My daughter has been wanting to take me here to try their donuts. we came late on a Sunday so they were out of most donuts. But the ones we chose were so soft!!! Wow! She is right when she said these are the best donuts in Sacramento!

Raspberry glaze twist, maple bar, donut holes

One of the best donuts in Sac! I've had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he is always so grateful when a customer stops by! My favorite are the cinnamon glaze twist and the croissant sandwich sandwiches, which both sell out fast btw! Get there early for the good stuff. Sometimes they even throw in some donut holes just because. Great family running the business, they will always have my support. I also had the pleasure of witnessing the owner give free donuts to an unhoused man. The owner saw him standing outside and took him some warm donuts and a coffee, what a great guy!

I like this box better cuz u gotta spread it open to taste that  beautiful pink box

Seen this new donut shop with a Mexican name so u know i had to pull up on them. They had some different kind of donuts that u do normally see at the other donut shops out here in sac. The place was quiet because it was empty. Most donut shops are empty tho because everyone one just grabs and go. Customer service was really good. The amazing girl that helped my daughter and I was great! Super friendly and really nice. She took care of us and we really appreciated her service. The donuts were straight fuego!! I always have to get a blueberry and a apple fritter. Those are my go to donuts. They were all good and I also tried an old fashion lemon poppyseed donut. I've never eve heard of such thing. It was fire tho, they also had a chocolate cookies and cream donut filled with cookies and cream topped with an actual Oreo, hella fire. I just wish the had donut holes those are my favorite to snack on when I'm driving away. I will be back for sure and highly recommend this place.

This donut shop is SO delicious! It's very lightweight, and it is not oily at all. My mom got some to-go this morning, so I didn't exactly get the full experience walking in myself. But their donuts were super flavorful, made a great small breakfast to start my day!

Yummy! Highly recommend the lemon poppyseed old fashioned donut.

Friendly little mom and pop shop. I was in and out fast. The people were super nice and the donuts fresh and good. My favorite was the lemon poppyseed old fashioned. I don't see those everywhere! A close second was their apple fritter. Happy national donut day to you.

Lemon poppy

One of the best family owned businesses. The donuts are always fresh and so delicious. The owners are kind and attentive, the type to remember your order. Maple cinnamon roll is great. Their seasonal flavors are really good too! Definitely takes pride in the product they put out. 10/10 go back weekly.

Good donuts, really nice service! They had so many options. So lots to pick from. Looked and smelled super clean inside.

Yummy donuts.

Love this place. Great donuts and awesome service -- not Hispanic :-) Dunno how Nina's was, but this place is a gem. I would not hesitate to come back again.

Perfect donuts! Fluffy, light and delicious. I got this box on Valentine's Day and I loved them

I just call this strawberry goodness

Great donuts and coffee, albeit a bit pricey. But it's a family business, so be sure to support them.

Was looking for an ice cream place in the area, something that wasn't a big chain. Happily came…read moreupon Babes, which is in fact part of the Pushkin's family, a local franchise in Sacramento. All of their ice creams are coconut milk based instead and the three I tasted were SO.DAMN.GOOD. My man ordered the salted caramel and it was delicious, but not what I was in the mood for that night. I was on the fence between the blueberry cheesecake and the peach cobbler. I really wanted a scoop of both, but I just wasn't that hungry. I decided on the peach cobbler, and I'm still dreaming about it. The sweet peaches, the essence of cream, and that buttery slightly salty crust. From the street front this place doesn't look like much but when you go in, there are a couple tables and a counter you can eat at and then there is a massive kitchen in the back. The girl at the front explained to me that they ship a lot of their products to other businesses in town. We will definitely return to this business.

I love babes! Their ice cream is vegan but it seriously does not taste vegan. Super creamy and…read morerich.

I got 5 of their specialty donuts and it came out to $47 so the specialty ones are a little pricier than the normal ones. The weekend is definitely popping in here. They've got the best and freshest donuts in town and it's no joke. I loved the creaminess of the cream on top of the pandan, and it wasn't too sweet so it was really combined with the fluffy donut on the bottom, it was soooo good. The matcha strawberry ones were also good but I enjoyed the pandan more. Seriously I will recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a good donut. They definitely won my heart and stomach over. Every time I've gone everyone is always super nice too and doesn't feel like I'm being rushed. Small but a mighty shop.

I ordered the Young Coconut Sticky Rice Pandan. The pandan and sticky rice flavors were extremely subtle. The donut was very soft and fluffy. The presentation was extravagant as there were gold flakes on top of the frosting. For $8 it was overpriced and I wouldn't order it again. The croissant donut holes were amazing! They were made using croissant dough which provided a nice flaky texture with the taste of a donut. They were $4.50 for a dozen. I would definitely order these scrupmtious treats again!

It's become our go-to place for a special reward treat when the kids are doing especially well in school and excelling academically.

Definitely a favorite in our household!

Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.
