    Salmon Sunrise Bagel
    Monisha M.

    I love discovering new cafés and bakeries, and today I discovered Café 33. From the outside, it looks like your ordinary café, but once you walk inside, it's surprisingly spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with art and games. Our server welcomed us with a warm smile, which made the experience even better. They have plenty of options for food, drinks, and desserts. One thing I absolutely loved was that they had samples of all their cakes. I got the red velvet cake with a chai latte, and he got the Salmon Sunrise bagel, and a cold brew coffee. Everything was perfection. The vibe was super cozy and comfortable. The only downside was the parking structure since there aren't many parking spots available. Overall, this is a very nice café, and I'll definitely be coming back.

    Pepperoni Pizza Pastry
    Stephanie D.

    I stopped by Cafe 33 on a Sunday morning with some friends after seeing reviews on Yelp. I had the Pepperoni Pizza Pastry and friends had croissant sandwiches. It wasn't super busy, but had a few other customers. The Pizza pastry was flaky and delicious. It came with a side of a spicy thousand island sauce. I wish it was a bit larger for the $10 price, but it had good flavor. My friends were pleased with their croissant sandwiches and we decided to return soon to try additional items. I saw that there is a chess set and games available to play, so that may be another thing that will draw us back. The Cafe serves Peet's coffee and tea as well. This place is definitely worth trying.

    What in the actual French?!
    Smash T.

    Half a kids meal worth of chicken tenders and flavorless waffles for $15. No flavor all around, how are the pictures on yelp so deceiving?! Save your money and skip.

    I had an amazing time at Cafe 33. The interior is gorgeous, the food and pastries we got were very unique and tasted good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful because there are so many items to choose from! My favorites were the biscoff cheesecake and the California croissant. I want to come back soon just to enjoy the ambiance & cool games I saw. Highly recommend!

    Me and the fam at cafe 33...we here with other helpers for a first time visit.

    Found this place on yelp while in the area for a a trip to the flea market. Being from out of town we were excited to try a new place. Our first impression was the coziness of the cafe. You can feel the holiday spirit. Board games for the families is a great way to bond and put down your screens. We saw a couple playing battleship (it was their first time eating there too). Another family was playing cards and we were about to start a game of chess but they called my name for our food!! Food was a 3.5/5 Ambiance was 5/5 Service was a 4/5

    Chorizo croissant
    Anthony C.

    Had the chance to try this place out and I am so happy I did. I ordered the chorizo croissant and it was delightful! Picked jalapeno added a wonderful texture to the great flavor. Very filling. Over an hour later I was commenting how full I still felt. The place is very cute and inviting. Not at all what I expected when walking up. Staff was super nice. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're in a hurry. It's a nice place to go to slow down for a few and enjoy good food and coffee

    Carrot Cake
    Courtney O.

    This review is solely based off of a Door Dash order: My husband and I ordered the Salmon Sunrise Bagel, Sausage Sunrise Croissant with Tater Tots, a slice of Carrot Cake and 2 iced coffees - a Black Tie and a Havana Cappuccino. I opened up the container for the Salmon Sunrise Bagel and was extremely underwhelmed - it was a un-toasted plain Bagel with nothing on it but Salmon, cream cheese and capers. The description and picture on Door Dash looked NOTHING like what I received - it was supposed to be a toasted Everything Bagel with salmon, cream cheese, capers, tomatoes and onions. It was terrible and not worth the $9! My husband only took about 3 bites of his Sausage Sunrise Croissant before he tossed it and the Tater Tots were nothing special either. They also got one of the coffees wrong - we ordered a Black Tie coffee and we ended up receiving an iced Vanilla Latte. The Havana Cappuccino was decent and the Carrot Cake looked okay (we had yet to try it before this review). I can't comment on their service or ambiance since again, it was a Door Dash order, but I have no desire to visit their actual location based off the lack of effort they put into my order - just shows they don't care at all. Nowhere near worth the $50 I spent for a wasted meal - thanks for nothing!

    Cafe 33 ambiance. Clean and comfortable
    Sophie R.

    Clean, well lit and comfortable with a family friendly atmosphere. The garden bagel was delicious with an egg on top. Delicious balance of fresh vegetables (tomato, onion, cucumber) that topped the cream cheese. The sweet Persian pastry reminded me of ones that my Bosnian grandmother made--light sugar syrup soaked filo pastry with a crunch of pistachios sprinkled on top. The pastry (while delicious) was a bit dry, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it with my espresso. A lovely spot for a quick brunch with efficient and fast service.

    Place is cozy, food was decent. I had the tri tip chimichurri sandwich and strawberry matcha latte. Service could use improvement.

    Chicken and waffle
    Hong T.

    I was there on a Sunday morning around 10ish. This place was half filled, somewhat quiet and cozy. They serve Peet's coffee drinks so I'll skip on reviewing the drinks. I got the California croissant and chicken w/ waffle. I'm big on croissant sandwich but I have to skip on this one next time. It was good but the waffle and chicken were BETTER! The Cali croissant was filled with avocado cheese, eggs and very few slices of bacon. It'll be better if the croissant is slightly more crispier. The waffle was amazing! Along with the chicken which was tender and juicy. It wasn't overcooked or too dry at all. It comes with a good amount of syrup! Yum!

    Came for some breakfast at this beautiful café as soon as you walk in it is super bright and inviting staff is super helpful and kind. They have a beautiful seating areas for you to choose from and the natural light really beats in so it's a perfect spot to get some work done study or really just enjoy the day. You can get some food, coffee, teas or even pastries which they do have cake slices and they are delicious

    I love a tasty breakkie sando, and I especially love one that's on a buttery croissant. Just like magic, I discovered Cafe 33 in the Arden Area of Sacramento. It's an unassuming restaurant in a strip mall, that you'd easily drive past. Don't. You'll be missing out if you do. The interior is comfortably decorated, and I like that it's not a cookie cutter seating. Each table is different. The menu features a variety of delicious sounding items, and the croissant Sando's all sound really good! I ordered the loaded turkey. OMG! It was everything I wanted and then some. Freshly sliced turkey, crisp bacon, light fluffy scrambled eggs, tomato, avocado, and a house made aioli. I would have preferred regular mayo. I did need to add salt and pepper. It's a pretty generous serving, albeit a tad pricey, it's very filling. Cafe 33 also offers desserts. The case has a variety of yummy choices, and we of course had to try one. The cake slice was $5.00, WORTH IT! It's a really reasonable price, and a must try. We ordered the carrot cake. I like that it was nut free! Well, it was a pretty tasty offering, there's something about a more traditional carrot cake that has the raisins and pineapple in it that I really enjoy, and this missed that mark. Ordering is done at the counter, and you pick up your food from the counter, so they don't offer table service, and customer service is not fabulous. It is a great place to go on a date, with family or friends, and yes, even kids! If you have not tried this hidden treasure, you absolutely should if you love a good croissant, brekkie Sando!

    Visited yesterday with high hopes after seeing all the glowing reviews, the place looked stunning! Unfortunately, things took a turn as soon as we stepped in. We were immediately hit with a strong "wet dog" smell. As dog owners ourselves, we love dogs and know what they smell like--especially on hot days--and we couldn't help but wonder why it was so noticeable indoors. That initial impression was disappointing. We noticed the kitchen door in the back was wide open, leading to an outdoor area. A very cute puppy was freely running in and out of the kitchen, where food is being prepared. Our first thought was: is this sanitary? We figured maybe the door would be closed soon. We totally understand how brutal Sacramento summers can be, and the need to manage heat and energy. But between the strong odor coming from outside and the dog running back and forth into the kitchen, it just wasn't an ideal situation. Keeping the door shut might have helped with both the smell and the heat. I ended up stepping outside while my partner ordered food to-go. We truly love supporting our local spots and want to see them succeed--but we also believe in leaving honest reviews. Maybe this was just an off day, but unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the hype.

    Great coffee from Peet's!

    The food was average. Nothing to write home about. Service was also average. We asked our server 4 times for water. No exaggeration.

At the end, we ended up seating outside and all the time wasted could have been to help other people. Our server was friendly, but since we were outside she would take awhile to come outside. The meatloaf was a big plate and my husband could not finish it. He did say it was a bit salty. The shrimp and grits were great (would recommend). My son's chicken tenders were great as well and looked homemade and not like it came from a frozen bag. There is paid parking around the area. It was a 60 degree day but with jackets on, the weather felt amazing. When we had stepped into the restaurant it had felt too stuffy, so I am glad we got to seat outside.

We were seated outside which was lovely, especially given the weather and the slight breeze. I appreciate that they offer an option for reservations. 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.

I waited over 30 minutes for two drinks that took roughly three minutes to prepare. The employee only started making them after I asked whether my order was ready. Her explanation was that they don't make online orders until customers show up because some people never come, or because ice might melt. That's not how mobile ordering works. The entire reason people order ahead is so the drinks are ready when they arrive. Instead, my order was apparently ignored while I stood there waiting with no communication whatsoever. If customers are expected to announce themselves before their order will even be started, that should be clearly stated when ordering. Otherwise, this is just wasting people's time and defeating the purpose of the service entirely. Extremely frustrating experience.

They have breakfast and lunch available and had an impressive menu for what I thought was just a bar. We asked our server what she recommended and she said the waffle fries and French toast are great. While we passed on the French Toast (this time- I'm more of a savory breakfast person) we did get waffle fries ($7) and their Zebra Special ($15.50) that comes with two eggs, meat (ham, bacon or sausage), hash browns, and choice of toast. We paid a little extra to get a biscuit with gravy instead of toast. We also ordered jello shots for the group and it was very fun having morning jello shots with breakfast. They have a lot of televisions here and seem to serve as a watch party destination for a lot of sports fans. They also have an outdoor area, which is great for groups, but we also noticed that the small of people smoking wafted into the inner dining area from outside which was a drawback for me.
