    Hot Caramel Apple Pie
    Doc P.

    Oh what's in a name? Well, I'll tell you what, A Slice of Goodness is very fitting because that is exactly what their pie is... a slice of goodness. It's so good to know where you can get a delicious slice of pie a la mode that will just warm your soul and the ladies that work there are so friendly and take such good care of customers, made me feel right at home. What are you doing still reading this review? Go on and get you a slice :)

    The dining room is small, very open, and features lots of natural light from the windows.
    Eric R.

    Since 1985, A Slice of Goodness has been offering "family hospitality" to diners who crave delicious sandwiches, soup, salads, and especially PIES! A Slice of Goodness specializes in-made-from-scratch pies, and over the years, they've achieved quite a reputation for their delicious pies, and they've become the go-to pie shop in Roseville, for pies, just like mom used to make. It's late Friday morning, November 05, 2021, and I've arrived at A Slice of Goodness, located in Roseville, CA, on Douglas Blvd., east of downtown. The restaurant is open only Tuesday through Friday, from 10:30 in the morning until 2:00 in the afternoon, but the hours can vary, so if you're visiting from out of town, you should consider calling ahead. As you enter the front door, you come into an odd little hall, and go through another door before you actually enter the dining room. There are a couple of couches for your comfort, in case the dining room is full. The dining room is small, very open, and features lots of natural light from the windows. Furniture is tables, and the decor couldThe small dining room features many knick-knacks, homestyle pictures, and family photos. On this late Friday morning, there was only one other table seated, as the restaurant was doing a brisk business with phone and take-out orders. I overheard the staff talking with a customer who ordered six pies! As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by the selection of pies that are offered today. The pie menu lists a wide variety of pies, but in reality, only a few are offered every day, and are listed on the white board, as the selection changes from day to day. There is also a board that lists the soup and quiche of the "day," along with daily specials. From the "Combos" section of the menu, I went with "Sandwich and Pie," as when you're at A Slice of Goodness, no meal is complete without a slice of their pie! "Ham and Turkey" was my sandwich selection, which always works great for a late Friday morning lunch in early November. The menu describes this selection as, "A half sandwich (club 'Goodness' excluded) served with potato salad, plus a slice of pie (specialty pie extra.)" The menu describes the "Ham and Turkey" sandwich as, "Generous slices of ham and turkey, served with Swiss cheese, tomato and fresh sprouts." Like all sandwich selections, my meal included my choice of "Potato Salad" or "Homemade Applesauce," with sourdough, rye, wheat or white being the bread choices. I chose "Potato Salad" as my side, and sourdough as my bread of choice. This was a large "half sandwich" which included two thick, tender slices of turkey, and two slices of ham. This isn't the kind of meat that you find at one of your national sandwich chains, as this meat was thick, fresh, and premium in every way. A couple slices of Swiss cheese added creamy goodness, and the whole sandwich was enhanced by fresh tomato slices, sprouts and a leaf of romaine lettuce. All of this goodness was placed between two freshly-baked pieces of sourdough bread. One bit into this amazing sandwich, and you were rewarded with a TASTE SENSATION and you could actually taste all ingredients, and they all worked together for an amazing sandwich. This isn't your supermarket deli sandwich, as this is a premium, one-of-a-kind sandwich! I chose potato salad as my side, as I absolutely have never met a potato salad that I don't love, and today I wasn't disappointed. Like everything else at the cafe, the scoop of potato salad is made in-house, from quality ingredients, and you can taste the goodness! The potatoes were cubed, cooked tender, yet a little firm, and the sauce was tangy, and held the delicious salad together. It was great! The meal included a peeled "baby" carrot, a slice of pineapple, a dill pickle slice, resting on a leaf of romaine lettuce. I made short work of the veggies, including the lettuce leaf, and only left a thin piece of pineapple rhine and the toothpick on my plate. The pie... oh... the pie! From the several choices of pies on today's menu, I simply "had " to go with apple, as it's one of my favorites, and a true slice of "Americana" any way you look at it. The pie of pie was a decent size - I'd guess an eighth of a pie - and it made for the perfect ending for my lunch. The delicious sweet, yet tart apples and filling, along with the delicate, flaky, pie crust, sprinkled with sugar made for an amazing slice of pie. I loved my "Sandwich and Pie Combo" lunch, as both the sandwich and the pie were simply amazing! I had difficulty rating this restaurant, as both the food and the service is five stars. But the "price of admission" is high... really high! $14.75 for a half sandwich, a slice of apple pie, and a glass of icewater? Really... So, I just HAD to deduct a star, because of the really, really excessive price. If you can afford the price of lunch, I highly recommend this fine restaurant.

    No one does pie and quiche like slice of goodness. Family and locally owned. It's the only place you can order a home made banana coconut cream pie. Reminds me of my Grammy's recipe.

    The sweetest ladies, the most delicious pies...this place is a gem. Love the cream pies!

    Tokyo Cream is a Japanese dessert place that is located in a small plaza with other businesses…read more There is a small parking lot and it's easy to find parking. Inside the decor is black and white and overall has a modern vibe. The employee greeted us when we walked in but didn't offer to take our order. Then she left to the back and we saw there was a kiosk to order from to the left of the cashier area. I did notice there was a line forming after I ordered since there was only one kiosk. There was 3 people in line and one of the employees came out to turn on a second kiosk. The kiosk was taking a while to load and I felt like the employee could have just started taking orders instead of waiting for the kiosk for good customer service instead of keeping people waiting. I guess some businesses just only use kiosks for ordering now. Their menu offers matcha, coffee, and sparkling soda drinks in addition to various flavored sundaes - matcha, ube, banana, strawberry, boba, and coffee. I went with my partner and we ordered the honey sundae to share. The description said it's made with local honey. It came with a piece of honeycomb. The soft serve is made from Hokkaido milk and it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness. I prefer Asian desserts since they are not overly sweet and it was not overwhelming sweet. The honey paired well to give it some sweetness without being over the top. The honey flavored sundae was probably the most simple compared to the other sundae flavors but still delicious! The sundae was a big amount and was enough to share between two people! I don't think I could have finished it myself! They don't skimp on the portion size. Overall, I would defintely come back to try more sundae flavors and also I want to try their matcha drinks!

Plenty of space to sit. We ordered the Purple Rain, Honey Cubed, and the Tokyo Banana Cream. Purple Rain hit. It had the deep purple color yet not overly strong ube flavor. The uniqueness is the milk cube cakes. Hard to describe the texture and flavor. Either way, it added a nice touch to this one. Honey Cubed was simple. Perfect balance of different sweetness. Only gripe is that the honey does harden so there's a little bit of work to scrape it out of the cup. A battle I'm okay with. I didn't get a chance to try the Tokyo Cream but based on how it was devoured, I'd say it's a win as well. Three wins, with many more flavors to try. I'll be back. I'll drag more of my colleagues next time.

Just looking through the case of all the amazing creation. Basically fancy donuts. One after the other. They also had a few savory items included. Didn't get any but they looked amazing. We ended up going with the bad bundles. Half dozen donuts and 20 piece staxx. Found out that's what people were waiting for when we walked in. Everyone was waiting for them to come fresh out of the oven hence the long wait. It did take a while for us but we were offered a cookie to try while waiting.
