    Veggie Pesto Crepe
    Lillian H.

    Good place to sit down and dine or for a quick bite. Service is quick. There's limited indoor seating but plentiful outdoor seating. It's a cute cafe located in the same plaza as my taekwondo's class so I come here quite often. My son loves getting the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough here. I request no butter on the bread to be a bit healthier and he loves it. My go to is the veggie pesto crepe. It's fulfilling and big enough to share with my kids. The potatoes are my absolute favorite in this dish. It's crispy and covered in cheese. The only turn off is that they resell and repackage Costco products including bars and baked goods. For a cafe, I was expecting homemade baked goods really.

    Was dropping my dog off at the VCA and stumbled into this quirky coffee filled with patrons on a Saturday morning. It's clear this is a local gem as everyone seems to know each other. The decor has artwork for sale and a Parisian theme. Everyone behind the counter is warm and friendly. I had their spicy mocha a peanut butter cookie that was soft and fresh. The coffee was yummy.

    French dip panini special
    Michelle D.

    Met a friend here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. As soon as I walked in a was greeted and directed to where the menus were located. After looking through the menu and making a decision, I went back up to the counter where you place your order with the cashier. I placed my order, received my number sign and sat down at a table. There is quite a bit of seating inside and outside as well. It was chilly so we sat inside. It was cozy and they've decorated for the holidays. I ordered the French dip panini special (has a few more things on the panini like chipotle aioli and grilled onions. It came with the au jus to dip the panini in. It was delicious and I pulls order it again. The flavor was fantastic and the aioli elevated it. I also had an iced mocha which was on the sweet side for me but still good. There is plenty of parking in the lot. And everyone in the restaurant was very nice and friendly.

    Cafe Omelette

    The more I go to Lenise's, the more I enjoy the quiet atmosphere and friendly service! It's a bit tucked away from the main road and seems to be a local favorite in West Sacramento. I usually visit on weekends with friends and I like that they have a strong variety of meals for all types of dietary needs! I'm a big fan of their wraps and omelettes personally! The portions are generous and the pricing is reasonable. Would recommend if you're in the area or by the dog park and looking for a bite to eat! They also have a dog friendly outdoor section!

    Iced Dirty Spiced Chai
    Candace C.

    Cute little cafe nestled inside a shopping center in West Sac. I met a friend for a meeting and ordered the dirty banana chai (blended)...absolutely delicious! I believe the young man who helped us was named Owen; very nice young man. I did not have a meal but my friend's meal (see pic) looked scrumptious and enough to feed three or four! The pastries looked amazing as well as the menu offerings so I will be returning. Love the outdoor patio with the comfy seating also.

    Their are so many options here to choose from. The workers here really makes sure to have options for anyone (even vegan options) and really cares about their customers and making sure they have a good experience eating here. As far as the food, I've never had any complaints, everything's made to order, fresh ingredients and parking... their is lots of available parking (unlike going to midtown and having to pay for it). If you're looking for a clean cafe, with good parking, kind workers who make food/drinks fast, and wanting to support your local small business, Lenises is the way to go. I'll be back very soon!

    Chicken Pesto Crepe, soOoo good you guys!
    Joey B.

    I checked this cafe out due to a work-friend recommendation. I am impressed by the cafe's decor, which reminds me of a time when I was on vacation in Paris last year. The hospitality, cleanliness, service, and food (sandwich, crepe, wrap, appetizer, lunch/dinner menu) were immaculate. There are also a variety of drink options to complement your food. However, food for thought: This is not the type of "cafe" where you will need to feel full. This is a cafe, not a restaurant, so know the difference and get educated rather than being a keyboard warrior. LOL! If you want to feel full, go to a sit-down restaurant or a buffet, or dine at home. I hardly ever get full when I go to Starbucks or Dutch Bros. LMAO! Pros: -Friendly Staff. I was greeted by Jeff who worked at the Cash Register and Andrei who served me my meal. I was checked once in a while to see how my meal went or refill on water as I was dining outside. -Great place to go on a date. -Has outdoor sitting. -Plenty of parking -Clean bathroom -They do catering as well for your work/home/special occasion needs. Cons: -NONE! Now, the question is, will I be back? Most definitely. After my meal, I had a Matcha Tea Latte to-go, and the drink was perfect to end my Chicken Pesto Crepe, which wasn't too heavy on my stomach! Which I liked. Thank you!

    The dining area
    Markus R.

    The location is good for the area. It's deep in the heart of south West Sac (Southport). It's a bit far from the freeway but close to many surrounding neighborhoods. There are a couple of shops in the shopping center. The service is amazing! The owner is extremely friendly and made a small conversation with us. All the people eating there seemed like "regulars". This really is a divey hole in the wall breakfast spot. They had many options for food and drinks. Although it was slightly busy when I went, our meal came out quickly. The flavor was really good. My eggs and toast were cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount. I know you can't get toast wrong but I thought their bread and butter was fantastic. The prices are also good. You can expect to walk out of here for around $20 for a meal for two making this a ($) for me. Bottom line/TLDR: amazing customer service!

    Mexican mocha
    Aneida R.

    A local favorite that I've been meaning to try for some time now. The coffee was really really good and well prepped. The burrito and bagel were on the dry side and just ok. Nothing to rave about really. Not bad, but not good. The crowd at the time which is no fault to the restaurant didn't make me feel welcomed. Sometimes that happens in this used to be small town. The locals get a little snobby but the newer generation is very welcoming My main issue with the burrito is that everything seemed like a separate bite. One bite of a big raw tomato, then one bite of a lightly cooked spinach, then one bite of potato. It didn't appear to be intermingled. Anyways, I'll give it another try but I just won't be rushing back.

    Honey latte
    Felicia P.

    I have been here more than a handful of times...mainly breakfast and brunch times. Such a cute spot and they host a variety of fun events too like live music, karaoke, etc. Still haven't made it to one, but hope to someday. This particular day I stopped in after getting a mani next door at Tina's Hair and Nail salon (yes I gave them another shot). I was starving so ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and subbed in Cheddar cheese and also added potatoes per the suggestion of the cashier. It did not disappoint! Their breakfast burrito is also extra healthy with the addition of spinach, bell pepper, and fresh tomato. It was a nice, fresh surprise. I should note that this is an order at the counter then grab a number and seat yourself inside or outside then they bring the food to you. There is a line at times and they get kind of busy, but not too much to scare me away. I ordered a large honey Latte. I asked for nonfat milk but they only had 2%...that's ok- just a splurge day for me. Love this spot and service is pretty great. Look forward to checking out an event/happy hour sometime.

    Strawberry, Chocolate, Caramel and whipped cream crepe
    Nancy E.

    This place is a nice neighborhood cafe. The servers are warm and welcoming. I ordered a strawberry, caramel, whipped cream crepe, topped with chocolate. It was pretty good. Although, if I had one comment, I would say that the crepe was cold when I ate it within 2 minutes of receiving it. As well, the whipped cream was a not as whipped as I would have liked. Overall, I would rate this place a location I would come back again and try something else on the menu because of the service and the coziness of the location.

    Came to Lanise's cafe hoping to find a good crepe and they delivered! The baked goodies were amazing, and the food was delicious!! Cute cafe and the friendly staff made the visit there even more enjoyable! Highly recommend this cute, friendly and yummy cafe!

    The place is super cozy and great. The service is amazing! They are very friendly and attentive. I been coming here for coffee but now I wanna try the food. They have baked goods and it's very delicious.

Another waitress comes by and wipes every bit of crumbs and dirt right onto my lap, irritating. I wiped my lap very obvious and she apologized. My bf ordered a fanta when we were asked about drinks and given about 10 mins to look over the menu. I ordered the Munga Munga (i believe that's the spelling) in burrito form and informed the waitress no feta as I have a dairy allergy. I saw her write it down. My bf again asked for the fanta and she said yes of course. We waited maybe 10-15 mins and out food was out. My bf still didn't have his fanta lol and my burrito came w feta- able to see bc they cut the burrito in half. I noticed right away and they took it back to remake. At this time my bfs fanta comes. Less than 10 mins later I get my refire. This particular omelette was supposed tp have Louisiana hot link sausage but it must've been cut very fine bc I could barely see any meat and there wasn't any flavor to it at all. I added some tobasco and pepper but I'm thinking I should've added salt too. Cool. I ate maybe half of half the burrito and a few bites of hash browns (that also had no flavor) and was ready to go. Less than 4 hrs later I had awful cramps and diarrhea. It's clear they don't take allergies seriously here. My bf ordered chicken fried steak and he said it was delicious tho. Me personally, I'm good on coming back. Food thrown out, they likely cook eggs in butter or mix egg beaters w milk.

The mac and cheese was rich and homemade-tasting, and the house chips with salsa and beer cheese dip were a great addition. Our friends ordered the mac-and-cheese grilled cheese (yes, really!) and devoured it, and the Reuben was also a huge hit. Definitely an 11/10 experience. We'd absolutely come back if we're in the area again.
