    Hot Sauce.... Crazy Good.
    Jeff L.

    Small menu with Big Flavors. Great Coffee and Summertime Lemonade's. Their Avocado Toast is INSANE. We'll be back....

    The Folsom Café is a great spot. I always get the avocado toast it's delicious and a good portion, definitely worth it. Next time I'll have to branch out and try something else because all the food that comes out of the kitchen looks really good. They also have a solid coffee selection depending on what you like. The espresso is smooth, and my go to, the Americano, is always on point. This has become one of my new stopping points when I'm out cycling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is welcoming, and the customer service is always nice and pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's just one of those places that makes you want to slow down, enjoy your food, and take a break.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hope you enjoy!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good location at the downtown Folsom a very historic place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Coffee was good, they did not have a variety of breakfast but I assume it is more for coffee and pastries. Service was ok.

    The two girls working were very nice. I ordered a gluten free sandwich (didn't know they offered gluten free bread!) and they were out of stock. They were super sweet and tried accommodating my allergy and trying to find substitutes for me to order. Lovely service and excited to come back and try the sandwich!

    Grasshopper matcha

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My first time in The Folsom Cafe and it's aesthetically stunning with local art and a home feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was really sweet and they have a variety of teas which I love. I went with the grasshopper matcha iced and WOW SO DELICIOUS on a hot day.

    Tomato Brushetta
    Corey N.

    Had lunch here today and the remake of this shop is working well. The iced green was pleasant. Bacon grilled cheese was a bit more expensive than expected, but hit the spot. Note, you can get grilled cheese with tomato soup which my friend enjoyed. The best part of lunch was a delightfully good tomato bruschetta. Balance of flavors were just right. The beefy tomato cuts were perfect. Liking the subtly mint green new paint inside. Good amount of indoor seating. A few nice sized tables under shade outside for when the weather is warmer will be most welcome. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable with the new menu. Drop by and check out this new place.

I really like their mushroom pate which was really yummy. Also it comes with some grilled bread and you can do a yummy spread on it. . We also got there dozen of oysters which was really refreshing and comes with some Mingonete. . We also got an order of their calamari which was a generous portion and deep fried crispy to Perfection and seasoned well with a really nice dip too. . We got to try out their sparkling bubble and their Pinot red flight. Everything was really tasty and I highly recommend it if you are looking to taste good wine here and do food pairing too. .

Before I left I did end up purchasing a bottle of Late harvest Riesling and bottle of sparkling Muscat. If you never been you have got to check them out. It's a great experience for sure. :)

The Vine is in Old Folsom across from restaurants and bars, making it an ideal spot to possibly start a girls night or date night at if you wanted to walk around after.

The worker was really nice, we were able to sample different wines, and he was helpful in answering questions we had.

We decided to get a wine flight: I got the Rosé flight, and my friends got the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir flight. For tapas, we decided to split the Tuscany Hummus Bruschetta, Hot Honey Cheese Balls, and the Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese Flatbread. There were a decent amount of vegetarian options to choose from. Wines were delicious and very smooth. The presentation of the food was great and it tasted flavorful and fresh. Since it is tapas style, the portion size is small. The bill with tip came out to be $120 which we felt was a bit steep for the three of us considering the small portion sizes and the fact that we left the restaurant still feeling a little hungry. This would be a great date spot and I would consider coming back for happy hour.

Whether you're celebrating with your spouse, introducing your side piece to "your favorite restaurant," or escaping the responsibilities waiting back at home, this place delivers.

Thus cheered, we were seated quickly, even though we arrived without a reservation. Water, bread and menus came quickly.

We each chose flights of wine to accompany our entrees. Despite including three wines per flight, the pours were fairly generous. Our dishes were perfectly prepared and came out more quickly than we expected, considering that the place was almost full. Our server checked back just enough and took care of any special requests promptly, even offering to exchange one of the wines (out of six!) that we didn't like for something better suited to our taste. The pace was leisurely which was fine given the good food and wine accompanied by the relaxed vibe of the live music. And the prices were quite reasonable given the quality of both the food and service. A dark-ish old school atmosphere added to its charm for us Baby Boomers, but even younger diners seemed to be enjoying themselves. As for us, we highly recommend it!

I ordered a Caesar salad, but it had an overwhelming amount of shaved cheese and the dressing was a bit bland. I'd love to see more meat-based food options on the menu. Most of the wines we tried were quite good. Eve, the sommelier, was incredibly sweet and accommodating--she let us sample several wines to make sure we found something we liked. We ended up ordering a few bottles. I really enjoyed the rosé, while my friends were big fans of the "Sexual Chocolate," which you'll just have to try for yourself--it's smoky and definitely unique.

The bread crust had garlic baked onto it, and the dipping sauce was huge and flavorful. The Southwestern salad exceeded my expectations. It was huge! The chicken was grilled and blackened and cooked to perfection and served on a bed of fresh lettuce with black beans, chopped onions, and blue cheese with a spicy dressing that was fantastic. The dish was so good that I'm tempted to go back tomorrow night. If you're looking for a casual dining spot with a friendly local vibe and amazing food, Manderes fits the bill!
