Bella Bru Cafe
5038 Fair Oaks Blvd, Carmichael, CA
Crema's Take
“Bella Bru Cafe is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot in Carmichael that shines brightest during unhurried mornings and lazy afternoons, when you can linger over house-made pastries like their standout cinnamon rolls and Nutella croissants alongside carefully made coffee. The cafe strikes that perfect balance between a quick counter-service grab-and-go and a destination for long conversations with friends and family, especially in their charming back dining room where the atmosphere feels genuinely warm and welcoming. While their full breakfast and lunch menu can be uneven, the best dishes—like their quiche and eggs benedict—remind you why locals keep coming back and recommending this spot to friends.”

Very nice place, it gets very crowded around noon you might have to wait for a table if you have time limit might be a bit difficult.
First time visiting this spot. Pretty crowded restaurant. But no trouble getting a table. I had the Bella Bru Club. It was very good, but it was a club. Nothing to write home about. It is something that I'd order again. The fries were nice and crispy, and the mango smoothie was pretty awesome! Our food was brought to us, and that was the last time we saw the server. Service could use some work. This place seems more of a coffee bar, with some food options. If you like coffee, there's lots of options for you.
Beautiful atmosphere great place to bring your friends or family especially to the restaurant in the back but so far the only good thing on the menu I’ve had was the mushroom pizza (8/10) the fettuccine with steak I had tonight I’d give a 0 if I could but the atmosphere was nice so (4/10) the steak was dry and tasted like burnt char! For an extra $7 ?? I asked for salted butter on the side and was brought unsalted butter that didn’t help one bit I won’t be ordering that ever again i wanted to end the night good since my dinner was ruined so I tried some of there desserts from Bella bru tonight and I was really disappointed I spent $40 of my hard earned dollars on the chocolate cake , fruit cake , salted caramel cake and banana pie all really flavorless and dry would of been better off getting a sweet treat from Safeway bakery it honestly tasted like store bought ingredients nothing tasted fresh and my family did not enjoy it one bit when I brought it home for them to try the lady who helped me couldn’t tell me much about the desserts and said one of the slices had white chocolate but when my sister tasted it there was no white chocolate so I was purchasing with a blind eye I paid 8.99 a slice and would appreciate my money back if a manager sees this review
This was my first time here and has been recommended by trusted friends in Sacramento. I ordered the eggs benedict with potatoes, Nutella croissant for later and a large drip coffee. The cashier who took my order was very personable and cheerful. I went to a nice table outside to wait for my food. I received my eggs and the manager who brought my food happily brought me condiments. The eggs benedict was fantastic. High quality eggs and ham. The hollandaise was fresh and perfectly seasoned. When I went back inside for a box, I was met with more happy service. These people have been trained well! I will be coming back! BTW I later had the Nutella croissant and it was delicious!
I love the family atmosphere, how you order 1st at the counter, then sit yourself. I had the cinnamon roll, and the Quiche Lorraine with a side of bacon. Everything was a 10/10. My husband had the Belgian waffle. I also came back on a later date and tried the southwest burrito. 🌯 A 10 out of 10 with the peppers and onions.
