Tower Cafe

What a treat! We ate in the outside area, which was lush with greenery. So beautiful. The service was top notch- patient and helpful as we decided on our order.
And the food! I had the All Week Special, with scrambled eggs and the bourbon glazed ham, and added sourdough toast. It was enough for two people to share, in my opinion. The toast was so fresh, and I think made on site. Yum! The eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were scrumptious, and the ham was such a generous size that I took it home and had a great ham sandwich for dinner.
I highly recommend the Tower Cafe!

Just had the Skirt steak and eggs and I can say is DAMN! that was freaking delicious! Perfectly cooked medium rare perfect char. They need to host a seminar on how to cook a perfect skirt steak. My poached eggs were on point and the potatoes were crunchy and tender. I finish it off with a peach Italian soda. I am left wanting to order one to go.

We will be back this place is a must try when you're in Sac.

Tower cafe is a great brunch spot in Sac! Definitely recommend the famous French Toast and the Malaysian Chicken Sandwich. They have seasonal agua frescas (we got the mango and it was so refreshing). For drinks, they provide one free refill snd they even let us take that refill togo.

There is a parking lot behind the tower which is nice but it can get crowded at times. We went during brunch on a weekday and got seated immediately, but there was a very long wait to get our food.

This place is decorated so beautifully. Whether you sit outside or inside, it is a beautiful, vibrant atmosphere. There is a fountain outside that you can walk by while waiting to be seated as well.

Overall, amazing food, amazing atmosphere, average service, but all around great spot.

Great brunch at Tower Cafe! The bright spots:

1. It's beautiful. The patio is lush with fountains and cool nooks. Best patio breakfast lunch spot we have found!
2. While the wait is long they have perfected the comfort-while-you-wait-and-efficiency! Tons of shaded spots to sit and wait, a streamlined text/line setup, and some people got cocktails while they waited!
3. The food was really good. I got the custardy/ baguette French toast and it was incredible. Too rich for me to finish, but that's me. A little soggier in the middle than I enjoy but undeniably a great dish.
4. Service was good! No complaints.

Their Benedict is supposed to be amazing so I'm taking my big appetite sons back for that next!

My friend and I went here on a Saturday around 4:10pm recently and there was no wait! We were allowed to seat ourselves since the restaurant was empty at that time.

We ordered the Baja Crab Melt w/ Potato Salad and the Borracho Burger w/ Fries. Then we got our food and I loved how large the portions are since I wasn't expecting that at first. I also loved how stuffed the crab melt was. It's nice how they give you the option to choose what side you want to go with your entree. I knew I had to get the potato salad and I liked how thick it is.

I'd recommend this place! I felt the crab melt tasted fresh at first and I liked how stuffed it was. There were times where I wish it had a stronger crab flavor to it, but the burger was good throughout the meal so I'd recommend getting that. The potato salad was very good too!

Swayed by Yelp reviews, I took a chance on this restaurant. At first glance of the online menu I didn't have high hopes. Rarely does a global menu like the one they offer make much sense or work.

When I arrived I curiously pondered the size of this building that that was marked "Tower". Is this entire building the restaurant. But, as I walked up, I realized it was also a movie theatre. The restaurant was right next to it. And then I saw the beautiful greenery surrounded patio. I wanted to sit there on this warm spring day! Seemed so relaxing.

I was a party for one so I thought I'd be able to slip right in for a seat. When I got tot he hostess, she told me the wait was one hour. For one? She said maybe 50 min. Other parties around me who had several people in their group were given estimates for 1.5 or more hour waits. GULP! What is this place? Why is it so popular.

I ordered a bit extra knowing I'd bring home leftovers. I ordered the vegan Benedict and a French toast.

Ok. The eggs Benedict made my eyes roll behind my head in blissful pleasure. People, this was a game changing eggs Benedict. I usually like eggs Benedict but rarely order it because English Muffins bore me. The Tower eggs Benedict is on homemade corn bread with a generous slice of ham. And if you're an egg fan and food smothered in hollandaise sauce, then this is for you! The combination between a gently sweet corn bread topped with salty ham, juicy tomato, an egg blob and the buttery fatness of hollandaise made this dish work.

The potatoes were nothing to write home about. I was so satisfied with my Benedict I didn't need the potatoes.

Now, let's talk about the French Toast. This was serious French Toast. Also something I never order because I'm not a French Toast fan but for some reason I wanted it on this day. I think it is because the waiter said it's a signature dish. Yeah, yup! It was the bomb! I could only eat a few bites but I now have French Toast leftovers.

Happy happy me!

Hidden gem! I have been living in Sacramento for almost a year and a half now and I went to the tower café for the first time. I am shocked that I have not been here before! First, I love the innovative menu and the combination of menu items!

We ordered the Eggs Tower, Monte Cristo, and drinks! I am going to start with the drinks first because I had something that I have never ended tried before. I ordered the Raspberry Sake drink (I believe it was called a raspberry bloom). The base of the drink was sparkling sake, which was combined with a house-made raspberry syrup. I highly recommend if you like mimosas with a fruitier flavor. The Eggs Tower is an eggs benedict, but the base is cornbread instead of an English Muffin. The different bottom made the texture much more pleasant and the overall dish more flavorable! The Monte Cristo was just as thought as the other dishes but I did not enjoy bechamel sauce on it. It was really thick and kind of bland, which is why I took off one star.

The nice thing is the Tower Cafe has nice outdoor seating that is large enough to accommodate groups. There is also parking behind the Tower Cafe in a lot, which makes everything a lot easier!

Interesting and unique decor at this place! Fast and friendly service! There's plenty of seating and their outdoor patio is beautiful.

Make sure you order the french toast- it is too die for

I finally came to check out Tower Cafe! We for dinner and chose to sit outside because it was absolutely beautiful. They were pretty busy but our service was there when we needed them, great service. I was craving pasta so I ordered the spicy salmon linguini. It was tasty but different. The garlic bread was bomb. The Thai steak was so so soooo good. I would definitely order that if I come again for dinner.

Love the outdoor seating. This place is a classic and a must try if you're in Sacramento. Good food, great service and spectacular outdoor seating.
