Betty Wine Bar & Bottle Shop

Betty Wine Bar & Bottle Shop recently popped up on my Instagram, and my wife and I didn’t hesitate to check it out. Safe to say, we’ll be back! I started my morning with an amazing latte—props for the beautiful coffee art—and the “Betty Sandwich,” which was absolutely packed with flavor. My wife ordered the shakshuka, which leaned on the spicier side for her, but I thought it had just the right amount of heat. And let’s talk about the homemade biscuits—an absolute must! Especially when paired with their jam. While I’m not much of a tea drinker, my wife enjoyed the Oolong Dark tea, describing it as full-bodied and tasteful. The atmosphere was everything you’d want for a weekend morning, with a cozy indoor setting and outdoor seating for those looking to soak up the sun. They have brunch offerings and are open 9am - 9pm as of 3.29.25 With so many delicious-looking dishes left to try, there’s no doubt we’ll be returning soon! Highly recommend giving this place a visit.

Great date night spot. The wine tasting was nice. Each pour explained, which was lovely. I wish there were a couple more affordable bottles, but the quality is high. Mostly (all?) European wines. Good snacks. Seasonal menu (I wanted a specific dish I saw but nothing similar was on the menu the night I went). Good ambience. Definitely check the budget. If I lived closer, I'd join the wine club just for the corkage discount.

Went for Tuesday tea time and the biscuits were perfectly delicious! Unfort, the tea was much too subtle for me, although I appreciated that it was a unique one, 30 year Hakka Pomelo. Staff were very friendly, so I'm sure I'll be back!

A very fun and cozy wine bar, with some tasty eats. The peach cobbler was actually surprisingly awesome, as were some of the other dishes we tried. Staff was very friendly, food came out quick, and the ambience is really nice. They also have a bunch of authentic snacks and drinks you can purchase to go.

Very attentive service, quick food and coffee service for breakfast. Beautiful clean place, simple and delicious menu. The oolong teas are excellent. Try the chorizo breakfast sandwich.

Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful and comfy back patio. Food was delectable. Only suggestion I have is....well the trout ceviche was called "Mt.Lassen trout", I think they mean Eagle lake trout...? Mt. Lassen is a volcano, and unless they're talking about trout located in a very tiny pond or Alpine lake near the mountain, I think they're referring to the very popular and unique trout that is located in Eagle Lake which has pink flesh like salmon. Just curious.

I can't recommend this wine bar enough! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and the staff made sure I felt at home. They suggested a crisp white wine that was absolutely divine, and paired it with a flavorful charcuterie board. The ambiance was rustic and charming, with wood accents and a lovely fireplace that created the perfect setting for a cozy night.

Lovely neighbourhood wine bar. Enjoyed 3 different wines on a rainy day on the back patio. Slight small choice by the glass but lots of enjoy by the bottle. Friendly staff, all willing to recommend places in their town. Small bites to enjoy. Well priced.

The new Betty is amazing. The new ownership has taken a great business and helped elevate the food and the pairings. The staff is kind and knowledgeable. The food is delicious and packed with flavor from a wide range of cuisines. The carpaccio and wine pairing was a personal favorite. Over a few visits we've worked through most of the menu and everything has been phenomenal. I loved this place under the old ownership but Chef Chris' influence and attention to detail is apparent in the amazing new menu and meticulously paired wines. Easily some of the best food in Sacramento.

When I found out that local Michelin Star Restaurant Localis took over Betty Wine, and started serving coffee and croissants on Sundays I had to check it out. I came on a Sunday morning around opening time and it wasn't too busy. It's a small place recommend for small groups 2-4 people. I ordered an iced latte and an almond croissant. The almond croissant is good and the Iced Latte was a wow. As I sip on my Iced Latte, I kept saying wow. Because this coffee is really good. I would highly recommend this place, been to almost every coffee shop in Sacramento and this is one of the best coffee I've had! The cords and is good as well and would recommend!

Too much fun enjoying my friends we didn't snap any photos!!! How oh how did I never notice this place?! Overall for the price and vibe I enjoyed myself and would definitely return. The service was top tier! For the restaurant to be packed the staff did a phenomenal job ensuring our glasses were never empty and our food was fresh at every turn. Drinks: Thibaud Boudignon, Cabernet Franc, Loire Valley, Lopez de Heredia, Vina Cubillo, Crianza, Tempranillo, Rioja, Spain Bites: Cheese and Charcuterie 8/10 Betty Mac and Cheese With Chorizo 10/10 flavorful Thai Beef Carpaccio- friends loved it Deviled Eggies- It was really good . Nonna's Pasta- 7/10 bit of a spicy kick. And came with a bit of Focaccia Focaccia and Butter 10/10 how can you go wrong with fresh hot bread

I am really loving this part of Sacramento in the "R corridor". There are so many great businesses and the parking is great. Betty is another cool place to hang out. They have a lovely outdoor patio in the back and few tables out front. Betty has small plates, wine, champagne and coffee!! It's hard to beat all that. I enjoyed a burnt sugar vanilla latte and it was lovely. We ordered focaccia bread that had a yummy crispy top with course salt served with a smooth butter. We also tried the fancy French onion dip with chips. The dip is made with creme freshener so it's very smooth and light. I can't wait to go back. Service is great because you order at the bar and keep an open tab until you're done. No fussy back and forth, very chill.

Wow!!! I honestly think this is one of the top spots in Sacramento right now. The coffee is extraordinary. The food is truly homemade and amazing. The wine selection is unique and spectacular. The atmosphere is comfortable, energetic, chill, it's kind of whatever you want it to be. I really hope you will go try it soon! I recommend the biscuit. I mean really where else can you get a fresh homemade biscuit in Sacramento except your own kitchen? And when was the last time you made a good biscuit or any biscuit at all? And it comes with house made preserves and house made butter! Yes, you read that right!

Literally obsessed with little miss Betty wine bar! Stopped by with the husband one Friday for an aperitivo and instantly fell in love with the vibes. The staff are so nice and helpful. The bottle shop is so unique and has any and every wine you could ever ask for! I opted for a glass of white wine and the husband ordered a wine based version of an aperol spritz. Fabulous! And their food? Soooo good! Loved the roasted fingerlings and whipped feta are to die for! Such a cute date night spot. A couple of weeks later, I brought my friend in for the Monday, $20 pizza & wine night! I think this might've been the best pizza I've ever tried in my whole life! It was a peach and balsamic pizza with a glass of chilled red wine! Yum! I can't to come back and be a usual!

Great place to check out. I had the Caesar salad and a glass of bubbles. Awesome place to chill in the back patio on a sunny day.

This spot is a great addition to Sacramento's wine bar scene! I thought the shop was adorable, and the patio was very cute and cozy. The bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine and directed me to the perfect glass. They have a few snacks and food items, and I was able to enjoy their chips and dip. When I asked if it was safe for celiacs they assured me it was naturally gluten free and that they would be mindful of cross contact. I'll most certainly be back soon!

I was hoping to really like Betty 2.0, but I have to say after trying the lunch here last week, it's a Betty two point no. I love the latte from everyday having fun...five stars and no complaints on my coffee. However, the Nonna pasta and Mac and cheese has work to do. I live a couple blocks from here and I love fresh pasta so I was really looking forward to this. However, I am afraid the chef did not taste the food before serving. Plus, the menu for Nonna's pasta did not mention any kick or spiciness in the pasta but when it numbed my tongue and I couldn't taste any flavor except for pain in my mouth, I'm not happy. I dislike spicy foods and the picture looks so nice, but it was not good. I was so disappointed that although I liked the pasta and the texture of the noodles, I could not eat it. So I ordered a mac and cheese pasta instead, and it was way too salty! I understand that when I dine out, foods are generally more salty than how I cook at home, but it was so salty, I could not taste the cheese in the Mac and cheese. I could not tell if the pasta was too salty itself or the sauce or the chips on top, but the most important thing about cooking is balance. I felt bad and didn't want to return this again, so I boxed it home to fix it myself. Betty, please do better, the fresh pasta is good and the texture is great. Honestly if you just threw on some Raos marinara sauce, I probably would have been fine with it, but please don't make the Nonna's pasta spicy. Let me know if you fix this so I can update my review.

Betty is one of my favorite wine bars in the area- excellent variety of wines to select from, delicious tapas/sandwiches, and cozy urban jungle vibes. The indoor shop features many bottle options for purchase, and occasionally interesting gifts/picnic items for sale. Order at the counter before you grab a seat! Some of our favorite kitchen items include the Italian style sandwiches and the crispy fingerling potatoes. Cozy bistro chairs and tables line the dimly lit interior- or sit out back (my personal fave) under rattan lamps and vining greenery. Such a great little spot to hang out with friends.

Cute wine spot with some good food options! Great Sunday date night with some friends

The indoor & outdoor areas are great for catch up, date nights, or spilling some tea with your favorite wine. The fingerling potatoes and the focaccia bread small plates are my favorites. There is definitely something for a lot of people when it comes to their wine selections and they occasionally have tasting events as well. This is a casual place and can get popular at times but not so loud that you can hear your own conversation. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly so feel free to ask them for any tips/help.

I had high hopes for Betty 2.0 but have been disappointed in my last two visits since it reopened. It used to have dimmer lighting which provided a really cozy, intimate atmosphere and is much brighter now. The wine has gotten more expensive and when I asked a few questions about the wine menu for a recommendation, they weren't able to give me much information. I've tried a few of the new food items- the green curry ceviche was very good, the deviled eggs were decent. The foccacia bread was dry and tough and the Nonna's pasta was so overly salty I couldn't eat it. I didn't feel like it was worth what I paid either time. It's too bad, old Betty was a gem.

Just recently moved into the area and Betty exceeded our expectations! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. We tried the Deviled Eggies and the Mac n Cheese with Chorizo (additional $5). Both dishes were phenomenal and hit the spot. The ambiance was nice and fairly spaced out. I didn't have a chance to see their back patio area but every table in the front room was sat and it didn't feel too crowded which we loved. We will be back again, thank you Betty staff!

I can confidently say I haven't been this excited about a wine bar in a very long time! Betty has a unique selection of wines that are top notch but still reasonably priced and they have a beautifully curated food menu. It is evident the owner truly cares about the experience of their customers - the stemware is high end and we were offered tastings of wines we were considering purchasing which was a very nice touch. The service was amazing and the space was beautiful, we can't wait to come back in the future!

Let me first say that I don't drink. But was excited to try this place out anyways with my friends. It is such a cute place inside and outside. Along with their vast selection of wines, they sell sauces, tinned fish, and other cute pantry favorites. The staff is very attentive and kind. It's a great place to just to hang out with friends. As someone that doesn't drink, bonus points for having a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages. My only wish is that they had more food on the menu. It looks like they did have more food options before.

This is such a cute place for date night or to grab a drink with a friend. They have small bites and I know everyone raves about the whipped feta but the chip and dip were my favorite, so addicting! I had a glass of rosé, it was delicious. My partner had a beer and he said that was decent. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is just street parking but there's plenty around. I can't comment much on the service because you order at the front desk and they bring out your drinks and food, neither bad nor anything to rave about. They have a decent selection of wine bottles to purchase. The inside ambience was cute and hip! I would come back for a drink and small bite to eat and definitely recommend to others.

Cute little wine bar located downtown. Options of 3 wines per varietal. They serve snacks and dishes for pairing. There are no flight options for tasting. I don't believe there was any options for tasting at all. You just basically pic a wine and pay by the glass or bottle. They have a cute patio in the back but it was completely packed on a Saturday afternoon. It's definitely a cute spot for a date or hang out with your girls. I tried two whites and both were not cold enough. It's hard to drink room temperature whites on a hot day. I prefer wine places that offer a flight or tasting options but to each their own. My BF loved his red blend from Rhône. Mine was hard to drink as it was not chilled to my liking. We tried the dip with the trout roe and it was not bad.

Stopped by Betty now that they are doing coffee and light breakfast fare. Americano was outstanding, and croissant was magically buttery and flaky deliciousness. Can't wait to see what's next as Betty evolves as a part of the Localis family.

Exceptional -- highly recommend. Had their mushroom pasta, oysters, deviled eggs, carpaccio, ceviche and charcuterie board plus one crisp white and two bold red glasses. Everything was perfectly executed, from the delicious carpaccio with its harmonious flavors to the creamy and sweet oysters to their freshly made pasta. You cannot go wrong with the food or drinks. The recommended pairings are solid -- loved how the white paired with the oysters and how the reds complimented their heartier dishes. The service is impeccable, and the ambiance lovely with soft, warm lighting -- totally a vibe for dates. I can't wait to be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Dear Betty Thank you for providing a wonderful space to celebrate my little ones first birthday with my family and friends. Some may say with raised eyebrows "A wine bar!?" but they should know that the food is beyond delicious, the wine selection perfection and nonalcoholic options abound. However, the service that your staff provided made the day go smoothly and allowed me to enjoy a gorgeous day filled with love and laughter. Jenna-you were so easy to work with, I appreciate your patience with me and all of my questions! If you're looking for a bit of an escape to a hidden gem of a wine bar, seek out Betty. They provide the space, drink and food. A great place to meet up with friends or lovers, or simply get a gift. You wont regret it!

I'm completely smitten with the Miss Betty wine bar! One Friday, I went in for an aperitivo with my husband and was immediately enamored with the atmosphere. The employees are very kind and supportive. The bottle shop is really distinctive and contains every type of wine you could ever want! The spouse requested a wine-based aperol spritz, while I chose a glass of white wine. Amazing! What about their food? Very nice! The roasted fingerlings were delicious, and the whipped feta is amazing! What a cute place for a date night. A few weeks later, I took my friend to the $20 pizza and wine night on Monday. This pizza may have been the finest I've ever had in my entire life!

Stopped by for some breakfast this morning. Comfortable space, excellent coffee, perfect service. Breakfast sando was good except the chorizo was a tad on the greasy side. Shakshuka was excellent as were the biscuits and jam. Unexpected to find breakfast in a wine shop but a welcome addition to the area.

Betty is kind of tucked away, and in passing you might not know what it is. Finally stopped by with a girlfriend - and glad I did! Intimate space with a great wine selection. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable, which is great if you're like me and enjoy wine but are still learning what to ask for. Had some appetizer snacks and a chocolate mousse dessert to complement the wine, limited menu but both vey tasty. I'll be back!

Very cute, quaint little boutique. Peaceful location, amazing staff and great pours of wine. Worth the visit, and the atmosphere.

I used to love the original Betty. I decided to try out the new Betty. Sad to say they got rid of any beer options. Also most glasses of wine cost around 20$ which seems surprisingly more expensive than the previous menu. The old Betty felt comfortable, and like a neighborhood wine bar. The new vibe definitely has an air of pretentiousness. It's certainly more expensive but does not deliver more on service, atmosphere or wine. Missing the old Betty.

Super cute.... ladies night out place. The only thing that was bizarre was having to get up to go to the counter every time we wanted to order something next....

I'm in love! Betty Wine Bar & Bottle Shop kept popping up on my Instagram and has awesome ratings so far on Yelp so I knew I had to check them out. I'm obsessed with Italian sandwiches and they have some delicious options on their menu. As soon as I read the description for "The Betty" sandwich I decided I had to have one. It's salami, hot capicola, mortadella, provolone, grinder salad and tomato. I ordered to go, but while they were prepping the sandwich I browsed the shop. They have indoor and outdoor seating and both are super cute. The outdoor area is covered and there are plants all over that give it a peaceful vibe. They also have snacks, sauces, spices, treats and a lot of wine available for purchase. The wine is organized by type and it's all priced to dine in- however if you want to take them to go it takes $10 off the price of the bottle. There's a little something for everyone here. The staff was so friendly and while I was waiting we talked about their Thursday wine tasting events and how people are welcome to work remotely from the shop. So fun! Once my order was ready they gave it to me in a little paper bag with the sandwich wrapped nicely along with a pickle and a quality napkin. I took it home to enjoy and it is a hefty little sandwich. The napkin was well appreciated because the sandwich can be a bit messy, but it's worth it to enjoy the medley of flavors they created. So so good!! I also love when sandwich spots include a dill pickle, such a nice touch. This may become my regular sandwich spot and while I'm curious to try more of the menu, The Betty was so good it'll be hard to order other items.

What a little gem! My friend brought me here today (she had already been here once before). The wine and food did not disappoint. I absolutely loved their chilled Albariño wine and their whipped feta (those were my faves of the day). The service was good -- staff was great, but the wait time on the food was a little long (but that whipped feta was worth the wait). We sat in their outdoor garden area, which was peaceful and cute. They have both shaded and u shaded sections. They sell various food products (i.e., jams, chocolate, and tinned fish) and wine to go! Overall, this place is worth the drive into downtown!

3.5 stars but I can't give a half lol. I enjoyed the wine, glasses range from $12-$14 (which is expensive damn in this economy, but pretty standard among wine bars). The wine was good. The two glasses of wine and bread with tip came to $40 and I thought about sharing a bottle with my friend but the options for bottles are in their "retail section" and they have a $10 corkage fee that applies to those as well which sort of seems like a rip off. I'd go back to try some more bites but dicey on the whole bottle thing if I'd venture to try one and still have to pay the corkage fee. **update: based on business owner reply there is no corkage fee, but the menu we viewed had it on it still (: so not sure about ordering it 100% but would suggest to the business to update their menus or have staff relay that message upon check in**

My favorite wine bar in Sacramento! They have great wine (fun tastings on Thursdays), yummy apps, and the best cozy vibe.

The girls and I stopped into Betty last night for the first time. My wine blogger friend aka the wine guru found us a great bottle. The wine was delish. It was perfect for the warmer weather. We got some apps to share. Forgot to take a picture of the bread. Personally I think the food was over priced. The ambiance is giving hipster meets California rich people! The outdoor space in the back was really cute but packed. I will say the people working weren't the friendliest. I would try it again if I could get on the patio!

Finally tried this wine bar and it's really adorable! Feels like a European cafe for sure. Service was knowledgeable and friendly. She gave great recommendations on wine. I had the chopped Italian salad amd it was delicious! I tried the Pinot Grigio that was by the glass and it was actually a rose color which I wasn't actually aware that was a thing but it tasted like a pino Grigio for sure. Definitely will be back!

Came into Betty on a Friday at 3pm to meet a girlfriend who loves this place. What Betty has in charm and coziness is something that I find hard for a lot of newer places to get right. When we first arrived I was loving the experience but some things happened over the course of our visit to make me excited to leave. While Betty is cute and charming, like others have said the options for wine is a bit limited. The gal who helped us was very nice to me but I did notice some irritation radiating off of her when my girlfriend went back and forth with her over three different wines she was deciding on. We were the only two inside, so there wasn't any rush to move us along. Luckily my friend was oblivious to what I was seeing and I found it quite entertaining. We ordered the olives and coppa/cheese plate. While tasty, it's nothing much to write home about and yes, quite pricey. As people began to fill into the space the music volume went up and the calm chill environment turned into a room full of chatter and people squishing there way around a small space that lacks the space to accommodate the amount of people wanting to make a purchase. Overall I find Betty to be a place to meet up with a girlfriend for a quick glass of wine and run off to find somewhere else to grab a bite and chill.

Cute lunch spot! I ordered the garden faccocia and it was to die for. It is their vegetarian sandwich and comes with a nice plump pickle. The staff was very friendly. You order at the counter and find a seat. They have a great selection of wine. The spritz was nice and refreshing. This is the perfect spot for lunch and/ or work. They also have a cute outdoor seating area. I'll be back to try their other sandwiches!

The vibe in Betty 2.0 has totally changed but not in a good way ): It used to be an easy going, approachable wine bar where you could get a few good snacks and glasses of wine without emptying your wallet. Now it feels too pretentious and not what the OG Betty was all about. I'll try again later since it's just reopened.

Stopped in again recently and still really love the selection of wines (by the bottle) and the space is just super quaint - a perfect way to unwind after a hard day at work. The selection isn't extensive simply due to the size of the store (for example, if you're accustomed to K&L in San Francisco) but the selection overall is pretty diverse. There's definitely something for everyone. We settled on a nice bottle of German pinot noir (don't sleep on spätburgunder!) and had a couple of snacks. Aside from the focaccia having a little too much flaky salt on top, the burrata was quite delicious. In terms of the bottle prices - there is no upcharge to open and drink the bottle, but I believe this is built into the price already as there are frequent $10/bottle discounts for ordering online for pickup. As such, it's a reasonable price to be able to sit down and enjoy a nice bottle of wine, especially compared to a restaurant. Can I find the wines cheaper online? Absolutely - if I found something I really liked and wanted to order a case of it, I probably wouldn't get it from Betty, but for a single bottle here or there, absolutely! The best part is that the staff are generally pretty knowledgable about wine so if you're not sure what to get, they can help you navigate the vast wall of labels to find something perfect for your occasion. There's also plenty of street parking in the area since it's a bit away from the busier parts of downtown Sac. Whether you're shopping for a unique/distinctive bottle or if you just want to unwind after work, I highly recommend stopping in.

Ive been wanting to try this place for the longest time & I finally got the chance to. We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday, we had a group of 8 & were told that normally you need a reservation for that many people but they ended up seating us anyways, outside on a 103 degree day. They had fans that barely worked & we were sat in the sun. They brought out the wine that we ordered & didnt give us any information on the wine, no biggy. They sat the 2 bottles on the metal tables, I had to ask 15 minutes later for an ice bucket because the wines were already lukewarm. I think they were irritated that we didnt have a reservation but again, it was our first time. I wish we got better service because there was an automatic 18% tip added to the check.

One of the best neighborhood gems, absolutely love this place. Shoutout to Zane for setting us up with some out front seating on this beautiful night and for his excellent wine recommendation.

Came by to check out the bagel special today! I just gotta say WOOOW what an incredible place! We got the Betty bagel and the Lox bagel and both were great. I was unsure about what wine to choose being i know little to nothing about them but the servers were really knowledgeable and helpful! They let me taste a few wines before I made my pick. We'll be back for sure!

Girlfriend and I just moved into the neighborhood and walked around trying to get the lay of the land Betty was like a gleaming sign of bright wood and greenery. It's a bottle shop, wine accessory shop, lunch spot (good sandwiches), and work spot (plenty of wifi and outlets) If you need help finding wine, any of the staff can help you with a small tasting Having lived in different parts of the Grid, I'll admit I rarely ever ventured past R St so it was a bit of a surprise to find a wine bar this nice. A place walkable in the community with food, wine, and good people - what more could you ask for? We'll definitely be coming back

Such a wonderful experience here! S/o to Gabbie and the other staff member working last night. On top of the amazing wine & food, they were very accommodating to my party very last minute and were wonderful hosts! They offered a vase for the flowers we brought and changed the music to accommodate our tastes. They even brought out plates for a cake we brought and I wish I could have done something more to truly thank them for their hospitality. I couldn't have asked for a better place to host my friend's surprise party and 100% recommend coming here!

Cute location and inside was warm and welcoming. The staff wasn't that friendly and also are a cashless establishment. That was news to us and there's no sign or anything letting customers know. Wine was okay. Not a lot of options and the selections they had were all very young vintage '21 or '22. Burrata and tomato plate was a bit over priced for what you got. I'd recommend something like else. Overall 3/10.

Absolutely darling A must to eat and drink Love the service and the ambience , great selections of wine

Cute outdoor area and the indoor area is small but cute. Great finger foods. Good place to hangout for drinks

The interior of this place is to die for. The inside can get a little loud and cramped but the patio helps for sure. The whipped feta was amazing and the spritz is a must try

Food great, the service was lackluster. When we ordered the two women just lacked any visible joy or approachability. A half grin was the maximum of any pleasantries we received. I thought maybe it was an off night or they were just going through something but after reading other reviews it sounds like maybe it's just their personalities, which is cool and all but maybe don't run a business that is customer facing. They did however, have N/A options which was appreciated but they don't clearly advertise the options. You have to ask for the menu. I might suggest having those menus out and available with the rest of the menus. To note: the young delightful person who brought our food out and helped in the kitchen was incredible sweet and hospitable. It almost makes up for the other two who just really made us feel unwelcome. Food: whipped feta dip, plate of olives, nuts and chips and the meatballs were all exceptional.

The best mid-week treat! Wine, good company and the best bread pudding ever. Love this little spot and cannot wait for the next trip back.

Wine selection is great. Staff is very friendly. The ambiance is perfect for a chill night during happy hour. You'll feel like you stepped into a trendy French wine bar.
