Best brunch in Sacramento, CA

Brunch in Sacramento, CA lives or dies on two things: the coffee and the egg. Roasters maps the cafés in Sacramento, CA where both are taken seriously — small kitchens with seasonal menus, baristas dialling in espresso behind the bar, and the kind of room you'd want to spend a Sunday morning in. The guide draws on the 34 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Sacramento, CA.

Booking is sometimes possible, often not. The rule of thumb in Sacramento, CA: arrive before 10am on weekdays, before 9am on weekends, or after 1pm when the first wave clears. Roasters lists each café's typical wait times and whether they take reservations.

The best brunch cafés in Sacramento, CA share a few traits: a short, focused menu over a 20-item brunch overload; a coffee program that doesn't take a back seat to the food; and a steady flow that doesn't make you queue for 90 minutes.
