An absolutely amazing vegan restaurant! The interior is very cute, considering how small the places they do have quite a bit of seating, and they do allow for reservations. We were seated very quickly, had someone come over and check on us for drinks, and then a few minutes later took our food order. Everything came out fairly quickly, and was served on cute/unique dishes. The chicken waffles was really good, though personally I would want to eat a lot of the components separately (just personal preference), and the biscuits and gravy was not at all what I expected it to be, but was absolutely delicious. It was wonderful to be able to go to a restaurant and eat anything. I wanted off the menu, without worry about cross-contamination and allergies. It should be noted that this restaurant is upstairs so you will need to climb a set of stairs to access the dining room, but they do have an elevator as well. We will definitely be back!

This place is a gem! One of my favorite specialty restaurants. It's small and gets booked fast. Parking is a pain but the inconveniences are worth it. I'm am always impressed with their food, creativity, and service.

If you know, you know! Veg Cafe is upstairs above Thai Basil, and it was such a pleasant experience. I came for lunch with a co-worker and we seated ourselves at a window table overlooking J Street. It was my first time visiting, and I opted for the chocolate mint expresso martini from the specials board to start. For lunch, I chose the pesto pasta. Everything that I ordered was beautifully presented and flavorful! Our server was prompt and checked in on us from time to time without being overbearing. The prices are reflective of the location, but overall, a good place to grab a plant-based lunch and catch up with a co-worker!

My friend told me about this place. It's upstairs from Thai Basil, so I got a little confused with which door to use. Once I found the right door, I went up the stairs, and I was inside this beautiful space with lots of natural light from the windows. The all vegan brunch menu had tons of delicious looking options. I wanted a chocolate chip waffle, but I'm weird about gluten-free stuff (I usually don't care for it), so I decided on the biscuits and gravy instead since the biscuits weren't gluten free. I usually don't like impossible sausage, but the gravy was delicious and the biscuits were perfection. My partner got the breakfast sandwich that comes on a waffle, and it was super good too. Awesome place with great food, all-gender bathroom, and super nice staff.

My fiancé brought me here for my birthday dinner. This place is above Thai Basil - it's a cute little spot with some plants and sofas around :) Ambience is casual. We sat near the window and had a nice view of the street with trees. They have these cute spring themed cocktails. I got the Butterfly and Fiance got another drink I can't remember. We got the spring bruschetta and a side of Aaron's fries. The bruschetta was AMAZING and super fresh. My fiancé doesn't like asparagus but he was able to eat the bruschetta and wanted more. I got the spring primavera and he for the mayor burger. Everything was tasty and the food came out pretty fast. I'd recommend to non-vegetarians as well and would definitely come back again to try a different dish!

This place needs more love from Sacramento, because the food here is sensational. Veg Café went fully plant-based in 2019, survived the pandemic, and continues to deliver flavor-packed dishes that rotate seasonally. It doesn't get more "farm-to-fork" than this. Recently I stopped by with a friend to experience the Winter Menu and we were both impressed. Every dish - from starter to dessert - was delicious. We couldn't even narrow down a favorite because everything we tried we enjoyed and would order again. I personally enjoy that Veg doesn't rely on using faux meats and truly sticks to keeping plants the focus. If you want to taste what plant-based should taste like, this is your place. Pro tip: Check the specials board for the latest and greatest!

What a find this cafe was! My sister brought me here for lunch today and I loved everything about it. The ambience & decor is eclectic & charming. I loved sitting upstairs by the window with the sun beaming through. The chandeliers were a perfect touch. Our server was Sean and his personable manner and attentiveness were appreciated. He recommended a whiskey sour & it was utterly divine. My sister & I shared the Crepe Florentine as well as the Almond Ricotta Toast- scrumptious!
