There was lots of parking right in front of the restaurant that made getting inside super convenient. There was plenty of room for us to sit at a large table with our babies in high chairs & strollers nearby. Inside the cafe is decorated very nicely. The staff were so kind and welcoming too. I ordered a mocha and the sweet cheese crepes. My mocha was the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolatey! I savored every sip. The real star of the show though, were the crepes. They were perfectly soft but with a slight crisp on the outside just like I like them. The filling was sweet but not overly and was well balanced with the slight bitterness from the berry topping on the crepes. Overall the ambiance, food, and accessibility make this a great spot for brunch! Will definitely be coming back.

A Great Breakfast Stop After a Hike in Auburn! We came here…read morefor breakfast during the week after a hike in Auburn. We had just finished the Lake Clementine/Dam hike and were very hungry afterward, so we headed into town and ended up at Mario's. First of all, Mario's is a very pretty space. I loved the black-and-white aesthetic and the simple but thoughtful décor. There's bar seating, booths, and tables both inside and outside. Parking is plentiful, so that's definitely not an issue. I started with a regular latte, while my cousin ordered a chai latte. My latte was beautiful and served in a very original, deep, low cup that I absolutely loved. It was delicious and just perfect. Unfortunately, the chai latte wasn't really to our liking. It didn't taste much like chai to us--it had a strong cinnamon flavor and a combination of flavors that made it difficult to tell exactly what we were drinking. So, the chai was definitely not our favorite. For breakfast, I ordered what I would call their breakfast sampler, with eggs, bacon, and hash browns, which also came with a portion of French toast. My cousin ordered their Monte Cristo sandwich. My eggs and hash browns were amazing, and there was plenty of bacon! I chose all bacon, and it was thick-cut, smoky, and cooked to perfection. The plates here are HUGE, and the portions are definitely abundant. My cousin's Monte Cristo was their lighter take on the classic. Instead of being deep-fried, their version is dipped in batter and cooked, which makes it a little less heavy. It looked beautiful and had plenty of ingredients inside, but for us, it was just okay. We've definitely had better Monte Cristo sandwiches. Now, the French toast... WOW. This was easily my favorite part of the meal. The bread had this delicious cinnamon-sugar coating on top that took it to another level. Add the soft, fluffy butter and maple syrup, and it was absolutely superb. That French toast alone would bring me back! I also appreciated the nice, cold ice water that was kept at our table throughout the meal. Service was super nice and pretty quick, especially considering how busy they were. I also loved how many options they give you to customize your meal. I could choose between different types of bacon, sausage, or turkey, and my cousin was able to customize her sandwich and ended up choosing cottage cheese to go with a healthier, higher-protein option. They also have sweet potato fries, regular fries, and plenty of other sides that you can substitute depending on what you're looking for. The ambiance was great, everything was clean and well maintained, and even the bathrooms were in good condition. Overall, this was a very good breakfast experience. Not everything was a home run for us, but the service, atmosphere, generous portions, customization options, and especially that French toast made it a place I'd definitely recommend if you're in the area. And after a hike? Even better!

O Cafe has a charming French café vibe, the kind of place where the dessert case immediately…read morecatches your attention and makes it almost impossible to choose just one thing. I picked up the raspberry mango mousse, key lime pie, and madeleines to go, and everything was delicious. The raspberry mango mousse was light and fruity, the key lime pie had that perfect sweet and tangy balance, and the madeleines were a great little treat to take home. Their desserts are beautifully presented, and everything I've tried here has delivered on flavor too. There's something fun about browsing the case and picking out a few different pastries and desserts. It feels like a little taste of a Parisian café with a little Fair Oaks personality mixed in. Rex Tip: Explore beyond your usual order and try something new from the dessert case/ menu they never disappoint. And if you sit outside, don't be surprised if a few chickens wander by your table! They're part of the Fair Oaks culture and charm, and honestly, they're pretty cute. Just plan your visit because they close early: 5 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, and 3 PM on Sunday. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

Comfy, earthy cafe with plenty of food and drink options!…read more Visited on a Sunday afternoon after taking an exam nearby. Service was friendly and helpful. My order was finished quick. I picked up my drink across where I ordered and then I picked up my food from a separate place when the device they gave me buzzed. What I ordered: * Chia seed pudding $7 - coconut chia seed pudding with coconut flakes, strawberry jam, and granola. Generously stuffed into a round container. Delicious. Inspires me to make chia seed pudding at home. * Hot earl grey creme tea $4 - I added honey. Perfect balance of citrus and black tea flavors. Came in a big paper cup, but had the option of having it in a tea pot and pouring it myself. Note they have a card surcharge of 2.9%. I was able to find a comfy seat with a round table. There were a lot of people but still enough seating and not too loud inside. The music was relaxing. Loved all the natural light and cozy, earthy vibes. For fellow matcha lovers, I saw a sign they use Mizuba matcha. It was already late afternoon and I had a matcha latte earlier so I chose not to get a matcha latte. If I'm around the area and come back soon though, I'd love to try their seasonal summer offering of the coconut matcha cloud. They also had a pastry case next to the register. The savory items sounded great too, so there's lots of items I'm interested in trying from here. Would recommend if you're looking for a nice, spacious cafe to relax or do some work!

While in the area visiting a lifelong friend (since 4th grade) on a Friday afternoon, we decided to…read moregrab some lunch while catching up. I mentioned Fair Oaks Brew Pub as an option I found on Yelp &, as a local, he said it was a great choice. We almost immediately scored street parking only a few doors down. I'd never been to Old Fair Oaks Village before. Looking around, the little town center was more reminiscent of a historic gold country town up in the foothills than Sacramento suburban sprawl. The cutesy charm of the surroundings extended to Fair Oaks Brew Pub itself. Greeted as soon as we walked up, we chose to sit out in their inviting patio area on a perfect Spring day. Our server was along shortly. She was friendly, helpful, & the right amount of attentive. For brew pub fare, we both chose the Risky Burger. Essentially a Western bacon BBQ variation of their regular cheeseburger. Sides were upgraded to onion rings. For the brew, I got their Chicken Foot Pale Ale. Everything was up before long. The Risky Burger was outstanding. Crispy bacon, tasty onion rings (in the burger, as well as on the side), gooey melted cheese, & a perfectly cooked patty just juicy enough to turn the last bite or 2 of the whole burger into a bit of a mess. The Chicken Foot Pale Ale was decent for style, though a little old school in terms of recipe/ malts/ hops. Still, a refreshing pairing for the Risky Burger. All in all, Fair Oaks Brew Pub was a great spot to grab a bite & a beer in an unexpectedly scenic pocket of suburbia.

We ordered two pizzas, one of which was completely forgotten, while the other was ordered but took over an hour to arrive. When we asked about them, we were told they would be out shortly. We arrived around 7:30, and we finally received our pizzas at 9:05. We love the food and drinks here, but it's safe to say we probably won't be coming back. At the end of our meal, we asked if the pizza that had gotten forgotten could be taken off the bill, but we were told they could only take half off the pizza that took over an hour. Very disappointing, especially because we've really enjoyed this place in the past.

Kinda cozy cafe with a bar and then a small/medium restaurant with seating for groups and live entertainment. I wasn't sure if they would be remodeling or maybe are in the midst of a remodel. I ordered an omelet which was very tasty. The menu reminded me of Denny's (comfort food at very affordable prices). The server was personable and had excellent customer service skills.

The server that seated me brought my coffee, but she didn't bring me any creamer. I didn't catch it at first, until she brought me my coffee, and I noticed there was none on the table When a different server came to take my order, she spoke hardly any English. When I asked her for the steak omelette, she understood that part, but when I said what I wanted with the omelette, plus when I started to ask for creamer in my coffee, she just looked at me, kind of confused, obviously, she didn't understand, she went to get another server who came back in a couple of minutes I asked, and she brought me creamer for my coffee. I put in my order, asking for fruit instead of potatoes, and my toast with the butter on the side. My food comes quickly, except for my toast. She says, I will bring you your toast. I was halfway through my meal, and I still didn't have my toast. My server walked by, and before I could say anything, she looked at me, and said, "oh, let me get you your toast." the toast came, and instead of having the butter on the side, it was *SLATHERED* with butter. Not only that, but the toast was overdone, and it tasted burnt in some spots. It took so long to get it the first time, I didn't bother asking them to redo it. The steak omelette itself just wasn't as good this time. They were generous with the fillings, but the steak was pretty chewy, and it just didn't taste very good. It had some kind of an aftertaste. Not only that, the roasted jalapeño that I had last time, it's obvious that it only kissed the grill for a few seconds. I took one bite, and it was way too spicy for me. I could tell that it had hardly been cooked at all. The coffee was OK, and the fruit was very good and very fresh. The fruit, and the politeness of everybody saved this from being a two star review. Again, the price was reasonable, and they do offer the military/veterans discount, but the breakfast just wasn't as good this time. I don't think I will be back again. There's plenty of other places that I can go to. Thanks anyway.

The gentleman working the bar was attentive, friendly, and clearly knows what he's doing. Every drink was incredibly well-made, creative, and delicious. You can tell there's some real thought and skill going into the bar program. The vibe is also fantastic. Cool, laid-back decor with some awesome portraits of a few absolute GOATs on the walls--Dave Chappelle, Anthony Bourdain, and others. Definitely gives the place some personality and makes it feel like somewhere you actually want to hang out. I didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but I cannot wait to come back for the veggie burger. If the cocktails are any indication of the quality coming out of the kitchen, I'm expecting to be very happy. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and clearly a place that knows how to do things right. Already looking forward to my next visit.
