Crema's Take

Tucked into a historic garage space in downtown Sacramento, Capitol Garage blends nostalgic charm with genuinely good food and coffee, earning devoted regulars who keep coming back for the welcoming staff and inventive menu items like fried artichoke salad and truffle fries alongside solid breakfast fare. The lively, sometimes-loud atmosphere makes it perfect for lingering over a traditional espresso drink or catching up with friends, though be prepared for the energetic vibe rather than quiet contemplation. It's the kind of place where you feel like a regular from your first visit, with kitchen and service that care enough to make both the food and the experience memorable.

Really great place with a friendly staff and intimate atmosphere. We went for breakfast and the menu was fantastic with a bit of something for everyone. The waiter who served us was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely go back to try now menu items!

My friends and I don’t usually splurge, but this place was worth it. The staff treated us like regulars, making us feel right at home. The truffle fries, burger, and flatbreads were favorites at our table, and the portions were generous. The trendy décor and relaxed vibe made the meal feel special without being too formal.

We had "Brunch" on a Saturday prior to a Broadway performance. They were quite busy but able to seat us right away. It is so noisy that we considered going somewhere else but werent sure we could make that happen in time. The hostess and servers were really awesome, professional and friendly. The Brunch menu is very limited and does not offer much for people with dietary limitations. They do not offer anything from their regular menu during Sat Brunch. We both ordered their brunch burger (med rare). In spite of being packed and having 2 large tables (14-15 people each) they got our food out in plenty of time for us to make our performance. I ordered mine without the bun so the egg on top was very visible. It was raw..I mean the egg white was raw with a paper thin fragment of white on the bottom. They did cook the burgers perfectly which is difficult to do when serving multiple people. The fries were ..well unremarkable. For some reason, when you order a burger without a bun all restaurants and I mean all .. seem to need to fill up the space with extra lettuce, making it difficult to cut up and eat without food going everywhere. Due to the noise and raw egg we will not be going back

Bad first impression. A lukewarm greeting by the host/bartender, oddly aggressive when we asked not to be seated in a dark back corner of the nearly empty dining room. The menu was not the same as was shown on the website. Apparently there is a new chef, so the menu didn't have the items we were hoping to try. I chose the tofu mushroom sandwich which was tasty but could have used a paper wrap as it falls apart when picked up. It came with a side of fries (lukewarm like our greeting). No side was mentioned on the new menu because it would have been nice to sub a side salad if possible. My companion ordered the taco salad, kind of pricey to not come with a protein, so paid extra to add garlic seared chicken. The rather small and not very cold salad arrived. The chicken was tender but the taste was uninspired. On the bright side, our server, Joe, was helpful and attentive considering he was the only one waiting tables at the time, but we won't be coming back.

The food options were amazing. I got the delicious fried chicken sandwich but was jealous of my niece's fired artichoke salad!! Portions were generous, wedge fries yummo. I'll be back! Oh! Almost forgot to mention my lavender mocktail. Refreshing!
