    I tried this cafe while doing a coffee crawl and I'm so glad it was on the crawl. This cafe is so adorable and cozy in a shady quiet neighborhood. The inside has seating and when I went people were working on their laptops. They have a cute covered outdoor patio perfect for enjoying their drinks and food. I got the Agua de Jamaica Lemonade mix and it was so delicious and perfect for a summer day. The workers were nice, it was easy to find parking, and they also were selling artwork inside. I'll definitely be back!

    So colorful and warm

    Bueno cafe is such a colorful and vibrant cafe. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are friendly. It's like being at your Auntie's house, feels very family oriented. They have a case of really yummy pastries. The ham role was flavorful and toasty. The breakfast sandwich gives some options. I only wish the English muffin had been toasted a bit more and the cheese was a little more melty but it still did the job. We sampled the red velvet mocha, a must try especially if you like your coffee sweet. We also enjoyed the Carmelo latte. Not just your average Carmel drink because it definitely had some cinnamon and maybe other spices perfect for this rainy day. I would love to go back!

    #10 Pastrami Sandwich

    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.

    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!

    Chorizo and ham/cheese/jalapeño breads

    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.

    Strawberry Matcha and Honey Lavender Latte

    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!!

    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!
    Anastasia M.

    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!

    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.

Their selection is smaller than most grocery stores, but they still seem to have everything I need. I've actually started to prefer having fewer choices, especially when I know the products have been carefully selected. I can't think of anything I've bought here that has disappointed me. The employees are professional and take their jobs seriously. It feels like the kind of grocery store that still believes it has to earn your business by providing quality products and good service. It's definitely more expensive than a typical grocery store, but I don't mind paying a little more for the experience. For me, it's worth it, and I'm glad Sacramento still has a place like this.

Loads and loads of cheeses, cold cuts, domestic and imported. You need it, you can probably find it here. Their sandwiches are amazing. My favorite sandwich is the Corti special. It's huge, and it's fun. You pick the bread, you pick the veggies, you pick the condiments, they pick the meat. I can never finish a whole sandwich, I can only get through half at a time .. My favorite deli in San Francisco before they closed, was "Panelli Brothers, and they sold what was called, a "Panelli whatever.". Same concept. The special takes me right back to that. I will continue to shop here. Thank you.

My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go.

The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

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!
