I also like that they offer daily specials, which keeps things interesting and gives you a chance to try something new each visit. Overall, it's a reliable go-to whenever I'm in the mood for a good coffee and something a little different from the usual options.

I love the decorations so much in this place it was so well thought out. We were greeted right away from a beautiful lady from behind the counter whom we found out was one of the owners. We got a chatting a bit about her business with her husband. She was super warm and wonderful to talk to. Their chocolate is with a small business out of Las Vegas. They make small batches of chocolate of each flavour of chocolates. It was so nice that there was also coffee and tea options, plus other desserts like donuts, scones, danish plus so much other choices. I love that they have a Macaron & Coffee Flight. They even have gluten free Macaron choices. So many hand made chocolates and gelatos. They have cute seated areas to have your desserts at. They even have a cute gift shelf in the back. Most definitely have to come back here and try some other things in the future.

I always get the mango sticky rice, and honestly, no place has beaten it.

My boyfriend is obsessed with the banana matcha sticky rice. It wasn't on the menu this time, but the worker still made it for him, which was really nice. It's just as delicious. There are plenty of tables inside and some benches outside too, so it's easy to hang out for a bit. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

They have some indoor and outdoor seating and it's a great date night spot or quick stop to pick up a drink and a bite. On my latest visit I popped in with some friends and we ordered some of their desserts and a loaf of bread. I took home a chocolate mousse cake and it was both beautiful and delicious.

I dont have photos of what I got for valentines day but remmeber them being ok but nothing mind-blowing Maybe its just the DOCO one that sucks but I went to give them another chance the day before mother's day and sorely regretted it. I got the matcha croissant ive been hearing about, the new blueberry cream croissant and the mango passionfruit entremet. The Croissants were a huge flop. Blueberry had barely enough filling inside-the cream itself was tasty but croissant was rough in texture and not flaky. Matcha was a bit more flaky and had more filling-I wouldn't say GENEROUS amount as some have said but maybe I just got a bad one. The cream was too subtle -it was more like vanilla with a hint of matcha. The entremet was the only one that didnt suck-it was delicious but again I wouldn't say anywhere in Sacramento has wowed me yet with their entremets compared to places in the bay except for the ones that ginger Elizabeth has had in the past-the flavor itself was on point, i will say the texture of the entremets have a majority layer of the jelly part-if they could perfect the variety of layers you're supposed to get in each bite I would be more impressed as thats the whole point of enjoying an entremet. Honestly I should have just gotten one pastry to try in one day as they are pricey-i paid 31 not including the tip fot my pastries, and in this economy one cannot waste that much on disappointing sweet treats lol

I've been coming to Estelle's Bakery & Patisserie for years since I used to live only a block away,…read moreso it became one of my favorite places to walk to for tea and desserts. I've since moved out of state, but during my last visit in January this year, the treats and drinks were just as delicious as I remembered. This was always one of my favorite spots to spend a few hours catching up with girlfriends over tea and pastries. The ambience is lovely and gives off fancy tea party vibes, making it perfect for casual conversations, book discussions, or just relaxing with something sweet. My personal favorites are the rose macaron and the mont blanc desserts. If I'm feeling hungry, I usually order the ratatouille, and the vanilla bean French toast is amazing when I want something sweet but filling. Matcha is always my go-to drink here too (though it's on the sweet side, so I don't think it's ceremonial grade). I remember my first visit; It was when I stopped by later in the day looking for a birthday cake for my son's 8th birthday about five years ago. I ended up choosing their chocolate mousse cake on a whim since it was one of the cakes they still had on display, and it turned out to be a good decision. My son loved it, but it was too chocolatey for me so he ended up having most of the cake. Still one of the memories I remember most from here. It was something I kept in mind that if I wanted more options and variety, I should arrive earlier in the day. There are a few downsides that keep this from being a full 5 stars for me though. The parking lot is very small and street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. The place gets crowded very easily, which is why I usually preferred walking there when I lived nearby. There's often a guard stationed at the front kindly holding the door open, though I imagine that's also due to the neighborhood. Pricing is definitely on the expensive side, but honestly that's fairly expected with a patisserie. My biggest issue is that service can noticeably decline when they're overwhelmed. Depending on when you visit, the line can get absurdly long (almost out the front door), and I've experienced slower service and even had my drink mixed up with another customer's order once. Since I order oat milk due to lactose intolerance, getting the order correct is pretty important. Thankfully, when the bakery isn't overly busy and adequately staffed, the employees are attentive, friendly, and very helpful with the ordering process if you have questions. It is still one of the Sacramento bakeries I miss after moving away. It was so lovely to have a bakery down the street from home.

We actually have purchased her macarons at a pop up inside a coffee shop that didn't survive these covid times. Sad but real. This past December 2021 Saturday she was located inside the West Elm furniture store nearby Mendocino Farms restaurant. My wife was mistaken thinking she was outside but I saw her hubby JR in front of the store chatting with another small business vendor & told me Tiffany was inside. We have supported this small business for over five years bc Tiffany told us how old her two girls are now 6 & 11. Where has time flown? Wifey wanted to try her newest ube flan macarons. Whoa these were delicious bites made from heaven. They were unique like none other. You can tell they were made with love. We were accustomed to Tiffany's usual macarons case but instead she had ready made 6 pack & 12 pack macaron boxes as well as hot cocoa bombs & leche flan dessert cups specific for the holiday season! Come support this small home business. You will thank me later. Follow Love and macarons on Instagram or on her website for her pop up information. If you're lucky you may be able to preorder some macarons today & pick them up right away! Check it out now! Don't wait.

I tried the salted caramel, cake which was good, though a little too chocolaty for my taste. Prices feel fair for the area and what you're getting. Definitely worth checking out if you're nearby!
