    Butternut Squash soup
    Judi M.

    Veg Café did not disappoint with their phenomenal Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge menu this year. We started with the crispy potato taquitos. I love potato tacos and am always looking for good ones in the area. These particular potato taquitos were crispy with generous potato filling and a pumpkin mole sauce. Talk about an elevated taco! Our next dish was the stuffed pappardelle with butternut squash, mozzarela, and toasted walnuts in a sage sauce. The pasta was toothsome and held up well with such hearty ingredients. However, the star of the show was the miso maple salmon. I eat salmon regularly and the feel and taste of roasted oshi slmon filet was dead on like salmon. It even flaked like real salmon. We were truly impressed with this dish. We ended this fantastic meal with a pumpkin toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. The toffee pudding was dense, but not dry. The hazelnut caramel sauce was delicate and worked well with the vanilla ice cream. We always come to VC every year for the challenge and they never disappoint. Of all the restaurants we tried for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge this year, Veg Cafe was hands down my favorite. Every single dish was a homerun. Besides the food, service was outstanding. Our server was very knowledgeable and eager to share info about the dishes and ingredients. The cafe itself is cute and quaint. It's small and cozy with eclectic decor.

    Potato taquitos - so good & a little spicy.

    Yummy food and excellent service. Allowed me to knit and chill on an easy Saturday. The potato taquitos were a lil spicy but I'm extra sensitive to spicy stuffs.

    Overall we really enjoyed Veg Cafe! We went on a Saturday night and I do recommend placing a reservation as it does get busy. The restaurant itself is very cute and offers a relaxing atmosphere. Not pictured, but we also ordered the mushroom calamari and bruschetta. OMG the vegan calamari is amazing! The bruschetta was also good, nothing too crazy though. I ordered the lasagna and definitely recommend it. Fun fact, our server mentioned there was something 133 layers of noodle? The layering made for a very pleasing texture with lots of space for sauce to hide. Husband ordered the Moroccan bowl-it was hearty, filling. and had incredible amount of flavor. Great experience!

    I love this restaurant and have been going for years!! So many creative plant based meals with rotating specials, it's impossible to get bored. I got their special--Pazole, and it was delicious. The broth was thick and had plenty of hominy and mushrooms which made it hearty. I wish they had some tortilla chips to go with it. The potatoes are a must get! They have a nice seasoning on them + the house made ranch is FIRE. So good! The space itself is cute and eclectic which makes it cozy and the service very friendly 10/10 recommend!

    this restaurant feels upscale yet cozy, relaxing, and friendly. I love that it's upstairs, so you get a nice view of midtown. Been here twice. First time, I got the savory crepe. Second time, the Stuffed Pappardelle with a side of pickled veggies. Both meals were perfect, genuinely 10/10. I also ordered the taquitos on UberEats once, and they were a 9/10. Really good. I was told most of the menu is seasonal, with dishes rotating in and out four times a year. A few popular staple items stay permanently. They also have specials posted on the wall. I plan to continue coming back here regularly.

    Taro chips, veg lasagna with vegetarian bolognese sauce. Beverage was a "Blue Butterfly Iced spritzer".

    Great location in Midtown Sacramento. Quietly tucked away vegetation and vegan restaurant. So many delicious dishes to choose from, I wanted to take home the mushroom calamari. Greeted immediately, there's an elevator for those who'd prefer to avoid the stairs. Advised by patrons exiting the meal was worth the stairs, and I wasn't disappointed. Beautiful plating, which was art itself, and fabulous art by a local artist on display. If that isn't enough, you can dine on the enclosed balcony to people watch or sun bask.

    Finally had a chance to order from here! So good!! Delivery was smooth and food was fresh and warm upon arrival. Portions are large, so split taquitos with someone. The cauliflower and fried mushroom calamari style, french fries, and gnocchi were really good! So much flavor and sauces to choose from. Impressed with the food, the flavors, freshness, creaminess of the potatoes were a lovely mesh. I'd love to try more food off the menu! Would highly recommend for all the veggie lovers out there.

    I love this spot! Great service, cute upstairs spot with tables to look over the street, full bar and all vegan menu. They have great special menu items but if you happen to be there when they have the lasagna, it's a MUST!

    Brunch item: griddle breakfast sandwich and an oat milk latte, mmm! (instagram: jax.vegan.eats)

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet, it's one of my favorite restaurants in Sacramento! The entire menu is fully vegan, and everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. They also offer seasonal specials, which are always fun to try. The service is usually great, and the space is perfect for get-togethers or small events. I also love their drinks, they're just as tasty as the food!

    I came here with friends during Memorial Day Weekend to enjoy some vegan eats. I previewed the menu before coming and was looking forward to trying the vegan burger. However, I must've overlooked when the lunch/dinner menu is available because upon arrival a bit before 2pm, we were informed we could only order off the brunch menu, as their regular menu doesn't start until 3pm. I was disappointed, as I was set on getting the savoury vegan burger. However, I opted for the veg griddle as a backup option. It was way too sweet. It honestly reminded me exactly of a McGriddle, so if you're into that, this might be your thing. I couldn't tell the dish was vegan at all. The faux meats and cheeses in my meal closely mimicked the "real" thing, so at least they've nailed down the ingredients.

    Lots of natural light, cozy vibe, friendly staff, amazing vegan food. Veg cafe highlights seasonal food and local beers and wines. Love this place!!!

    They serve up the best breakfast entrees in Sacramento. The next time your taste buds are craving a great breakfast make your reservation as they only serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

    Cute decor upstairs

    My son is in a wheelchair. Is it wheelchair accessible? I see that it is upstairs and people talk about walking the stairs, i am just wondering if there is an elevator or ramps for those in wheelchairs?

    Yes! I believe I recall seeing an elevator to get to the second floor allowing for wheelchair/differently abled bodies to access the restaurant. ❤️

    What are the cheeses made of? Housemade, or are they a brand?

    Is all the food vegan? Veg could mean vegetarian.

    Yes its all vegan..super yummy. A bit pricey but love being able to have brunch as a vegan

    What does the falafel burger taste like?

    It's absolutely delicious! I'm not vegetarian but I could eat these all day and forget I ever ate beef. Their seasoning is what takes it above and beyond, and whatever they use to bind it makes it seem like an actual patty. The toppings and bun… 

    Is your restaurant accessible by elevator? My mother is handicapped.

Breakfast usually isn't my favorite, but for this place, I'll gladly make an exception! The staff is always friendly, and I usually make a reservation just in case.

This visit, I went with the Florentine Benedict, and it did not disappoint. The sauce was smooth and flavorful, and the poached egg was cooked perfectly.

The prime rib was very thin cut, and the horseradish sauce was very light would not order this again. The rotisserie chicken salad was very basic would not order again. The chicken and waffles were absolutely delicious. The country gravy is not our thing, so it was on the side. The cinnamon butter that came with it made it extra delicious and the syrup was great too. The Seabass was absolutely terrible. It tasted like really overdone cod and the crab coating just tasted like burnt flour base crust. This was a severe disappointment. I ordered asparagus on the side which was cooked the way they did in the 1950s to a point of mush and what was another severe disappointment. The chocolate bomb was absolutely delicious. I have to say when I come again, I will stick to my usual Thai steak salad as it is always incredibly good and for the main course, I will probably order that chicken and waffles again too!

They had a plaque about the green book and the history of the time period and what it was. My history loving family found that super cool. The atmosphere inside was great. The artwork was beautifu. Also he service was impeccabl. Our server, isis, was incredibly kind and helpfu. The service was speedy which is great bc my grandma was tired and usually had dinner at four (it was 7). However we still had enough time between appetizers, the meal, and dessert. Overall my family and I will be going back and I think we found our new favorite restauran. I can't wait to tell and bring everyone I know here! thank you to all the staff for a wonderful night.

Nicely sliced smoked meat with a bun that had just enough integrity to survive being dunked in the jus but soft enough to eat without. The melted cheese added a nice counterpoint to the smokey meat and helped offset the saltiness of the jus. Add a bit of their house bbq sauce and it was perfect.
