    Adorable little spot that o stopped by to grab a coffee. I got the nube d horchata and it was really good. It tasted like actual horchata which when horchata is made into any type of coffee drink can be very hit or miss so I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is adorable and while I didn't have any food this time, I would definitely be back to try.

    The horchata was so great! I got the moleta and I loved how seasoned the meat was. The employees were kind and explained the foods. The restaurant was very cutely decorated!

    Really loved this spot. The location is nostalgic and beautifully decorated, it truly feels like you're stepping into your abuelita's house in Mexico. Such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They offer Café de Olla, traditional Mexican coffee. It is on the sweeter side and pre-made, but still very delicious. I stopped by for a cafecito mid-afternoon and there was plenty of seating with fast service, especially for a Sunday, which was nice. They do offer breakfast items, though I didn't get a chance to try them this time, definitely something to come back for. One thing to note is that the restrooms are shared/connected through the alley with nearby establishments. It would be nice to have an additional restroom, especially during busy times. Overall, I definitely recommend this location. Great spot to grab coffee and then take a walk around the neighborhood afterward.

    Cozy, warm, feels like mg abuelas home. I am sooo happy when we went here. My best friends from the bay visited Sac and we all wanted to try Abuelas!! The coffee and the menudo is thhhhe best menudo. We got the pot to share and it just feels like a warm hug. So here is the set up: you order first, order everything you want because they do run out!! Pick a table and enjoy. I will be back for sure!! Weeeeee love it so much.

    This was unfortunately a huge letdown for me. I was super excited to try out some Mexican pastries and hot chocolate for the first time. When I came in, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave me a complimentary coffee and concha. I didn't drink the coffee because it usually makes me jittery, but the concha was a bit lackluster. It was subtle in flavor, but I mostly tasted the powdered sugar (or whatever it was) on the outside. It was also a little dry. I bought one of the pan dulces (ojo de pancha) and a hot chocolate. The pancha was hard as a rock and lacked flavor. I wasn't a fan of the hot chocolate either. It was less of a chocolate taste and more of the spices they had in it. I was really disappointed with this visit. I had high hopes. I might come back and try their meals, but I'm not sure.

    We stopped in looking for coffee and ordered a cold horchata latte and a hot specialty drink (forgot the name). Unfortunately, neither was what we expected -- the "latte" seemed more like pre- brewed coffee with sweet flavoring instead of a true espresso-based drink. The hot one was overly sweet and we couldn't get through even a third of it. That said, the breakfast dishes coming out of the kitchen looked great, so we need to come back and give the food a try next time. They have cute indoor seating and nice outdoor patio as well. We will come by again and hope to update this review with more stars ! Great to see new fun cafes opening in Sacramento. Friendly service , street parking only .

    I initially saw this place on the news, then found it it was trending on TikTok, and had to come check this place out. Abuela's Midtown is a beautiful cafe/brunch spot housed in a historic blue Victorian home. The interior is decorated to feel very homey, and definitely gives you the vibe of stepping into your abuela's home. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well-- a patio out front and two table areas on the side of the building. I love all the bright colors in this cafe, because they do it just right. Bright colors, warm ambience, making it a cozy spot. Right when I walked in, I was greeted immediately. The two people helping me up front at the register were very nice and helpful when I asked about some of the menu items. I asked about the cafe de olla (something I've never tried) and they let me try a sample of it! It's very cinnamony and they serve this to you in a traditional clay mug if you're not getting it to go. The red chilaquiles did not disappoint either. It comes with 2 eggs made your style of choice and toasted bread. Will def bring my friends the next time I visit!

    Who doesn't love a hearty, home-cooked meal from abuela? I stopped by Abuela's last Sunday while flying solo - my boyfriend was out of town, I didn't feel like cooking for one, and I had a serious craving for chilaquiles. After a quick Yelp search for local spots (I love discovering and supporting small businesses), Abuela's immediately caught my eye. The few photos already posted were just too cute to resist! When I arrived, I learned they were still in their soft opening phase. There was a bit of a line, but it moved quickly, and the staff was warm and welcoming. As of now, it doesn't seem like they accept reservations, but I hope that becomes available in the future - I can already see this place getting popular fast! I ordered the red chilaquiles (instead of green) because I'm a bit spice-sensitive and usually prefer the milder option. That said, I still found the dish to be a bit spicier than expected - mainly due to a generous amount of onions, which gave it a sharper kick than I anticipated. So, if you're like me and your nose starts running at the first hint of heat, I recommend requesting fewer onions when you order. I also tried Café de Olla, which had a lovely spiced flavor, but I forgot to mention that I usually prefer my coffee less sweet (I often sub Splenda or other sugar alternatives). So, for anyone who's watching their sugar intake or managing diabetes, be sure to ask for sugar on the side or inquire if they have sweetener options. The ambiance at Abuela's is truly something special- cozy, cultural, and charming. The decor is thoughtful and inviting, capturing that comforting "at grandma's house" vibe perfectly. Seating is a bit limited due to the space, but they offer indoor and outdoor options, which is always a plus. I visited on a Sunday, so parking was easy and mostly free, which made the visit even smoother. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and can't wait to return to try more dishes. With a few small adjustments to my order next time, I know it'll be an even better experience. If you're in the area and craving comfort food with heart, Abuela's is absolutely worth a visit.

    Tamal con huevo
    Jenn H.

    A very cute, small spot in midtown Sacramento. The place offers a few tables inside and out. We really wanted to try the chilaquiles torta but they unfortunately were out of the bread, maybe we got there late. So we ended up getting the tamal con huevo. The tamal, egg and beans were good. I did think they put just a bit too much salsa on the plate, I felt as though they were attempting to make the plate look more full than it was. The cafe de olla was a bit of a let down, tasted a little too acidic for me personally. We also thought it was sad they didn't offer hot chocolate but maybe we just didn't see it.

    First time here, the mocha iced coffee with horchata cold foam was AMAZING!! I had the tamal with over easy egg that was good. Hubby had horchata latte with chilequeles. The restaurant was clean and decorated really unique. The service was quick and friendly. You should definitely try this place!

    This visit has been well overdue! First off, their location is in prime midtown so parking is going to be a a bit of pain. The interior is beautiful and feels so nostalgic for all Hispanic folks. Plenty of seating inside with some space in the back as well. Staff were super friendly and really take the time to make sure you understand what your food comes with so that there are no surprises. I order the chilaquil torta, cafe de la olla. Warning though, your food can take up to 20-25 mins to be served to you so be prepared for that especially when it's busy. The cafe de la olla was delicious and not overly sweetened which I appreciated. However, the torta didn't come with much chilaquiles. I really wish it did as it definitely would have made a difference with the overall taste of the dish. Overall, I do recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast and/or lunch!

    I stopped short of licking my plate!

    What a wonderful little treasure in Midtown! While there is no shortage of Mexican food in Sacramento, Abuela's has captured a special aspect of our cuisine-- Abuela's food and the loving touches reflected through the whole space, that as a Mexican kid growing up going to my Abuela's house, takes me right back to her kitchen table- down to the decorative vinyl tablecloths on the tables!! The service is lovely, eager to please to make sure you have a great experience. And the food-- excellent cafe de olla and the chilaquiles are just like the ones at home. Freshly prepared, crispy tortillas, not over-sauced (a mistake a lot of places make!), perfectly cooked eggs on top, drizzled with a little crema, a sprinkling of white onions and cilantro, a light shower of queso fresco and a piece of bolillo (Mexican baguette ) is the perfect last touch to a plate that needs nothing else. I can now head out to the airport for my flight back home with a tummy full of yummy food and looking forward to my next trip back to visit my Abuela's kitchen again.

    Went here for breakfast on a Friday morning. Very friendly. We ordered, our drinks were brought out, and then food shortly after. Cozy indoors and cute indoor/outdoor. Horchata was so warm and yummy! Chilaquiles was perfect as well, some of the best I've had! Must try spot!

Many brunch places do not do those nowadays, which I hate. Every brunch requires a coffee. I appreciate that they do lattes here, rather than just hot or iced coffees. They had some unique syrups, such as bourbon caramel and praline. The syrups were on the more subtle side, which some people prefer. I am not one of those people, but it was a good latte for a breakfast/ brunch spot. I wish there was more ice tho.  The skillet cornbread with sharp cheddar, creamed corn & garlic, honey butter & house made seasonal jam on the side was a great starter dish. I enjoyed the garlic and cheese. The temperature/ toastiness of this was yummy.  We couldn't decide between the cornbread and the sticky bun, so the only obvious solution was to order both. The topping of the sticky bun was delicious. It was almost pecan pie adjacent.
