    Protein bagel
    Kylie S.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Turkey burger with French fries

    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.

    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.

    Outdoor patio seating.

    Great service, had a kabob burger, not your typical burger, so if you're looking for something different this is a good spot. Pasta got great reviews from my party. Nice little hidden spot, will be on my frequent return list. Parking is a little challenging during a busy time, so don't tell anyone about this place, I want to be able find parking when I come back. Outdoor seating area is great.

    Vegetarian - Crepe with a side salad. I preferred the house made veggie burger.

    *** 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.

    Love the water feature on the covered patio out back

    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!

    Lox on a bagel in the forefront!

    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!

    Banana bread latte & Spicy avocado toast
    Elizabeth U.

    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!

    Sacramento Scramble
    Melia A.

    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! :)

    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.

    Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine
    Crist P.

    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.

At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend). My son's chicken tenders were great as well and looked homemade and not like it came from a frozen bag. There is paid parking around the area. It was a 60 degree day but with jackets on, the weather felt amazing. When we had stepped into the restaurant it had felt too stuffy, so I am glad we got to seat outside.

We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.

I waited over 30 minutes for two drinks that took roughly three minutes to prepare. The employee only started making them after I asked whether my order was ready. Her explanation was that they don't make online orders until customers show up because some people never come, or because ice might melt. That's not how mobile ordering works. The entire reason people order ahead is so the drinks are ready when they arrive. Instead, my order was apparently ignored while I stood there waiting with no communication whatsoever. If customers are expected to announce themselves before their order will even be started, that should be clearly stated when ordering. Otherwise, this is just wasting people's time and defeating the purpose of the service entirely. Extremely frustrating experience.

We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me.
