Finally a place where we can say "yes, choose what you want " to my daughter!…read more We found Caring Kitchen about 6 months ago, and have now been a weekly or biweekly frequent of the Rancho store, and occasionally stop by the Orangevale location. My daughter is allergic to everything, soy, dairy, egg, fish & shellfish. She can safely eat out at 4 places, and Caring Kitchen is one of them. We stop by every time there is a birthday party to pick up a cupcake so she can be included with her peers. We stop by for fun, we stop by because everyone deserves to be able to go to a store and say pick what you want. Now, for those of you who are like us and are worried about some cross contamination, Rancho does have nuts and soy. We have never had an issue with cross contamination with soy, everything is clearly labeled, and the team does a great job confirming any allergy's. I would double check depending on your nut severity, but many things seem to be pre-wrapped for this reason. The other location is even more allergy free (nut and soy free). I cannot reccomendation this company more, you will pay for the quality, but also for the safety, amazing taste and everything else that comes with a great bakery.

I've been here twice and both times were great. If you need desserts that are allergen-friendly but…read morestill taste as good as allergy-filled desserts, this place is for you. The entire establishment is gluten free and vegan, so you aren't allowed to bring in outside food (no cross contamination allowed). Gotta keep things safe for those with severe allergies. The other location is GF and vegan and also nut-free. When I just went this last time, I got 3 items and they were all super yummy. 1. Cookie dough loaded cookie 2. Chocolate cake slice 3. Fauxstess cupcake Even if you have zero allergies, come here and support your local small business. I promise you'll love it.

I…read morecame in looking for a special treat for a birthday and didnt want to buy a whole cake and have a bunch of leftovers since only one person was having cake. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of cakes and specialties, as well as pastries that were available. I chose a bear claw and decided to eat that while I was there, since there was no way to eat that in the car with the powdered sugar, etc., making a mess. They put it on a plate and brought it to me. I also chose a Napoleon and a slice of carrot cake and a peanut butter cookie to take to go. I asked if they had a pick that said happy birthday and she went in the back and found one for me so it was one stop shopping for what I needed. What I was so surprised with was they have crêpes and sandwiches and many items I was unaware of. I definitely will have to come back and try some more and maybe come back for lunch or brunch. The lady was super helpful and friendly. There's nice seating inside if you want to eat your goodies here as well. Located in the shopping center across from Raleys on Fairoaks Boulevard in the same building as the UPS store so if you're taking some Amazon returns back walk down a few doors and check them out! .

The service person was very helpful regarding flavors, but in honor of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, I ordered a chocolate chip buntkin. It was delicious. After I devoured my cake I looked at the packaging and realized it was gluten free. I had no idea, it was so good. Lots of chips, moist and yummy. I'll be going back. Maybe get a platter of buntinis (two bite cakes sold by the dozen) for the memorial day bbq.

The amount of pistachio inside is underwhelming, not nearly enough like in the photo, and it's literally just chocolate cake. See the attached photos!

There's been a few businesses in this space. Way back in the late 90s, this was a Pizza Hut…read more Eventually, Pizza Hut left, and another pizza shop moved in. Now they are gone, and this place has been open for the last few months. It's a little family run place. It's clean, nothing fancy on the inside. It's just your average donut shop. The lady that runs the place is so very nice. They have lots of selections, different coffee, drinks, donuts, dessert, type, croissants, sandwiches, etc.. I decided to go for an apple fritter, and a Vietnamese, egg coffee, which I love... The fritter was very large, and excellent. Lots of apples, crisp on the outside with a little bit of a crunch, yet so tender and fluffy on the inside. A total and complete Home run. The egg coffee was also excellent. Vietnamese coffee definitely has a kick to it. It's bold and robust, and it's stronger than espresso. It is an acquired taste, but I acquired the taste immediately. I paid three dollars for the fritter, which was reasonable, and the coffee was eight bucks. Yes, on the higher end, but you are getting a very good quality coffee. Definitely worth paying a couple of bucks extra for. A couple of bucks less, and you will be getting far inferior coffee from Starbucks. I'm a fan, I'll be back. Let's hope this business does well, so that they are around for a long time. Thanks!

We stopped in and ordered two crème brûlée iced coffees. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy them and…read moreweren't able to finish either one. The cream on top was delicious by itself, but as a whole the drink was far too sweet for our taste. The two staff members weren't rude, but they also weren't particularly welcoming. At times, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. For example, when I asked for an item that was out of stock, the response was, "I guess I can make one," which came across as dismissive. I debated whether to post this review because I know they're a newer business, and it's not easy getting started. My hope is that this feedback is taken constructively. A warmer, more welcoming attitude toward new customers could make a big difference, because first impressions matter.

I can't say enough good things about this donut shop. After our local spot went downhill following…read morean ownership change, my wife and I set out to find a new favorite. We combed through Yelp, visited local recommendations, and even tried well-known places like Marie's Donuts. We found plenty of great options--but Sweet Dozen stands out as the best of them all. It's about a 30-minute round trip for us, and we gladly make the drive because everything has been consistently excellent. Their donuts range from high-quality classics to creative, fresh takes on new flavors. The shop itself is charming, family-owned, and welcoming. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, polite, and genuinely happy to help. I truly can't recommend them enough.

Vy emailed quickly to confirm details and payment. She's so kind and dedicated to quality! The cookies were ready on time and packaged with care. They were enormous and not overly sweet. My sister said the flavor tasted like ube halaya from the motherland lol. The picture probably doesn't do it justice, but the texture was neither chewy nor crumbly. Maybe like a rich decadent cake. It kept well in the refrigerator and brought back to room temperature a half hour before serving. Highly recommend, can't wait to try more. Thankful for this local business' masterful execution of specialty flavors!

These aren't your average cookies, these babies are thickkk and basically everything you would want a cookie to be; crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle, with unique flavor profiles. I personally appreciated how the cookies weren't overly sweet and you could really taste the quality ingredients. Everyone was raving about the biscoff cookie butter, ube coconut, pistachio butter and salted caramel cornflakes with marshmallows. I wouldn't hesitate to order cookies again from Sugar Bean and am already looking for a reason to try a cake next.

VEGAN REVIEW I made…read morea special trip here when I was in Sacramento for work-- totally worth it! This is a "regular" donut shop that just happens to have at least a dozen vegan donut varieties. Just ask to see the list. We got the peanut butter chocolate, apple fritter, and chocolate cinnamon butterfly. They were all amazing! And also HUGE. Like, shareable. Went right before closing on a Friday & most varieties were still available. Friendly service. Easy parking.
