Great bakery on Fair Oaks and Walnut. My wife loves the little cheese cakes. The pastries are good. I enjoy the black coffee there. They have a great verity of pastries. read more

Elite is amazing! They have the best sandwiches and even better are their desserts! The scones are moist, sweet and full of fruit. The cream cheese on the other items is rich and creamy and leaves your mouth wanting more. I want to buy one of everything. read more

The sandwiches were amazing! My husband and I went for lunch and had the Frenchman and American sandwiches. It was amazing, I loved the fresh baked sourdough bread sandwich! The lady at the front desk was really sweet and it was a beautiful little cafe with tons of sitting. Also, they serve temple coffee which was amazing! read more

This has become my go to local bakery. For a tiny place in a tiny strip mall, it makes pretty unique and high-end pastries. I think it might have an Armenian spin to it which makes it uncommon. The spinach feta turnover is flaky and crunchy, and there isn't too much of a spinach or feta taste. After a few bites, it did get a little rich for me. The rice dolmas are pretty good. They are my first dolmas, so I didn't expect the vinegary taste of the grape leaf. They are decent though. The little cheesecakes are really good. I'd probably keep coming back for them. The one with caramel is my favorite. It's sweet but not too sweet, rich, or heavy. The Napoleon is good too. The cream is light and not oily. The bread thing in the middle is crunchy and light. Definitely check this place out. read more

Ordered California breakfast, two types of crepes, and two types of chai tea lattes. Everything was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, and the service was spot on read more

I have been coming to this bakery for a few years now and they have done a great job every single time. Their pastries are so fresh always. Whether you like something sweet or savoury, they will have something for you. Highly recommend to come early in the day to make sure they don't sell out. read more

We were very pleased with this bakery and small deli. Very clean and fairly quiet and the food is actually very good. Owners/staff are Eastern European,friendly and helpful. Small inside eating area so we ordered take out but were happy with the menu, selection, deli sandwiches, beet borscht-yum, and desserts. We recommend them highly. read more

This place has a variety of things on their menu from coffee, desserts, and food. It's a good place to try. I only had their dessert and coffee. They do make good latte. A lot choices for dessert, not all we're perfect but worth trying. I had the s'mores brownie and the German chocolate cake. The cake/brownie had too much chocolate so it felt too dense. Also the German cake needed more coconut because the chocolate is too overwhelming and almost no coconut taste unless you eat the toppings only. Comparing to the regular baklava I like this one more because of the lightness of the texture and had some cream lacing on it also. it was fluffy and nutty. Customer service was nice and friendly. They have WiFi and clean. FYI you employee didn't wear mask... I definitely return to try different things there read more

Outstanding local bakery! Their lemon meringue cupcakes are out of this world as Is the Baklava! Their drinks are awesome too! Yum! Yum! read more

Elite Bakery Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Carmichael, California

The breakfast meal, the special birthday cake, the service, the sparkly clean dining area were excellent. I am looking forward to my next visit. Beverly G read more

This place has the best scones and baked goods that I have ever tried. It's like putting a little piece of heaven in your mouth. You can tell everything is made from scratch. They use real butter. The crust and pastry are flakey. Baked perfectly. I tried the raspberry scones, chocolate chip cookie, chocolate croissant, blueberry scone, and tiramisu. Everything was excellent. There was also a special treat because they make the best lavender latte. All their syrups are homemade as well. In addition the service is excellent. Everyone must try this place. read more

This place was dishonest and rude towards me. For no reason. Waited in this place for over 30 minutes and got nothing while I watched others come in and leave. I would never come here and would recommend others to stay away. The attendants here are dishonest and rude. Very inconsiderate of my time. Unprofessional people read more

As a nice Jewish girl, I find it incredibly irksome that almost every place in Fair Oaks assumes my Christian identity and wishes me, "Merry Christmas!" You know the cafe must be really good when a nice Jewish girl is giving a Christian cafe 5 stars. I am a writer, and I'm looking for a cafe with a lovely atmosphere, great wifi, decent drinks, and a kind proprietor who doesn't mind me taking up a table for hours. It's even better if there's food, so I can stay all day writing (on a good writing day) and eat my meals there. Elite Bakery has it all, so even though I'm listening to song after song about Jesus being king, I've stayed for most of the day and ordered multiple DELICIOUS foods and drinks. Maybe Jesus is the reason for your season, but I'm here to celebrate the delicious lemon bar, great Temple coffee, plugs that work, wonderful light, sturdy tables, quick wifi, and delicious food. read more

I live down the street from here and came by on a whim and now I come by as a treat every other week. Everything I have ordered here has been amazing and somewhat out of control (in a good way!) I've tried the avocado toast, a Nutella crepe, and a few of the pastries including the banana bread and the honey cake. Honestly everything is really good quality and delicious. The service is really wonderful and friendly, I'm so glad I discovered this little gem! read more

Elite Bakery Cafe - Vanilla latte - Bakeries Near Me - Carmichael, California

I've been here a bunch of times in the past few months. I have tried almost everything on their bakery shelves. I have not ordered a sandwich or salad. The bakery items are the best on the first few days of the week. As you get to Thursday and Friday the bakery items start to get a little old, as they have been in the case the entire week and we're made on the weekend. One day we had the dumplings and they were fabulous! My favorites were the chocolate crème pie, lemon meringue and the lemon bar. they also make a great iced tea (ask to put your own honey in. They put too much!). I would definitely recommend this place. It's delicious and a great spot to stop. read more

Excellent! Everything made here is fresh and flavorful! A must visit bakery! Nice folks! read more

Fresh daily. Unique offerings. Fabulous borsch soup. Fabulous Napoleons. And anything with a cream filling - made in- house: MUST try. Coffee?? Many offerings. Clean and comfortable eat-in or take home. A neighborhood jewel. Plus: lovely, warm faces behind this magic. Yup! I was blown away replanted from East Coast Oops. Sandwiches and breakfast treats, too! read more

Everything we have purchased has been delicious. Croissants are best in town as are the Napoleons. Sandwiches great. All desserts. Our favorite go to for dessert. read more

Everything we tried was fantastic and everything else looked so delicious! We tried the american sandwich + housemade beef dolma, delicious flaky napoleon dessert + smooth silky fresh tiramisu slice. Jasmine and others were very kind, attentive, and overall wonderful. They were able to explain everything they offered. Temple Coffee, one of my favorites, is served her so I can't wait to get their vanilla latte with in housemade vanilla syrup. Great for breakfast or lunch and of course for dessert. New go to area when I'm in the area. Can't wait to come back with the whole family! read more

If you've never had Armenian coffee, you should try it. It's strong, flavorful, and thick made from finely ground coffee and tipped from a long-handled coffee pot into a demitasse. I enjoy the dish ware as much as the coffee itself. Other coffee and tea drinks are also good here. The baked goods are tasty--especially the cheesecakes, but it's actually the savory Khachapuri pastries that I like best. There's a nice mix of what you'd expect in an American bakery (lemon bars, chocolate cake) as well as Armenian pastries. The ladies who run this cafe are lovely, and the space is clean and bright. It's a great place to meet up for coffee or tea and a treat! read more

The cakes and freshly baked pastries are delicious. Every time I come here, I find it difficult to pick just one scone, puff pastry or cake. I also enjoyed the avocado crepe, delicious for lunch. The carrot cake, and all of their sweets are rich and worth every calorie. This bakery is locally owned and operated by an adorable couple, which makes you feel good about giving them your business. They are very efficient and attentive and make everything in house , so it's very fresh. read more

I worked with Jasmine at Elite Bakery to select 6 dozen scones for a charity gold tournament. Jasmine recommend that right number of scones and the best flavors. The scones were a HUGE hit at the tournament. Elite Bakery opened the doors a little early (6:30 AM) so I could pick up the freshly made scones on my way to the golf course. Thank you, Jasmine and Elite Bakery. read more

Their pastries are to die for. We had two lemon desserts and a cinnamon roll. They're so friendly and family run. My mom and I couldn't drink the lavender lattes to the point we just threw them away. I'd love to try some other beverage next time we go. But pastries on point! read more

Went in to make a purchase, stood at the counter for at least 10min. No one came to help. Employees stared at me while they were cleaning but no one acknowledged I was standing there and no came to help. Bakery closes at 4pm, I was there a little after 2:30pm. read more

I have only had their pastries but they are on point! Super delicious and a nice size! I want to try their lunch sometime soon.

I was supposed to leave a review for this place a couple weeks ago and completely forgot! Now that I have all this free time with the quarantine, here I am First I would like to say the customer service is unlike any other place I've been to. They truly treat you like family and accommodate to every need. (If your somewhat picky like myself) The home cooked style of the foods I grew up with were so comforting and and spot on... and it just tastes better when you have a connection with the people serving you, you know what i mean? Lol they even have a large selection of gluten free items, which tasted amazing!! So whether I want to have a naughty Napoleon treat one day, or have the gluten free brownie another, I'm solid! I just can't say enough good things about this place, they are a full package deal! read more

I forget to take pictures, cause I usually start eating my blueberry scone right away. I have 3 favorites from here: the banana bread, the blueberry scones, and my number one of all time is the gata which is in Armenian dessert. all of these desserts I've tried here are never too sugary or you don't always taste of sugar right away because the blueberry bread in the scones are Jess heavenly and then I taste of Banana and and the bread immediately it's never that I don't taste sugar first I taste the main ingredients for us and everything is always freshly baked and I love coming here. This is my favorite bakery in all of Sacramento. read more

Visited the shop early in the day. It was fun watching each new tray of goodies going into the counter window. The food was delicious

We ordered the Frenchman sandwich and the Bacon Crepe. Both delicious. Didn't have anything sweet, but all the pastries looked bomb. However our favorite part was watching the owner run the place. She was kind, honest, and efficient. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing pastries!! Definitely recommend. Very kind and friendly staff too!!!! Our "go to" place!

I've already given Elite B&C my most stellar review and highest compliments, which is really not so easy to get, honestly. So I won't do another full review, instead let me just again give it a 5+ star rating (on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest and best rating possible). Because this tiny unknown bakery is the epitome of the real deal. Our lady who is the owner is very, very busy today. That's because she refuses pre-made mixes for baking, detests fake bricks of jelly they usually try to pass off as homemade soup (just add water.. and try not to think about exactly how they got it to that weird jelly state) really, HONESTLY does make all of it from scratch, and had the same reaction to the filthy word "margarine" (blanch in horror) that I do (I always ask because I'm allergic and it's disgusting to me). She is equally insistent that all ingredients are as real as she. Real butter. Real vanilla. Real fresh fruits(!!). Real, real, REAL good!! If you're in the market for the best baked goods around, it's a perfect place for you.. but not if you're extremely impatient, because I will say again: the things she makes are..(altogether now) "REAL!!" Real takes some time. So people, I realize everyone wants everything ten minutes ago, and needs the remainder an hour ago. If it's that important, go to Jack in the Crate or find some FAST food. If you come in and have to wait a few, rest assured that it's going to be worth it, and treat this lady and her family, her beautiful daughter, and husband maybe(?) and helpers with respect and patience and love because she's putting all of hers into your food. If you can't wait, there's 2 dozen "from a mix" bakeries nearby, and I hear they're just stocked with margarine! read more

Elite Bakery Cafe - Real butter. Real vanilla. Actual REAL croissants!!?!! Enough said? - Bakeries Near Me - Carmichael, California

Tucked away in an unassuming building in Carmichael is a gem serving up amazing bakeries, fantastic food, and using Temple beans pouring better Java than Temple (who's service has plummeted). I opted for the highly recommended "gata" which is like a crispy puff pasty filled with brown sugar crumble and it hits on every level. Sweet, crispy, chewy, soft buttery flavors. Pairs great with espresso. I've had their cookies and scones and cupcakes and everything is always on point. Staff is always friendly and fast and happy to tell you their favs...and if you've ever worked in the food industry you know it's a good sign when the staff eats the food! Go there. Order everything. You won't regret it. I'd post a pic but I shoveled it all in my mouth while driving hahaha! Worth it. read more

I was looking forward to trying this place since it had high reviews but unfortunately it was a let down. We bought an Apple strudel, eclair, tiramisu cake slice, and a honey cake slice. While the flavor seemed to be there all the items were dry. It's unfortunate when everything looks good but the taste doesn't match up to the appearance. Please note, this shop is not following Covid protocols. read more

The Napoleon was the biggest and best I gave ever had. My first visit there, but we'll worth it. My advice is to call ahead to make sure they have what you want. I was wanting to buy honey cake but they were out. read more

We love this place! They're coffee is so good and the customer service is great! The cheesecakes and scones are delicious, but my boyfriend loves the apple cinnamon oatmeal. They have rewards too! read more

Great local, family owned & ran coffee & bakery spot. They serve temple coffee, without the temple price tag. All of their baked goods are house made from scratch & everything I've had here, had been delicious. I normally get a vanilla or caramel latte, or a mix of both, with oat milk, a blueberry scone, & it never disappoints. read more

I was super excited to try this place.I got the carrot cake and it was dry and super sweet.I don't know what all the hype is.There was not a lot of choices. This is not up to my standards and I love sweets. The reviews are most likely based on the support of the community and family. Don't hate, Yelp is about writing your experiences. read more

I was looking for bakery to get my boss something for leaving. I came across this place. Very clean and the lady behind the counter was very helpful. I tried the raspberry scones. It was fantastic. I will definitely be back. read more

So the breakfast wraps are delicious. We started trying some pastries but found each type we tried were very dry. The croissants are very thick and dense which is super weird and off-putting. Also, like many mentioned, nobody wears a mask. read more

Lots of tasty treats from cheesecake to carrot cake to baklava, all average $4-5. They also have some savory items. They serve Temple coffee with several espresso drink options. Very quiet and plenty of seats to set up a laptop and get some work done. They have a large table in the middle that allows for a big group to congregate. read more
