We combed through Yelp, visited local recommendations, and even tried well-known places like Marie's Donuts. We found plenty of great options--but Sweet Dozen stands out as the best of them all. It's about a 30-minute round trip for us, and we gladly make the drive because everything has been consistently excellent. Their donuts range from high-quality classics to creative, fresh takes on new flavors. The shop itself is charming, family-owned, and welcoming. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, polite, and genuinely happy to help. I truly can't recommend them enough.

It's a cute little cafe with some french decor to sell you that this is a French cafe. We ordered a latte and macha latte and the drinks were just okay. We also got the frittata and the oeuf mollet. My mollet was good but not great in large part because the potatoes weren't all fully cooked. The onion jam was very tasty and of course, who dislikes gruyere cheese? But the undercooked potatoes ruined the experience a little. The service is great and they even brought out a water bowl for our dog. Definitely worth going.

The menus were easy to see from the counter but they also had QR codes if there was a super long line. The service was very friendly and accommodating. I had the realistic apple dessert and it was as delicious as it was pretty! Not overly sweet and was so smooth in texture. I could have ordered 5 more. The French dip sandwich was savory with a delicate baguette and the au jus was so savory. The iced matcha is now in my top 3 matches in sac! So creamy and a balanced matcha taste with its sweetness. Looking forward to my next visit!

I want to start by saying that I usually enjoy coming here, which is why I've returned several…read moretimes. However, this visit was disappointing because of my interaction with one of the employees. While I was looking at the menu, he came over to help, and I asked a few questions about the salads because I wasn't sure what each one included. Instead of feeling helped, I felt rushed and talked down to. His tone came across as impatient and dismissive, and it made me feel uncomfortable asking simple questions. Everyone is unfamiliar with a menu at some point, and I left that interaction feeling like my questions were an inconvenience rather than something he was happy to help with. The food, on the other hand, was great. The ciabatta sandwich is one of my favorites and is always a reason I come back. The matcha is usually amazing as well. I love how creamy and smooth it normally is with oat milk, and it's honestly one of the best matchas I've had. This time, though, it tasted much grassier and more bitter than usual, which was a little disappointing. For dessert, I tried the strawberry mousse dessert with a chocolate shell and strawberry filling. The mousse and strawberry filling were delicious, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The only part I didn't enjoy was the outer chocolate shell, which was a little too bitter for my taste and overpowered some of the other flavors. Overall, the food was still very good, but the service left a negative impression. I enjoy Estelle's and will likely return, but I hope future visits involve friendlier and more welcoming customer service.

Palette Cakes absolutely exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding cake. From the very…read morefirst look, it was clear this wasn't just a cake it was a true work of art. The level of detail was unbelievable, and the sugar flowers were so realistic that guests genuinely thought they were fresh florals. Beyond how stunning it looked, the cake tasted just as incredible. It's rare to find a cake that's both visually flawless and genuinely delicious, but Kellie absolutely delivered on both. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and yummy it was. Kellie was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process creative, responsive, and clearly passionate about her craft. If you're looking for a cake that will completely elevate your event and leave a lasting impression, Palette Cakes is truly unmatched and worth the investment.

I beelined it over there to check them out. Why? Because I do luv a good bakery. As I walked into the shop, there was a gentleman at the counter. He turned out to be the owner, Carlos. Him and his wife own the shop which they opened about a year ago. She's the baker. Their speciality is custom order cakes. Gorgeous, sophistically designed cakes. But they are not a one trick pony. No sirree. They also sold cupcakes, trifles, cream puffs, and tarts. They were all sitting pretty looking divinely delicious in a refrigerated counter. I bought two cupcakes. One was a honey roasted peanut butter on chocolate cupcake and the other I forgot the name of. But it was a chocolate cupcake of some sort with a vanilla type of cream frosting. Those were $4.50 a piece. Carlos told me the cupcakes are cold but best eaten about 40 minutes to a hour at room temp. Sorry to say I had no will power to wait that long. They both got devoured shortly after I got back to my car. Even without the wait, it was delicious. Moist, flavorful cake. The frosting was delicious and piped on perfectly. Sure the frosting was a bit stiff when I ate it because I had no patience to let it settle to room temp, but it didn't take away from the taste. Homemade perfection.

Momma runs the café alongside her family, and you can taste the care that goes into every item. The pastries are outstanding. We tried the baklava, a specialty Neapolitan pastry, and a delicious cream-filled pastry topped with crushed Biscoff cookies and cream. Each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix. The café is open for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM, so be sure to come early. The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for great food, amazing pastries, excellent coffee, and genuine hospitality, Cafe 33 is a must-visit.

What I really come here for are the taro buns. They're the best thing on the menu--very soft, fluffy, and consistently good. I'm always looking for taro items, and the big buns are definitely where this place shines. I also picked up cookies for my son (brownie cookie, and macadamia), but we didn't like them. They tasted mostly like sugar, were very hard, and felt like they were missing flavor. Their coffee is good, especially the Vietnamese coffee. Service could be friendlier--it doesn't feel very personal or welcoming. The Rancho Cordova location is in a large shopping center with plenty of parking, but the area itself feels a bit sketchy. Overall, a few standout items, but the experience could be warmer and more consistent.

We came here after our 5-mile walk near the river, and this place was nearby. There were no customers dining in on a Sunday, very odd. So, we thought we've made a mistake and was about to leave, then one of the waitresses told us that they served breakfast and handed us a menu. The menu was very limited and overpriced! I ordered the lemon buttermilk pancakes with potatoes for $14!!! The menu stated 3 fluffy pancakes with housemade lemon curd with strawberries. What I got was 3 small thinly made pancakes with a tiny serving of lemon curd on the side. If you're going to serve me pancakes, I expect them to be huge and thick for that price! That one tiny strawberry I've got on top of my pancakes was a sad little touch. I expected a few strawberries like the menu stated and only got one! That was not worth my money! My friend ordered their breakfast croissant. This meal was a huge letdown! We could have had a decent breakfast someplace else.

Even though they were still open for several more hours, it looked like only about 25% of their usual offerings were available. The item we were most hoping for, garlic croissant, was sold out along with the custard and red bean breads. Part of that is on us for stopping by later in the day and not calling ahead, but I did expect a bit more restocking with so much time left before closing. That said, what we ended up choosing from the remaining selection was still quite tasty. I just wish there had been more variety available.
