If you want something fancy and elegant, come to Estelle. I came on a Tuesday afternoon and the…read moresmall parking lot was full. Thankfully there's some side resident parking. Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

First time trying out their high tea service and it was amazing for the price! Absolutely loved all…read morethe dishes and the fact that they gave us refills for our first appetizer, the tomato bisque, it was wonderful. The tea was delicious and so was the wine. Our server was attentive and so kind. Absolutely loved it and enjoyed the experience. I've been to other high tea places but this is probably my new favorite high tea experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience high tea! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

This was my first visit to Paris Baguette, and I'd definitely come back!…read more We ordered two medium iced vanilla lattes along with the hash brown bread with ham and cheese, an almond pain au chocolat, and the very berry pastry. The iced vanilla lattes were really good. The pastries were the highlight. The almond pain au chocolat was perfectly flaky, and the filling was absolutely delicious. The very berry pastry was my favorite. The cream was light, fresh, and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the fruit on top tasted fresh and sweet. The hash brown bread with ham and cheese was very dense and filling, making it a great savory option. I loved the self-serve pastry setup and appreciated how large the bakery selection was. While some items looked a little fresher than others, there was still plenty to choose from, and everything we picked was delicious. The bakery itself was very clean with plenty of comfortable seating, and I noticed they even offer WiFi, making it a nice place to work, catch up with someone, or just enjoy a coffee. It was fairly busy and a little noisy, but there were still plenty of open seats. Parking was also easy thanks to the large parking lot. The only downside was the service. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they also weren't especially welcoming. I also had trouble hearing the employee calling out completed drinks, so I ended up waiting around 10 minutes. It's possible our coffees were ready sooner, but I didn't want to crowd the pickup area. Our total came to about $30 for two coffees and three pastries, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, this was a great first experience, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm craving a coffee and pastry.

The selection was very good and offered a great variety of both sweet and savory items…read more My main issue was with the savory items. I asked an employee to toast them, and she said she did. However, when I bit into my croquette and garlic frank, they were still cold inside. Since I had requested them to be toasted, I expected them to be warm all the way through. I called the store afterward to ask what their standard procedure for toasting items is. The employee I spoke with told me that it "just depends on the worker and how they toast it." That response didn't make sense to me. I would expect there to be a consistent standard for preparing food, especially when a customer specifically requests it to be toasted. the attitude I received came across as very much "I don't care,"

We've stopped in a few times now, usually on the weekend while walking through the city. I have…read moreheard Monday's are the day to visit though, because they offer sweet and savory biscuits (though you need to pre-order). 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. I recommend stopping in early for the most variety, they're the type of spot that once they run out of something it's gone for the day, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious.

Came to Midtown Bakery for Biscuit Monday's! They a have bunch of little goodies, but if you're…read morehere for their biscuits, you have to preorder as pickup is from 7-9 am. My boyfriend and I finally had the time to come on a Monday (after the gym lol). We ordered a couple of items to try and I'll tell you I was full after a couple of bites and it carried me for the rest of day. We ordered jalapeño cheddar and classic sausage patty, egg, & cheese biscuit sandwich and biscuit 2 pack: blueberry and brown sugar biscuit. While picking up my boyfriend was recommended the cinnamon roll and he caved and got it! We had our pickup time at 7:30, but we showed up a little early and got our food around 7:20. There was a bit of a wait since there were some people ahead of us, so I'd recommend you going a bit earlier than your time just in case you're in a rush. We headed home to try everything. We really enjoyed the biscuits themselves as they didn't leave a dry or grainy feeling in your mouth. They had a good crust while being airy and light inside. The sandwiches were good, but they were anything crazy. Size wise it is small for the price you get, but I get it. It's all house made and fresh. We definitely think the biscuits themselves are the standout. The blueberry and brown sugar biscuits were a sweet tooth's heaven. The cinnamon roll wasn't too sweet either and had great texture and basically melted in your mouth. I never knew about midtown bakery before midtown biscuits so I would definitely come back to check out their other items, while getting those biscuits!

Ambiance is perfect for a night catch up sesh with your girl, or a wonderful place to grab coffee!…read more I will definitely be returning, all the pastries I've eaten so far are worth it! I purchased the almond croissant, regular croissant, strawberry roll cake, macarons (coffee, sea salt & Thai coconut) , and something lemony.

I stopped at Pushkin's Bakery with a friend one morning and went straight for the Mud Pie Cookie. Rich, decadent, intensely chocolatey, and somehow gone much too quickly. I probably should have ordered two. I also tried the Russian Tea Cookie, which is vegan and every bit as delicious. Buttery, crumbly, covered in powdered sugar, and simply divine. Everything at Pushkin's is gluten-free, but that's almost beside the point. These are just really good baked goods, period. The display case is dangerously tempting, the service was quick and friendly, and I loved the refreshingly no-fuss atmosphere. Come in, choose your carb, be happy. Next time, I'm branching out from dessert-for-breakfast territory and trying one of their sandwiches. Although realistically, I'll probably still leave with a cookie.

Messy sandwiches FTW! The smoked avocado sandwich is my go-to bc it's delicious, especially the…read morebread...but you've been warned, it's messy with the smashed avocado and cream cheese. I've been here a few times and love their pastries, my favorites are the mud pie cookie and oatmeal cream pie cookie-thingy. Coffees are just okay, and I wish they had more sugar-free options for my husband. Also, please get Wi-Fi! I'd love to work here, but I'm stuck using my phone hotspot. Still, the staff is always nice and patient, and I'll definitely keep coming back for the treats!

It's a small bakery that offers a variety of sweets and drinks. We were there to pick up a cake, and it was a seamless experience. The staff member was efficient, quick, and easy to work with. The cake itself was heavy with frosting but so light and airy inside. It had so much mangos inside, so much fresh fruit along with blueberries and raspberries. The family loved it. Awesome sweet treat!

Amanda was a pleasure to work with. She did our cake and dessert table for our November 2015…read morewedding. She is simply amazing! From the moment I contacted her I knew I was in good hands. She was extremely put together and professional. I loved everything about her and her company! From the cute business cards, to the cake tasting/presentation, her communication and of course the end result. Amanda made the process very easy for us from choosing cake flavors, the dessert table and design, and even our delicious sugar cookie favors. She met with us a couple times to discuss designs and our vision. She was extremely gracious despite the many changes- I was extremely indecisive. I couldn't decide on our cake size or how many desserts to have at our dessert table (my eyes are bigger than my stomach and I wanted way too much). Amanda helped me select the type of dessert she felt would make sense and also be visually pleasing. A month before the wedding, I finally settled on wedding cake design...or designs. Amanda provided her input, incorporated the different designs I wanted and even tweaked the design and it turned out better than what I (and my husband) wanted. She was a sweetheart from start to finish. Aside from her amazing personality her cakes and desserts are amazing! All of our guests were raving about the desserts and especially the cake. We ended up getting a 4 tier cake with each layer being a different flavor (salted caramel, birthday cake, chocolate, and vanilla with blackberry). I'm sad I did not get to try every layer, but for the two I did. I loved! We even had guests at the wedding that do not like cake enjoy a piece and wanted more! We still get inquiries from family and friends about who made our cake and dessert table. I could not have been more satisfied with Amanda's work and I look forward to using her again for special occasions and parties! Thank you so much Amanda for your service and begin so patient with all of my indecisiveness!

She was very organized and professional and really took the time to understand what we were looking for in our wedding cake. We also very much appreciated that she worked with our coordinator to go over timelines, as that was one less thing we needed to worry about.

Highly recommend her for anyone having an event/wedding in the area.

85°C Bakery Cafe:Taiwanese Bakery Favorites!…read more 85°C Bakery Cafe started in Taiwan and expanded around the world. The name comes from the founder's belief that 85°C is the ideal temperature to brew espresso coffee. Parking is free and plenty in the complex. There is also one restroom for each gender. Service: fast, self-serve, efficient Ambience: casual, fast-paced Seating: indoor DRINK: *Famous Sea Salt Coffee: Their signature iced coffee with sweet and salty sea salt foam on top. Very unique and I can see why it is popular! BREAD: *Marble Taro: Sweet, soft bread with smooth taro paste inside. *Brioche: Giant loaf that is super soft, fluffy and rich with milk and butter flavor. *Milk Pudding Bun: Very soft bun with creamy vanilla custard inside. *Salted Butter Bread: Light and airy with real butter and a little sea salt on top. *Pork Sung Bun: Savory shredded pork with sweet mayo. *Cheese Dog: Soft bun with hot dog, melted cheese, ketchup and mayo. They have over 50 varieties of breads and pastries, and everything is baked fresh throughout the day. I also like the grab-and-go system where you take a tray and tongs and pick your own pastries. CAKE (8-inch): *Mango Crème Brûlée *Deluxe Strawberry Cream What I like about their cakes is that they are light, fluffy and not too sweet, which is perfect for my taste. Definitely a good place when I want Taiwanese-style bread, pastries and coffee!

I went…read moreto school in Chinatown, and it was very customary for me to get a bbq bun before or after school. Needless to say, this is not the place for it. For those looking for the more traditional Chinese buns, this is not the place. I got the ham and cheese bun, and it was fine, but it didn't take me back to the bakeries I went to as a child or during the times I was in Hong Kong. IYKYK. That being said, I don't wanna poo poo on this place. It appears that they have some great drink options and some sweets that other people might like. I'm just not that type of girl. If you're at the mall and want that vibe, this might be the spot for you. However, if you want those classic buns, this was not the move for me. YMMV.
