About Us
Owned by sisters Willow and Ophelia, Autumn's Cafe is inspired by our grandmother, who taught us everything we know. Growing up, she taught us how to bake and share joy. Before we moved to California, she gave us her cookbook, full of the recipes we use everyday at Autumn's Cafe. So here's to great food, great company, and Grandma Autumn!

Meet Us
We are sisters Ophelia and Willow, who have been dreaming of running a cafe since we were young. Born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, by our parents Betty and James. Our names come from their favorite tree, Willow, and their favorite play, Hamlet. Ophelia is the eldest daughter and went to the University of Pennsylvania, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Economics. Willow completed the Professional Pastry Arts Program at Boston University Metropolitan College. After working in various restaurants, Willow as a pastry chef, and Ophelia as a kitchen manager, we decided it was time to create our own cafe, with much encouragement from our grandmother. We moved to California in 2023 and found the perfect spot in Sacramento. It has taken a lot of work to get here, however, we are so grateful to own Autumn’s Cafe here in California.
