Previously I was only aware of the one in Elk Grove which I have frequented numerous times (I even have a pint of their Mocha Almon Fudge ice cream in my freezer right now!) Everyone ordered individual single serving scoops of ice cream; all differently flavors. For ice cream, Handles I'd say is my go-to spot for ice cream in the area.

Decided to try this spot because Handel's had a long line on a Sunday night. So, went inside and…read morewas greeted right away. Service was fast and friendly. The bad: This ice cream is way over hyped and IMO way OVER priced. But, that's just me. Everyone has a different taste, so don't get offended. I do recommend this spot because service is TOP NOTCH! I even gave them a good tip, but for a basic milk shake and a "Like it" size scoop of ice cream is not worth $21.... I could have spend that amount on some really good ice cream at Leatherby's. Anyhow, this is just my opinion and maybe just maybe Cold Stone should tone down on the pricing on a shake that tasted just like a McDonald's one. $4 extra for two strawberries, scoop of nuts and little bit of caramel topping with the shake already costing $9? Nah....... I'm good.

Love Cold Stone! The ice cream is always fresh, creamy, and delicious. Great flavors, friendly…read morestaff, and excellent service. I'll definitely be back!

Could you possibly have a bad experience at Crumbl Cookie :-) lol!…read more I want to share a tip! Remember tips on Yelp?:) The closest Crumbl Cookie to me is in Folsom. It is always busy with lots of customers coming and going. So that equals waiting. But if I am driving to or from Sacramento on Highway 50 I can take the Zinfandel exit in Rancho Cordova and literally be at a much less crowded Crumbl store in minutes. I have been here many times now and the service is always excellent, the shop is clean and inviting, and there is plenty of parking. Best of all, I have my choice of the same, wonderful and delicious cookies as the Folsom location. And... there is never a wait! So all you Folsom and El Dorado Hills peeps traveling up and down Highway 50 corridor... know that if you want a quick Crumbl Cookie fix without a long wait... head on over to the RC location. Eating good in the "Crumbl" hood! Where dreams come true :-)

In the past I haven't been the biggest fan of Crumbl because I'm not a fan of cakey cookies…read more However, this week they had thin cookies that were chewy and perfect. We tried the red velvet, birthday cake, and s'mores. They were all good, but the s'mores in particular was fantastic and gooey. We also got the Dubai chocolate cookie sandwich with the thin cookies, and that was one of the best cookies I've ever had in my life. If Crumbl keeps making the thin cookies, I will come more often. It would be nice if they offered both at the same time - like 3 flavors in thin-style and 3 in cakey-style because I know other people prefer their original style.

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 also grabbed a strawberry shortcake cup from the freezer case. Cake part was a little dry and a little heavy-handedness on the strawberry syrup. Not bad if you have a hankering for some strawberry shortcake though. Lady at the counter was super sweet. Overall great neighborhood treat spot in the area!

We finally made our way from Rocklin to try out Urban Desserts. And now I'm wondering why we…read moredidn't come sooner!!! The place is super cute! We walked in to be welcomed by the owner. He was super nice and helpful being it was our first time there. There is definitely something for everyone, from sweet to savory, hot and cold. Frozen yogurt, shakes, smoothies, waffles, crepes, cake, cookies, frozen cheesecake, frozen chocolate covered bananas, and so much more. I decided on a Coffee Affogado with Hazelnut. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect amount of coffee, frozen yogurt and sweet hazelnut... 10/10. My oldest ordered a Peach Smoothie. It was sweet and refreshing with chucks of fruit. Absolute perfection. My youngest decided on vanilla frozen yogurt with strawberry popping boba as her topping. He put tons of toppings which made for one happy girl. Next time we decided we need to try a crepe, frozen cheesecake on a stick and the strawberry shortcake cup in the fridge. My girls and I highly recommend checking this place out for all your sweet tooth cravings!

This is the only Yogurtland in the "Sacramento" area ):…read more This location is clean, with a few tables to enjoy our yogurt inside. The staff were friendly. I always enjoyed Yogurtland's variety of yogurt flavors and quality of yogurt. I'm not sure if it's normally like this or maybe just when I went, but the yogurts were a little liquidy than I remember. They have a decent selection of toppings and their pricing is $0.85/oz. If you're looking for a froyo inspo, here's what I recommend: 1/2 euro tart, 1/2 pomegranate froyo, topped with cheesecake bites, mochi, fresh blueberries, and fresh strawberries.

First let me start by saying... FROYO!!…read more I'm a big fan of frozen yogurt, and when the flavors and toppings are this stacked, I'm basically a kid in a candy store. Ambiance: 7/10 It's a yogurt shop, so don't expect much in terms of decor... but honestly, that's not what we're here for. The focus is the froyo. They've got some indoor seating along the wall and a small aarea in the back, enough to chill if you're not taking it togo. Service: 5/10 It's a self serve place, so interaction is minimal. Only reason I'm knocking it down is because it took a while for someone to come out from the back when I needed a sample cup. Once I had that, I was good to go. Food: 10/10 I sampled about 6 different flavors (zero shame), and settled on cheesecake and chocolate raspberry truffle....SO good. I went full dessert mode and topped it with cheesecake bites (a must for me), cookie dough bites, brownies, cherries, you get the picture. It was glorious, and I had leftovers for a second round later. Thanks, Yogurtland, for being loaded with options and not skimping on the good stuff. I'll definitely keep coming back for my froyo fix.

Headline: Another great brewery in Rancho Cordova!…read more Location: Located off sunrise blvd, is this unassuming brewery. I say that because when I entered I thought I was coming into a small little brewery but was suprised to find a pretty big place. Not only does it have the a bunch of seating areas to the side but they have a large open space in the back. Of course it was a cloudly day so we opted to stay inside. This place has a nice vibe with different seating areas and smaller areas if you want to stay away from the crowd. They also have some single seats and an area with a bunch of different games. Really suprised at how big this place is. Service: The beertender was very helpful letting us try out different drinks and providing some information on what we might lake based on taste. We didn't get too much interaction after we served our drinks but it was a good interaction and means we were able to get our drinks real quick. Drinks: I ended up getting the coffee stout made from Kingdom Coffee Roaster beans and was suprised about how light it was. I couldn't resist once I actually tasted it. While not a dark rich stout it still had a creamy light finish and honestly was something that I would order again. Defintely a place worth checking out if breweries are your thing!
