Stopped by one Saturday afternoon for a mother and daughter impromptu date brunch before my baby shower in West Sac. Loved treating my mom to a new experience! She ordered the Quiche Lorraine and raves about it daily. She also ordered an ice tea with cherry limeade that was so refreshing. I opted for the butter lettuce salad with a creamy dill sauce, and it was literally the perfect salad. Cute little spot with friendly staff. Can't wait to bring my mom back! read more

As a Sacramento girl who love trying new and local spots, I was really excited to check out Franquette after me and a friend did a long walk through downtown, over the bridge, into West Sac. Unfortunately, the experience was pretty disappointing. We showed up on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy, but the service felt unwelcoming from the start. We were told to order at the counter, asked about a few menu items that ended up being unavailable, and placed drink orders. No one mentioned that happy hour was about to start until later, which would have been helpful to know. We ended up sitting back at the bar waiting to order food during happy hour, but no one came over, acknowledged us, or let us know it had begun. There was little to no interaction overall, no check-ins, no small talk, no asking us if we wanted to order the food we talked about, and it honestly felt like we were an inconvenience being there. Honestly one of the stranger experiences I have encountered in a while. I was really looking forward to a refreshing drink and something good to eat, so the whole experience was a letdown. We were both honestly kind of appalled and left feeling disappointed. I love supporting local spots, but this was just so disappointing. I get that everyone has off days, but the whole experience felt strange and off-putting. I wouldn't go back. Such a bummer. read more

Franquette - Wine Bars Near Me - West Sacramento, California

Franquette was a nice surprise for brunch on our Saturday morning! While on our way to a different restaurant, we were hit by marathon runner traffic and decided to go the other way which took us to Franquette. Franquette is located in West Sacramento near the Sutter Health Park and across from Drake's Brewery. Parking is on the street so that might be an issue depending on how busy the surrounding area is. The inside is on the small side, but there is counter seating as well as patio seating. Interior was nice and modern, but still felt inviting. Bathrooms were also very clean! We ordered the Blueberry Crumble Croissant, Croque Madame, Salmon Tartine and French Toast. I also ordered a Butterscotch Cold Brew from their seasonal menu. Everything was fantastic - truly took all of us by surprise! While everything was great, we really loved the Croque Madame - it was perfectly cooked and seasoned! The coffee was strong and not too sweet - just the way I like it! I almost ordered another one so I could take it for the drive home! Staff were friendly and hustling with the long line that never seemed to end. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Franquette other than I'm kicking myself for not visiting sooner! We will absolutely be back very soon! Check them out! read more

The food here is delicious! Everything is so fresh and has amazing flavor. The bread is all homemade. The pastries are amazing and you can watch them being made. The quiche and the croque madam are the best! Really cute small spot (counter service, beer and wine and great coffee) with a great atmosphere. read more

A divine French dive, us Indiana guys dropped in after not seeing working for another brunch spot we had decided on. What a win to end up here with exquisite quiche and croque monsieur breakfast entrees both making the salad and French toast dull and drastically underwhelming by compare. I haven't had texture and rich wake up flavors from a simple quiche before. Was about to ask my friend how his croque monsieur tasted but it disappeared before I had the chance, answered the question for me! This is a neat corner cafe in what looks an emerging side of Sacramento, some street parking, outdoor seating, and tidy industrial chic indoor atmosphere complete with easy going staff. read more

Such a cute cafe. It was very quiet on a Friday morning. Americano was delicious. My friend enjoyed her tasty oatmeal, although she didn't like that it was cold. Seating is very cute and comfortable. I must come back to try more items. There also seems to be a lot of regulars from the neighborhood. It feels homie! Also very clean. read more

Came here for breakfast/brunch with a friend and I am so glad she suggested we come here. She had been here before and was raving about it, and provided great menu recommendations. Franquette is bright and beautiful on the inside, has table/booth and bar seating inside and outdoor table seating. They have various food options including quiche, ratatouille, baked goods, pastries, coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages like wine and beer. I ordered their seasonal butterscotch latte and quiche Lorraine. My friend got the butterscotch cold brew and baked ratatouille. Both of our meals were absolutely delicious! My quiche was perfectly baked, savory, with a delicious crust. My latte was the right amount of sweetness. My friend also enjoyed her drink and meal. I will definitely be back to try other times, I don't think there's anything you could get that wouldn't be good. read more

On a weekend morning, Franquette in West Sac was extremely busy and seating was scarce. It seemed to be all paid street parking around from what I could tell. I ordered the following: Seasonal Galette, Quiche Lorainne, Walnut Croissant, and a Latte. I thought all the food items I tried were just good to average...I've for sure had better at other bakeries, which was disappointing since I came in with high hopes. I requested two of the items as to-go the counter where I ordered, but the items were brought to my table on a plate and I had remind them. (No big deal.) Service was nice overall. You pick up your drink at the counter, but they'll bring out any food items to your table. There's an area by the trash on the inside to clear your dishes. I'd return for a coffee and the relaxing setting, but not in a hurry to do so. read more

Can't believe we haven't been here sooner! What a cute little coffee shop and even more impressive food and drinks. This place wasn't really on my radar because it seemed like more of a wine bar. We decided to check out their coffee/breakfast in the morning and it did not disappoint! They are a little bit hidden in a residential building in West Sacramento. Great lighting in the morning and outdoor seating for when the weather gets warmer. They are right across from a dog park so we saw lots of pups outside and people walking in and around the neighborhood. The toasted pecan latte had the prettiest latte art. The tiramisu latte was my personal favorite, I finished it up so quickly! The Greek yogurt cold foam was the perfect addition to this drink. I thought it would be too tart but the generous amount of cocoa dusting was a nice balance to that tartness. Highly recommend checking out their food menu also, we loved the seasonal potato kale galette and the french onion soup! The galette pastry itself was super flaky and fresh. I loved the creamy potato and kale mixture inside. The french onion soup was so hearty and a very generous portion - perfect for two to share with another dish! It even has braised beef inside - all french onion soups should come with braised beef from now on! It was so comforting in the cold weather. You can tell they really care about the quality of their food and drink here, even down to the silverware. Great service and I can't wait to come back for the next seasonal menu! read more

This was my first time at this establishment and I was surprised how busy it was on a Saturday morning. I ordered the Quiche Lorainne and it was tasty. The egg flavor was very strong so I would only recommend this dish if you really like eggs. The ham complimented the fluffy and barely cooked eggs well. It took a long time for the dish to be served even though it was not freshly cooked since the temperature was slightly warmed. The pastry crust was very flakey and buttery. There is on street parking which requires payment. Service was good as the employees were friendly. Most of the items on the menu are priced higher, however the quality is good as the items are fresh and baked to perfection. read more

Sunday, 1/25/2026 - @ Franquette in West Sacramento, CA. Very small inside. Across the street from Drake's: The Barn. Pros 1) cute, small, quiet, intimate. 2) clean tables. 3) server very friendly. 4) foods good. 5) you can order drinks and a few items to eat. Had the Croque Madame and that was good. But bread was pretty thick. 6) there is outdoor seating. But it was too cold to sit outside this day. Cons: 1) not much seating inside. 2) parking is hard. Street parking. $2.00 per hour. 3) Conclusion Cute place. Not much option for food order. But enough. A few drinks. It's clean. Quiet. Nice staff. read more

Consider this: you are going to the ballpark for a game and decide to walk along the river before the game starts. You didn't bring food or drink because you're going to get a dog and a beer at the game (like every good fan does), but you are hungry now. Look no further than Franquette, the French-inspired wine bar with some of the most carefully designed dishes to go along with a great selection of wines. The ambiance is light and airy with abundant windows and friendly but selective decor. To complete the experience, the restaurant's burly owner can often be seen helping with general operations while the kitchen is championed by an outstanding chef whose menu is always tasteful and satisfying. My favorite mealtime there is breakfast where they have outstanding Croque Monsieur (that's a ham, cheese, and mustard melt). At this time (while the A's are in town), they are serving sausage dogs, fixed up with Rhineland toppings. Five stars with ease. read more

BEWARE and STAY AWAY! Look at the large pincher bug baked into the seasonal galette! When I brought my plate to the front counter; the attendee stated "are you sure it's not from sitting outside?" No apologies or I'm so sorry; only we will refund you were said. Needless to say I have not seen the refund in my account. I had high hopes as this cafe is owned by Michelin recognized CANON Restaurant in East Sacramento. Poor service. read more

I finally made it to this place. The service was great. I came alone after running some errands. It's a cute & quaint spot. I came at a perfect time and found parking right in front. I ordered the salmon tartine & a mocha lavender. Let me just say that it was EXACTLY what my would needed today. Everything was perfect. I think the prices are reasonable considering the quality of food they are serving. Great spot to come by yourself when you just need some time to yourself or with a couple of friends for a low key environment. I'll definitely be back. read more

Every-time I come by I am amazed at the quality of the items. By their flavor, and appearance. Absolutely no misses on any of the food I've had! The combination of the ingredients makes for the perfect flavors in every bite. It is a little pricy but makes sense with the high quality dishes. I also am obsessed with the decorations. The outdoor seating is lovey and the indoor is great for getting work done in a relaxed environment. The barista Fiona is super kind and makes amazing lattes! (Right now my favorite is the creme bru latte). Cant wait to try more new seasonal items as they come out! read more

Super cute and trendy brunch spot with a vast variety of wines and pastries. Parking can be tricky and modifications are not always possible with dishes. Unsure of the vibes , but definitely go back to figure it out . Try the quiche! So good :) read more

That moment that you're craving simple pleasure, you want Franquette. That moment that you're craving that perfect bite, you want Franquette. Franquette is located in West Sacramento, and is just what the name implies, " without fuss". The menu like the name of the restaurant is pretty simple. There are a few beverage/coffee type drink offerings, and a handful of brunch/lunch offerings. Food is presented in its simplest form. This isn't the fancy let's get dressed for brunch restaurant, but more of the come feel at home and enjoy our food vibe. And that we did... This is a great place to gather with friends or even a simple date spot. If you think that simple means you're not going to enjoy it, I'm here to tell you that the food here is excellent. Yes, not only was I surprised, but I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Beverages and food are ordered at the counter, and the customer is given a table number, and then the customer seats themselves either indoors or outside on their patio. I will process this by saying that I absolutely love quiche, and I've been hard pressed to find a delicious quiche at any of the local restaurants until now. Order the quiche. You will not regret it. Seriously order the quiche. It was without a doubt, the most delectable quiche I've had. Each bite is magical. This is one of those dishes that you'll crave. It sounds crazy, but you need to try it. The quiche is creamy and delicate, and yet flavorful all at the same time. The crust is buttery, and the pesto cream on top just packs in another layer of flavor. The quiche is magical. It's spinach and tomato, which may sound off, putting, but it's truly delectable. While the portion was filling, I absolutely could have eaten more. It's that good! Parking is street parking, and depending on the time of day you go, should be fairly easy. The staff is pretty nice, and they keep glasses and a huge cold water container for customers to help themselves. The simplicity of the style will pull you in, the sinfully good food will keep you coming back. read more

Charming Parisian vibes and aesthetic for days -- I want to love this place. The owner‑barista who made my caramel‑pistachio latte the first time was warm, precise, and served one frosty, perfect cup that made me come back. Trouble is the younger red head barista seems checked out and unfriendly, and my drinks since haven't landed the same way. I'm sticking around for the cozy vibe and hoping the original owner's on shift next time, but honesty: inconsistent service keeps this from being a five‑star every visit. read more

Food is very good here. Drinks are amazing. The whole cafe itself is so aesthetic and adorable. The only downfall was that there was a whole SPIDER in my cold brew coffee. They did end up giving me a new one but it was pretty disgusting to see that after drinking it :/ read more

First time in to Franquette, evening meetup with a coworker. It happened to be a home game for the A's that night, so event parking was busy. Snagged Street parking via ParkMobile good for 2 hours. Indoor seating was full, so we sat out on the patio under an umbrella -- it actually sprinkled rain so this was useful! We were too late for happy hour but each had a glass of sauvignon blanc and shared some small plates of quiche, cheese, and meat charcuterie boards. Service was okay, and we stayed until they closed at 8pm. I might return someday for their breakfast fare. read more

This is across the street from the Barn. It's a tiny space with not a lot of space for a large group. Best for two people or three. If you want a large group, best to get things to go and sit outside someplace to eat. The food is delicious. The portions are rich and large. They make fresh croissants, flavorful latte's. The dream is a latte or cappuccino with a croissant on the side. Would definitely come again. Mostly self order and food delivered to your table. read more

I have not been here in over a year and was excited to be back. With the A's moving to Sutter Health Park this cafe is getting ready for the crowd. When I enter the cafe around 10 o clock on a Friday morning, I was surprised that the cafe was packed. Luckily I found a seat at the bar. I ordered the chocolate croissant and a cappuccino. When both arrived, I was able to satisfy my craving, yet I felt like the cappuccino and croissant didn't do the job. The croissant was cold and wasn't flaky and the cappuccino was just average. The employee was nice though and checked on how I was doing. The service is outstanding can't complain about that, but felt the food and coffee quality went down. Hopefully this was just a miss for this visit, and the quality remains the same. Would be back though to give this place a second chance. Can't beat the environment. Still one of my favorite cafe's in the Sacramento area! read more

I just realized I've been to Franquette four times and still haven't left a review, how did that happen? I absolutely love this little spot. It's my go-to when I'm heading to a game at Sutter Health Park. The wine selection is fantastic, and the small bites hit the spot every time. They even have Happy Hour starting at 4pm! Bonus points for the cookies and croissants, they're always tempting. You order at the front, and they'll bring everything out to you. If you're not sure what to drink, don't hesitate to ask! I did that when I was torn between two wines, and the staff was super helpful with recommendations. I keep joking with my colleagues that one day I'll find a condo nearby just so I can make this my regular hangout. Love this place! read more

I stopped by this place during my last trip to Sacramento and decided to stop again to show my husband. Again, this place was tasty as heck. I had their seasonal walnut cinnamon latte. It was okay. My husband enjoyed his dirty chai. But man the food here is top tier. We had the croissant, the croque madame, and the French toast. First of all super shout out to the chef. He was managing numerous orders expertly and attentively. We were seated at the bar and were just flabbergasted at how efficient he was! My husband loved his French toast and the croque madame was simply delicious. Perfect place to stop by and have some fantastic food. I see this being a usual visit when we travel. There's a bar around the center with a few tables and then plenty of tables outside. Very cute. Plenty of street parking. You can pay and park for up to two hours. read more

Love love love this place. Located near Sutter Health Park & across from the barn, this cafe is a local gem. I've mostly gone for brunch. The seasonal coffee concoctions, the baked goods, the quality put into classic dishes like Croque Madame & simple biscuits and butter. Deliciousness. Great for conversation, a delicious cup of coffee and wanting something consistent and solid. The baked goods are excellent. In the summertime, their chilled wines and small plates are a formidable option. I hear the do dinner plate specials too, but haven't been. My only regret is their hours aren't as flexible. But that's just them making me want to come back for more. Sometimes I've noticed inconsistency with service staff, but overall a delight and delicious offerings. read more

My coworkers and I came here for our coffee date. Cute space in The Bridge District near the Barn. Parking was easy on a Friday morning around 8:45am. Ordering was a breeze. Drink choices not too overwhelming. Lots of breakfast food choices. My coworker ordered a cold tea that was purple from the seasonal offerings. My other coworker ordered an iced coffee and a food item that looked delicious. I ordered an oatmilk latte that was pretty and tasty. The dining area was comfortable and stylish. This place is a cafe during the day and a wine bar later in the day. Would visit again! read more

Pop in here every once in a while for a quick bite or coffee on the go. You can tell there is a lot of intention and creativity behind their seasonal food and beverage programming. It's a truly hidden gem that probably won't stay quiet for much longer with all the housing popping up around it. Wines by the glass vary in value for the price imo but overall, a great experience every time. read more

I was so excited to finally try this modern French café and wine bar in West Sacramento's Bridge District. I even drove about 30 minutes to get there! The area is fairly open and quiet, with what looks like loft-style residences above the café. Street parking was easy to find, which was a plus. From the outside, Franquette is absolutely beautiful. The floor-to-ceiling windows give it an airy, clean, and modern look. Inside, it feels fresh and bright, very inviting. The only thing that surprised me was how tight the ordering area is. You're basically standing between tables by the window and the cashier, so it can feel a bit crowded. I ordered an iced chai with oat milk (no soy offering), and on the staff's recommendation, my friend and I both got the vegetarian quiche. It was a gorgeous crisp morning, so we sat outside at one of their small metal tables with a lovely view of theTower Bridge, definitely the highlight of our visit. The drinks came out quickly and looked great, but the quiche took quite a while, which was unexpected since it seemed like it would just need to be warmed. Presentation was beautiful, and the flavor was rich and savory, maybe a bit too rich for me personally. A few hours later, I unfortunately didn't feel well. I can't say for certain what caused it, but the experience made me hesitant to return. Everything looked fresh, so it might have just been an off day or my own reaction to something in the dish. Overall, Franquette is a stunning café with a modern French charm, friendly staff, and great attention to presentation. The prices are on the higher side, which I wouldn't have minded if everything had gone smoothly. The view and atmosphere were lovely, but given how the visit ended for me, I don't plan to go back. read more

I have frequented here for years and it's still my go-to on relaxing weekend mornings. Their Potato Quiche is the absolute best. The staff have always been friendly and willing to explain items that I'm unfamiliar with. The seasonal coffee flavors are delicious. Today, I tried the Butterscotch Latte as an iced drink. They had a lavender-infused one before that was also a favorite of mine. We tried a different quiche today with bacon and caramelized onions and their seasonal galette. The patio is dog-friendly. Space inside is limited, but it adds to the cute, French cafe charm. Parking is super easy. The parking lot nearby is less than a block away and FREE for the first two hours. You can choose to park on the street and pay a meter, but it doesn't make sense to when there is a huge, nearly empty parking lot within a very short walk. read more

The salmon tartine is delicious. Baked ratatouille with sourdough is amazing! The pain perdue on the weekends is such a decadent treat! They also have great coffee. All the classics and a few seasonal coffee creations. Service is friendly and helpful. They handle a lot of orders during rush times so sometimes orders are mixed up. But that is understandable.

I've come to Franquette for the coffee before (so good!), but this was my first time getting to eat here. Everything was so good! The quiche is pretty custardy which threw us off-guard but it was so rich and flavorful. All of the aiolis and sauces were to die for. My favorite dish was the summer tartine with heirloom tomatoes! Even though it was a little warm outside we enjoyed sitting on the shaded patio. Love the beauty and calm of the Bridge District. Service was also prompt and everyone was so nice and answered all of our questions. So excited to come back for more food and good vibes! read more
