This small bakery on the corner of Stockton Blvd and Baker Avenue is so cute. They have a few parking spots along with street parking on Baker ave. You can pre-order online and if you're wanting a large order you can set those up with the team ahead of time too. They make their own bagels, empanadas, and the cream cheese options are delish too. I love that they also have vegetarian and vegan options complete with a vegan cream cheese. The Loxann is my favorite but I always keep an eye on their specials to see if there's something new to try. If the pastrami is available- GET IT!! The pastrami is so flavorful and a real treat whenever it's on the menu. The empanadas are also so tasty and they have sweet and savory options. I'm more of a savory fan, but the guava one is so good! The seating here is all outdoors, but it is really cute, comfortable and welcoming. It's definitely better for small groups 1-4 people and it's a great grab and go spot.

To start, this bakery is queer & locally owned. It's inclusive and every worker I've interacted…read morewith has been professional and welcoming. Now... this isn't the first time I've had forgotten bakery but the first time I've remembered to actually take a photo before it's demolished. Ive had every flavor of empanada from this bakery and every time they are PIPING hot, flavorful, and the crust is perfectly flaky. The one featured in my review is the classic Chilean, which has become one of my faves. It has mince, olives, raisins, and a few other yummy ingredients. Onto the coffee! This pistachio latte is my favorite pistachio flavored drink I've had from anywhere in the greater Sacramento area. That's saying a lot seeing as we have a million and one coffee places here. It's creamy and gives the right amount of caffeine to your system. The seating is all outdoor on a nice cozy patio setting. There are some picnic tables with umbrellas near the parking lot as well. There's parking stalls but the lot is on the smaller side! If you can't find parking in the lot, there's plenty of free street parking. All in all, this bakery should stay for many more years to come. Thank you forgotten bakery!

Their Breakfast croissants is always great to me. Good amount of everything, eggs bacon and cheese, simple but delicious. I order it during my morning break and then take a nap during lunch.

I like supporting this little shop because they do well by their customers and the food is good.

Came here around 9am on a Saturday and it was not very busy at all. I love the feel of this place. Very spacious and open floor plan. Nicely modern chic decoration without feeling trendy. They had a lot of seating options. It's the kind of place where you order/pay at the counter and they give you a number and then they deliver your food to your table. Ordered two standard coffees and a Bacon Breakfast Burrito to share with my mom. The coffee was strong and rich in flavor, none of that watered down stuff. Tasted like what true coffee should taste like. Once staff realized we were going to share the burrito, she immediately announced she would get us an extra plate without us even asking. She ended up bringing out an extra plate, an extra set of silverware AND an extra salsa. All without us even asking. That's great customer service! The burrito was perfect for breakfast. Simple but delicious. And not greasy at all. Please come support this place if you are in the area. They deserve it.

For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix.

The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home.

Definitely a prime combo if you like a little heat to your morning or afternoon bite. We ended up taking some of their specialty strawberry jam and about half a dozen 'bag of day old bagels' to have through later in the week. Service: Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Today's visit was less busier than normal but everything usually comes out in a timely manner. PSA: Please do remember your order, as you'll be asked to repeat it. As the person that took your order will be turning straight into fulfilling it while the teller rings you up. Ambience: Unassuming and always bustling, this little mom-and-pop bagel shop thrives on efficiency rather than flash. The staff keeps the line moving with ease, the smell of fresh bagels fills the air, and the steady flow of regulars gives it a warm, neighborhood feel. Overall experience: A constant pick for us as a first stop for an early bite in Sacramento, when we want bagels, as the price and quality can't be beat.
