Nice place to stretch your legs and stop for a snack and pick-me-up on the way to Tahoe! I like their day-old discounted bread and baked good section. Coffee drinks are strong and get the job done. Good service and lots of tables, though it feels kinda industrial inside. I'd add some more pops of color. Nice selection of grab-and-go lunch and breakfast items and soups and juices and smoothies! read more

Cute bakery with ample seating. I'm glad I didn't fall prey to the exorbitant topping charges for a bagel. I got a pizza bagel which was meh, just tomato sauce & cheese on top of a bagel for $3.75. I read other reviews where some customers paid nearly $20 for one bagel with cream cheese, tomato, sprouts & lox. Yikes! As I waited for my bagel to be toasted, I perused the cases and say a German chocolate cake for $58! Is that the going rate for a cake these days?! read more

Delicious cookies and baked goods. Right off I-80.... great pit stop on the way to Reno.

This place is soooo expensive!! We ordered two beagles and two chi teas. The total was $46.75 + tax $2.17 + $8.40 18% tip = $57.22 They charge you for every item on your beagle: For only one beagle: Toasted pizza beagle $3.75, cucumber slices $1.50, red onion $1.25, tomato slice $1.50, spinach $0.85, plain cream cheese $3.25, 1/2 lox (salmon)$7.25. TOTAL= $ 19.35 Not worth the almost $20 for each beagle. This is insane! read more

Got this Chocolate fudge cake for birthday, it was creaming, just the right amount of sweetness, and moist. The whole cake was almost gone immediately and I even had second piece. I got the Clam chowder for later, but after I tasted it in store, I couldn't stop lol Only thing I wish they have is to write on the cake. read more

My daughter Nancy Castillo had baked a cake for my granddaughter Selena's Baby Shower and it was Excellent plus so pretty and delicious! I highly recommend Flour Garden Bakery read more

Great little diner-coffee shop! Energetic servers! They have drinks of the week! This is the kind of place where servers know their customers by name and order. Great place to stop by on a long road trip. Bread and drinks made fresh. Teacher-approved! read more

The bagel itself was just ok... nothing to brag about and the employees were friendly, but $3.25 just to add plain cream cheese? Outrageous. A toasted bagel with cream cheese totaled $6--is that how much bagels cost these days? While the staff's warmth was appreciated, it's hard to justify that price especially on a mediocre bagel. A one-time splurge, but not worth a repeat visit in my opinion. read more

It's sad to see how this bakery has declined over the years. I had a coffee and a berry almond breakfast cake today. The cake smelled and tasted like musty fridge or freezer. It was so old the berries on top were rock hard and the cake itself was stale and dry. The coffee was supposed to be French Roast but it had a strange flavor and I couldn't drink it. read more

This has become my go-to weekly bakery since moving to Grass Valley. I'm a little thrifty and tend to shop the well-stocked day old shelves; the muffins and scones are not too sweet and moist enough to hold up well. I recently ordered a birthday cake--carrot--and everyone was very pleased. I've been to both Grass Valley and Auburn location now. read more

This was my first time back since the pandemic. I meandered in there on a recent lazy Saturday late morning. The place looks the same and thankfully still serves up come consistently baked delicious cookies, pastries, and bagels and of course awesome customer service. They do not fail me. That is what keeps me coming back. I got the cheddar cheese bagel toasted with half plain cream cheese and the other half sun dried tomato cream cheese spread. I was not picky about the top or the bottom of the bagel having which particular spread. I let them choose. The bagels are not New York style. They are baked and more bread like. Still all so yummy with a slight chew, toasted or not. My toasted bagel had a crackly melted cheese top. Mmm. Even though I prefer more of a NY style bagel, I totally enjoyed their bagels. Ohh that sun dried tomato spread was d-licious! The almond cookie, with a dollop of chocolate piped on top of it, is one of my favorite item from them. It never disappoints. Ooops, I ate that up and forgot to post a pic. ;D Besides the baked goods, they serve up espresso drinks, fresh juice smoothies/drinks, and pre packaged sandwiches and salads. Prices are pretty standard for a bakery in Auburn. They have an indoor dining area and some outdoor seating. They are right off Interstate 80 (exit 119c) in a neighborhood retail shopping center. read more

Stopped at Sutton Way location yesterday for a bit to eat. Bagel was toasted black (burnt) and covered with cream cheese. Burrito was 90% potato with a splash of egg and bacon (should have been called a potato burrito, not breakfast burrito). Staff did not seem interested in comments. Very disappointed. Next time will stop at Babba's Bagles read more

I'm going to give my honest and unbiased opinion of this place. Rounding up but I'd probably give them a 3.7. First of all, they open at 6. They are the only place in the area that serves juice that opens before 9. This is very convenient for those of us that start work at 7 or 8 AM. They not only serve juice but they have all kinds of breakfast and lunch items ready to go including soup, both frozen and fresh, and sandwiches. A lot of the soups are fairly health conscious too including butternut squash, pumpkin, spinach, cannelloni beans etc. They are very delicious. So is the juice. They also have a day old discount section and I haven't seen many places in the area doing this. The day old muffins are pretty delicious and you can get them as much as half off. The bagels are a little too stale to be salvageable. Some stuff on the menu is not so good, like the salmon lox bagel. The prices are also really, really high. I can easily go in here and purchase 2-3 items and spend $40. I don't think their offerings are quite high enough in quality to demand this price, but times are tough, I get that. I personally didn't have a problem with the customer service. I think everyone there is very nice. Ultimately it's a convenient way to get some relatively healthy items to eat, even early in the morning. So I'll continue going back. But some items are not so great and the prices are quite high. read more

Recently my friend for my birthday ordered an assortment of cookies from this little bakery. The cookies were moist and delicious. We had a variety of snickerdoodle, raisin oatmeal, coconut puffs, chocolate chip, sugar cookies and peanut butter. The cookies were large and tasted very fresh and what a variety to choose from. I would highly recommend this bakery if you are in the Auburn area. The grandkids will love the cookies along with your friends.... read more

Recently, I visited this place with my best friend and we ordered two drinks, both terrible. I ordered a small, hot tea misto and the tea bag was almost as large as the cup making the drink super bitter. My best friend ordered a sugar free mocha and it was unbearable which is saying something because she can enjoy many "diet" foods. However, the pastries looked amazing! We said "next time" and left with our bad drinks. Today, I visited again with my family, ordered two drinks, and one was terrible and one was alright. Besides the drinks being poorly made, the price of them is what really kills me. I ordered my stepson the smallest size of the Freeze and it was nearly $8! It came out very liquidated and not frozen, no whip cream, nothing special. It almost seemed like a chilled Carnation instant breakfast... very disappointing. I ordered a small, iced chai tea latte with dairy substitute and it was fine. Today, we also bought two Rum Balls and I saved mine for an afternoon pick me up. I took pictures to show my best friend, yes - the same one who went with me the first time, and when I finally ate mine, it was incredibly boring. I feel like I can't win here. :/ I will say that my husband buys Challah here every week and those come out great! Every pastry *looks* great, but to date, I've only had one Rum Ball and I won't buy it again. My hope is that this business invests in proper beverage making training for the nice staff. With the prices they're charging for them, they could really make a profit if they had good beverages. read more

I just paid $18.45 for a sesame bagel with cream cheese , lox , tomato, red onion, and cucumber. And it was not an incredible amount of lox Nor any of the other ingredients for that matter. The girls at the counter were very nice and everything inside looks delicious, but I never would have ordered it if I knew it would've cost me $18.45 for a sesame bagel with cream cheese lox tomato, red onion, and cucumber. read more

This is my favorite stop on our way to hiking up the hill! The bagels are incredible and worth stopping for, and the staff are always so nice even when it's incredibly busy. Really though, these bagels are my favorite. Big and fluffy and reminiscent of New York bagels. I can't wait to try some of their pastries and baked goods next!! read more

I've grown up in this area and seen the downfall of this bakery. I was willing to give it another chance, ordered lox bagel x2. They charged for the salmon, the cream cheese and they charged $2.75 for a side of tomatoes, $2.75 for a side of sprouts and $2.75 for a side of onions, I figured at that price my son and I could share the toppings on our two bagels. The order came to almost $70. I was disgusted. One bite of salmon- and here's a photo of the $10 worth of toppings. I won't be back. Based on the filth on the floor they probably won't be around long. Go down the road to Pour Choice or Baker CakeMaker instead. read more

Early morning spot for great coffee! I really appreciate all of their organic options from flours to coffee. Just purchased my weekly load of gf millet bread and cracked wheat and walnut bread for my honey. I love the indoor/outdoor seating options and the light inside the cafe. Nice spot to chill. read more

I had this delicious lox and bagel at Flour Garden Bakery today. It was $7.25 on the board so I ordered it but then it was extra $2.75 for the tiny bagel and $3.25 for the cream cheese plus tax for a total of $14.21 without a tip! I just had to vent... read more

Trying this place just one more time. Nice coffee shop ambience, but beware of zero service with a smile. Not even a warm greeting when you place your order. I ordered a spicy chai and basically got a cup of steamed milk with a less-than-mild hint of spice. In the past, I have also (overpaid) for stale pastries and less than terrific lattes. Too many other local places to go to that are within proximity. This is my last time. read more

I went into the bakery this morning to pick up a few bagels and cookies... I could tell by looking at the product there was either an issue with the baker or there's somebody else completely different cooking off their baked goods. The bagels that I usually get were poor cooked... Leaving me to think they don't even Baker on bagels anymore, as they were white... Not golden brown and the cheese because I ordered Parmesan cheese was still white & barely melted on the bagel- leaving you to believe this is all just an afterthought to the product. Unfortunately I used to be a baker and the shit that they're putting out over there right now you might as well go to one of the grocery stores because you're getting the same product at half the price. The cookies that I normally get were over cooked and I asked for them to P put in a bag... Plastic so they would save my cookies were thrown into a paper bag and half of them were broken... No problem paying 1.85 a cookie to look like garbage... Nice if they care about what they're giving to you right, either this place was sold or nobody gives a shit anymore because the product that they're putting out is half ass and in my opinion not worth buying at the price is that they're selling at... Another one of those places that they say the pandemic affected but really they're just into reaming people. Will they be back? That would be a big fat No... I only pay $35 for three bagels and six cookies once now you can go fuck somebody else over. read more

Amazing experience! I've been here a few times but today was extra special. The food and drink were tasty but what really wowed me was the service. I felt very well taken care of, pampered even. Thank you to the staff that worked tonight! read more

So sad-one of my favorite places the only problem is that you will have to wait 40 minutes for a latte.

I'm not sure what happened, but the quality here has really declined! Pastries are dry and seem old, soup lacks flavor. It used to be one of my top lunch spots in Auburn so I keep giving it more chances but just get disappointed every time. read more

Went here in July 2022 and latte was best I ever had but today not that great. Cinnamon twist was dry and not very sweet.

We stopped here only because our bus had to wait until the roads opened back up to continue our trip to Tahoe. It's a nice little bakery with a single bathroom and plenty of chairs. Coffee is as cheap as $2 and it's self pour, pre baked goods, pre made sandwiches, and a daily selection of soups. Their himalayan something bread was great with an interesting crunch texture. I got the potato leek soup and it was semi watery and bland - the bread that came with it was nothing to rave about. My friends got coffee and bagels and they were also just very ok. Service is great and the people are friendly. read more

I'm struggling to write this review so I'm not the person who puts another nail in their coffin . I hope the owners read this review and others .

I haven't been in here for years and now, I guess I remember why. The price of the food was ridiculous! They change you an EXTRA $3.25 to put cream cheese on your bagel and I think $1.25 for butter! My latte was Luke warm and when I asked if they could make it hot, the girl got irritated and scalded it and handed it back to me with major attitude and walked away when I said thank you. My bagel was over cooked and hard and tasted burnt. This place has gone majorly down hill!!! read more

We were really excited to receive a dozen peanut butter cookies. Can you say disappointed! The cookies were bland and very hard.

Not a good experience. The expresso drinks were lukewarm at best. There was one young man who was doing all of the work. The one girl was on the phone most of the time. The other girl was apparently doing sandwiches. I waited 20 minutes for a almost cold hot chocolate and a very disappointing special of the week s'mores drink. which the cashier had to attempt to make my drinks. Would have walked away but was hoping to get decent drinks for my $13. Not complaining about the $$ just about the quality and service. Will not go back. read more

Healthy food, great coffee, organic juice, gluten free desserts-I love this place. Staff are the best!

I was looking to get a small Wedding cake on short notice. Jody - the baker said no problem. She did an excellent job and had it sent to Auburn for me to pick up. It was beautiful and taste great. 3 layers with roses on top. The service in Auburn was just as nice and friendly. I am a fan and will go back! Thank you! read more

Superb gluten free and organic options! I had the morning muffin: soft and just the right texture. The Works organic juice was super yummy and not too sweet. And finally a jalapeño bagel with sun-dried tomato cream cheese tomatoes sprouts and salmon - all gluten free and very tasty! I will definitely be back! read more

I would avoid going to this bakery. The clerk (Chris) that helped us was very rude and did not know much about their desserts. She was more concerned about cleaning up so she could leave rather than help us. We didn't know they put dates on the bottom of the desserts when to pull. We bought 2 German chocolate mini cakes that should have been pulled date on the bottom was 11-19 (they were stale) bought 2 carrot cakes, which had 1 day of shelf life left - very dry. We also bought 1/2 dozen cookies that should have been pulled from the shelf as they were stale. Disappointed because we were bring dessert to a dinner party. Not worth the $40. read more

Awesome first time experience from beginning to end. Friendly and patient staff with my questions and order. I had a pizza bagel toasted with cream cheese, a small hot apple cider and a wheat free chocolate torte. The pizza bagel was the best pizza bagel I've had in a long time. Extra cheese and sauce in the middle of the bagel, mmm perfect. The apple cider was the perfect temperature-not scalding hot, but hot enough. They heated the chocolate torte just enough so it wasn't cold. It was chocolatey, yet nice and light. Total was $12.12. Can't wait to come back and try their other items and fresh juice! Thank you. read more
