Someone strolling down Ice Blocks on a random evening likely has two questions in mind: 1) Why is…read morethere a line out the door? and 2) What in the world are these ice cream flavors? For me, the line lives up to the hype. I can't think of a single ice cream parlor more creative than Salt and Straw. Some of the menu options sound absolutely absurd such as Melon + Prosciutto, Pear + Blue Cheese, and Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Despite the wackiness, they're doing something right with these flavors. I opted for their limited edition Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It has a salty crunch that brings out the sweetness of the strawberry ice cream. I also detected some cream cheese in there, which works really well! Can't wait to drop by again for their next lineup of limited edition flavors.

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've been wanting to try this place for a long time and I finally got to go today! The interior of…read morethe café is really cozy. They have plenty of tables to sit at as well as small couches near the windows. We ordered an iced chai and an iced Sana'a latte, as well as an Adeni milk cake and a honeycomb pastry. The chai was good. It was real chai rather than the concentrates and syrup served at other coffee shops. It was not too sweet, next time I think I would try it hot. The Sana'a latte was really good, the cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon flavors really come through! The Adeni milk cake was so delicious! It was moist throughout and soaked with slightly spiced milk and had the same texture as a très leches cake. The honeycomb was super unique and I really loved it! The pastry itself is savory with a slight cumin flavor and is filled with dollops of cream cheese, it's then topped with honey and served warm. The sweet and savory elements went extremely well together, if you are going to try any pastry from this café, I would 100% recommend trying the honeycomb!! I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

Absolutely fantastic place.

The sanaa latte was different than I'm used to, but very very good. The ginger, cardamom and cinnamon blend so well with the coffee that it's something that you don't find often places. Add in some baklava and milk cake on top of that and you're getting a special experience for sure. I was also expected the honeycomb to just be overly sweet, but it's more than a dessert. The cream cheese gives it a savory quality that goes super well with the honey they put on top. It was also very chill and lowkey in the restaurant, really liked the music they were playing as well as it wasn't just the same pop music you hear everywhere else. This place really feels like you're experiencing a different culture from the boring typical cafe I'm so used to seeing. The staff was also very welcoming and informative. Not familiar with a lot of the dishes here do they gave us a break down that was very helpful.

This is…read morehands-down, one of my favorite dessert, spots, and if you're a cake lover, you need to check this place out! First off, the vibe is everything! It has that fun, old school 80s diner film that makes you feel like you've stepped onto a movie set. The inside is a decent size, always clean, and has so much nostalgic charm. The employees are always super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Now, let's get to the best part: THE DESSERT! This place is literally a cake lovers paradise. They have so many flavors, and everything is made in house. We're talking chocolate cake, red velvet, birthday cake, mint, white chocolate, Oreo, cake, coconut cream, pie, chocolate pie, strawberry cheesecake, and so much more. Seriously, there's something for every sweet tooth! They also offer sandwiches and drinks like coffee and hot chocolate, so you can grab something savory before treating yourself to dessert . Another great thing is that they have whole cake ready to go in the fridge, which is perfect for birthdays, parties, or any special occasion when you need a cake without placing an order ahead of time. I will say that it's a little on the pricey side, but honestly, I think it's worth it. Between the huge variety of desserts, the nostalgic atmosphere, and friendly service, it's a fun experience. This is also such a cute spot for date night if you want to do something different instead of the usual dinner and movie. After almost 15 years, I still have coming here! If you're someone who loves cake, has a sweet tooth, or just want to enjoy dessert in a fun, retro dining setting, add this place to your list. You won't be disappointed.

The cakes, pies, cookies, and other treats are absolutely beautiful, seriously, some of them look like something you'd see featured on the Food Network. I tried the Black Forest cake, apple pie, and key lime cheesecake, and each one brought something different. The Black Forest cake was rich and decadent, the apple pie was classic comfort-food delicious, and the key lime cheesecake had that perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and tangy. With a display case like this, choosing just one might be the hardest part! Rex Tip: They also serve Gunther's Ice Cream, so take that slice of pie à la mode! Add a scoop on the side and turn dessert into a dino-sized treat. Come for the retro vibes, stay for the dessert case, and good luck leaving without taking something extra home! 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex!

We also learned they have a ranch and sell meats and other products and they have daily activities throughout the week at this location which sounded like lots of fun! The wine was also very good!

I've been here before and have had a great experience every time. The line usually stretches out…read morethe door, but they move through it quickly. Quick tip: once you get to the part of the line at the door, ask for samples before you get to the register. It helps the overall flow, and it keeps you from looking like you're holding up the line once you finally get to the front. I sampled the black raspberry marble, which was very delicious, but ended up getting the black raspberry chip because I wanted the added texture. My husband ordered a chocolate-covered banana with nuts. My single scoop felt like a double. Even if the part that was visible was all the ice cream I got, that would've been enough, but the cone was packed with raspberry chip goodness as well. The waffle cone was also nice and crunchy, and had a great chip-to-ice cream ratio. My husband's banana was decent (tasted like a drink from Jamba Juice), but I think if the banana wasn't so frozen and hard, then I would've enjoyed it more. Overall, will always come back here. I just live far and have closer options.

Oh wow this place genuinely knocked my socks off. Their fruit freeze & ice cream is SOOOOOO GOOD!…read moreIt makes me sad that I'm not local, or else I would be coming up with as many excuses as I can to have Gunther's. This place was completely packed when we went and although intimidating, the line moved fast and the desserts came out quick too. I ordered a mango/strawberry fruit freeze and they were both delectable. None of that artificial syrup flavor, just real fruit!! The strawberry was especially good with its seeds and it's probably one of my favorite strawberry desserts now. Now fruit freezes aside, don't underestimate the vanilla in between. It was so creamy and decadent, complimenting the fruit freezes perfectly. I was amazed how nothing was over the top in terms of sweetness and flavors. Their retro theme is also really cute too and I love all the seating options outside. Makes you feel like you're going on the old fashioned dates they always talk about in the movies. Workers were nice!

However the coffee wasn't my favorite or as enjoyable for me. The Spanish latte wasn't sweet enough and the espresso taste was weak as well. Then, the mazapan latte was too sweet with hardly any espresso flavor.. which is unfortunate because I asked the cashier for their best recommendation prior to ordering and felt like their product knowledge wasn't in tune as I hoped. However, the employees were welcoming and attentive when needed and seemed to be okay with us eating the pastries we brought from a nearby storefront. Honestly if I would return, it'd be to try their juices or other fruit drinks.

So I woke up on a recent Sunday morning and found myself craving a little something different than…read moremy Keurig or Nespresso machines offered so I decided to head down to,in my opinion,the cutest little coffee shop in downtown Sacramento-Con Azucar Cafe. This shop is located at the end of DoCo across from Sauced in the spot that was previously a Starbucks Reserve shop.Parking is available underneath DoCo in the city lot,with validation available from the business tenants of DoCo but with the abundance of street parking available,I just parked on the street. Upon walking in I knew I made the right choice that morning,I know it sounds cliche but that place is a vibe.They were playing solid Latin music,the decor inside was truly thought thru to convey a particular feel-it felt great in there,now I just had to hope the coffee and small bites,matched up to the ambience. This particular morning was pretty busy as there were like about 10 people in line when I got there and only 1 person taking orders plus the tables were at about 90% capacity but it wasn't hard to find a place to sit because the turnover for tables was really fast. We decided to try a few things that visit,I went with a Dulce de Leche latte"Grandote" size ($7.00) and the wife went with a similar sized Mexican Mocha ($7.00).We also decided to get some food,so ended up going with the Bacon,Egg,and Cheese breakfast sandwich($7.50) and also the Torta de Jamon ($15.00). Coffee was made pretty quickly but there was a slight wait for the food but didn't mind it too much as I can tell it was made very fresh as I got to watch the worker make my Torta-very glad it wasn't premade. I really loved my Dulce de Leche latte-gave me caramel macchiato vibes but just different enough,it was really good,I tasted the Mexican Mocha and it tasted exactly like one should taste,it's just not my particular preference,but I blame that on my palette not the craftsmanship,as the wife truly enjoyed it. As for the food I really liked the Bacon breakfast sandwich,was a solid value for what we got,I would for sure order it again if I just wanted a quick small bite.The Torta de Jamon I really really enjoyed,featuring ham with avocado,pickled jalapeños,pepper jack cheese,fresh tomato,queso fresco served on toasted bread-very tasty and fresh tasting-I would for sure order it again. That being said,the true star of the night when it comes to this visit was the place itself,I really enjoyed the ambience,the customers,the decor,I'm really glad this place exists and it's a welcome addition to the downtown Sacramento coffee scene-I look forward to returning.
