We've stopped in a few times now, usually on the weekend while walking through the city. I have heard Monday's are the day to visit though, because they offer sweet and savory biscuits (though you need to pre-order). It's a small shop and there's usually a line, but they move pretty quickly and it's nice to have time to decide what you're going to order. On my last visit we picked up a couple brownies, a cookie, and one of their savory corn muffins with bacon and jalapeno. All the items are prices well, and are very fresh. I loved the brownies, especially the one with nuts. They're the perfect fudgy texture and while they're a good size, it's hard to stop eating them once you start. I recommend stopping in early for the most variety, they're the type of spot that once they run out of something it's gone for the day, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious. read more

I've never been here for the pastries before but I've heard good things! It's a bit hidden but just look for the light blue door. For my first visit I pre-ordered their biscuits, which are only available Monday mornings from 7-9am. I was unable to get the brown sugar biscuit shown on their instagram for the month of February so it's possible it sold out before I could place my order, so make sure to stay on top of that if you want a specific flavor! The biscuit sandwiches were pretty good but since the biscuits are so thick, it's a bit hard to eat as a sandwich. I basically just ate mine without the top half and then ate the top half separately after, with the delicious strawberry butter that I added to my order. If I could round up to 4.5 stars, I would, for that strawberry butter! The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because although they were good sandwiches, I wouldn't say it was anything too unique, especially at $13 for the most expensive sandwich (with andouille sausage) and $10 for the cheapest (egg and cheese). I wish I had gotten the chance to try the brown sugar biscuit because we only had plain and blueberry for ours, which seem to be more obtainable at other places. I want to try something more unique that would bring me back to this place only. I'll definitely keep an eye out because I want to try more of the different butter flavors and more biscuit flavors! read more

A quaint, locally run bakery with strong neighborhood loyalty in tow. The limited selection in the display actually says a lot--they sell what they make, and once it's gone, it's gone. Everything we tried was excellent. This spot has officially earned a place on our bakery radar, and we'll definitely be back. BB read more

I was taking a walk with my coffee and wanted a sweet treat. I check the map quickly and saw I was a 3 minute walk from this bakery so I decided to check it out. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The presentation of the baked goods were very appeasing. The cakes looked moist. I was overwhelmed by everything and wanted it all. The owner suggested the vegan chocolate chip cookie. This was definitely not what I had in mind but I said yes. I just ate it and it was delicious. I like to try vegan goods because if you can make a vegan baked good taste delicious then I trust you. The cookie is made with tahini, the perfect chocolate chip ratio, and a but of sea salt. It is moist. It tasted better than many bakeries non vegan chocolate chip cookie. I will definitely return. Bakery was clean and well maintained. read more

Fortunate to find parking just in front of bakery. Stopped by on a Friday at 11:30am. I wasn't sure what to buy, but a couple of regular customers walked up behind me. They said that the French puffs and the BBSCCCC were a must try. The BBSCCCC is a browned butter salted caramel chocolate chip caramel cookie. On Fridays, from 11-1pm, the bakery offers focaccia sandwiches for purchase. So, I settled on a couple of French puffs, one BBSCCCC, brownie with walnuts, and pastrami focaccia. Everything was delicious. The French puff was not what I expecting. Instead of light and airy, the puff is cake-like inside rolled in cinnamon sugar. I had to read up on its history. It's perfect with coffee/tea. Best served warm. The focaccia had thinly sliced pastrami, cheese and greens. The focaccia was the perfect vehicle for the sandwich. It was a treat to meet Angela and Thomas. read more

I reviewed them last year and I have to say they're still my favorite bakery in town. I don't crave anything quite like I crave their cheesecake with cherry compote on top and their key lime cheesecake. It is just a dream come true. read more

Midtown Bakery - Deliciousness - Bakeries Near Me - Sacramento, California

This was my third visit to this delightful mom and pop bakery tucked inside a charming Victorian in Midtown. Reluctantly, I must share how great this place is at the expense of gatekeeping it for myself... but it seems the cat is out of the bag anyway, and they deserve all the praise. The same friendly guy has helped me all three times I've been in. On my first visit, he even threw in 2 free French Puffs, which is their signature cinnamon sugar donut hole-esque dessert, which was quite a unique and tasty treat. The first time I visited, I fell in love with their chocolate cake: moist, tender, perfectly sweet, with a rich and deeply flavored chocolate frosting. I have to order a slice every time now. On this most recent trip, I ordered another slice of that cake along with the cherry cheesecake and a slice of coffee cake. I've never once been disappointed by anything from Midtown Bakery. From the kind staff to the charming location to the excellent desserts, it's easily one of the best businesses in Sacramento. You can truly taste the love and passion in everything they make. No longer should Sacramentans have to suffer through the mediocrity that is Rick's Dessert Diner. If you have even the faintest sweet tooth, this place is for you. read more

I want good food, but I don't want to have to pre-order it. In all honestly, I'd give this spot 4.5 stars, if Yelp would get it together and allow half stars! Did you know there's a secret biscuit business going on in Midtown on Monday mornings only? Okay, so it's not so secret, but I do believe it is kinda on the DL. It's a IYKYK type thing, but also I ran across it on TT! Midtown Bakery takes biscuit PREORDERS Thursday through Sunday for a Monday AM ONLY pickup, 7AM/7:30/8AM/8:30AM time slots. You cannot order the biscuits on their regular website, you have to use midtown-biscuits.com, a different website altogether! They have biscuit breakfast sandwiches with a variety of proteins and plain biscuits and flavored butter. I am definitely a plain biscuit girl, but wanted to try one of the breakfast biscuit sandwiches. I got the BEC on a biscuit and while it was okay, it was not my fave -- but this is totally a preference thing. Biscuits are too dense for me for a sandwich, I like lighter options -- think bagel or sourdough toast. HOWEVER! The biscuit with the brown sugar glaze was SO good! And the honey butter was delicious and my fave, although the strawberry butter was good too. Next order will be one of each of the standard biscuits and both butters again. This is more my style. To have a fair review, I need to try their normal menu too... read more

A side door that you may miss if you're not paying attention, but a must visit spot. I'd heard great things about the bakery and finally was able to visit one Saturday afternoon but as seen in the picture, I recommend going early. We were able to get a slice of oreo cheesecake and a brownie with walnuts. Both were very delicious and tasted like a lot of love went into them. The case still had some items, but people always recommended going early in the morning for more of a variety. The staff was welcoming and provided a quick and efficient service. read more

Was so happy to finally get time to stop into one of my favorite family owned bakeries in midtown Sacramento. Open Saturday & Sunday 8am - 2pm. All desserts freshly baked. Tastes so good it melts in your mouth. Love having the opportunity to patronize a local family owned bakery. The service is always stellar when you can have a conversation with the owner and bakery all at once. Love to hear all the variety of optional desserts served weekly. The cute Victorian home style bakery is quite the hide away. A perfect location off J street. A five star bakery read more

Great little bakery in Midtown. The cookies and cakes are super flavorful, and you can tell they're made with care. Worth stopping by early.

My favorite place for a quick treat on the weekends! Everything they make is incredibly delicious, and the service is amazing. They are super friendly and always give great recommendations. It is a small shop so don't be deterred if there is a line outside, it's worth the wait! read more

You'll have to do a little hunting to find Midtown Bakery because it's tucked into the basement of an old victorian on the corner of 23rd and J. I think you'll be happy if you do, the pastries are delicious. During my visit, I ordered a corn muffin, brown butter chocolate chip cookie, and a lemon bar which came to $13.00. They also offer tasty looking treats like brownies, cakes, and coconut macaroons. I'm giving the corn muffin 5 stars because it was moist, had a nice texture, and was cooked with bacon, cheese, and jalapeños in it. I also give the chocolate chip cookie 5 stars because it was rich, crisp on the edges, soft in the middle, and was loaded with chocolate chips. Last but not least, I rate the lemon bar with 5 stars, because it had an excellent crust, creamy lemon custard on top, and just the right amount of sweetness. I have to say, their chef can really bake! Don't be discourage if there's a line at the door and you have to wait outside for a few minutes, The interior is tiny, and it's a popular, so it fills up fast. It's well worth it though. Midtown Bakery may be small on the inside, but big it's big on flavor. read more

They now sell sandwiches on Fridays from 1am-1pm. They bake their own focacia. We got the Italian, which had an assortment of Italian meats: salami, ham, prosciutto, mortadella, soprasata, fontana, and a drizzle of balsamic on the bread. $10. Its about 6"x6". The picture shows my half. read more

The owners are nice and I have enjoyed everything I have had in my two visits. The highlight is the French Puffs, which are hard to get because they serve them fresh and they go fast. The first time I missed them, and I thought I missed them the second time, but as I was about to order a fresh batch was walked out. They are a bit sweet and like donut holes with cinnamon sugar, so think about that when considering if you would like them. I also appreciate there is a little bit of free, short-term parking nearby, which is unique in this part of town! read more

Such a cute place! It's super small that's run by a husband and wife. We got their cinnamon roll, french puffs, coffee cake, and their savory muffin which had corn, jalapeño, bacon, and cheddar. Everything was delicious!! The French puffs pretty much melt in your mouth. It's a must try. Their cinnamon roll and coffee cake were both so good. The frosting on the roll is cream cheese frosting which is my favorite and the coffee cake is made with real coffee. I definitely recommend getting their savory muffin since it was so nice and light. All of this was $21.80 but the husband working was nice enough to give us two French puffs for free!! Apparently every Monday they make biscuits so I'll definitely want to come back to try those. A must try shop! read more

This is my first stop when in Sacramento! The owners are so welcoming and have great customer service. They have a wide array of baked goods and desserts. My favorite is the pistachio cookie and banana loaf. Today I tried the cornbread muffin with no bacon, which became my new favorite. Everything is so moist and delicious. I would definitely be back to try some new delicious goodies. It is such a quaint Bakery! read more

Always a love place to stop and grab a tasty treat! I've now had their key lime pie, cheesecake, lemon bar, and chocolate chip cookies. Everything I've had from Midtown Bakery feels full of love, butter, and magic. You've got to stop by this amazing bakery and share with your friends. They are only open for a few hours and they sell out fast. Definitely go earlier to get a variety of options to choose from. Incredible people and delicious treats! read more

If there's a bakery in Midtown, I've been to it. It took some time to get in here, but, you're in for a treat. This bakery is locally owned (a big plus in my book) with slightly abbreviated hours, and a very loyal following. I ordered the key lime pie which was sublime. That's a joke, but not a very good one. So, do yourself a favor - forget all the other wannabes in this town and pay them a visit. You won't be sorry. read more

Ordered my birthday cake from here. I been having some bad luck with ordering cakes and so I decided to try something new and order from here. It was a simple process. They had limited choices but I was happy with what they offered because it was straightforward. I texted and asked if they can write on the cake. They replied quickly and responded that they do not write on the cake but will provide a complimentary topper. They provided pickup instruction the day of pickup. I was happy with my simple and tasty birthday cake. read more

Biscuit Mondays at Midtown bakery! I finally got a chance to try one of their highly- rated Southern Biscuit sandwiches on my Monday off of work last week. Keep in mind that Biscuit Mondays only happen on Mondays from 7-9AM so it's always a good idea to check their instagram page for updates before heading over to the bakery on a Monday. I've often heard that they sale out of the biscuit sandwiches, so I was excited to see that they now offer the option to pre-order the biscuit sandwiches. I made sure to place my order, the day prior on a Sunday morning. When ordering online, you select a pick up time, the type of biscuit and you are able to select meat options. They offer a blueberry biscuit or plain biscuit. The bakery also sales cold brew on Mondays too. I ended up ordering two plain biscuit sandwiches with egg/ cheese only and a cold brew. There was a line out the door, when I arrived the next day to pick up my order at 8:30AM. While waiting in line, a gentleman came outside and asked if anyone had preorders. I gave him my name and he returned promptly with my order. We waited in line less than 5 mins which was nice. The gentleman who helped us was polite and friendly. He also offered me cream for the cold brew. The bakery is definitely a grab and go type of place. While the bakery does have two small side tables (standing only) that are attached to a fence on the side of the building, my mother and I decided to take our biscuits to go so we could enjoy them while sitting down. The southern biscuit sandwich was very good. It reminded me of the homemade biscuits that my grandmother makes. Midtown Bakery's biscuit was fluffy, chewy on the inside and crisp, golden brown on the top. My mom and I were both surprised at how filling the sandwich was. I'm looking forward to returning to this small, Black- Owned family bakery to try some of their desserts!! read more

This absolute gem of a bakery has limited days and hours so plan your visit wisely. I often find myself in the neighborhood only to discover I'm too late either because they have sold out of their goodies or they are closed. Finally, I made it right before going to go see a play around the corner at Capital Stage. I got a delicious cornbread muffin and banana chocolate chip bread for later. What a delight! read more

This place has so many tasty things! Can't brag about it enough. We got maybe 8 different items to try and they were all solid! Oreo cheesecake was my top 2. Top 1 is probably the french puff. So unique. I have some dessert loving friends that I knew I had to buy some french puffs for. Owner always serving it up with a great attitude. Recommend coming early! as items may run out. We showed up at around 11AM on a Sunday and we got the last lemon square. Only downside is only street parking that you have to hunt for- but that is worth it in my book anyday! Anytime I'm in downtown sac on a weekend this will be on my list of places to stop by. read more

It was my wife and i first time visiting this bakery. We had such a nice experience with the gentleman behind the front counter. He was friendly and generous. We bought a strawberry cake and cheddar bacon muffin. Since he found out it was our first time there, he was generous enough to give us 2 free cinnamon sugar french puff. Everything didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh, soft and tasty. Intially, i did have my hesitation about how good they were going to be bc they visually looked dry, but i was wrong. They were all soft. I would come back here again esp for those muffins. Great pastries and customer service. read more

I have been trying to get here after seeing them on Instagram and today was it! I had my sons with me and got a few cookies - molasses and ginger cookie peanut butter cookie and chocolate chip pecan. I have had their goodies via friends so I know it would be great. The place is super small but super cute and neat. The ambiance is sweet and I felt it was calming and magical at the same time. In short a great vibe! The cookies were to die for and one of my sons who loves peanut butter cookies told me it was better than the ones I make! Really good compliment. The prices are really reasonable and cakes sold as whole or by slice is really wonderful. Come here! Your tummy will be happy! read more

My absolute favorite bakery!! Their cornbread muffins and cinnamon rolls are my favorite, but really everything that is baked here is the best quality. read more

A very tiny, cute shop tucked right off of J Street that smells overwhelmingly good. I have gone twice, both trips were right at opening time (8 a.m.) so I was able to choose from a full selection. The gentleman behind the counter had great recommendations and lets you pick out your own cinnamon roll, which was fun and made me feel like a kid. Everything was freshly made, and between the two trips I tried the French puff, coconut macaroon, browned butter butterscotch cookie (I think!), a corn, jalapeño, and bacon muffin, and a slice of coffee cake (not pictured). The French puff was donut like, and nicely sweet. The macaroon was soft inside but crunchy on the outside, though maybe a little too crispy for my taste. The cinnamon roll was my second favorite item, with a very good ratio of frosting to roll. The inside was crumbly but not dry. The cookie was delicious but incredibly rich, definitely a good item to share or eat a little bit of and save for later. The coffee cake was soft and chewy, but the flavor was a little bit more mild than I expected. The best item was the cornbread muffin with bacon and jalapeño. Not spicy at all, but still carried the actual taste of jalapeño while being deliciously buttery and warm. This item comes as a vegetarian item without bacon as well! read more
