Yes, great food. I've gotten the quiche Lorraine a couple times it's to die for their ice. Drinks are pretty good. It is self-service pretty much but other than that it's great.

Saturday, 7/06/2024 - with today being 111 degree, it was just too hot to cook. So... we went and tried Bella Bru Cafe. Address is 5038 Fair Oaks Blvd, Carmichael, CA 95608. It's located at the corner of Arden and Fair Oaks Blvd. There are other businesses in this little Plaza. Matteo's restaurant is a few doors down. Upon arrival... Pros 1) lots of parking. Nice big parking lot. 2) has indoor and outdoor seating. 3) cashier was very nice. 4) clean Cafe. The table we sat at was clean. 5) we ordered French Dip, burger, side salad and sweet potato fries. They give you a stand with a letter. Then they bring you your food. 6) foods were good. Bread was pretty thick in French Dip meal. Burger was cooked medium rare and good. 7) they had a little sports bar-ish in the back of the restaurant. 8) there were lots of goodies you can buy if you have a sweet tooth: cookies, pastries, cheese cakes, tiramisu, bread, etc. 9) there are two separate bathrooms for men or women. Clean. Cons 1) there was only one cash register opened when we arrived. So only 1 line. 2) you have to go back in that one line to wait to ask to get liquid refills. At least I did and I saw 2 other customers did too. Conclusion Cute little restaurant. I didn't like having to get back in the same ordering line just to ask for a soda refill and water refill. But foods were ok, desserts tempting (I had self control today), bathroom clean, staff nice, lots of drinks on the menu, and nice big parking lot. I liked this place. It was simple. Didn't take long to get our meals. It wasn't loud so we were able to hear each other talk.

such a sweet cafe spot! stopped by for the sunrise special which consisted of two eggs any style, potato's, and toast. for mine, i got a side of bacon. for my drink, i got the mango tea. its a bit more on the bitter side even with a packet of sugar. wish it was a lil sweeter. upon entering, you pay at the register and a staff will bring your order to your table. friendly staff :-) they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. it can get pretty busy but the space feels open so it's not too congested.

They have Sunday fun day all you can happy hour all day. . After 7pm on a Sunday they close the main dining room and open the patio and bar area. I was like what??? . Back patio - so classy, simple, fancy and such a good time to have some happy hour pizza and appetizers with friends and just catch up. . We had the mushroom pizza which was a good sharing with 4 people, so 1 PC per person was perfect on a hot day which we weren't too hungry. . The chicken arugula spinach salad with goat cheese was a special we had and found it light and refreshing on a warm evening. . Overall the service was great. I would come back and enjoy some more days in the patio here. The vibe was so relaxing. Oh and the teramisu looked so good! I think I need to come back for that slice of cake. Since I did skip it that day to he good. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

Best French Dip, consistently! Fresh wonderful salads. Etc, pizzas Owner/Manager usually on property Waitstaff very kind, efficient, drinks are made & served cold, carefully and promptly. Isabella (waitstaff) made our lunch with humor, patience. PS. Best Tomato Bisque! Bread! Desserts, too.

My good friend lives nearby, so we come here often. Mandy is the best; super friendly; when she sees my friend coming, she automatically brings out the "usual" - a big glass of iced tea! (Which is great, by the way). We like the salads, sandwiches, soups. Nice spot for a glass of wine or cocktail, too. Next time, might try the salmon salad and/or Louisiana fried chicken sandwich!

Loved loved loved this place for a nice spot to do work at and have a nice coffee and something small to eat. Very large inside and staff were very friendly. Ordered coffee and just sat for a few hours doing homework and enjoying the ambiance. Will definitely be coming back for a full service meal and when I do I'll update review but until then still a very nice area to go to breakfast from their coffee alone. Lots of parking as well.

The service is great..There are a large assortment of sandwiches and cakes and pies..I came here for desert...Soon there will be pictures..Yumm..Come here for a light lunch or some delicious desert..Bella Bru is amazing plus there coffee drinks are keen!! :)
