    OMG! Highly recommend! This bakery is so incredibly delicious. The line was a little long this morning but it was worth it! We tried the ham and cheese pain suisse, roasted garlic smoked cheddar scone and the salted honey croissant bun. They have a limit of 5 pastries per person right now with the soft opening going on. Everything was soooooo yummy but I especially liked the honey bun. They have both outdoor and indoor seating and are right across the street from a playground and park if you have kids or dogs.

    From pop up to brick and mortar success!! This power couple knows how to make delicious pastries and food. Drinks are also amazing. Highly recommend.

    Love this place as a pop-up, and very excited they have a brick-and-mortar place. The place is somewhat small, with limited seating, but the atmosphere was very nice, and the pastries are of the same quality as the pop-up. My favorite was the almond croissant, very buttery with amazing fillings inside.

    Stop by her pop-up at Off-Beat today to grab the best pastries in town ! The cara cara almond croissant was flaky , chewy with the perfect almond paste and cara cara marmalade ! She make the best caneles in town ! Unfortunately she does sell out fast plus lines are long but worth the wait and patience

    I went to their pop up at Offbeat! There's usually a line, and they sell out fast! I got there around 9 and there was a wait. Turns out, that wait was for Offbeat's drinks, so I probably needed to just pop into the other line. Anyway, I liked a lot of the pastries. I would say the ham and cheese croissant was a bit on the saltier side, and the fig croissant was on the sweeter side. But the matcha cookie, miso cookie - those were standouts. There was a blondie that was also pretty tasty! What a fun fusion of flavors!

    Pastry extraordinaire! Pastry Cat brings you from your typical pastries into to the new age of WOW! I highly recommend the donuts. Usually a yuzu and another seasonal fruit comprise the better known "mini brioche donut duo". These almost always get sold old first. Oh yeah, sold out, yeah they are currently a popup only. Typically Saturday mornings at a local coffee shop. Find them on Instagram under thepastrycat916 for their current Saturday popup. Things to get... EVERYTHING! You really can't go wrong but if you're lucky enough to get their donuts, you'll be hooked for sure.

    One thing I think people need to really understand before coming here and leaving a review is just how much this baker has earned and grown her own cult following, and naturally too. Her pop up's were already selling out every time I've gone to her for years, and on their soft opening day the line was the craziest I've ever seen for any similar business in Sacramento. Maybe SF, but not here. Luckily I knew this would be the case and got there early. The "Pastry Cat" bakes all of her pastries with love, and now that I've tried her husband's cooking too I am convinced love is abundant in that household. When you look around the dining room you see so many smiles, you see families laughing everywhere, the vibe is just so inexplicably right. So much attention to detail was put in to getting this atmosphere to look clean and welcoming. The open kitchen concept is going to be used in some magnificent ways, I can already tell! Both times I've come in I've chatted with the most random and lovely people. That doesn't happen to me in other places often. The pastries here offer something unique, seasonal, creative, and seemingly personal to Nariya. The ham and cheese is elevated with delicious Gruyère, her zataar croissant bun is exactly the kind of savory pastry I never knew I needed, and her fruit selection sings to my tropical and seasonal palate. I am looking forward to the return of her donuts which often change with the fruits of the season. My second visit I got to try the French toast which I believe is her husband Scott's side of the business, and I am absolutely blown away at how fast the service was on this dish. It was out in minutes. The home baked shokupan was so perfect. I am so happy to see that day 3 of being barely open they are even selling out of the biscuit sandwich now in addition to all the pastries. I can't wait to try that one next time! Congratulations to these two epic foodies!!

    My visit to Pastry Cat is only one star less than perfect because the long line to get in was really to get a beverage. Blessedly, there were two Caramel Apple Crumble cakes left. So...if ever there was a perfect bite, this was it!!! Each bite greeted your tongue with a layer of caramel, followed by a slightly tart apple slice, a moist spiced cake and then a crumb topping that was not dry!! I really tried to slow down but before I knew it, my hands were EMPTY!!! It's a good thing I was along because, I just might have uttered a careless phrase or two! This cake pairs well with beautiful autumn leaves, cozy sweaters, an uncomplicated beverage and a grateful heart. Enjoy...

    Best ham and cheese croissant in Sacramento hands down. Given the regional competition this is high praise. The croissant dough is flaky and the ham and cheese are generously portioned and well seasoned. We tried a few other pastries and all were delicious. From savory sausage scones to flaky almond yuzu croissants everything was delicious and meticulously prepared. Expect to wait in line as word is getting out about how good this food is. On Saturdays they are located inside Offbeat coffee as a pop-up. Seating and ambiance are pretty typical coffee shop. Brave the line and you won't be disappointed, this is phenomenal food they is clearly made with love.

    Never not impressed with anything I've gotten at the pop-ups! The quality is amazing, the service is friendly and it's a plus that it's located in Offbeat hehe. Had to get my favorite the Miso Brown Butter cookie (amazing flavor and texture as always). The mushroom pesto was SO GOOD! I was surprised because I thought it was going to be super savory but the bun had a sweet to it and was super fluffy! Can't wait to go to the next pop-up! Make sure to get there super early to avoid the long line!

    Pop up only you can find their schedule posted on their instagram. I've been hankering to try them out the chocolate croissant always looks scrumptious and boy was I right it was! Limited parking and long line when we checked them out, just be prepared.

However, the owner is super passionate with his work and is originally from Japan so you know he perfected his products before opening this bakery. Asides from this one, this family business has other stores in Japan and India. My favorite is the sweet cream cheese even though Mahoroba is known for their Kobe cream, which are both stuffed with fillings.You can say that they don't skimp. It's hard to leave without purchasing a box of goodies even though they do run out super early, especially on the weekends. If you aren't big on sweets, they have savory items. The meatball pan is my favorite the meatballs just does really well with the bread. Not going to lie, but I used to work here when they first opened in 2009 and I would never get tired of eating the meatball pan or the green tea melon pan during my break. After all these years, I would have a craving from time to time so I always return and say hello to the owner. Besides, they make a lovely goodie box for a party and I always throw in a bag of dinner rolls because the quality of their bread is so soft and delicious. I'll be lucky if I still have 1/4 of the bag by the time I get home.

    I've been coming to Estelle's Bakery & Patisserie for years since I used to live only a block away,…read moreso it became one of my favorite places to walk to for tea and desserts. I've since moved out of state, but during my last visit in January this year, the treats and drinks were just as delicious as I remembered. This was always one of my favorite spots to spend a few hours catching up with girlfriends over tea and pastries. The ambience is lovely and gives off fancy tea party vibes, making it perfect for casual conversations, book discussions, or just relaxing with something sweet. My personal favorites are the rose macaron and the mont blanc desserts. If I'm feeling hungry, I usually order the ratatouille, and the vanilla bean French toast is amazing when I want something sweet but filling. Matcha is always my go-to drink here too (though it's on the sweet side, so I don't think it's ceremonial grade). I remember my first visit; It was when I stopped by later in the day looking for a birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday about five years ago. I ended up choosing their chocolate mousse cake on a whim since it was one of the cakes they still had on display, and it turned out to be a good decision. My son loved it, but it was too chocolatey for me so he ended up having most of the cake. Still one of the memories I remember most from here. It was something I kept in mind that if I wanted more options and variety, I should arrive earlier in the day. There are a few downsides that keep this from being a full 5 stars for me though. The parking lot is very small and street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The place gets crowded very easily, which is why I usually preferred walking there when I lived nearby. There's often a guard stationed at the front kindly holding the door open, though I imagine that's also due to the neighborhood. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but honestly that's fairly expected with a patisserie. My biggest issue is that service can noticeably decline when they're overwhelmed. Depending on when you visit, the line can get absurdly long (almost out the front door), and I've experienced slower service and even had my drink mixed up with another customer's order once. Since I order oat milk due to lactose intolerance, getting the order correct is pretty important. Thankfully, when the bakery isn't overly busy and adequately staffed, the employees are attentive, friendly, and very helpful with the ordering process if you have questions. It is still one of the Sacramento bakeries I miss after moving away. It was so lovely to have a bakery down the street from home.

I dont have photos of what I got for valentines day but remmeber them being ok but nothing mind-blowing Maybe its just the DOCO one that sucks but I went to give them another chance the day before mother's day and sorely regretted it. I got the matcha croissant ive been hearing about, the new blueberry cream croissant and the mango passionfruit entremet. The Croissants were a huge flop. Blueberry had barely enough filling inside-the cream itself was tasty but croissant was rough in texture and not flaky. Matcha was a bit more flaky and had more filling-I wouldn't say GENEROUS amount as some have said but maybe I just got a bad one. The cream was too subtle -it was more like vanilla with a hint of matcha. The entremet was the only one that didnt suck-it was delicious but again I wouldn't say anywhere in Sacramento has wowed me yet with their entremets compared to places in the bay except for the ones that ginger Elizabeth has had in the past-the flavor itself was on point, i will say the texture of the entremets have a majority layer of the jelly part-if they could perfect the variety of layers you're supposed to get in each bite I would be more impressed as thats the whole point of enjoying an entremet. Honestly I should have just gotten one pastry to try in one day as they are pricey-i paid 31 not including the tip fot my pastries, and in this economy one cannot waste that much on disappointing sweet treats lol

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.

    I've never been here for the pastries before but I've heard good things! It's a bit hidden but just…read morelook 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!

Some of my favorites: 1. Croissants- all of them lovely... can't miss! 2. Smoke Salmon Tartine- some of my favorite things balanced on top of a yummy toast (roasted carrots, creamy cream spread, daisies, and of course salmon) 3. Red bean sesame cheesecake- sounds crazy, but quite good and I'm not even a fan of red beans 4. Mceggggg- yes, five stars for the "5G" Sando!

Faria's traditional croissant in 2025 was top notch and comparable to croissants in Paris, it was THAT good. Better than even Bay Area croissants. It was fluffy, buttery and flakey. With the right amount of butter ratio. But something changed this year. Now it's flat, quite dry, w/ lowered butter ratio, and higher sugar content. Like Faria decided to cut corners? Sorry, if this is wrong. But it's now a MID croissant, when it was damn near perfect. I tried it a few times this year, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. But obvious recipe change. What happened, FARIA?!?!?!?! When feedback was given under comments on their IG, they also blocked me. Weird. Why the defensiveness? Again this review is left w all due respect to what was a perfect croissant. No need to change a great product.
