    Beautiful place. Reminds me of home. I stepped in and instantly felt at home. Everyone was so nice and kind. Food was delicious and drinks as well. The art work and vibe of the place was absolutely happy and nostalgic. I appreciate having places like this in the area to go to. Thank you Bueno Cafe and staff yall amazing!

    #10 Pastrami Sandwich
    Rachel K.

    This has become a regular stop for us. It's a great place for a quick stop in for take out, or to sit down for a meeting or to hang out with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the whole building is open, bright and welcoming. The team here is friendly and they have a good variety of drinks and food available. On my latest visit I opted for the Coco Loco mocha (16oz $7.50) and a pastrami sandwich ($16.75). I love that there are murals all over the walls in the cafe and it's a really cute spot. I took my sandwich and drink to go and both were tasty.

    Strawberry Matcha and Honey Lavender Latte
    Theresa J.

    As part of the Sacramento Café Passport, my friend and I decided to try out Bueno Cafe. I got the Honey Lavender Latte and my friend got the Strawberry Matcha. First, parking was pretty good although we were here on MLK Day. Both drinks were good and there's also a deli with sandwiches. Good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside. Service is great, they bring the order to your table! Plus, there's music playing inside, but not too loud. Try this place!!

    Was looking for a new breakfast spot when my bf spotted this on his map. First impression- cute little cafe with plenty of outside seating in the shade the girl at the counter was super nice and helped us decide what to get. We each got an americano (hot and iced), tried the chorizo and ham/cheese/jalapeño breads. Americanos were decent- the 24oz one was comically big. I really want to try their specialty lattes. The buns were SO GOOD. They warm them up for you and are the appropriate size for a good breakfast. I couldn't decide which one I liked better but be warned that the ones with jalapeño are actually spicy. The chorizo one has eggs and cheese. Both of the breads were so soft and delicious. The best sandwich- got it in a bolillo with pepper jack. First bite was a flavor explosion. So good! The peppers and onions were fresh and although the bolillo could've used a little more toasting, still had a slight crunch. My bf wished it would've been slightly bigger especially for the price. Overall- will return. We want to try more of the menu! looking at you, conchas.

    My bestie and I recently checked out this cute coffee shop that had a cozy vibe and a really charming exterior. They have a nice selection of coffee and pastries, including Mexican bread, but I was a bit surprised to find only one breakfast option on the menu--seemed a bit limited for a coffee shop. The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcome, which definitely added to the experience. One of the highlights was the local artwork on display; I had a great time browsing and even ended up buying a few pieces! It was a bit chilly since the door was open on that cold morning, so while it wasn't the warmest spot, the cozy ambiance and unique touches made for a lovely morning catching up with my bestie.

    Bueno Cafe is a nice little unassuming neighborhood cafe in the very walkable downtown Sacramento. Picked up a coffee here, but there were plenty of options to choose from, including espresso, matcha, and mochas.

    Went on a coffee walking tour hosted by Weekday Social Club and this was one of the shops we visited. This was one of my top favorites on the tour. The owner was personable, knowledgeable, and the coffee was really flavorful, including the eggnog that he added to the coffee. The atmosphere is pretty and laid-back and right within the neighborhood so really appealing also, I want to give a shout out to Carlos who was there with great stories and a cool personality. Go check them out have some coffee and eat some of the pastries.

    This cafe came highly recommended to me, but left a little disappointed in my order. I ordered the horchata cold brew. Coffee was basic. Horchata flavor not really present. Cafe decor was cute. Customer service was just as basic as well. No warm greeting, no thanks, just took my order and handed it over. Not bad, but not a place I'd come back to when visiting Sac.

    A nice and frothy Macadamia Latte in my own mug!

    What a great little coffee spot! Located on the corner it has nice outdoor seating and a colorful, comfortable interior with a wall painted with Hispanic icons. I had the Macadamia Latte, which was delicious, and eyed the pastries, which I will definitely try next time! And that next time will be soon!

    So glad I decided to try this place out. Outstanding customer service, the coffee is bomb and the vibe is legit down to earth and homie. I wish I lived closer, id be here daily!!

    My White Mocha

    February 2025 and i am looking for the best place to get conchas in Sacramento. Spot 3 of the year and I doordash a concha from Bueno Cafe for breakfast. I decide to try a latte and pastrami sandwich because I dont wanna just door dash a concha lol. So I place my order... super excited, and i get a dang cookie instead of the concha I ordered !!!!!!! Definitely dissapointed beyond beyondness. All is forgiven because the pastrami sandwich looks and tastes amazing. The white mocha exceeds my expectations of even my favorite coffee spots. Door dash is hit or miss, and when I googled the place it said the volume of business was higher than usual; so, I'll give this place another try for the conchas.

    I had high hopes for this cafe, but it fell short for me. For starters, ordering is extremely confusing. There are at least 4 different menus that are spread out throughout the restaurant. So, it was very difficult to understand all that you could order. The pastry case had no labels, no idea what anything was until I asked a worker. The empanadas I ate were alright, very dense, just not my preference. I ordered a latte and it was nothing special.

    My husband and I walk by Bueno cafe often on our morning power walks and after months of temptation, we finally stopped mid walk to try it out. The atmosphere is vibrant with a down to earth artsy vibe. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors. As we sat outside and listened to the chatter around us you could tell this was a friendly neighborhood style gathering spot. People seemed to know each other and the mood was happy. The service was friendly and on point. On the second Saturday you can find vendors setting up and this time they had an awesome bongo drummer. Don't let the humble appearance of my pictures fool you. These breakfast sandwiches were doggone tasty! You choose your meat, cheese and sauce. (Pesto, Chipotle or Garlic aioli) Mine was delish with pepper jack cheese bacon and chipotle sauce. Husband loves a vegetarian breakfast sandwich and asked for the pepper jack cheese with garlic aioli. They were each unique and equally delicious. The price was very reasonable coming in about 3 bucks lower than most coffee shops nearby. We tried out their Mexican Mocha and a black coffee both very good -with a Mexican pastry that tasted like a yummy scone. Overall, I can say with confidence that we will return. Tucked into a lovely neighborhood, Bueno Cafe hit all the marks for a great experience.

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!

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!
