Lenise's Cafe

The location is good for the area. It's deep in the heart of south West Sac (Southport). It's a bit far from the freeway but close to many surrounding neighborhoods. There are a couple of shops in the shopping center.The service is amazing! The owner is extremely friendly and made a small conversation with us. All the people eating there seemed like "regulars". This really is a divey hole in the wall breakfast spot. They had many options for food and drinks. Although it was slightly busy when I went, our meal came out quickly.The flavor was really good. My eggs and toast were cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount. I know you can't get toast wrong but I thought their bread and butter was fantastic. The prices are also good. You can expect to walk out of here for around $20 for a meal for two making this a ($) for me.Bottom line/TLDR: amazing customer service!

This place is a nice neighborhood cafe. The servers are warm and welcoming.I ordered a strawberry, caramel, whipped cream crepe, topped with chocolate. It was pretty good. Although, if I had one comment, I would say that the crepe was cold when I ate it within 2 minutes of receiving it. As well, the whipped cream was a not as whipped as I would have liked.Overall, I would rate this place a location I would come back again and try something else on the menu because of the service and the coziness of the location.

I checked this cafe out due to a work-friend recommendation. I am impressed by the cafe's decor, which reminds me of a time when I was on vacation in Paris last year. The hospitality, cleanliness, service, and food (sandwich, crepe, wrap, appetizer, lunch/dinner menu) were immaculate. There are also a variety of drink options to complement your food.However, food for thought: This is not the type of "cafe" where you will need to feel full. This is a cafe, not a restaurant, so know the difference and get educated rather than being a keyboard warrior. LOL! If you want to feel full, go to a sit-down restaurant or a buffet, or dine at home. I hardly ever get full when I go to Starbucks or Dutch Bros. LMAO!Pros:-Friendly Staff. I was greeted by Jeff who worked at the Cash Register and Andrei who served me my meal. I was checked once in a while to see how my meal went or refill on water as I was dining outside.-Great place to go on a date. -Has outdoor sitting. -Plenty of parking-Clean bathroom-They do catering as well for your work/home/special occasion needs. Cons:-NONE!Now, the question is, will I be back? Most definitely. After my meal, I had a Matcha Tea Latte to-go, and the drink was perfect to end my Chicken Pesto Crepe, which wasn't too heavy on my stomach! Which I liked. Thank you!

I came here to work remotely with my wife as this is one of the few places that West Sac offers in regard to local cafes. We arrived a couple minutes after they opened so the space was really calm; perfect place to get some work done in the morning. We tried to look for a menu and we noticed that they were all placed where orders are taken. We had to wait for the first guest to order just to look at the menu, we ended up ordering their cafe omelet and a large spiced chai latte. The service was decent, but the omelet and latte were pretty good, however, it was served in a scratched up plastic plate which turned me off a little bit.The cafe was very contradictory of what it wants to identify itself. Right away, you can tell that there's love for Parisian chic elegance, yet there's a bunch of non elegant choices made such as the use of plastic plates, there's also space decoration covering the ceiling lights and resin table tops among other things. It also needed a bit of cleaning as there were dust build up covering the kitchen ceiling as well as the curtain covering transom of the patio door. It felt like the home of an eclectic individual who has many interests and couldn't pick which theme to choose from. The cafe is really cozy with plenty of seats for both indoor and outdoor which makes a good place to work remotely in. They also have good food and a nice staff who's willing to attend for your needs.

Absolutely incredible food, drinks, service, and prices!! I ordered the Caesar salad wrap and a mango mimosa and both items were incredible. I noted that they provided full glasses instead of flutes for the mimosa, and they had lots of different flavors. I went with a few girlfriends and they all thought the food was incredible and very fresh. We also had the pumpkin muffin and lemon loaf and they were both some of the moistest pastries I've had. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. We got to meet Lenise herself and she was such a sweetheart! We will all be back very soon!

A local favorite that I've been meaning to try for some time now. The coffee was really really good and well prepped. The burrito and bagel were on the dry side and just ok. Nothing to rave about really. Not bad, but not good. The crowd at the time which is no fault to the restaurant didn't make me feel welcomed. Sometimes that happens in this used to be small town. The locals get a little snobby but the newer generation is very welcoming My main issue with the burrito is that everything seemed like a separate bite. One bite of a big raw tomato, then one bite of a lightly cooked spinach, then one bite of potato. It didn't appear to be intermingled. Anyways, I'll give it another try but I just won't be rushing back.

I have been here more than a handful of times...mainly breakfast and brunch times. Such a cute spot and they host a variety of fun events too like live music, karaoke, etc.Still haven't made it to one, but hope to someday.This particular day I stopped in after getting a mani next door at Tina's Hair and Nail salon (yes I gave them another shot). I was starving so ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and subbed in Cheddar cheese and also added potatoes per the suggestion of the cashier. It did not disappoint! Their breakfast burrito is also extra healthy with the addition of spinach, bell pepper, and fresh tomato. It was a nice, fresh surprise.I should note that this is an order at the counter then grab a number and seat yourself inside or outside then they bring the food to you. There is a line at times and they get kind of busy, but not too much to scare me away. I ordered a large honey Latte. I asked for nonfat milk but they only had 2%...that's ok- just a splurge day for me.Love this spot and service is pretty great. Look forward to checking out an event/happy hour sometime.

My first time here.. decided to order a French dip panini with au jus and wow was it gross.. the au jus smelled like a cheap broth cube mixed with water which I know is how some places make au jus but the real kicker was the sandwich.. it was smothered in some kind of white sauce and the meat.. eww I don't know where they get this type of meat but it tasted fake and chewy.. giving this place 2 stars because the young man working there was very nice and the store was clean... but will definitely not be back because that food was inedible.

good food good service love the workers there they are all very nice and the place is cozy

Excellent service, great mochas and i hear they are planning to bring back karaoke night. Sounds fun amd i cant wait to check out it!
