Orphan
3440 C St, Sacramento, CA
Crema's Take
“This Sacramento gem excels at the art of leisurely mornings, with a sunlit terrace that invites you to linger over their standout pancakes and creative breakfast dishes like the avocado scramble. The staff radiates genuine warmth even during busy rushes, and while they're cash-only (a quirk worth planning for), they thoughtfully offer single pancake portions so you can taste without overcommitting. It's the kind of place where every detail—from the quality ingredients to the friendly hostess greeting—signals that someone cares about making your visit special.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

What a gem. Delicious food. Just tell them to use butter instead of corn oil and you’ll be all set. I also love that they have the option of one pancake. Brilliant for those wanting a taste but not too many carbs. Just note it’s cash only (which is awesome! Cash is king!)
From the outside, the restaurant looks pretty cozy. However, we were a bit worried when we found out it only accepts cash, since we don’t have any. (Seriously, why should I pay a fee to get cash from an ATM?) Is it a tax thing? I couldn’t believe this in America. And in the…
I finally found a parking spot to try this cafe . The staff was super friendly . It was busy this morning surprisingly but no one seemed to mind the wait . Parking is still atrocious, but the service was nice. However , I’m a little underwhelmed with the food and coffee. The…
