    Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Taleah T.

    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.

    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!

    Pastrami focaccia

    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.

    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.

    Strawberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake

    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.

    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.

    Strawberry  cake  with cookies
    Tresla G.

    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

    Ordered the strawberry cake, coffee cake and carrot cake. All tasted good! Great service from staff and cute bakery ambiance.

    A hidden gem.

    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.

    Biscuit
    Lily M.

    Love biscuit Mondays!! Best biscuit in Sacramento that's I've had so far! Their lemon bars are also AMAZING! Prefect blend of tart and sweet. I always go here at least once a year on my birthday to treat myself hehe. Everyone I've met that works there is also super nice. Adorable spot too love the greenery around the door when you walk in! Can't wait to try more.

    Open till 2pm.

    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.

    Cinnamon roll
    Sara W.

    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!

The Pear and Blue Cheese is outstanding. The pear is clean and sweet, and the blue cheese comes through with just enough tang and salt to balance it without overpowering anything.

The Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper is equally strong. You get real strawberry flavor, think a PBJ on white bread in summer,a touch of honey sweetness, and the balsamic adds a nice depth without making it sour. The black pepper is subtle but noticeable--it gives the whole thing a little edge and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional. It's well balanced and genuinely interesting. Both of these are worth seeking out. If you're in Sacramento seek them out.
