    i ordered a sausage breakfast burrito and tbh it was just okay. a little too much cheese for my liking. but they had nice chunks of sausage in there. Very nice folks working here though, and extremely hospitable people! definitely gonna come back here for a bagel soon tho. prices here are very reasonable

    Not a big selection of bagels but it could be because it's a holiday and it was 10:45am when I went in. The Beagles I did get are delish. Place is small but clean and the lady helping me was very nice. I saw sandwiches and salads on the menu and they all sounded good .

    Small but mighty! That's the simplest way to describe it. Conveniently located off of Broadway the Small bagel shop has many different options. The owners are very nice and explain their items very well. I first came here a few years ago when my friend introduced it and I'm not sure why I never came back. It wasn't until recently this year. I came by now I'm hooked. My favorite thing to get is the breakfast sandwich on the jalapeño bagel. With a pack of their chili sauce it is amazing. If bagels aren't for you, don't worry they have plenty of other items. Some of the items include sandwiches, wraps, burritos, rice, and soups to name a few. They also have a lot of different coffee variations. Their coffee prices are much more reasonable than over half the places in downtown. They do have an outside patio as well.

    I was looking for something to eat for lunch. I found this place through yelp. When I came into the restaurant I was greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered a chicken breast sandwich on a bagel. I also ordered fruit. The sandwich was so good and very filling. The taste was phenomenal and the fruit was refreshing. The ambiance is customer friendly and the restaurant has a small deli vibe. The menu has some great breakfast and lunch options. This is a great place to go for a quick lunch or breakfast.

    River city bagels is a wonderful place if you are looking for bagels in near downtown/curtis park area. It's a small shop with side street parking up front and some outdoor seating. Bagels are delicious and fresh, there are so many flavors. I like the cheese and jalapeño bagels which tend to sell out. The cream cheese variety is great too. I honey walnut is amazing and packed with walnuts. The lox sandwich is tasty as well and you can have it on bagel flavor of your choice.

    Absolutely amazing bagels! these are fresh baked daily! they have breakfast bagels that are piled with fresh veggies! the service is great. the only downside is its small inside so you may have to wait outside! there is a courtyard to sit! best to call and order for pick up which is what the owners recommend!

    Today is my 5th time going here since I discovered this Ma & Pa shop. Their breakfast bagels are so tasty, filling and hearty. The customer service is 5+++! I will be back!

    Fresh made bagels before they open daily!!! This is one of my favorites the Pizza Bagel with garlic cream cheese. they make their flavored cream. Also Vietnamese coffee keeps you going all day, if you're looking for something delicious, local and fresh made unlike the others, come see Henry! Mark DMV HQ

    Stopped here on our way to the Sacramento airport and I'm really glad we found this place…read more Ordering was really easy. We were able to make an order online, and pick it up in exactly 30 mins, which was perfect! When we arrived, I immediately knew the sandwiches were going to be great. The deli in the back is extremely organized and they had signs everywhere with instructions on how to make an order or pickup. For the price, I don't think you can get a better sandwich anywhere else. We ordered a corti special and chicken parm and we'll be stopping by here again to get the same thing on our way back. Highly recommend!

This place had been here for decades, there was a customer that was telling one of the staff that he used to come here as a little kid and nothing had changed..... This place is AWESOME!!! Like taking a Time Machine to how supermarkets used to be. Great service, extensive and fresh food. The Italian roots and flavor are everywhere in the walls in decorations and antiques and the service. The deli was super busy and we had to wait a bit even though we ordered online but that is worth the wait. We came like at 3pm so can't imagine this place during lunch. Packed with people and the variety, freshness and quality is impressive. I had an egg sandwich....i know a little weird but it was delicious in a Dutch crunch. Bread was crunchy but soft just perfect. Wife had an Italian sandwich which was so full of meat and peoperocinis and other stuff she could only eat half. My daughter and husband shared a chicken parm sandwich and the Corti special which you pick bread and veggies and they put whatever meat they want. Kids loved their sandwiches and next time I am in Sac area I will definitely get the parm sandwich which was delicious. Very cool place and excellent service and the cost of the sandwiches???? "Forget about it"!!!! Wow so inexpensive would happily pay double and usually do at most other Deli's we have been to with half the flavor or size than this place. What a neighborhood gem, so jealous!

I've ordered numerous times over the years, but never have I decided to write a review until now. This place deserves your business, right in the heart of downtown it's simply a well-oiled machine making great food. The bread is always fresh, the veggies are always crisp, and the meat is always flavorful. I've ordered specials, standards, and everything in between and never been disappointed. The interior is rather unremarkable, but frankly it's not something I'm concerned with. You'll always have a nice view of the street corner from the large windows, it just feels a bit like home. I'll always recommend this spot over any other sandwich place in Sacramento, and I've tried them all.

The two gentlemen in front of me were getting custom orders and the guys making the sandwiches knew their order and were checking if they still wanted certain add ons.

Make sure you grab your drink and snacks before you hit the counter to order. The other big wind here was I got a free cookie. Sent a few colleagues here while visiting. Great place stop by for a sandwich. Trust me.

The sandwich was made well. It was neatly stacked, and everything was held in place. The bread was nicely toasted. Nothing was out of place. I really appreciate how much care they put into my sandwich. With some of the other sandwich shops, the ingredients are not slopped on, and everything looks sloppy when you get your order.

For those living in the neighborhood this is such a convenient spot. This is a smaller grocery store so you won't be able to find everything, but what they do have is plenty. There's fresh produce, wine, beer, shelf stable items essential to everyday recipes, and where they really shine is their deli and butcher area. They also have some prepared items like desserts, salads, dressings, pickles, dips, and more. On my latest visit I ended up ordering their Italian Hero ($11.99) from the deli counter, and picked up some of their pickles and house made caesar dressing. Everything was high quality and I loved that they have these options available. The Caesar dressing is delicious and I'll definitely be stopping in again for more. I've been using it on salads since picking it up. It had a good amount of parmesan cheese so The pickles have a very unique flavor, they're definitely tasty but not my favorite version of Dill Pickles- they are more tangy and zingy that traditional dill pickles, not bad just not what I expected. (I was thinking more kosher dill, like Claussen pickles or like the pickles you'd get at a Jewish deli). The sandwich was the star of the show, for $11.99 it was HUGE, the Italian Hero comes with prosciutto, mortadella, salami, roasted red bell pepper, and provolone- all sandwiches also come with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and pepperoncini. The combination of ingredients on Dutch Crunch bread was amazing and I think having roasted red peppers as an option is underrated, it elevates a sandwich so much. While I wouldn't do my normal shopping here, I would absolutely come for specialty items or pick up needed items for convenience. I'll be back again soon!
