Mmmmm these are all ooh sooo good, yes senorita bread!
Joyce W.

Adj: sumptuous savory sweetness BAD bakers is bad to the sweet center of every bite of their pastries. In particular, we love their senorita bread and enjoy them often. They are always so fresh out of the oven, soft, tender, very slightly crisp on the very edges, and filled with wonderful buttery moistness in their sweet filling of which there's just enough, but not too much. While one to two is really all most of us really need, very few people can stop at just one. Everyone I know want more and I often want at least half a dozen. =P Thankfully, they warm back up so nicely in the microwave (5-7 secs each in a full powered microwave, and yes I know that's an abomination to some not to eat fresh only) that I'm able to control myself and just have a couple at a sitting and then come back for more later. They taste great by themselves, but they're even better with a cup of joe black, or for a more decadent experience, senorita bread is so good on a cold day as a breakfast or afternoon break with a nice big cup of latte. The service is always attentive and efficient when taking out, as for ambiance, we only take out so no experience really with anything more, but it's a small but still bright and clean bakery and we find that it's always warm and welcoming with all the wonderful aromas of the best a bakery can bring, but in a BAD way. ;) There are tons of other great baked goods here, of which the donuts are the more famous ones besides the senorita bread. I've not had their donuts yet, but I will report back when I do. =)

Señorita bread
Alex M.

I am a loyal customer and always give good reviews to this place, but this time I need to give them a bad review. Las Tuesday I went to bad bakers to get señorita bread to work. I was very disappointed what I got, as you can notice on the picture, the señorita bread was totally different, I do not know if the change the recipe or the baker, but those were not señorita bread. They looked, tasted and smelled like canned pastry dough to make croissants. All people as soon they saw them were asking why they were so different, why they tasted different and why the texture was very different. Even the box was white no more bad bakers boxes, my coworkers asked me if got them form Walmart. Nobody liked them. That is why I gave them only one star. I recognize that the service and the ambience are always good. I do not know if that day they messed up the receipt, but they should sell those as señorita bread. Bad reputation for the business.

Cake - Dozen Donuts
Lily M.

I went at the end of the day to get some random variety of donuts from a TooGoodToGo bag. I got 6 donuts and there were all pretty yummy! My favorite is the old fashioned which is a classic and you can't go wrong with. I love how they have unique flavors too and a different styles of donut! Makes it more fun. Very small shop next to a huge shopping complex in Natomas and a neighborhood, I was able to get parking though no problem. Workers were chill and let me pick up my order a lil early.

The director of my program bought their senorita bread as a snack on our orientation day and i just fell in love with the bread. I decided to go myself and grab a 20-piece for my family and they loved it!! I definitely want to go back and try their other breads and donuts :))

Picked up some Senorita bread to take over to a friends' gathering. This location is a little smaller than the the other I've been to in Elk Grove down from Hwy 99. The Senorita bread was good and popular with my friends.

1/2 dozen random selection.If I had known about the aingle-use-PLASTIC-Syringes-that-will-just-end-up-in-landfill, I would not have ordered
Lesley N.

Came here because it was nearby and looked cool. I asked the awesome counter person to randomly choose 1/2 dozen for me and she was awesome and did so. I have to say the donors were meh and the syringes feel gimmicky and also super wasteful/more single-use plastic for the landfill.

Bad bakers

I love their ensymadas and ube options. I tried getting into the too good to go app and I got the savory and sweet. I just wish they didn't pile it all in 1 paper bag and everything just sticked together. Charging for a box is a good upsell at least a sale was made. Ambiance it's nice and bright. At times can be a lot of people. So many to choose :)

Staxx - 25 Piece Box
Diana F.

These were pretty solid doughnuts. I chose pumpkin, glaze without filling, chocolate, ube brûlée, ube mochi, and peanut caramel. Pumpkin and chocolate were my favorite. The ube brûlée had a bitter aftertaste so it was my least favorite, and I couldn't finish it. I also tried their staxx. I saw everyone in front of me get boxes of those so I figured why not. Oh boy these are dangerous. Warm sweet buttered bread. I was unstoppable. I would recommend this place, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get these again. Solid 8/10.

Crème Brûlée Donut
Makenzie C.

Stopped by on my drive from Reno to Bodega Bay for a mid-drive pick me up. Also they have been trending on social media so decided I wanted to try it! The line was shorter as it was a late afternoon snack but there were still options of different donuts. I ended up with the crème brûlée donut after different recommendations from the workers. This donut was delicious and not overly sweet! The soft caramel filling was absolutely delicious and one of the better options when it comes to filled donuts. It reminded me of the soft caramel chewy candies. The crunchy outer sugar coating of the donut tasted EXACTLY like crème brûlée crust and was just amazing! There wasn't any seating area and this is definitely a grab and go but worth stopping by to try a donut option or two!

Staxx - 15 Piece Box
Jet T.

My family and I enjoy the fluffiness of Staxx but today seems like the recipe has change. Hope you could bring back the light and airy Staxx compared to this more toasted, flat version.

fruity pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, oreo, smores, and I think a glazed cake donut. TOOGOODTOGO Order!

I dont know if their "staff" is organic, but they have had gluten and vegan offerings

I went on a Monday (6/15) morning and there were plenty of donuts and cronuts.

Do they have vegan donuts?

They do! I saw one vegan donut on the menu.

Is it better to order ahead or are walks in accomodated?

However, the owner is super passionate with his work and is originally from Japan so you know he perfected his products before opening this bakery. Asides from this one, this family business has other stores in Japan and India. My favorite is the sweet cream cheese even though Mahoroba is known for their Kobe cream, which are both stuffed with fillings.You can say that they don't skimp. It's hard to leave without purchasing a box of goodies even though they do run out super early, especially on the weekends. If you aren't big on sweets, they have savory items. The meatball pan is my favorite the meatballs just does really well with the bread. Not going to lie, but I used to work here when they first opened in 2009 and I would never get tired of eating the meatball pan or the green tea melon pan during my break. After all these years, I would have a craving from time to time so I always return and say hello to the owner. Besides, they make a lovely goodie box for a party and I always throw in a bag of dinner rolls because the quality of their bread is so soft and delicious. I'll be lucky if I still have 1/4 of the bag by the time I get home.

The lady helping pick out pastries was patient and super helpful. Pro tip: don't arrive to late if you want the good pastries on the weekend. Definitely recommend.

I've been coming to Estelle's Bakery & Patisserie for years since I used to live only a block away,…read moreso it became one of my favorite places to walk to for tea and desserts. I've since moved out of state, but during my last visit in January this year, the treats and drinks were just as delicious as I remembered. This was always one of my favorite spots to spend a few hours catching up with girlfriends over tea and pastries. The ambience is lovely and gives off fancy tea party vibes, making it perfect for casual conversations, book discussions, or just relaxing with something sweet. My personal favorites are the rose macaron and the mont blanc desserts. If I'm feeling hungry, I usually order the ratatouille, and the vanilla bean French toast is amazing when I want something sweet but filling. Matcha is always my go-to drink here too (though it's on the sweet side, so I don't think it's ceremonial grade). I remember my first visit; It was when I stopped by later in the day looking for a birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday about five years ago. I ended up choosing their chocolate mousse cake on a whim since it was one of the cakes they still had on display, and it turned out to be a good decision. My son loved it, but it was too chocolatey for me so he ended up having most of the cake. Still one of the memories I remember most from here. It was something I kept in mind that if I wanted more options and variety, I should arrive earlier in the day. There are a few downsides that keep this from being a full 5 stars for me though. The parking lot is very small and street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The place gets crowded very easily, which is why I usually preferred walking there when I lived nearby. There's often a guard stationed at the front kindly holding the door open, though I imagine that's also due to the neighborhood. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but honestly that's fairly expected with a patisserie. My biggest issue is that service can noticeably decline when they're overwhelmed. Depending on when you visit, the line can get absurdly long (almost out the front door), and I've experienced slower service and even had my drink mixed up with another customer's order once. Since I order oat milk due to lactose intolerance, getting the order correct is pretty important. Thankfully, when the bakery isn't overly busy and adequately staffed, the employees are attentive, friendly, and very helpful with the ordering process if you have questions. It is still one of the Sacramento bakeries I miss after moving away. It was so lovely to have a bakery down the street from home.

I dont have photos of what I got for valentines day but remmeber them being ok but nothing mind-blowing Maybe its just the DOCO one that sucks but I went to give them another chance the day before mother's day and sorely regretted it. I got the matcha croissant ive been hearing about, the new blueberry cream croissant and the mango passionfruit entremet. The Croissants were a huge flop. Blueberry had barely enough filling inside-the cream itself was tasty but croissant was rough in texture and not flaky. Matcha was a bit more flaky and had more filling-I wouldn't say GENEROUS amount as some have said but maybe I just got a bad one. The cream was too subtle -it was more like vanilla with a hint of matcha. The entremet was the only one that didnt suck-it was delicious but again I wouldn't say anywhere in Sacramento has wowed me yet with their entremets compared to places in the bay except for the ones that ginger Elizabeth has had in the past-the flavor itself was on point, i will say the texture of the entremets have a majority layer of the jelly part-if they could perfect the variety of layers you're supposed to get in each bite I would be more impressed as thats the whole point of enjoying an entremet. Honestly I should have just gotten one pastry to try in one day as they are pricey-i paid 31 not including the tip fot my pastries, and in this economy one cannot waste that much on disappointing sweet treats lol

I decided to go for the chicken and mushroom congee. (rice porridge.). I also got a green onion hotdog roll to take home with me. To drink, I had a green tea with lemon. The congee was amazing. A rich complex flavor. It had a little bit of ginger in it, you could definitely taste the ginger, but it did not overwhelm the rest of the porridge. The chicken was good, and for the mushroom, they used black mushrooms, which have a deeper flavor than regular mushrooms. So very good. It looked like a small bowl, but I couldn't finish it. Some came home with me, and it reheated very well. It also came with Chinese donuts to put in the porridge. Chinese donuts are a little bit different. They definitely taste like a doughnut, except they are not sweet at all. They are savory donuts, and are perfect to use as a crouton, so to speak.

It's a small shop and there's usually a line, but they move pretty quickly and it's nice to have time to decide what you're going to order. On my last visit we picked up a couple brownies, a cookie, and one of their savory corn muffins with bacon and jalapeno. All the items are prices well, and are very fresh. I loved the brownies, especially the one with nuts. They're the perfect fudgy texture and while they're a good size, it's hard to stop eating them once you start.

For my first visit I pre-ordered their biscuits, which are only available Monday mornings from 7-9am. I was unable to get the brown sugar biscuit shown on their instagram for the month of February so it's possible it sold out before I could place my order, so make sure to stay on top of that if you want a specific flavor! The biscuit sandwiches were pretty good but since the biscuits are so thick, it's a bit hard to eat as a sandwich. I basically just ate mine without the top half and then ate the top half separately after, with the delicious strawberry butter that I added to my order. If I could round up to 4.5 stars, I would, for that strawberry butter! The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because although they were good sandwiches, I wouldn't say it was anything too unique, especially at $13 for the most expensive sandwich (with andouille sausage) and $10 for the cheapest (egg and cheese). I wish I had gotten the chance to try the brown sugar biscuit because we only had plain and blueberry for ours, which seem to be more obtainable at other places. I want to try something more unique that would bring me back to this place only. I'll definitely keep an eye out because I want to try more of the different butter flavors and more biscuit flavors!

Sorry, if this is wrong. But it's now a MID croissant, when it was damn near perfect. I tried it a few times this year, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. But obvious recipe change. What happened, FARIA?!?!?!?! When feedback was given under comments on their IG, they also blocked me. Weird. Why the defensiveness? Again this review is left w all due respect to what was a perfect croissant. No need to change a great product.
