I am SO grateful that Sweet Haven Bakery is now across the street from the yoga studio where I teach. Their cookies and cupcakes are delicious. The staff who work there are friendly and great to talk with. I was pleasantly surprised to find there is also a coffee shop in the store as well (separate review coming for Ka Pua Coffee), also with plant-based options. I'm basic and boring and get the iced Americano, but I've gotten the seasonal island latte for my husband who loved it. Swing by and try out these delicious, locally-owned shops.

Seriously, I've never had anything I didn't rave about here. Bonus for having a coffee stand inside as well. Yum. What knocks off a star for me are the near impossible hours. A bakery that opens at 10am knocks out a morning purchase on my way to work and since they also close at 5pm that also stops a dessert purchase on my way home. And they are closed on Sundays... *Sigh* I really hope they do well in this new location, but they're leaving a lot of money on the table in my opinion with these operating hours.

THEY DELIVERED!!…read more This Bakery is the best of the best. And you will need to pay accordingly, which I am more than happy to; it not every day for a specialty item. BUT, their pastries would be at least twice, three times a week routine stop. I live in Northwestern Alabama and called to see if they would deliver my mom and birthday cake, it was their Lemon Mousse Cake and they did!!

I picked up the raspberry mango mousse, key lime pie, and madeleines to go, and everything was delicious. The raspberry mango mousse was light and fruity, the key lime pie had that perfect sweet and tangy balance, and the madeleines were a great little treat to take home. Their desserts are beautifully presented, and everything I've tried here has delivered on flavor too. There's something fun about browsing the case and picking out a few different pastries and desserts. It feels like a little taste of a Parisian café with a little Fair Oaks personality mixed in. Rex Tip: Explore beyond your usual order and try something new from the dessert case/ menu they never disappoint. And if you sit outside, don't be surprised if a few chickens wander by your table! They're part of the Fair Oaks culture and charm, and honestly, they're pretty cute. Just plan your visit because they close early: 5 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, and 3 PM on Sunday. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

Although, I didn't check the time and saw that they were closing at six so I called around 545 and asked if they're able to stay in later so I can pay for my drink and I can order on the phone and the person on the phone with me said ' yeah I can stay back till 6:15' . AsI rushed over here, my time went up due to traffic and I let her know that and she said that 'as long as I get in before 6:20 it's gonna be ok' thankfully I got here at 6:18 and as soon as I got in, she handed me my drink, and as I paid for it, she offered me a custard on the house, and I happily took the custard. I told her that I was going to see a movie and that I needed something to drink before I saw the movie and she understood and listen to me as I was talking. Definitely would recommend going here! People are very accommodating to a situation, and like I said, they never disappointed with their drinks and I can't wait to try custard pastry!

Baby is allergic to peanuts and eggs- she was very accommodating of the restrictions, and also carried the cake to the car for me :) Gave me instructions on how to NOT smash the cake before the cake smash began haha. She also advised us on how to get a two-tier cake and save the top part for another event the next day. She also made excellent recommendations on what flavor would work best and handled all the decorations for us, we provided the inspiration. Highly recommend!

I googled gluten free places in Sacramento and the search told me that Sacramento had many options…read more I disagree. There are hardly any gluten free places in the entire region! I was in Portland a couple weeks ago and there are many, many gluten free establishments. With so many intolerant to gluten, you'd think there would be more. Thankfully Gluten OFF Bakery is here - though a bit far from my part of Sacramento. This family owned business is excellent. The restaurant has been furnished with love and care with beautiful green and wood tones throughout. There are thoughtful decorations all around the good sized dining area. In the front is the case where you can see pastry and cookie options as well as a whole drink menu. Most gluten free places focus on pastries and such, but to my surprise, Gluten OFF also had real food items on the menu. There were burgers, crepes (both sweet and savory), and sandwiches. I really appreciated this variety. I decided to go for the apple crepe on my visit and it was absolutely the correct choice. The crepes are nice and thin and they are dressed very nicely. The crepes honestly surprised me so much! It was made very well, was delicate, and didn't feel like I was eating something that didn't have gluten in it. My wife got the avocado toast with salmon and it was a hearty amount of food. They did not skimp on the avocado or salmon. It was beautifully presented and she enjoyed it quite a bit. Gluten OFF Bakery is top notch and one of the best options for folks who need a place that doesn't serve gluten in their foods.

We came here after our 5-mile walk near the river, and this place was nearby. There were no customers dining in on a Sunday, very odd. So, we thought we've made a mistake and was about to leave, then one of the waitresses told us that they served breakfast and handed us a menu. The menu was very limited and overpriced! I ordered the lemon buttermilk pancakes with potatoes for $14!!! The menu stated 3 fluffy pancakes with housemade lemon curd with strawberries. What I got was 3 small thinly made pancakes with a tiny serving of lemon curd on the side. If you're going to serve me pancakes, I expect them to be huge and thick for that price! That one tiny strawberry I've got on top of my pancakes was a sad little touch. I expected a few strawberries like the menu stated and only got one! That was not worth my money!
