Simple delicious menu. Quality caffeinated beverages. Shaded patio. Walking distance to a park. The staff here was really a breath of fresh air, the place was packed and all wheels were turning. Everyone in a melodic hustle and still with great attitudes. This place is one of a kind for Sacramento and long needed. read more

This cafe is beautiful. I love the look and feel of the cafe and the outdoor seating is beautiful. It is kid friendly and right next to a kids playground. The bathroom also has diaper changing stations. It is also dog friendly, so all are welcome To grab coffee/food with their pups outdoors. I ordered the matcha latte which was pretty good. I also ordered the breakfast sandwich which was also delicious and came with a really good sauce on the side. There is plenty of parking and the customer service was great too. read more

Had my first visit here about a week ago and had a lovely time with yummy food. The space is small inside but very cute and clean, they have a lovely outdoor space in the back and outdoor seating in the front as well which is where we sat. The service was quick and great. The food was rather tasty and fresh and the coffee was also delicious. I will definitely be back to try other things here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Emile’s Cafe - Vanilla Latte and a Butterscotch Latte - Cafes Near Me - West Sacramento, California

I googled a cute coffee cafe in west sac and this came up. It's in a neighborhood so I was a little suspect lol but still game. I ordered a spinach and artichoke pastry warmed and a vanilla latte with oat milk in a mug. The pastry was ready quick I devoured it 10/10. The coffee took a minute but she brought it out and in a cute little mug and it was a 12/10. Serious amazing it was so good. I'll be back. Oh there is a park and it's lots of kids. If you like that lol. read more

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. read more

Emile’s Cafe - Patio - Cafes Near Me - West Sacramento, California

Love the ambience and I'm thrilled to finally have a nice cute little eatery in the neighborhood. I appreciate that this café is relatively new, however, I think some of the efficiency and quality kinks should have been worked out by now. 1). This is the second time I have come to find a fly or two in the pastry cabinet walking all over the pastries they are actively selling. This time, I brought this to the attention of the staff as well as the supervisor on duty, and when they couldn't whisk the fly out, they simply shut the cabinet so they could manage the growing line as they continued to sell these same pastries from that same cabinet. 2). They need to hire more staff to support the higher weekend traffic as the wait times just to place an order are too long 3). Third time I have come where they have run out of Matcha powder. Maybe increase inventory for the more popular items. read more

Absolutely love being able to walk to this cute relaxing coffee shop in my neighborhood. The food and friendly service is perfect for my morning routine. They also have special events that I will be trying to attend in the future. I highly recommend this West Sacramento coffee shop, come and take a seat in the the covered outside area it is truly a gem. read more

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. read more

This coffee shop completely won me over with both the seasonal menu and the atmosphere. I'm an easy target for seasonal drinks and treats, so naturally I ended up ordering almost everything from the menu (2 summers in a row), and honestly, it was all worth it. One of the standout features of this spot is definitely the outdoor patio. It's beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and such a relaxing place to spend time. As a parent, I especially appreciated that the kiddos had space to safely explore while I could actually sit, enjoy my drink, snack a little, and catch up with a friend. Everything about this space feels intentional and welcoming, from the house-made syrups to the inviting atmosphere. Such a great local spot to relax, enjoy quality coffee, and spend time with people you love. Seasonal Menu Review: The maple pecan iced latte was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The strawberry toast was fresh, delicious, and paired so well with the coffee. Then I noticed they offered soft serve and immediately ordered the strawberry shortcake flavor, which was such a fun and tasty surprise. read more

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. read more

Emile’s Cafe - Avocado toast (5/5) - Cafes Near Me - West Sacramento, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!!). read more

The food is incredible - I can't stop thinking about the breakfast sandwich! The croissant bread is heavenly, toasted perfectly, with a soufflé egg and cheese that blow my mind.

Visited Emile's Cafe for the first time on a late weekday afternoon and had a great experience! All staff were friendly and welcoming. Super cute cafe with plenty of parking and outdoor seating located in the West Sacramento area. I ordered an iced vanilla bean latte with oat milk and it was delicious. You can absolutely tell they make their own vanilla bean syrup, which I love. I also ordered the peanut butter and honey sandwich. It was really good and glad I ordered it. They also a few other food options. The breakfast burrito appeared to be frequently ordered while I was there so I'll have to order that the next time . Can't wait to visit again when in the area! Highly recommend Emile's Cafe! read more

Since this cafe is locally owned, we decided to give it a try. The prices were pretty steep and the menu is limited. They are working in a tight space which explains the limited menu. Since it is small space it is also very stuffy and hot which made it harder to enjoy the drinks - even iced. We ordered the peach latte but there wasn't any sign of peach flavoring. The sandwiches are standard - nothing stood out except the price. There is plenty of parking so that's a plus. Staff are also pleasant which is always a perk. They have merch for sale but it's just hats and shirts with the name of the cafe on it. read more

I love Emile's Cafe and I had the greatest experience here earlier this week. When you first get here, you are greeted with a space that looks like a modern day barn. With a blue/turquoise logo and red umbrellas out front, it gives it a nice pop of color that makes this place so Instagrammable. I would say the inside is mainly for ordering and waiting for your drink if you're taking it to-go, but it's perfectly laid out to where you don't feel cramped inside. There's indoor seating, but who wants to sit indoors when THERE'S AN ENTIRELY BEAUTIFUL BACK PATIO TO ENJOY! This was probably one of the few main reasons why I wanted to check this place out in the first place. If there's one thing about me, I LOVE me some outdoor seating at a cafe. They have a big open space and lots of shaded seating, perfect for gatherings (in fact they hold reserved events here sometimes). I love that the patio faces the trees. If you just ignore the houses being built off to the right, you literally feel like you're transported into a cafe in the woods. I cannot wait to be here during fall and read a book here. Onto the service and food-- Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I got to do a quick interview for socials and speak with Kevin and he was such a gem of a person. I ordered an Iced Vanilla bean Latte and a croissant from their pastry rack. I usually order the vanilla latte as a safe coffee because it's a classic, and I'm glad I did. There's just some places that do coffee right, and this is one of them. The croissant was soft and had a perfect flaky crisp on the outside. I've been searching long and hard for a place in Sac that sells morning buns, and THEY HAVE IT! You'll definitely see me here again soon to order that and some actual breakfast and lunch items the next time I'm here. Overall so good, and deserves so much more hype. They have a decent parking space, but if you come during peak hours, be prepared to just park on the street and walk right on up to the cafe. read more

I love the staff and the location. And, the coffee is pretty good too. However, I've been here a few times and the pastries are always stale. I thought it was a fluke so I gave them a couple more tries before leaving a review. I don't think it's right to serve stale pastries to customers (unless you're selling them as day olds) it's so disappointing because the look so pretty but then are dry and hard and taste like maybe they've been refrigerated. I hope they work this out. read more

We had the blueberry vanilla bean loaf special and flat whites and both were amazing.

5/5 This cozy cafe was the perfect way to start our morning -- everything exceeded our expectations! Food We both ordered the breakfast bacon sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted, the bacon was crispy, and the flavors came together beautifully. A hearty and satisfying way to kick off the day. Drinks We tried two iced lattes: the vanilla bean and the peaches & cream. * The iced vanilla bean latte was smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. * The peaches & cream iced latte was sweet and refreshing, but the peach flavor was pretty subtle. It was still enjoyable, just a bit more understated than expected. Atmosphere We chose to sit outside and loved the peaceful, natural surroundings. The outdoor seating area is a great spot to relax, enjoy your coffee, and take in the fresh air. Service The staff was friendly and efficient, and our food and drinks came out quickly. Overall, we had a wonderful experience -- delicious food & drinks, a serene atmosphere, and great service. We'll definitely be back to try their lunch menu (offered after 11am) and bring along our pup since they are very dog friendly! read more

There's a wait. Only two tables inside; the rest of the seating is outdoors (100F in the summer). The food is very tasty and upscale. The cafe is beautiful inside and the patio is stylish.

I'm pretty torn about this review because Emile's has so much potential! Came around 9:30 am on a Sunday and the parking lot was super crowded- it's shared with the playground, so understandably busy. We were able to get a spot after looping around twice. There is residential parking, but down the block. Inside is super cute but fairly small- we waited in line for about 15-20 minutes. On our way out the line was wrapped around the building! We ordered and went to go sit on the back patio, which is super spacious! They bring the orders outside and call your name so you don't have to wait inside. What we got: Almond croissant- they get their baked goods from a bakery in Oakland, but I think we got a bad batch. There was very little filling and it tasted like it had been toasted then left out. Hard and a little stale. Breakfast burrito- love the concept, but it was severely under seasoned. Used the entire salsa container and could've used another Hot oat milk mocha- I love a hardly-sweet mocha, but you could barely taste the chocolate! The foam was also a little too bubbly for my taste Iced vanilla oat milk latte- this is my go-to at every coffee shop to gauge for quality. They use temple coffee beans, which is awesome, but this wasn't really anything special. They advertise a house made vanilla bean syrup, but I think it's just plain vanilla- no bean pod flecks. Total after tax and tip was $36.03- a bit steep for the quality. I'm wishing them lots of success and will give them another try after they've had time to settle in! read more

Really wanted to love this spot but I don't think I'll be back anytime soon! It's such a cute place, a bit of a random location and a bit of a drive for us, and the best part is there is a playground and plenty of outdoor seating - great for families! But unfortunately the drinks just didn't meet the rest of the standards for us. I'd probably give less stars if it wasn't for the nice ambiance. My Peaches and Cream latte had zero peach flavor whatsoever and was just too watery in general. The regular latte was the same, which was disappointing since we thought it would be good, since they use Temple Coffee. Maybe they need some more time to adjust their recipes, and I'd love to go back and update my review at that time. read more

My recent trip to Emile's yielded a nugget of info that made me appreciate them even more! Their pastries are awesome. Like I don't know where they get them but I must find out awesome. Living in the Sacramento area I haven't really found pastries that wowed me (exception being Ginger Elizabeth's). To be fair, I lived down the street from b patisserie in SF for over a decade so I am admittedly spoiled. But my first croissant at Emile's made me pause because it was delicious with a buttery, crispy light bite that I hadn't had before. Turns out, they source from a Bay Area bakery. I didn't quite catch the name but it made me happy to know that I could grab a well made pastry and a coffee here. Even more reason to go! read more

Great neighborhood cafe with beautiful patio seating and quaint coffee shop with light breakfast/lunch options and pastries. I tried the peaches and cream latte which was $8. I thought it was on the higher price range given they use beans from Temple and not their own beans, but you can tell the quality of their homemade syrups is great. I also got the turkey sandwich during their lunch hours. It was okay - slightly dry but good quality. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. Very limited seating inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Great place to hang out with friends but not so much study since they only have 1-2 outlets outside. read more
