    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?!

    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!

    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.

    Came here for dessert and was pleasantly surprised by the wide selection they offer. I ordered the…read moreTropical Sunrise with watermelon popping boba, and it was absolutely delicious and refreshing. Yana, who helped us with our order, was wonderful--very attentive and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. She even gave us these adorable snowman containers, which was such a thoughtful and charming touch. The ambience was inviting, and we truly enjoyed the overall experience. They also offer a complimentary photo print, which was a fun and unique addition. Although we didn't get to try the bingsu this time, we did try the Croiffles, and they exceeded expectations--perfectly crispy, and the whipped cream was light and made to perfection. Overall, a delightful dessert spot. We would definitely come back every time we're in the area.

    For a place with such a limited menu, I find a few things consistently frustrating (and I've…read moreprobably been here at least 30 times since they opened): 1.Even when there's only one other person inside, ordering a single item somehow takes way too long. 2.The customer experience can be rough. Almost every time I'm there, people take forever to order from a very small menu, ask a million unnecessary questions, and leave a mess behind. 3.I've tried ordering online to avoid all of the above (I live five minutes away), but the mini shaved ice -- which I always order -- isn't available online. On any platform. I've mentioned this multiple times over the years and nothing has changed. If you sell it in-store, why can't it be ordered online? That said, the shaved ice flavors are great and the crowaffles are really good too. I just wish the overall experience matched the quality of the food.
