Boxed for pick up

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.

Seasonal menu

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!!).

Editing because i got a response on other social media platforms to my questions: A little torn on…read morethis review because...the price for what we got was good, and we love a fellow whiskey lover. We're really happy with what we ordered and the selection...But, YIKES. the process to pick up our order was SO confusing. So I'm split at 3.5 stars? So I guess just be prepared with what you're walking into. We ordered the Whiskey of the Month special online, which they push pretty actively through social media and their website, so we figured this was their preferred method and we've been wanting to check them out for a while. Got the email order confirmation which didn't really contain much info other than our confirmation, order#, and the note that "your order is being processed". So fast forward a few days later and we never received a note to tell us that our order is ready, so, we decided to call. First call we did, they told us to call back at 3pm. Okay, fine. Gentleman on the phone didn't sound like he could speak English all that well so we would try again later. Called back and they said "we don't have your order." We insisted that we had ordered online and were told, "we'll call back in 5 mins." We never got a call. We called AGAIN and we're met with the same rude "we have your order. Come pick it up." We didn't provide a name, an order number...nothing! So we just decided to drive over and pick up. Gentleman at the counter was on the phone the entire time and really seemed to be bothered by us. We had placed two orders but he didn't really listen to us so took a while to get him to understand what we were saying. Again...we didn't give a name or order number. Just showed him our email which he barely looked at. It was just all a bit strange. I understand this is a small business and possibly family run so my recommendation is that they possibly try and update the messaging for their order confirmations or add somewhere online that "your order will be ready in X amount of days" or something like that so that your customers aren't left guessing when we can pick up, etc. This will save your staff from having answer calls and your customers won't be confused

Roco west sac is maybe worse than the location in Folsom!…read more Today Roco did his Brown Box scam for $1000. Inside the box were 6 bottles that you could get off secondary groups for less than $1000. Roco is horrible and lies with his social media propaganda. Also, every store pick I've had from there is awful. Jason Ornellas has a horrible palate and has no business doing picks. And Ashley Ornellas is an uneducated scamster that pushes the Roco memberships to rob you of your money. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this store and don't make the same mistake I did!

We got a kid's meal for the little guy, it was a substantial serving of shrimp & vegetable tempura with a mountain of fresh sticky rice and a couple gyoza thrown in for extra measure. My wife and I shared a ton of stuff - appetizer was 'dragon mushrooms,' button mushrooms stuffed with crab and jalapeno cream cheese then tempura fried, (the size of golf balls, these things could've been greasy but instead were just unctuous) topped with delicious smoky shaved bonito. As for rolls, the OMFG was unlike any shrimp tempura roll I've had, topped with a subtly spicy unagi tuna mix. The Rainbow roll was vibrant and fresh and to round things off, the Winter roll had a deliciously smoky seared sauce atop a roll containing a healthy portion of crab salad, cream cheese, shrimp and unagi. Honestly, portions all around were generous and truly delicious. I haven't tried anywhere super pricy, but this was some of the best sushi I've had in town, including dine in (which, let's face it, is preferred for good Japanese food though not always possible).

Whitey 's Jolly Kone is like a straight throwback…read more I feel like when I was a kid there were spots like Whitey's everywhere, but today Whitey's is the last of a dying breed of restaurant. And I love it for still being here. If you ever talk to anyone from West Sac and you ask em about spots out there, it never takes long for them to mention Whiteys. This place has been open since 1963 and currently in its third generation of family ownership. I've been to Whiteys many times over the years and their burgers always hit the spot. They are so old school, they even make the old fried burritos I used to get in elementary school. These guys have a very classic menu. But the thing they are most famous for easily is every year for about two months a year from early July until late August/early September during peach season, they make their famous Peach Milkshakes. They are wonderful. People line up for up to an hour for a chance to get their hands on one of these peach milkshakes and when the season is over, it's over, no more peach milkshakes on the menu until the following peach season. As luck would have it, I've never been able to get my hands on one of these highly coveted milkshakes, that is until this year. My buddy and I headed down to Whiteys after spending the day gaming at an event in downtown Sacramento and we ran into a pretty decent line but it moved decently fast. Parking here is pretty contested when it's busy but they do have their own lot for their customers. After waiting about 25 minutes in line, we decided to order a feast. We ended up ordering the Whitey Burger ($7.65) and the Double Big Burger ($12.75), Onion Rings ($5.25), Curly Fries ($4.75), a couple of fried burritos ($3.75 each), Chocolate Shake ($9.00), Large Coca-Cola ($3.85) and the famous Peach Milkshake ($9.00). This burger spot is the type where you walk up to the window place an order, then go find a table then they call your number when it's time to come get your food. It took about another 30 minutes to get our food, as they were quite busy, for customers who just ordered milkshakes, it was much faster , like under 10 minutes. Funny thing, I've been here many times during "non-peach milkshakes" season, and they are super fast and usually no wait at all. Let's talk about the food. The burgers here are always great, it's probably the same burger my parents ate here and the same burger my grandparents ate before me. A menu item that's tried and true since way back-they are a great roadside diner-style burgers-got to love them. Between the onion rings and fries, both good but those onion rings are truly legit, I order them every time. I do have a thing for the fried burritos-this is not high class eating here, but dang are they tasty in a way a kid who is making his own snack after getting home from school thinks things are tasty. I will always order this item-haha. Of course the star of the visit was always the peach milkshake. And yes, worth the hype. The fresh peaches inside the shake gives this shake a richness and perfect fruit flavor that one can only get from fresh in season authentic fruit. This shake is a 10/10 item and worth the wait every time. I can 100% see why this item has become such a cult classic. Overall, I had a wonderful visit to Whiteys Jolly Kone and can't wait till next season to get my hands on another one of those peach shakes.

I think their food is a hit or miss. First time I came here I tried their big 1/2 pound burger on a…read moresesame bun with their house sauce (which is just mustard and mayo). The bun was so dry and the entire burger lacked flavor. Second time I came I got the grilled pepper and onion smash burger which was quite tasty. Wait times are literally terrible. First time we waited 30 min for our food after waiting 20 min to order. Second time we came, they said the wait was 30-40 min, we waited 1 hour and 15 minutes! Due to the long wait times I just wouldn't return, my time is worth more than that.
