    Sunday dinner dessert!
    Janet P.

    I have found some of the yummiest donuts ever. Hula Buns Bakery is so awesome. Bitting into the fresh baked deliciousness lites me up. They have become my go to desert treat especially when I have guests. (Or when I want something delish) I highly recommend you give them a try. They are on my short list and always have my orders prepared, ready for pickup!

    Selections change, so it never gets boring.  They also have macarons, cannolis, and pizza!

    Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!! This place is amazing. Donut shop, but elevated! So glad we have such a great place to get fancy treats in Auburn. We have a great local donut place, too, but this place is special. The flavors and decorations are something you find in a big city, like Sacramento, so having it here is a treat on its own. We were also thrilled to se that they have malasadas. THAT is not easy to find up here. The flavors change, so you have to ask what the flavor of the day is. We got the passion fruit, and it was mild, but tasty. The Crème Brûlée was everyone's favorite, and had the signature crunchy sugar top. Hard to find, and their sandwich board is behind and around a few buildings, but if you GPS it, it's pretty easy. I think the sandwich board should be on the main street , but there is a big banner that says, "DONUTS". For a nice get together, or gathering, these donuts definitely pass as pastries. They even have a few pizza items to add to their sweet menu. We are definitely going to be return and frequent customers!

    Ahhhhhh-mazing!

    Oh, my goodness. If you want to up your donut game, find a time Hula Buns is in their shop...or out in their shaved ice/donut truck. The BEST, most unique donuts we've ever had -- and excellent customer service. You won't be disappointed!

    Truly phenomenal donuts. Best I have ever tasted. The boston cream, pistachio latte, and creme brulee were particularly amazing. A true gem!

    I usually don't get donuts from the store or local donut shops because you can taste all 200 ingredients in each bite, but that is not the case here.

    Flour Garden Bakery in Auburn has a bright, welcoming bakery-cafe atmosphere. When you walk in, you…read moreare greeted by large display case packed with handcrafted artisan breads, bagels, fresh-baked pastries, and custom-made cakes, alongside plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices. You will also see chalkboards and cases featuring their daily selection of fresh salads, homemade soups, sandwiches, and organic juices. As I was looking for a parking spot, I noticed one of my regulars is also a regular here. We were so happy to see each other. There we were pulling out our phones to show each other pictures of our kids. Since he was on his way out, we said our goodbyes do that I could get down to business... and pleasure my taste buds. First, I like the checkered floor. I feel like it adds to the playfulness of the atmosphere. The art on the walls was extraordinary. I couldn't help but study it. While Robb and Mimi were helping other patrons at the counter, it gave me plenty of time to look at their gorgeous creations. The custom made cakes and cupcakes made my eye twinkle. It brought back memories of when I used to be a cake decorator. It takes time and patience to create these masterpiece. The cakes cakes made with superior ingredients looked classic... Immediately, the giant German Chocolate cupcake caught my eye. One of those was definitely going home with me. Since it was early, I needed something more breakfast like to start with. If you're visiting in the morning or looking for a refreshing drink, they also feature an extensive fresh juice bar where they will blend combos on the spot. Robb was the person to help me. With a big smile, asked what I would like. I asked what was popular here because it was my first time. They said the almond breakfast cake was pretty popular. So Robb packed me up and I was on my way with both the Almond Bahar cake and giant German Chocolate cake! Robb even offered to warm up my almond cake for me! Thank you, Robb!!!! When I got home, both the German Chocolate cake and Almond Breakfast cake had some weight to them. With my first bite of the Almost Breakfast cake.. it was a warm beautiful bite... and exactly how I like my cakes... not too sweet, a little fruity, with a nutty taste. From the inside out, this breakfast cake was made insanely good. I loved the crumb topping. You know I had to take a bite of that German Chocolate cupcake... although it was breakfast time! Let's just say I definitely spoiled myself with this one. The cake was moist and with a deep cocoa flavor! The coconut-pecan frosting was creamy, a gooey goodness. It was a phenomenal contrast with the soft moist cake. I think I can taste that the pecans were toasted to add even more of a nutty flavor! Perfection! Someone here knows exactly what they're doing and I can't eat another German Chocolate cake from anywhere but here! In fact, hold on while I take another bite... I have not even touched the tip of the iceberg with this review on the cozy lunches that they offer. How exciting does it sound to be able to have lunch, and then get up and go pick a dessert after? Or enjoy a cinnamon twist with a fresh cup of brewed coffee? Pure bliss! Taste of heaven! Flour Garden Bakery makes me want to stop in everyday and try one of everything. The price ranges from moderate to slightly high... however, you can expect some of the best flavors in town coming from this delicious bakery. If you come by, you won't be disappointed!

    Nice place to stretch your legs and stop for a snack and pick-me-up on the way to Tahoe!…read more 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!

    We're Auburn locals- don't eat breakfast out much but one day after an early doctors appointment…read moreand my husband is a breakfast foodie- we decided to have a light bite here-again after probably 6 months ago. Well, no disappointment here! It was on a Thursday morning- people were there eating, more then kept coming since it's almost lunch time. The server gal is super sweet, prompt, and came back plenty of times asking if everything is alright! I had the hot Reuben sandwich with a cup of their clam chowder while my husband had the fish and chops and a bowl of clam chowder. LOVE the soup! Nice balance of creaminess, taste and enough clams! Filling and satisfying on its own. The sandwich was also tasty- enough that I had to bring back half to take home. Husbands fish and chip which was on their special of the day was a bit disappointing- he said wasn't as tasty as he hoped and could have been a better serving size. Overall, nice place to have breakfast or brunch; cute place to chow down since liking at everyone's else's food- serving size it quite hefty! Yay! Definitely coming back more often!

    Giving it two stars because the food was at least tasty for what it was. The service and kitchen…read morespeed are absolutely atrocious. I don't know what was going on back there, but the servers barely made rounds to our table, didn't even ask us if we wanted coffee, and when we asked one server to check on our food. All she said was "it would be out soon" and we heard that for the next 10 minutes each time we asked. The restaurant itself seemed pretty clean although the bathrooms definitely could use renovation. You can just tell that either they have so much business they don't care much about service or they're just not quite sure how to dial everything in to balance the front of house and kitchen delivery. If I have any specific suggestions to offer: tell your customers upfront about your kitchen wait times. Nobody wants to wait an hour for breakfast food. Make sure to follow up with your customers and ask them if they want anything else to drink besides water it seems like a really easy way to make extra money.
