Breakfast
The horchata cold brew is amazing. It’s definitely cheaper than other coffee shops I’ve been too. Then sandwiches are amazing. The chipotle aioli is what separates it from other shops. A must try!
Camellia Coffee Roasters
The matcha here is amazing! It’s a cute little restaurant here in downtown Sacramento. I definitely recommend the matcha with their avocado toast! It’s even better if you add their chorizo. So full of flavor!
La Costa Cafe
Another one of my favorite for coffee and matcha. They have a wide selection of drinks and food items to choose from. I stop here before a couple times a month.
Pachamama Coffee
Lunch
So many options to choose from! Their chicken and waffles are both sweet and savory. Their chicken sandwiches are amazing.
World Famous HOTBOYS Chicken
This spot is great if you can’t decide to have American or Mexican. They have a great menu and their burgers are amazing. The fries pair well with the torta and burgers. I would say it could be a little pricey compared to other places.
TAQUERIA JALISCO - Updated August 2025 - 73 Photos & 73 Reviews
One of the best burgers in town! Definitely a classic if you’re from Sacramento. I would say it’s a hole in the wall type of place. From the outside it’s not the best looking but the food talks for itself. It is cash only!!
Connie's Drive-In
I’ve tried the burger basket and the banana milkshake. The milkshake really stole the show. However if you do not like sweet drinks than I would not recommend it. The burger is amazing and always has fresh vegetables. If you like a saucy burger than ...
Nubbin's Drive-In
One of the best sandwich spots in Sacramento. There are many spots on the heart of downtown but this one is the best. The capital club which is similar to a blt. The bacon is absolutely amazing and so crispy. They ad mayo to both side of the bread, w...
Dad's Sandwiches and Things
Their angry Mac is my go too! It’s so full of flavor and very filling. Definitely always have to grab an extra sauce for your bowl!! Not too pricey compared to other places!
Angry Chickz - Hollywood
The pizza is worth the hype! It’s so good and filling!
Pizzasaurus Rex
Dinner
Are you looking for your next date night restaurant? Give Paragary’s a chance! The lemon drop drink is amazing. The Caesar salad is amazing. I personally don’t like a Caesar dressing that taste too much like anchovies and this salad was perfect for m...
Paragary's
One of the best Pho restaurants in Sacramento. Their broth is full of flavor! Definitely always a place I go too after a day of partying
Pho Momma
I went hear on a date night with my husband and it was so good! They have a bar where you can build your own sauces and grab your own vegetables. Their dinner menu is all you can eat. You can choose your hot pot soup, appetizers and up to four protei...
Gogi The
I’ve been coming here for a very long time. Another place I love going to for pho. Their wonton soup is another amazing option. Their menu is full of other delicious items.
Pho Bac Hoa Viet South Sac
There are a few different locations here in Sacramento. The one on downtown is by far the best spot! So many different items to choose from. Their salt and pepper wings and fries are amazing!!
Journey to the Dumpling
One of the best Italian restaurants in Sacramento. The pizza is amazing and their pastas are excellent. Definitely always a treat when we come here. The service is amazing and the staff are very friendly!
Mamma Susanna's Ristorante Italiano
Dessert
Looking to cool off this hot summer, give Gunther’s a try. I would definitely go on a day that you have some free time because their lines can be very long but it is worth it
Gunthers Ice Cream
Their ice cream flavors are different compared to other shops. They have better ingredients than most. What a treat!
