I'm a guy with simple taste, so when I tried out their sandwiches I was hooked. Good quality, friendly customer service, and very generous portions. I used to go to La Bou around the corner for a dry overpriced sandwich, haven't been back since coming here.My only issue is they might have technical issues (i.e., add-ons like sauce might not be displayed for them when ordering online via Grubhub - through yelp app, and sides like chips are not listed, so without cash no chips for me).

Cafe Connection impressed me being my first time! To start, service was wonderful! The staff was very nice and welcoming. I ordered the curry chicken which came with coconut rice and a salad which I got peanut dressing. I thought the salad was good, although I wish it was a cold salad versus warm and mixing into my chicken. The chicken was delicious and tender. The rice was good although it didn't taste like coconut. If you're in the downtown Sac area and looking to try something new, highly recommend this spot! I'll be back!

You've read about the prompt service at the counter - check. You've read about the cleanliness of the shop and the convenient location across from the capitol - check. You've read about the delicious food and ample portions - check. I got a curry chicken roti, which was conveniently wrapped (although it would also be great as a plate). The roti is filled with white and dark meat boneless chicken and potatoes, so it's easy to eat without having to navigate through weird pieces of bone or anything - definitely a plus - and if Keith Lee were to ever drop by, this place would blow up like crazy because the seasoning on everything is excellent.What you haven't read *enough* about is the amazing couple who run Cafe Connection. The fact that this little place has stood the test of time, in and out of Covid, and for 18 years, is simply a testament to Ken and Debbie - some of the most down to earth, warm, and genuine people in the game. They have events and are truly involved in the community. All in all, this is a great spot to get your fix of fast, easy, and very tasty Caribbean cuisine.

I've been meaning to stop by Cafe Connection for a long time, but I kept missing them as they're open M-F 11am-3:30pm. It's perfect for the Downtown crowd, but I tend to do more exploring on the weekends. I was walking back to my car after some meetings and saw they were open and took my chance! As I entered, I was greeted with the delicious smell of Caribbean food.When I made it to the counter I asked for their recommendation and ended up getting the chicken curry plate. I also ordered a chicken and a beef patty to take home and got a half sorrel half mint lemonade for my drink.The staff was so friendly and was telling me about all their favorite dishes. I need to come back to try more soon.As I left, I took a sip of my drink and that completely won me over. The Sorrel (hibiscus) and mint lemonade mixed is so flavorful and refreshing.The portion sizes were generous and everything came out to $35.84 after tip and will easily be at least two meals, maybe three.I'm excited for my next visit already!

Food and owners are amazing! I got the jerk chicken plate with red beans and rice, such a big portion for a reasonable price and so delicious! And the people that own it are so friendly, make you feel very welcome! I definitely recommend this place!

First time here, won't be the last. Cool and casual place with great service and nice selection of healthy eats. Had a veggie curry roti wrap that was both huge and delicious. Reasonable prices too. Loved it!

All of the yummy PLUS house made ginger beer!!! Everything that I've had is delicious. I'm told that the meat patty's and chicken patty's are fabulous. I'd hop off a freeway to try them because this place is the real deal. Oh. And yes, super friendly helpful people working there. (Assume owners?)

this resteraunt stands out tremendously, but for reasons surprisingly besides just having yummy food. I work nearby on occasion for my job, and of course there are days I forget to pack my lunch therefore seeking out a nearby spot to grab some food. This place is located right next to the capital on L st and yes the parking is terrible due to the construction currently happening at the capital so walking from nearby is recommended. Coming in you notice the owner greeting and having conversation with almost every customer. Knowing them by name and talking to them as if they have all been long established friends. First time coming here the owner threw in some coconut rice for me to try for free, and second time I came we were able to chat for a second and exchanged names. I feel like I'm already part of the family. Food is made with love and delicious. The chicken roti wrap is a chicken curry with potatoes and wrapped in a flaky flatbread. Very flavorful and tender potatoes. I also love getting the pholourie that comes with almost a tamarind chutney?? Whatever it is I love to drizzle it inside the roti wrap and it's just *chef's kiss*Cute interior, amazing people, and a whole new cuisine of delicious food to devour, what else could you need?

I heard about this place from my wife. I came here for lunch. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered the chicken sandwich with bacon and avocado on rye bread. The sandwich had a great flavor and very filling. The ambiance was very customer friendly. A great place to go for lunch.

The food has been absolutely amazing every time!I have tried the goat curry, jerk chicken, oxtail, chicken curry, coconut rice with black eyed peas, red beans and rice, peanut butter ranch, mint lemon aid, and hibiscus. The portion sizes are perfect. The restaurant was clean and full of laughs a smiling people. They move a long line during the lunch rush very quick, and their customer service remains a 10 while doing so! I have recommended this place to friends and family who I know will support!
