    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Seasonal Menu (Feb. 2026)

    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.

    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!

    Quiche Lorraine
    Jared H.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pincher Bug Seasonal Galette
    Traci N.

    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.

    Salmon Tartine & Lavender Mocha.
    Reza B.

    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.

    Reena S.

    GET A CROISSANT! Don't leave this place without one! They make it from scratch here, roll it up and bake it! Loved our chocolate and apple croissants. Coffee is good, flavorful and unique. Cute cafe overall, great service.

This hidden gem offers an experience that's unlike anything else in the city. The setup is simple but charming: you literally walk up to a window and order your wine. I believe it's one ring for white, two for red, and three or four for sparkling--don't quote me on that, but it adds a playful, old-world vibe that makes the whole experience memorable. The Wine Window is affordable, laid-back, and surprisingly quaint. It's the kind of place where the ambiance, the people, and the energy make it feel more like an experience within an experience--not just a drink stop. I had the chance to chat with John, the owner, who shared a bit of the backstory. He previously owned a full wine room nearby, but when the pandemic hit, he had to pivot. Instead of calling it quits, he leaned into a smaller, more intimate concept inspired by wine windows in Europe. Honestly, I think the scale makes it even better. The outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while people-watching on L Street, and yes, there's even a restroom available (a rare but very appreciated amenity for this type of setup). If you find yourself downtown, do yourself a favor--swing by The Wine Window, have a chat with John, and enjoy a unique Sacramento experience.
