    Dole whip frost em with tajin drizzle
    Bob D.

    I LOVE this bakery! Everything in it is gluten free as well as vegan. This isn't your sad gluten-free bakery with super limited options. She's constantly changing up her menu and you can always find something new and delicious. I highly recommend the Dole whip frosted cookies. They are some of my favorites. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you get there.

    Just a small sample of what I routinely purchase.

    A Rare Gem for Those with Food Allergies, Intolerances, or Simply a Desire for Thoughtful Treats Unless you've personally faced food allergies or intolerances, it's hard to understand the daily struggle of finding something as simple as a baked treat that's both safe and delicious. That's why The Caring Kitchen is such a gift. Even if you can't relate firsthand, I believe we can all choose to be empathetic--and this bakery absolutely does. While I don't have Celiac disease myself, my father did. He loved baked goods but had to avoid them to prevent severe symptoms. I have a gluten intolerance, and I experience inflammatory responses when I consume gluten-based foods. On top of that, I've dealt with a digestive disorder since 1996 that limits my ability to process most animal products (except egg whites and some fish), and I can't tolerate high-fiber or starchy foods like apples, bananas, tortillas, legumes, or even watermelon. In 2020, after years of carefully resetting my gut health, I transitioned to a balanced carb-to-protein lifestyle. The results were life-changing: 40+ pounds lost, a major drop in cholesterol and triglycerides (from heart-attack-risk to healthy), and no more pain in my knees or joints. Enter The Caring Kitchen. This bakery understands--they don't just offer gluten-free and vegan options; they also cater to the top 9 food allergens, and do it with compassion and care. I've never experienced inflammation or digestive issues from their products. That's huge. Now, for the folks who critique the sugar content: Let's be honest--sweet treats aren't required in any diet. But accessible, allergen-conscious, less-inflammatory treats absolutely have a place in a balanced lifestyle. I visit once a month, stock up on cookies, cupcakes, and bars, cut them into small servings, freeze them, and enjoy them mindfully throughout the month. They freeze and thaw beautifully. I get the flavor, the satisfaction, and none of the regret. To the team at The Caring Kitchen: Thank you. Thank you for caring about your customers. Thank you for tirelessly researching, experimenting, and creating with people like me in mind. Your efforts may go unrecognized by some--but for many of us, they are life-changing. Your bakery is a true gem. One that brightens lives, one thoughtful bite at a time.

    The most delicious treats you ever had the pleasure of having!

    This bakery is amazing! All of the treats are delicious and they have to added benefit of being gluten free and allergy friendly! And not like..it's good for gluten free...it's just good! I went in and came out with an entire box of goods and there were no regrets to be had. The staff is amazing and you can really tell they truly care about giving everyone a great experience. How good are these treats...I live in LA and I would drive the 6 hours just for these treats!!! Don't miss out! Road trip anyone?!

    Chocolate chip cookie dough and churro

    Picked up the cookie dough and churro cookie today. Absolutely delicious. A family member was just diagnosed with celiac disease, appreciate you for having affordable amazing options.

    Mouse ears to support the CHOC fundraiser. Delicious Coffee Cake.

    So happy to have this location open!!! Remember when Gluten Free meant grainy, fall-apart food that tasted a bit like cardboard? Well, those days are gone!!! Such delicious treats!!! Even small sourdough round loaves that I use to make sandwiches at home. Oh how I've missed tuna melts. Go now, you won't regret it.

    We absolutely love The Caring Kitchen! Our daughter is gluten and dairy free and her best friend has nut allergies so it is so great to be able to take them for a treat and see the delight they have in picking anything they want from the case. And I must say the treats are yummy, even coming from someone who does not have any food allergies. Staff has always been really friendly as well!

    Tater toffee cookie

    The Caring Kitchen is doing the veganchefchallenge.org/sac and had 4 bakery items for the challenge . I tried 3 of 4 , only because I don't like ham. Otherwise I would have tried them all. I chose the Orange chocolate mousse cup as my favorite . Both The orange and chocolate flavors complemented each other. It's a winner quality. The other 2 were delicious as all her treats are. The employees are friendly at both Orangevale and Rancho. The bakery is always nice and clean. I always enjoyed going and getting treats from her bakeries for my family Everything is delicious. You can tell by the taste of her treats that she makes them with love. Go try them yourself and you'll see. You'll be a regular customer like my family is.

Today, I was craving a milk tea, but I wanted to check out a never boba and dessert sport and trusty ol' Yelp popped up with Kobing Dessert Studio not to mention their rating is 4.5 so i knew I had to see what they offer. They do not have a big drink selection, but what they do have is different from other boba spots and they do have a selection of desserts. The service is really good and they two employees were very friendly. The inside is super cute and cozy. I ordered the coconut strawberry cloud drink. It consists of coconut water and fresh strawberry milk. I added boba and coconut jelly to my drink. I will for sure be back the prices are great too!

We ate around the cheesecake bites and mochi because they were SO STALE. I personally don't prefer my bingsu drenched in syrup either. They have a lot of other things to order, but I recommend skipping the strawberry cheesecake bingsu. The spot was really cute and clean. There were a ton of tables open on a Wednesday evening. Staff was super nice and efficient!

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!

    I rarely give one star and honestly, if they were honest and said they fumbled my drink order then…read moreI would give them more than a star. On Fridays, my kids and I get boba. It's like an "end of the week" treat for us. We decided to go to Sweetea since its down the street from my son's learning and we were 30 mins early. When we got there, it wasn't busy. Person in front us just ordered so we didn't have to wait long to order. I ordered a regular Thai tea w/ boba, oreo smoothie w/ boba and small black ice tea. I asked for one pump of lychee syrup and I remember the guy saying he'll need to write that down (maybe because its custom). After I order, a wave of people come in (which makes sense since its after school & there is a high school nearby). So, I'm looking around and i'm like "he's the only one working." He literally took everyone's order which took awhile. And by the time he got through the influx of people, then he started working on the drinks. I'm like "poor guy." And then his co-worker came out of from the back. 20 minutes already passed by from the time I ordered and when they finally called out my order, these two girls swooped in front of me and grabbed it. They don't call your name or anything, they just say the order out loud. One of the girl grabbed two of the orders (thai tea & oreo smoothie) and the other one grabbed the black ice tea. I was like "they came after me and ordered the same drink? And what teenager drinks black ice tea at a boba shop?" By this time, I'm annoyed because we are already late and a bunch of people who came after me was getting their drinks. When I asked about my order, he was like "which one is it?" And then another 10 mins.. when I finaly got my order.. they got two of the orders wrong. They gave me a taro smoothie w/ boba.. i said it was wrong and its the oreo smoothie. And then they said "is it the one with the coffee jelly".. i said "no, its boba" ... then they gave me my black ice tea with popping boba. I didn't order a popping boba I didn't want to complain anymore plus we were already late so I just grabbed our drinks and left. I don't think we'll be coming back.
