    We stumbled upon the cafe while waiting for lunch. The cafe is in the middle of the Milagro Centre. They offered different coffees, plenty of teas and also sandwiches. There was only one staff member at the time so it took a while to order and get a drinks. We got the kids hot chocolate and Horchata Latte. The latte was rich and creamy and we loved it. The kids drinks were a good size and not too hot which was nice. There were several tables in the front of the cafe and more around the centre. So it was nice to sit and take our time.

    This review if for the coffee truck they currently have in midtown. They have a few lattes, teas and baked goods. The vibe walking by is very lively and upbeat. The music was a little too loud but the barista turned it down when we came in. The service was very fast and the barista was very pleasant. I ordered the Dulce Canelo which was a 10/10 and the Chocolate banana bread also 10/10, it was very moist. This is a great spot for people to sit and sip right off of 28th st. & Valley way. Although seating space is limited.

    Had a little time on my hands so decided to stop and smell the...coffee. I ordered the Mexican Mocha for there. I love when I'm given an actual cup and saucer for eat-in at a coffee shop. There's just something special about sipping a coffee drink from a ceramic cup. The Mexican Mocha was wonderful. Great mix of cocoa and cinnamon with a rich coffee taste. Milagro is a wonderful Carmichael treat, offering up so many restaurants. It means this is a super place for people watching too. The staff was friendly and service was speedy. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    The barista was friendly, but not very helpful--she admitted she hasn't tried any of the drinks because she doesn't "drink that kind of stuff." ‍ I ordered an iced dirty lavender matcha with oat milk, and honestly, it was just okay. On top of that, she was the only one working, so orders before mine took priority, which made the wait much longer than expected. If you're looking for a spot to sit, relax, and have a conversation, the ambience is nice for leisure time. But if you're just trying to grab a drink and go, this isn't the place.

    I wasn't sure they were open since Milagro looked shut down, but they were. Plenty of parking and seating.

    The only cafe at the Milagro Center, I used to come here quite often! Cute spot with lots of plants and seating. I usually like to support small businesses, what gives me pause is when I'm charged $.50 to add a splash of soy milk in my coffee. Is it me? Does that seem petty to charge for that? Anyway, I suppose when Starbucks lets you add milk or soy without any charge (or any other cafe that I have been to for that matter), it seems a bit petty to charge extra for this. In addition, when my daughter ordered a hot tea and asked for honey to be added, it was also going to cost an extra $.50. It's like In'n'Out charging money for a ketchup packet. (Restaurants do this in Australia, heaven forbid that ever happens in the US.) Anyone who knows me will say that I am "all about the principle." I just can't bring myself to pay $.50 for a tablespoon of non-dairy creamer to add to my coffee smh.

    Café Madre is located inside the Milagro Centre in Downtown Carmichael This was my first visit at this cafe. It is between a gelato shop and a Mexican restaurant. Temps were in mid 80's today but felt like in the 90's. I ordered refresher drinks, Golden Lemonade and Madre Berry, I love the tart on the Madre Berry which included coconut water, strawberries, cardamon, and lemonade but my favorite was the Golden Lemonade with pineapple and turmeric (ordered it twice). I also ordered the Pizza Sandwich. It was okay but I'm not a fan. It's a pepperoni and cheese pizza sandwich-style. It came with chips. The two young employees were fast but when they are slammed with customers have patience as they try to get the orders out as fast as they could. Seating is limited inside but if you step outside you can enjoy your food and drink in a covered outdoor food court common area. Review #2605

    Bella Bru Cafe Review August 02, 2026…read more Came in around 1:50 PM on a weekend. There was no greeting, not even a simple "hi." It had a very "figure it out yourself" kind of atmosphere. We let that slide and eventually found the printed menu ourselves. The menu clearly stated that breakfast is served until 2 PM, but we were told the breakfast kitchen had already closed early. There was no sign or notice saying this. We only found out from the cashier, who seemed only half attentive. She was still chatting with a coworker while finishing the order of the couple ahead of us and seemed more focused on the conversation than on customers. I ordered the tuna melt. The butter on the grilled white bread left an old, stale aftertaste that I had to wash down with their drip coffee. The sandwich was also poorly balanced. Instead of slicing the avocado properly, they stuffed what looked like half an avocado into it, leaving me with a bulging sandwich that had more avocado than tuna. Compared to a tuna sandwich from Quiznos or Subway at about half the price, this felt like a rip-off. Unfortunately, we still gave them another chance and ordered a slice of carrot cake. We noticed that several customers who ordered after us received their cake much sooner, even though all the server had to do was slice it from the display. Our order was served last, despite being one of the simplest. Overall, the food was overpriced, the service was inattentive, and the experience left a lot to be desired. We won't be coming back.

The cafe has 2 sides to sit in and is decorated with decorations of the current holiday. We had the sweetest server, Debbie, and she made sure that the coffee cups on our table were always filled with hot coffee. My father in law had the French Toast and crispy bacon. It was a large portion of French Toast and the bacon was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the Ham egg scramble with pancakes. He said his eggs were light, fluffy and very good. His 2 pancakes were large and looked really fluffy too.... I took a bite of his pancake and it has great flavor and was perfectly cooked. I ordered the veggie omelette With Jack cheese. I was able to substitute no zucchini for sausage. I choose crispy hash browns and a biscuit on the side with a side of biscuits and gravy gravy. My omelette was a 3 egg omelette, my hash browns were a perfect crispy and the side of biscuits and sausage gravy was flavorful and very good. They serve breakfast and lunch and all of their food is reasonably priced. A few lunch items, like fish n chips or a French dip are only $12.50...not too pricey at all. If you are looking for delicious hot food, friendly servers and reasonable prices this is the place for you. We will definitely be going back to The Hungry Halloween Cafe soon!

Unfortunately, we left wondering how it has such a high rating. I ordered the Country Scramble. The potatoes seemed boiled rather than fried and were very soft and mushy. That made the entire scramble watery and mushy as well. On the positive side, the sourdough toast was good. The biggest issue, though, was the cleanliness. In the bathroom, I saw three dead cockroaches and what appeared to be rat droppings around the edges of the floor. That was extremely unpleasant and honestly made it difficult to feel comfortable eating there. Based on our experience with both the food and cleanliness, my wife and I would not recommend Hungry Hollow Café, and we would not return. I rarely leave a review like this, but cleanliness in a restaurant is something I take seriously.

There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes.

The Lavendar lattes was made well with just right amount of sweetness. The service could have been better. The young woman at the register was helpful with food suggestions and patience. Thank you! Let's get to the price and service overall. I think the food is a bit pricey considering you have to order at the counter first. I paid 50+ for two people. Next, I recommend a protein plate option for people who have dietary restrictions outside of pork. That's very easy to do. Not 1 time did anyone check on us to see if we need anything such as condiments. I did leave a tip at the register when I ordered my food as it's part of the transaction process. 3 times in a short period of time and not at peak hour. I had to get up to ask for condiments. I had to get up to ask for to go containers and I had to get up a 3rd time for a to go container for my latte. They did not even say thank you for coming in. My daughter did say, thank you while walking out and someone said have a great day. 3 women at a slow peak hour, 9:30 -10:05, on Thursday, September 3 and nothing. Because of the service, I will not be back as I prefer to support businesses that value customer service and hospitality. Now let's get to the dumplings--no flavor at all. I did take home and will add some gyoza sauce and give to my granddaughter. It has potential, just season. Avocado toast was bland, but eggs were fluffy. I'm not sure if European eastern food is bland, and maybe so. I had to ask for ketchup and hot sauce. They should ask if we need anything else and how is everything. Again, it may be a cultural thing--I don't know. Portions are decent. Menu is pricey for cafe with no service and have to order at the front counter.

What a surprise! I arrived around 10:30 and was the only client there. The office building itself seemed quite empty of tenants too. Not sure of what was going on in the building. The security guard was very nice and escorted me to the restaurant. I was still in time for breakfast. They had a special which I ordered. I thought it took a bit longer than it should have - an omelet and some sausage and a prebaked muffin with coffee that I served myself - but it was all good. They seemed to be working on a lot of catering orders for lunch. A mother and son came in, ordered one meal and shared it. The space is large, open, and bright. It just seemed temporary to me - not like a restaurant wanting to diners but a place to prepare their catering orders and IF a random person suddenly appeared, they could be fed. This is not an area that I frequent and so the likelihood of returning is small - not because the food wasn't tasty or the restaurant itself was unacceptable. It just is out of the way for me and though was good, I was not wowed enough to find my way back for a meal. However, if you are in the area, please check them out. A mom and pop operation that deserves support.
