Awesome. This tiny, quaint cafe is very unique. It adds a very French' touch, in comparison to the ordinary eateries downtown. Wonderful selections on the menu as well as the range of flavors in their soups...and sandwich combinations. A definite must to stop in, wait, and enjoy your lunch.
Super good. I wish it was open longer so I could go more often other than on my vacation days. And although there is only one guy and the wait is long he pays special attention to every order.
Pretty amazing French soups and sandwiches. This lovely older man has it down to a science. As you wait in line, the smells of braised lamb and onions waft toward you. As you reach the front , which be prepared for a long wait, you see fresh vegetables, toasted baguettes, coquettes of meats thy have been slow roasted, and urns of fresh soups . This man is making the best sandwiches in town. Try the Brie and procuitto with aioli.
Wonderful order some champagne with you sandwich.
Sublime.. Absolutely fantastic. The memory of your long wait will absolutely melt away at the first taste of anything this cafe has to offer. I promise you; you have not had a dinning experience like this at even five times the price.
Awesome tasty sandwiches and soup. Worth the long wait.
Yesterday, I went to La Bonne Cafe. Now this is a one man show, literally. You do have quite a wait due to the fact that one man is preparing the food, helping customers, and completing transactions, but it is well worth it. He makes everything with fresh ingredients each morning, then does the preparing as you order it (ie putting the sandwich together, slicing everything up, etc). I ordered a mozzarela and tomato sandwich and cream of mushroom soup. I have never experienced better soup in my life. FANTASTIC. The bread was amazing on the sandwich...everything was wonderful. The atmosphere of the cafe was also great - a smidge crowded because it is small, but if you aren't claustrophobic, you'll be fine.
I give this one a full 5 stars.
The place was tiny and the service was super slow but well worth the wait. the cream of mushroom was hevan!
Fantastic soups and sandwiches. Only complaint is the lack of vegetarian soups (everything has, at least, chicken stock). I'd love to bring my veggie spouse with me next time.
Best soup and sandwich shop in Sacramento . cafe food, yeah, my preferred treat. Great place to chill, get away, eat some good food. This place has a cool feel to it. One of my top locations for quality Cafe food. super place to meet and chat with coworkers. Great place with consistently excellent sandwiches, soups and salads. The owner is great and his staff is very nice.
Amazing food restaurant.
The salmon and prosciutto sandwich was delicious! The French onion soup was good also. I tried the Turkey gumbo my fiance ordered because he wasn't eating as fast as usual. It was ok, nothing to rave about. But I liked the atmosphere of the venue. The sandwich portions are small so you may want to order a side to fill you up. I'd compare it to the size of a costco hotdog, but WAY tastier. I'll definitely be back for that sandwich.
Delicious! Had the La roulade de canard fume
Smoked Duck, a duck with Hatch green chilies and a cheese with chili soup. Cant wait for lunch here again soon!
Always a great lunch! Amazing quality. Yummy soups and salads with local fresh ingredients. Always stop here when in Sacramento for work.
Damn fantastic cream of mushroom soup and some great live music to go with on this rainy day! 😍 Definitely coming back to try the sandwiches and salads!
I had a hard time not giving 5 stars here. I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed with the food nor the device. Food is always FANTASTIC. Ingredients are fresh and local, bread is baked in house, soups are phenomenal. There is very limited seating and the line gets long during lunch hours so I recommend coming a little early. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the price. For a soup and sandwich you are looking at about $20. Not that it isn't worth it....I think it totally is... It's just pricey. All in all, I love this place and constantly recommend it for those that can afford it 😉
I've been here on a few occasions and I love the place. The new (not really new anymore but different owners since Chef Daniel) owners are amazing and they make classic French dishes that will not disappoint. I had the Duck Pate and Brie sandwich today with the Blue Crab Bisque. Oh wow it was delicious! My two year old loved the soup! I have also had the French Onion and it is very good as well. Great cafe! I will be going there often!
Great restaurant. I got the duck sandwich and my beautiful wife got the Pate sandwich. We are both please and both will get married here. No but seriously Services got enough food is good. There was also live music at lunch time. I like the location as well. Very clean, I just wish my sandwiches was a little bigger
This place has excellent soups and sandwiches. The sandwiches are all made with really high quality ingredients and are just plain delicious. One of the really good ones has melty brie and fig. If you can't make up your mind and want to try multiple sandwiches, you can ask super nicely and the chef will make a half and half sandwich. And don't forget the soups! Perfect on a chilly day and sometimes a nice cold soup on a hot day. The place is tiny though so you might not find a place to sit, which is fine if you're just getting a sandwich.
WOW! Even though I've worked at Park Tower across the street from this place for 3-1/2 years, today was my first visit! After tasting the soups I got (tomato basil and cream of mushroom with truffle oil) I'm thinking to myself - WHY MAN! Why haven't I been coming here for YEARS!! The soup selection was off the charts (six or so different varieties, which is why I got two - and apparently they change). The sandwiches look amazing too! DEFINITELY will be visiting many more times!
