There are glass cases full of breads, cakes, eclairs, tarts and other delicious looking baked goods. On the top of the cases are jars with a variety of cookies to choose from, as well as, one of my favorites, their lemon shortbread bar. The lemon shortbread bar is amazing. They stack the wedges in a large lidded glass jar, each wedge separated with a sheet of white parchment paper. I believe this is one of the hidden gems at La Farine. The shortbread crust Is tender and buttery and hold holds it shape well when you bite into it. The lemon curd is creamy with the right amount of tang, and there is a thin sweet layer of crunch on top of curd that puts this bar over the top. The balance of textures and flavors is perfect. I also highly recommend the chocolate eclairs. Each one is filled with a generous amount of piped whipped cream, a pate choux with good flavor and texture, and topped with a rich, silky layer of chocolate ganache. Overall their prices are reasonable -lemon shortbread bar $3, and chocolate eclair 3.50. I decided to give La Farine four stars because on a previous visit I had a slice of the Moka cake, and was not impressed. It is an attractive and delicious looking cake with lovely pale moka colored frosting surrounding layers of dark chocolate cake, however, the frosting lacked the coffee and chocolate flavor combo that I was looking forward to, and sadly the frosting was more waxy than creamy. That being said, I will definitely be back to search for the next delicious gems at this very lovely bakery on Piedmont Ave.

Why the HELL have I never been here?!…read more for starters, I have a really bad gluten sensitivity, and finding a place like this feels like an oasis. Immediately after coming in, you are greeted with a shelf of delicious gluten free goods, a freezer full of REAL gluten free bread. Not the doodoocaca stuff you can buy at the regular store. I'm talking baguettes and sh*t. But then that's not all. They have an entire menu that you can dive into and munch on if you are just looking for a quick bite. What the f*ck Mariposa, hell yeah!

Lots of baked treats to choose from and an appetizing menu of hot food items and beverages. This past Saturday, I went with the bacon olive & cheese spiral and mariposa mcbiscuit with bacon. The pastry was warm and fluffy, and full of flavor. And that breakfast sandwich was made perfectly and so satisfying with the light buttery biscuit, gooey melted cheese, thick scrambled egg patty, and crispy savory bacon. A couple weeks ago, I had picked up a pre-packaged set of chocolate chip cookies here as well and was concerned about a nut allergy, as they do serve almonds in some of their products at this facility. But the worker assured me thay they clean everything out between cooking the nut-free products, making me feel more comfortable and appreciative of this place.

I had always heard about this place but it was not until recently I was able to try them. I had there ham and cheese turnover and a pecan sticky bun one time I stopped by and then I had the ham and cheese turnover again with a slice of there apple harvest cake. One that ham and cheese turnover is the star of the show. Crust is so buttery and me being the savory queen that I am it is just so good. Go and get one and you will understand what I am trying to say. The stick bun was ok but that apple harvest cake! So moist and the apples are baked in so perfect. The team that serves you is always so kind and upbeat. Super intuitive. I have not had the opportunity to sit down as I am always on the way to work when I stop by here. Whether you are dining in or you are grabbing something to go. Stop in and you will not be disappointed.

I am about as anti-vegan as they come, but the vegan chocolate chip cookies here are fantastic…read more I was attending a get together where are the host was vegan. She had picked up half a dozen of the vegan chocolate chip cookies from this place. I tried one very skeptically. And was completely blown away as to how good the cookie was. By virtual of being vegan, there is no butter, so I'm completely perplexed as to how they are able to get the cookie to come out. But it taste fantastic. Not too overly sweet. And pretty much taste like a normal cookie. After that experience, I went down a month later and got a couple of my own from the bake shop itself. The place is well decorated and homie. I'll be back!

At $4.75 each or $54/dozen for standard size cupcakes, the price is a bit steep, but these also aren't just your regular supermarket cupcakes. They taste amazing, are beautifully presented, many are even filled, and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. They make the perfect gift for a special occasion. I'm a baker and am a bit of a cake snob. I've eaten some beautiful cupcakes and found the taste doesn't always match the look- but that's not the case here. Flavors are on point, frosting is delicious and cake is light and airy. Many of the cupcakes are even filled. I can see why the key lime pie one is a favorite- I think I like it better than the pie version! The frosting tastes like cheesecake and it even has the classic pie crust on bottom. The crème brûlée cupcakes were unique and a standout also. They also have a gluten free option and a couple vegan options. I ordered online and it was quick and easy to pick up towards the back of Swan's Market. Staff was quick & friendly. There aren't many places around to buy a good cupcake, and none quite like these. I highly recommend them and will be a repeat customer.

I picked up the following vegan cupcakes: -Blueberry Lavender -Red Velvet Raspberry -Earl Grey Chocolate But there were also regular red velvet, lemon and a few other vegan options as well.

They were a teeeeensy bit dry but that's what the frosting was for. All in all, every single cupcake was enjoyed to the fullest. The frosting also had great flavor too.

My interest was piqued when I saw that the location is one of those hidden hole-in-wall spots tucked down a few stairs off of a sidewalk. The interior is super tiny - either 2 people at a time or 1 "group". It's definitely close quarters but I was able to look around at their cases, which still had a decent selection despite it being around 1pm. If I hadn't already eaten lunch, I would've wanted to try their savory croissants. Hopefully next time! The staff were really helpful in answering my questions (what's in the Best Milkshake cheesecake - coffee and oreo, how long will a slice of cheesecake be okay for if not refrigerated - 2 hours, what cookie flavors do you have available). I ended up getting a slice of the Best Milkshake cheesecake, a chocolate espresso cookie, and a cookies and cream cookie. I took the treats back home to Sacramento to split with my husband and we both agreed that they were all amazing! Super glad my coworker told us about Gregory's so we could try it out.
