Selland's Market-Café

A Cozy Spot with Great Gluten-Free Options, But Room for More SweetsSelland's Market Café used to be my go-to comfort spot for a home-cooked meal and delicious treats. Since going gluten-free, I don't visit as often, but they still have some solid gluten-free options that keep me coming back occasionally.Their wood-fired gluten-free pizza is fantastic--the crust is perfectly crisp and flavorful. Their hot entrées, like the mushroom chicken, are consistently satisfying and comforting. The salads are always fresh, and I love that they make their own gluten-free bread for sandwiches. The bread doesn't fall apart, has a great texture, and definitely hits the spot when I'm craving a good sandwich.Where I think they could improve is in their gluten-free baked goods and sweets. The chocolate brownie chip cookie is my go-to--rich and satisfying. However, the other gluten-free desserts, like the banana pudding, parfait, and almond torte, are just okay and don't quite stand out.Overall, Selland's remains a cozy and reliable spot with great gluten-free savory options. I just wish they would expand their gluten-free dessert offerings to match the quality of the rest of their menu.

Busy cafe on a Sunday,we got there before the families started piling in.I got the house salad with balsamic vinaigrette and turkey Brie sandwhich with apple compote,delicious! It was huge and husband helped finish it.He had the pumpkin soup with side salad. The food here is really good but we both agreed pretty pricey for a deli-$40(similar pricing to what we have in Bay Area)

It is an interesting, albeit somewhat confusing at first, casual deli type restaurant. It's especially good for lunch.I stopped here for a brief stop to catch a quick lunch, and it worked out perfectly.It's a bit confusing if you've never been, as it isn't quite clear what the concept is, how to order, what to order, and where to order. Once navigating through it once, it seems quite easy and straightforward.They have a variety of things, with a menu board with salads, hot and cold sandwiches, and then a variety of options. The options could be, for example, three deli side items from the case on a dinner size plate. It all looked good.Once I saw where other people were ordering, it became easy, and the service was very friendly.You order, they give you a number on a metal post, and you choose a place to sit. There are indoor and outdoor patio options. I ordered a cold option vegetarian sandwich called "The Rainbow". It was great, large, and full of fresh veggies. The bread was delicious.They bring it to the table, and you get your napkins and utensils st stations in the middle or the room.They have a water station in there as well.Overall, it's a good experience for a good and quick casual meal. Do it once, and you'll get the routine down pat!

10/10 would recommend! We sat outside overlooking the fountain. I had an amazing lunch with my friend. She had the salad and I had the grilled cheese on sourdough. The drinks were good- Arnold Palmer with passion ice tea. It was airy and lots of sunlight. Very minimal service as you order a head of time then provided with a number , they bring your food to you. However you bus your own table. You get your own silver ware. No issues there just an observation (for those not aware). Great lunch spot not sure if they do brunch there . I would love to come back and try other items on the menu.

Really good food of far more variety than you would expect. Reasonable prices bring in a wide variety of folks who make this place a regular. Service with a smile, a local, comfortable vibe and comfortable surroundings. Not much to pick at. This is a winner.

The food is always so fresh. The staff from the minute you walk in the door are friendly & accommodating. Would go here to eat anytime, the decor & overall vibe of the place makes you feel welcome to stay & enjoy your family & friends while eating comfort food.

Stopped in for lunch after a movie. It's been awhile since I have been there. The Market Salad could possibly be my favorite salad of all time. All the ingredients are so fresh, simple and delicious. Employees were friendly, and our food came out quickly. The cafe is decorated simply, and I thought with the time floors it might be noisy, but it was not. There's tons of ice cold water to refill water glasses with. Decided we want to come back to try a wood fired pizza next.

I have been to Selland's before, but this was my first time at this Selland's location in El Dorado Town Center. The atmosphere in the Center itself is very enjoyable and pleasant, so it's only fitting that there are pleasant restaurants in the Center. Selland's was a popular dining choice in this area as well as Sacramento. We came here on a Saturday evening and there was a wait to order and a wait for the food. We ordered the Tri-Tip Dip ($15), Tomato Basil Soup ($7), and a Combination Plate ($22) of 2 teriyaki chicken thighs, macaroni and cheese, and roasted brussels sprouts. The tri-tip dip was pretty good by itself, but it was even tastier dipped in the au jus it came with. The macaroni and cheese was a hit, but the roasted brussels sprouts, although not bad, didn't have a lot of flavor. I didn't try the chicken, but it looked good. The tomato basil soup tasted sour and was disappointing.Overall, I enjoyed the tri-tip sandwich and the sides. We sat outside on the patio, which overlooked the water fountain in the Center's "lake." Great spot for outdoor dining.

Absolutely fantastic! We've been here 5 times and it's fresh, flavorful and unique (new menu weekly) every time.

We've been coming to this Selland's location since it opened and thought it was time to update our review.We used to get mostly pizzas. But lately we have been really into the burgers. My husband likes the BBQ and I go for the All-American. They don't have a grill, so don't try to order your burger medium rare. They all come out medium, because they are cooked in the oven. But they are delicious. Something about them makes them so perfect. Unlike other burgers this stacked, almost nothing seems to fall off while you're eating it. The fries are pretty good too, we usually share them since it's a very generous portion. I recommend getting the aioli to go with.I do notice that recently there are more less than stellar reviews. If you have a problem, I do encourage you to say something. The management here really listens and they want to make you happy. That's why we keep coming back, even if sometimes it's not perfect.
