This tiny Delta town is suddenly brimming with cafes, studios and other fun discoveries. Here’s where to go and what to see.
Visitors cross Main street as they shop in Isleton, Calif., on Sunday, July 30, 2023. The city of Isleton is making a resurgence as a travel destination, due to some new cafes, restaurants and art galleries that have opened up in this small town that exists along the Sacramento River.
As the highway winds along a levee hugging the Sacramento River, Isleton soon emerges as a curious hodgepodge of wooden and tin-pressed buildings that look transported from an Old West movie set. Isleton residents Mike Abood and Sarah McGee opened a charming cafe called The McBoodery during the pandemic.
Certainly, businesses struggled during the pandemic, but Isleton’s urban transplants say the downtime gave them a chance to fall in love with its less harried lifestyle. Theresa Jessie, a photographer from Alameda, has been visiting Isleton for decades, mostly to get out on the water, do some fishing and “clear my head.” She’s made Isleton her home and opened her 40 Main Art Gallery in 2021 to display her own photos of Delta landmarks, as well as paintings by other local artists.
By the end of the year, Isleton’s dining scene is expected to expand to include Latin fare at another new restaurant called Memo-Os, courtesy of Bay Area chef Guillermo Vidal and his business partner Oscar Hernandez.
