Coffee drink menu
Lillian W.

There aren't alot of dim sum options or Asian bakeries in Folsom. But there is a T&5 Cafe Bakery that fills the void. Yes, they have dim sum, baked pastries, cakes, and milk tea and coffee drinks. The cafe is stinking cute. It has a fun, whimsical princess look interior. Gold, chandeliers, gilded edges. Not gaudy. Customer service is awesome. The cashier was terrific and help me navigate the menu. I heard her explain , to other customers, what the dishes were made out of and help provide recommendations. She even told me that the lotus rice will take 15-20 minutes to prepare so I can decide to still purchase it. I appreciated her giving me that extra bit of info. I didn't mind and still ordered it. I knew it would take a bit longer, it's steamed versus microwaved. The menu is concise and not lengthy like a Tolstoy novel. For dim sum, they have sui mai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, egg custard, soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings... to name a few. But the food does contain MSG which most folks can eat without an issue and is typically in most Chinese food. They also have pre-packaged baked goodies. Cookies, baos, egg custards, cream puffs, croissants, taro buns, pork sung rolls, apple turnovers, donuts... to name a few. Pricing average $3. Similar to a panaderia, the ordering protocol for the packaged pastries is to grab a tray and tongs and self service loading up your tray; then going to the cashier to pay. Keep the tongs on your tray. The items name, ingredients and pricing are clearly marked. I went to town on the pastries since MSG was not an ingredient. My faves were the egg custards (more savory than sweet with a silky custard filling and rich, flaky crust), chocolate croissants, almond croissants. Wait a hot minute ... I have a lot of T5 pastry favorites... too many to count. Plus they sell whole cakes. Gorgeously decorated and light n airy cakes. The cafe has a couple of pub height tables inside and lots of two person tables outside under the awning. The cafe is set back from the street and nearby are gorgeous old growth majestic trees. Nice place to spend a lazy, late weekend morning enjoying a cup of Joe and pastries.

Walking into this shop was honestly a great first impression. The space is beautiful clean, bright, and everything is displayed so neatly. It actually reminded me of 85 Bakery, but more upscale. They offer dim sum, boba drinks, and a wide variety of pastries, so I was really excited to try a little bit of everything. On top of that, Linda was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, professional, and so attentive that I genuinely thought she might be the owner because of how well she carried herself and treated customers. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to how nice the place looked. We ordered several pastries, and most of them were disappointing. The hotdog bun had way too much bread and barely any hotdog, the coconut cream bread hardly had any cream at all, and everything tasted dry instead of soft and fresh. The shumai was actually really good, but it took about 20 minutes to come out, so this definitely isn't a spot if you're in a rush. I also ordered a matcha latte with oat milk at 50% sweetness, and the picture showed this vibrant green drink that I was excited for. When it came out, the color alone made me nervous. One sip in and it tasted like straight oat milk with sweetener...no matcha flavor at all. I usually finish my boba or specialty drinks, but this one ended up in the trash after a few sips. As much as I wanted to love this place, the quality of the pastries and the matcha just didn't do it for me. The two stars I'm giving are honestly because of Linda and her great customer service. Other than that, I'll probably stick to 85 Bakery.

November 29, 205 - Folsom, CA. We spent the morning on Sutter Street celebrating my birthday and browsing the shops. My husband really wanted to get me a birthday cake, so he searched on Yelp and found T&5 Cafe Bakery. A short drive later, we walked in--and wow, did they make my day! My husband mentioned it was my birthday, and we immediately got the royal treatment. Granny Kong helped us pick out the perfect cake, and the staff wrote my name on it, added a candle, and even sang Happy Birthday! We enjoyed our delicious fruit basket cake with some tasty teas and coffees in their cute shop, surrounded by displays of their beautiful cakes. It was such a sweet, memorable visit. As a side note--they specialize in all natural..no artificial flavors or preservatives. Highly recommend!

This was our second visit. We stopped to get some refreshing drinks after a long drive and it was so worth it. We got one T9 Dirty Tea & T7 Purple Taro Coconut and omg- they are so freakin delicious and fresh! Yes the prices may be a bit up there, but everything is pricey nowadays and this was actually worth it. Our first visit we met the mama who owns it. She helped us pick a fresh strawberry cake for a small birthday get together. She was so sweet. This visit we also had amazing service from a kind staff member. I believe it is a Chinese (Cantonese speaking) family owned business. The bakery also has cute decor and chandeliers all about the place. It is a bit small and seating is a bit limited, but there are more seats outside accompanied by some pretty & real plants.

First off. The interior is nice. Colorful. Vibrant. It definitely feels decorated. The heat insulated bag they give you with the food is super cute. I didn't try the desert. I got a smoothie. Soup dumpling. Hargao and Siu mai. They were pretty average. Nothing really special about them. Being honest I couldn't tell much difference between them and frozen ones.

This bakery has a wide selection of drinks, bake goods, and cakes. I like to come for their fruit teas as they are made with fresh fruits. I noticed they also have dim sum so I will try that next time I'm here. The cashier Viv was super nice, giving us recommendations on what to try. I am a huge fan of their cakes, especially their molten lava cakes. It may look small but it can serve at least 6 people.

They made the cake for my elopement/wedding and it was very yummy, fruit inside was so refreshing, cake and frosting were perfectly balanced. They helped my mom decide what was best for travel, size and were very helpful overall. Thank you!! The did miss a letter in my name: Olivia was spelled "olvia" but this was a last second cake --as in 2 days notice. It worked out the letters they did use make my nickname "Liv" and the letter removed were the initials of my fiancé "O &A". Thank you!

Discovered this place on yelp. Needed a last minute birthday cake. They were able to accommodate with amazing friendliness. Every interaction I had from call to order to pickup was so nice! The strawberry cream sponge cake was also amazing. Subtle.sweetness and tasty flavor. Every cake in the shop and also the one I got looked amazing. They also have tea and dim sum here. Thats for next time.

Stopped by on way back from Tahoe and found it has excellent dim sum, great pastries, and authentic boba tea as well. The lady serving us was super nice and patient. The sitting area is small but very nice. Definitely plan to stop by going forward.

One of the pastry displays

T5 Bakery is a hidden gem. The setup reminded me a lot of Paris Baguette, but with better prices and some great deals (like buy one, get the second at a discount). They had a huge variety--full-sized cakes, cake slices, Japanese cheesecakes, plus both sweet and savory baked goods. They also offer tea, coffee, and actual food, so it's not just desserts. Everything looked really clean, organized, and well stocked, which I always appreciate. The owner was incredibly kind and personable, which made the experience even better. they also accept Apple Pay Highly recommend--definitely worth checking out.

Best cake

10/10 recommendation I love their cake, and Linda was so helpful and good communication!

We stopped by at 6:25 pm and just got in before they closed. They were out of regular boba but still had the mango and lychee popping boba so I was happy. They make a great mango boba. Yum! The owner was trying to sell her remaining pastries but we were just there for the drinks.

I honestly wish I had found T5 Cafe & Bakery sooner. This place is absolutely charming. The space is cozy and beautiful, with European-inspired decor and a subtle fairy-tale vibe that makes you want to slow down and remember of your dreams. It feels perfect for a tea party with young girls, gentle teenagers, or even a newly met couple looking for a quiet, comfortable place to talk with some romantic feeling in the air. They have everything, coffee, fruit drinks, milk tea, pastries, cakes... and everything just feels thoughtfully done. What impressed me the most is the quality of the drinks. They honestly use all real fruits, not powders like most milk tea places, and they are very generous in each cup. The drinks thus taste fresh, rich, and natural, not overly sweet or artificial. The prices are about $0-$3 higher than typical milk tea shops depending on which drink, but honestly they're on par with customized Starbucks drinks or fresh juice places like Jamba Juice, and the value here is way higher. You're getting real ingredients, better nutrition, actual fruit and vitamins, and better flavor overall. From my very Asian mom mindset, this is excellent value for the money. I'm already planning to come back as often as I can, and I'll definitely be treating my daughter's friends here. T5 Cafe & Bakery is one of those places you feel happy supporting, and once you go, you'll understand why. Oh, and they do take cake orders for birthdays. I won't have to go to Sacramento for cakes that are not loaded with sugar anymore.

I just experienced the best food and hospitality from Hometown Dumpling…read more I went for lunch on a Friday and with their help, I ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, and my favorite, sesame balls. The portions were generous, and everything was delicious. There were so many dumplings in the order that I couldn't finish them, and I took them, cold, to my teenager, and she thought they were fantastic. Further, they let me stay in their restaurant and finish a work project. I took up a seat and they were nothing but accommodating to me. I really appreciate all the hospitality that they showed me while I was there working.

Hometown Dumpling in Folsom, CA, serves up some authentic homemade dumpling... they gots boiled,…read more steamed , and pan fried in a variety of fillings. The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items. I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no. It is homemade and comforting, yes! The place is clean, comfortable, and has basic furnishings and decor. There is no music or TV. The owner works most of the shifts. It truly is a small family business that welcomes your family.

Outstanding food & service…read more I got here at opening time at 4:30 PM and was seated right away. I had an order of steamed Steamed BBQ Pork Bao and an order of Dry Fry Chow Fun. For the Dry Fry Chow Fun, I had a combination of both beef and shrimp. Both the beef and the shrimp were cooked perfectly and we're both very tasty and tender.. Kenson L what's my server and he was outstanding as well. The atmosphere is very pleasant and the noise it's not a factor at all. There is nice, gentle music playing in the background. There is glass in front of the kitchen if someone were to want to take a look at what's going on in the back area. There are multiple tables for seating of four persons each which can easily be put together for larger groups. I've eaten here multiple times, but this will be the first time. I've actually sat down to eat as I usually just get take away. Will be back? You bet I will. This is some of the best Chinese food that I've had.

On our first time here, we ordered quite a few dishes. And we got them to go for food we can't…read morefinish. We had black pepper fish fillets, honey walnut shrimp, variety soup dumplings, steamed rice, variety baked buns, and bunny coconut puddings. We're satisfied with their fish and shrimp. They're really not oily and overly salty, which is our preference. The pudding is very cute, my toddler son loves it. The buns were good to reheat on the second day. I wish the service here could be a little better, be more attentive or proactive in serving the table. Other than that, they're fine if you need their attention. The restaurant is big and has lots of tables, also, the plaza has lots of parking.

They offer inside or outside dining options. A full bar with tvs displaying various professional sporting events. Two separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. The service was helpful, attentive, and friendly. Clearing dishes when finished. Fat's Wor Won Ton Soup: chicken breast, shrimp, bbq pork, shrimp & pork won ton, vegetables in a chicken broth (4/5). The ingredients were tasty, however, the soup was lukewarm. So, that means the soup was sitting there for awhile before being served to us. Filet Mignon Steak Kew: hand-cut cubed filet mignon with seasonal vegetables, roasted garlic in a black bean sauce (4/5). Very flavorful and delicious. Orange Chicken: with chili orange sauce (4/5). Deep fried piece in a orange with slight hint of heat. Honey Walnut Prawns: glazed with honey sauce, walnuts, sesame seeds (4/5). Slightly crunchy medium sized prawns in a traditional and tasty sauce. The portion size on each dish was large especially the honey walnut prawns and orange chicken. We were all full yet it didn't look like we made a dent into the dishes. 2x Fat's Famous Banana Cream Pie: fresh bananas layered in a rich egg custard and flaky crust, topped with fresh whipped cream (5/5). This was a very tasty pie and probably one of the best behind Ikeda's. We'll be back. Support your local business.

Listen, on a real bad day, I'll pour some bourbon neat. But on a regular bad day? Banana cream pie from Fats will have me forgetting my problems real quick.

Then here comes the young man at the front, asking if I've tried their strawberry pie. Sir... stay focused. I said no, asked if he tried it, and if it was actually worth betraying my original order. He said he liked it. That slice of strawberry pie made it into my order. Y'all, he didn't lie. That Strawberry Cream Pie? A solid 9/10. Had me questioning my loyalty for a second. Banana cream pie, never disappoints. Will always be my favorite. Now, did I need three slices of pie? Absolutely not. Did I eat like I lost custody of self-control? Yes. Will I be back to do it again? I'll always be a repeat offender. lol
