This delightful little place is located on the ground floor of a house near my hotel. The coffee was delicious, the service attentive and polite, the whole place was sparkling clean and beautifully decorated.The second day I went the owner was having coffee in front with a friend. The local dogs knew him personally and he brought them a treat. It was very clear the dogs also give 5 stars. This is clearly a beloved local business.My favorite was the little front and side patios. This is a great place and I highly recommend it!

February 2025 and i am looking for the best place to get conchas in Sacramento. Spot 3 of the year and I doordash a concha from Bueno Cafe for breakfast. I decide to try a latte and pastrami sandwich because I dont wanna just door dash a concha lol. So I place my order... super excited, and i get a dang cookie instead of the concha I ordered !!!!!!! Definitely dissapointed beyond beyondness. All is forgiven because the pastrami sandwich looks and tastes amazing. The white mocha exceeds my expectations of even my favorite coffee spots. Door dash is hit or miss, and when I googled the place it said the volume of business was higher than usual; so, I'll give this place another try for the conchas.

What a great find! Was in the area and decided to stop by and was so happy that I did. Very cute spot. Loved the indoor mural. Really great vibe. Coffee was great! I ordered the Mazapan Mocha and it was really good. They have a nice variety of drinks to choose from as well as pan dulce. Service is also great. Highly recommend coming here!

Checked out this place based on the Sacramento coffee passport. I absolutely loved the decorations and the (affordable) artwork for sale. The service was great and we were greeted immediately once we got inside, which led to a warm and inviting space. The coffee was priceyyyyy, but good!

I'm sad it took me so long to stop in! I've been meaning to since they opened and today was the day. It's so cute on the outside and they have indoor and outdoor seating.Inside the walls are covered in gorgeous murals and up front, by the door, they have art on display from local artists that you can purchase.Once you're inside you can order off their menu or their "secret menu" and they have sandwiches available as well.I ended up with the Selena's Bom Bom and a Pastrami sandwich and both were excellent. We sat inside and hung out while we enjoyed our food and drinks. The staff were super friendly and gave us some of their recommendations while ordering, which we love. My husband got a Chai latte and a build your own sandwich and then bought a second drink after downing the first one.Next time I want to bring our dog with us and enjoy the outdoor seating. I know it will be soon, because I'm already craving another sandwich.

Love this place, Service is great they are very nice answered my questions and always get my orders right! discovered this place with my sister a couple of months ago we got hooked on the Mexican Mocha Hot and the sandwich called "The Best Sandwich" its very delicious it's a Roast Beef sandwich with other flavors things in and their Chipotle sauce is hella good. If you try it I don't think there's any other sandwich place you can compare it to when u describe it to someone.. this last time I went I got my usual and I also tried for the first time the Coco Mocha iced not at all what I expected you taste everything and the coconut is not over powering which I loved because I tasted everything. The only thing is next time I'm not going to know what to get from the options lol Great Place! Great People!

This was my first time to Bueno Cafe and it's a nice hidden gem nestled in the Southside Park neighborhood of Sacramento. When I walked in, I was greeted with the fresh smells of coffee, baked breakfast goods and hospitality like no other. I was in a hurry so didn't have much time to stay, but I ordered the Mexican Mocha which is 1 of the 7 drinks available off the "secret menu" and it tasted great. I also ordered the breakfast sandwich which didn't have a wow factor to it but tasted as expected. They also have a deli sandwich area with various sandwich offerings which I'd be open to trying next time. Overall, a cute cafe with hand crafted speciality drinks inspired by Mexican flavors and culture with the most friendly staff members I'd come in contact with in a long time.

You know school's out when the first staff member that sees you is on her phone and instead of greeting you she gives you a glance and continues phone scrolling. Not the warmest first impression of a cafe but service was slightly redeemed by the polite gentleman at the cashier who handed me my online takeout order.Pretty okay regular mocha here. Not the smoothest that I've tried in Sac as the brew had a little bit of a burnt aftertaste, but it's kinda lessened by the delicious dark chocolate syrup hiding most of it. Decently strong.The apple empanada (thought I could choose empanada type upon arrival based on the online menu description but type was randomly chosen) had a hearty chew with a tasty filling. I quite enjoyed this one.No skimping on the crispy topping on the concha, which I liked, but the bread itself was dry.Chorizo bun was served cold (like, solidified-cheese cold). After warming it at home for 15 seconds in the microwave the bun became amazingly soft but the chorizo filling had a strange spongy texture to it. Perhaps would recommend trying the other bun options here.I visited on weekday afternoon and finding street parking wasn't too difficult.

I've only been to this location once and can't wait to go back. I loved the decor and the staff were quick and friendly when attending to my guest and I. I had the Coldbrew Horchata that was really good. I even got one to go for my husband to try. I was hoping to get a concha w my coffee but they were all out. I'll have to get one next time I go.
