My Sister's Cafe Courtyard

Wonderful food & mission! Their move to the indoor/outdoor space on the 1st floor of the John Moss Federal Building (with convenient order ahead/pickup window) has been amazing. Tofu Banh Mi is my go-to 😋
Get a book from their Little Free Library and enjoy on the spacious patio!

Multiple visits: Okay so if you avoid the coffee (go across the street for that) this is a totally decent lunch spot. The OJ is fresh. Thai peanut salad pork wrap is healthy. Other lunch specials and snacks are worth it.

1st visit: Not a fan of my macchiato. It was huge and milky--everything a macchiato should not be. If you need a coffee, I recommend getting an espresso.

Wonderfully unpretentious little gem! Bahn Mi and Chai coffee were well above par, staff were lovely. Couldn't recommend any higher. Thanks ladies

Easy ordering from the window in the gated area to the left of the main entrance. Staff is really nice, service is usually quick, and contributes to a good cause.

Food offerings are lackluster to standard. Think cafeteria, not a restaurant. The Vietnamese coffee has a distinct funk to the brew but is a worthy dark roasted pick-me-up. The banh mi has the major components but is a far cry from something authentic. The meats in general are not noteworthy. The curry seems distinctly to be what I recognize as the yellow Chinese powder variety, which is not my favorite regional curry but makes it one of the most complex flavored offering beside the pesto.

Overall: Nothing bad. Nothing outstanding. Good enough for sustenance and support a good cause.

My favorite place in downtown for lunch when I’m in the office for the day. Food is delicious and always amazing, staff and service is amazing as well. Prices are also very affordable. My favorite is the curry chicken sandwich. I look forward to coming into the office just so I can get this sandwich for my snack lol

They didn’t toast the avocado toast at all. It’s just 2 pieces of sliced bread with avocado.

This place is located at the first floor building. There are two ways to order either you order it outside or you need to go through the security in order to go inside to order and eat inside. I have to say the food is very delicious and affordable. The only issue I have is the menu is so small and very hard to read (especially the cursive).

The overall dine in experience was excellent and employees are awesome as well. It is also very clean. I will definitely come back if I ever happen to be at Sacramento.

Friendly people, decent food, good price. Recommend the teriyaki chicken plate, not the ramen. The macha milk tea with boba is decent.

Asian inspired cafe with delightful story of origin. Nice and calm with inside and outside sitting area. Secure inside because you have to pass security in Federal building but you can choose outside window without security check. A wide variety of beverages and add on option. Delighting to help organization while having lunch as opposed to large corporation

great food, supporting a wonderful cause. I had the pork Banh Mi sandwich with black ice tea to drink. I will be back.

I went here today it was closed!!!

I went to get an espresso double shot, and I realized that this place is for a cause, I fell in love. I'll definitely come back. And can't wait to go to the new location.

Please update your hours. We arrived an hour after “opening” and came to a sign on the door that says they will open back up 2 hours later. Real bummer as this was the ONLY vegan option in the morning anywhere near.

Unfortunately really did not enjoy the pork banh mi sandwich. Felt not authentic and too much soy sauce in the pork. Sorry.The spiced chai latte was decent.
