Cafe Dantorels. The ambience here is so cute, relaxed, and the outside patio is nice with a fire pit table. Parking is easier here because it is in a neighborhood. They have specials, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They are a verified venue for Untappd app. Their lattes are always good and they have seasonal drinks. They have cocktails and beer for those that want to enjoy them with their food. Service is always pretty quick, even when they are busy. Seating is first come first serve after you order which can be a bit difficult during busy hours but I haven't really had any issues when I have come here. Food is delicious and they have something for everyone. read more
