Yes!! To Breakfast burritos. Friendly service and community atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and the size is great. A bit tucked in from the main road. Mornings can be busy so have a little patience and enjoy the delicious food.

I absolutely adore this place! What an amazing place to grab coffee and lunch. They have a spacious outdoor patio and it's amazing on a good weather day. The sandwiches were big portions and delicious! The chocolate chip cookie was so yummy, definitely order that!! The coffee was also great. Can't wait to be back!

Great service! Delicious food and love the location! The steak and mushroom skewers were so good! Cannot wait for the park to reopen 10/15/26!!

Avocado toast.

Friendly and welcoming staff - girl at the register was helpful in providing recommendations. This is a cute spot that is dog friendly. Outdoor patio faces trees and a walking path. Was nicely shaded and did not get too hot. They also had these private wooden booths that you could eat in - not too much space, but they are good if you have a dog that might get easily excited by lots of activity around. Bread on the tuna melt was great and the Cesar salad lettuce was super crunchy. Beautiful avocado toast and a double- shot of espresso to top it off. Parking lot available, lots of spaces.

Vanilla Latte and a Butterscotch Latte

While Emile's Cafe has a nice atmosphere, the overall experience was disappointing. The menu items and drinks are on the pricier side, which would be fine if the quality was exceptional. Unfortunately, everything tasted completely mediocre. Paying premium cafe prices for average execution feels unjustified but at least they use good temple coffee beans. Hopefully, they can work on improving the taste and quality to match their pricing structure. Otherwise I do like that it's kid friendly and has their own parking lot. Don't think I will be coming here again especially if there is a long line or a wait as there are plenty of other better coffee spots. If you don't care much about the coffee and care more about the pictures/aesthetics and just want a good atmosphere and vibe then this might be the place for you, especially since it's in the outskirts of West Sacramento.

Pros quality of food, love the coffee, the chai is to die for, breakfast burrito amazing, great beer list including NAs and the soft serve Decent prices Good menu Great location Inclusion of local products and holiday events Cons They seem to be in active denial that they are in the middle of a family neighborhood and literally attached to a playground. Families would love to see them embrace us and create a space where we can relax and unwind with the whole family without feeling like we are intruding. Perhaps more kid friendly offerings and a smile.

I've popped in here a few times with my coworkers for coffee and a bite. I've been here during the winter, no problem they have soace heaters in the patio. And recently I've been here on the first day of Spring, weather was still muld enough to enjoy the patio and the vibez. Fair prices, good stuff on food menu and delicious drinks. I have had their iced matcha several times and I always enjoy it. I've tried several food items and my favorites so far are the grilled cheese sandwich and the tuna melt. The bread is die for! This place is a gem.

Menu

Emile's Café is a tucked-away neighborhood gem with cozy cottage/farmhouse charm and clean, unfussy lines. The kind of place you can happily linger for an hour with a good book or a friend. Drinks: I had the butterscotch salted latte with extra foam and it was delightfully foamy, perfectly balanced sweet-salty butterscotch, and clearly made with care. My companion also had a latte and we agreed the drinks here outshine the usual corporate options. Food: The menu is simple and thoughtful. I ordered the tuna melt -- warm, melty, and satisfying -- and my daughter had a hefty Japanese-style egg sandwich with ham that was delightfully substantial. Their cookies are excellent (chewy with great texture). The cake in the case looked gorgeous -- dark chocolate with a drizzle -- and I'll be back to try it. Service and atmosphere: Staff were friendly and attentive without any corporate rush. The patrons were also very friendly -- we even ran into Girl Scouts selling cookies, so there are cute little community events that pop up. The space encourages lingering with comfy indoor seating and a covered outdoor lounge area, plus a tidy, well-lit counter and display. Extras: They sell unique little items and pantry finds that add to the boutique neighborhood feel. Bathrooms were clean and everything felt well kept. Will I return: Absolutely. Great butterscotch latte, solid sandwiches, standout cookies, and a warm local vibe make Emile's perfect for relaxed coffee dates or solo work sessions. Rating 4.5 stars -- excellent drinks and neighborhood charm; full five once I try that cake.

Avocado toast (5/5)
Lorraine M.

Such a wonderful breakfast/ brunch spot. We ordered the avocado toast, morning bun, and croissant. The coffee was really delicious. Ambiance is great, clean, so pretty! Fast and friendly service. We'll be back! I'm not sure why some places don't list their prices. It matters in my decision making.

Matcha latte
Joshua U.

Emile's Café in West Sacramento is an absolute gem! I dropped in not knowing what to expect. I ordered a matcha latte and an iced coffee with pistachio-cardamom syrup and both were phenomenal, not overly sweet. The café itself has that modern, minimalist vibe very clean with warm wood accents, it's a perfect balance of being able to be outdoors either for catching up with friends or getting some work done. The baristas were helpful and the service was fairly quick! Highly recommend checking this spot out.

I recommended this place to my friends and sisters and they all loved it. I was so happy they loved this place because it is really so cute and love supporting the restaurants in our city. We ordered the breakfast burrito, lox bagel, and the special raspberry mocha with oatmilk. I did bring my babies and this place is kid friendly which I so appreciate. I do miss the park outside though, hoping that reopens.

We came for brunch and noticed the ordering area was a bit small, but they have a spacious outdoor patio tucked behind the shop. When we arrived, there was a line, but we decided to wait since we had come all the way into West Sacramento. They also have their own private parking, which makes it really convenient. We ordered a latte, mocha, breakfast burrito, and Pullman toast. After ordering, they gave us a number and brought the food to our table, which was a nice touch. They use Temple coffee beans, and both drinks were smooth and satisfying. The figs paired beautifully with the toast, and the breakfast burrito was hearty and filling. Our toddler enjoyed both dishes and loved sitting outside. Overall, it's a lovely spot for brunch and definitely worth a visit.

Lox Bagel
Laine H.

On Saturday, my husband went to Emile's Cafe and came home with an indulgent spread of two delicious salted butterscotch and huckleberry lattes, a breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito, lox bagel with forgotten bakery bagels (the best bagels in the area in my opinion), and a chocolate pastry of some sort. Wow, wow, wow. I've never had a huckleberry latte but it was fantastic, the bagel with lox was so fresh, the pastry was so flaky and buttery, and my husband loved the breakfast sandwich (which came with a sweet aioli and jalepeno jam that was so yummy) - he enjoyed the burrito too. On Sunday, I went myself to Emile's with two girlfriends and enjoyed some delicious jasmine green iced tea and a yoghurt parfait (the granola was freshly made and so good!) The owners have done such a great job not only with the amazing food and beverage selection, but vibe was so warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment you walk in (probably because it's owned by 3rd generation West Sac locals - the same awesome owners as Whitey's!!).

So glad we chose this spot. The vibes and food is amazing. It's also dog friendly so a plus for us. I forgot what coffee order we did but we thought it was okay but still got the job done. Tree House Salad w/ Chicken & Avocado 4.5/5 Honestly this salad is exceptional. The dressing is super simple, nothing over powering. The trail mix of berries and nuts were nice added textures. The chicken perfectly seasoned. The avocado, I thought would be in slices but it's pretty much guac and it was super delicious. Tosses together and it was a very pleasant meal. It's also a hug portion enough for me to bring half home to finish later. Highly recommend if you're on a diet and need an alternative to a breakfast burrito. Breakfast Burrito w/ Bacon 4.5/5 My girlfriend ordered this and when I took a bite it was an absolute banger. It's got every texture and flavor bomb you'd want in a breakfast burrito. Bacon is crispy, tortilla nicely toasted with a soft cheey texture, tater tots nice and fluffy with extra added crisp, house salsa delicious and cuts through the richness, mashed beans helped give a creamy earthiness and eggs were perfectly cooked. It's fire and I highly recommend fixing your cravings here. Service 4/5 Friendly staff. They serve your order to you with a number stand. But everything else is self serve from water to cleaning up after yourself. Ambience 4.5/5 Mostly outdoors. Nice and casual dining. Decorations are nice and fun for photo opportunities. Great place to chill with your pup and read a book. Perfect for quick bites as well. Definitely coming back to visit when I get a chance. I didn't get a chance to get a photo of the breakfast burrito because it was demolished so quickly.

Disappointing service experience!…read more The café was very busy and street parking was difficult, with the public parking garage closed on weekends. I ordered the 16 oz cappuccino shown on the menu, but received a noticeably smaller 12 oz cup. When I asked about it, the barista explained that the cashier has two sizes and that I had apparently paid for the 12 oz. However, the menu showed only a 16 oz cappuccino at the exact price I paid. I pointed this out calmly, and the barista offered to remake it as a 16 oz, which I accepted. Unfortunately, while making the replacement, she spoke negatively to another staff member about the situation and then loudly called out, "HERE YOUR 16 OZ," which drew attention from other customers. I remained calm and simply wanted the order advertised on the menu. I like supporting local businesses, but I expect clear pricing and respectful customer service. The café has a casual atmosphere, outdoor seating, local beers on tap, and interesting seasonal drinks, but the overall experience felt disorganized and the interaction with staff was disappointing.

Greeted by a very nice person at the counter who took our order and brought out the food. It took a while and she was apologetic, but it was well worth it because everything was clearly made from scratch! Will happily go there again just to have another veggie breakfast crepe, which was absolutely perfect.

This is a long overdue review, but Lenise's Café is easily one of the best cafés in Sacramento…read more From the hospitality to the service to how quickly everything comes out, they truly do it all right. I came here for brunch with friends and had an amazing experience. The owner Jeff is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect with great service, great food, and generous portions. I couldn't even finish my meal and had to take it home, and it still tasted just as good the next day. I've also been here for a friend's birthday during their karaoke wine night and it was such a fun and memorable experience. This place is truly a hidden gem in Sacramento and deserves way more recognition. I highly recommend the tri tip sandwich with their au jus. It is so good. The fries are amazing and their menu has great options from breakfast and brunch to dinner. The steak and potatoes is another standout for dinner and their desserts are also worth trying. Lani is such an amazing person and the overall atmosphere from the staff to the customers just makes you feel welcome. I genuinely love this place and have to stop myself from driving all the way into Sacramento just to eat here all the time.

Their food is amazing and the ambiance is spot on. We were here today for the food. They were out of everything with the exception of the cheese bread. We ordered one cheese bread as they had them in stock. They did say they could make them for us and it would only take a couple of minutes. We had them make the following: Beef Risoles $6, Corn and Cheese Risoles $6. It did take much longer then a couple of minutes. We did hear him tell the next person that it would be 10 minutes, that was more like it. When our buzzer went off we went to retrieve our order and only the RIsoles were in the box. I asked him about the cheese bread and he was surprised we didn't get it when we ordered it, and then he proceeded to look though his computer to see if we really ordered it and or paid for it. I'm not sure what he was looking for, but after looking he eventually gave it to us. It would have been nice to have gotten it when we ordered it as we were starving. It was a bit weird trying to get it. I would understand if they didn't give it to us as they were going to make us a fresh one, but they didn't. All 3 were very good. I highly reccomend all of them. The Cheese and Corn one had a great cheese pull. I'm sad I didn't get a great video of the cheese pull. If you are seeking some water they have a water station. A faucet and glasses to use. They have a dirty dish tub in the back for you to bus your own tables. I accidentally put my glass in there and some of someone else's coffee splashed out. Gross The two of us shared all 3 and that carried us to dinner. They have a cute rooftop patio including an open bar. Last time we were here the patio was open, but the bar wasn't. This time it was closed for cleaning according to the sign. . The
