Same for the cinnamon roll. Even after 6 hours and starting to dry out a little, STILL yummy. The sourdough loaf is magnificent. The quiche was for my wife. I am not really a quiche guy.....and even that was good. I am going back tomorrow.

The gentleman, Ken, who runs the shop with his son, was super friendly and accommodating to my special requests. My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich...it was super tasty with onions caramelized to perfection. We both ordered a turkey sandwich to go...the bread was so fresh and delicious and made with quality ingredients and I might add that they were not stingy with the amount of avocado they loaded on the sandwich! We also bought a loaf of Meyer lemon Rosemary sourdough to go, which I highly recommended. You can tell by the great customer service and goods baked to perfection, that this bakery takes a lot of pride in the work they do! I will definitely be back to try more!

Flour Garden Bakery in Auburn has a bright, welcoming bakery-cafe atmosphere. When you walk in, you…read moreare greeted by large display case packed with handcrafted artisan breads, bagels, fresh-baked pastries, and custom-made cakes, alongside plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices. You will also see chalkboards and cases featuring their daily selection of fresh salads, homemade soups, sandwiches, and organic juices. As I was looking for a parking spot, I noticed one of my regulars is also a regular here. We were so happy to see each other. There we were pulling out our phones to show each other pictures of our kids. Since he was on his way out, we said our goodbyes do that I could get down to business... and pleasure my taste buds. First, I like the checkered floor. I feel like it adds to the playfulness of the atmosphere. The art on the walls was extraordinary. I couldn't help but study it. While Robb and Mimi were helping other patrons at the counter, it gave me plenty of time to look at their gorgeous creations. The custom made cakes and cupcakes made my eye twinkle. It brought back memories of when I used to be a cake decorator. It takes time and patience to create these masterpiece. The cakes cakes made with superior ingredients looked classic... Immediately, the giant German Chocolate cupcake caught my eye. One of those was definitely going home with me. Since it was early, I needed something more breakfast like to start with. If you're visiting in the morning or looking for a refreshing drink, they also feature an extensive fresh juice bar where they will blend combos on the spot. Robb was the person to help me. With a big smile, asked what I would like. I asked what was popular here because it was my first time. They said the almond breakfast cake was pretty popular. So Robb packed me up and I was on my way with both the Almond Bahar cake and giant German Chocolate cake! Robb even offered to warm up my almond cake for me! Thank you, Robb!!!! When I got home, both the German Chocolate cake and Almond Breakfast cake had some weight to them. With my first bite of the Almost Breakfast cake.. it was a warm beautiful bite... and exactly how I like my cakes... not too sweet, a little fruity, with a nutty taste. From the inside out, this breakfast cake was made insanely good. I loved the crumb topping. You know I had to take a bite of that German Chocolate cupcake... although it was breakfast time! Let's just say I definitely spoiled myself with this one. The cake was moist and with a deep cocoa flavor! The coconut-pecan frosting was creamy, a gooey goodness. It was a phenomenal contrast with the soft moist cake. I think I can taste that the pecans were toasted to add even more of a nutty flavor! Perfection! Someone here knows exactly what they're doing and I can't eat another German Chocolate cake from anywhere but here! In fact, hold on while I take another bite... I have not even touched the tip of the iceberg with this review on the cozy lunches that they offer. How exciting does it sound to be able to have lunch, and then get up and go pick a dessert after? Or enjoy a cinnamon twist with a fresh cup of brewed coffee? Pure bliss! Taste of heaven! Flour Garden Bakery makes me want to stop in everyday and try one of everything. The price ranges from moderate to slightly high... however, you can expect some of the best flavors in town coming from this delicious bakery. If you come by, you won't be disappointed!

Nice place to stretch your legs and stop for a snack and pick-me-up on the way to Tahoe!…read more I like their day-old discounted bread and baked good section. Coffee drinks are strong and get the job done. Good service and lots of tables, though it feels kinda industrial inside. I'd add some more pops of color.

This year's cake was painted in order to achieve the detail. If you want quality and great customer service, stop looking. This woman and her shop are it!

I…read moreknew that there is probably a lot of turnover so I waited patiently for a parking spot to open and I'm so glad I did. It's mostly a market but we came for the food. It's really busy and hectic but they are very efficient and we found plenty of available seating to enjoy our food. I got the tasty bacon burger and my husband the TRI-Tip sandwich. We loved both. They put some kind of delicious spice blend on the burger that made it so so delish! and the sandwich was super generous with a side of au-jus. It's not fancy but it hit the spot for a quick road trip spot. We didn't browse too much around the store but there were tons of people shopping and buying their award winning pies. Wish we lived closer! Highly recommended.

I can't tell you how many times I've driven past Ikeda's saying, "I'll stop on the way back," or,…read more"We need to check that place out." Then... I never do. Well, Ikeda's... my bad. I went in thinking I was grabbing a slice of pie and walking out. That plan lasted about 30 seconds. They had samples everywhere, and every time I turned around I found something else I wanted. We ended up leaving with a Dutch apple pie slice, Marionberry pie, Triple Berry pie, peach cobbler, chocolate-covered gummy bears, a chicken pot pie... and I'm pretty sure there was more because by then I had lost track. My friend wasn't even shopping anymore. She was throwing stuff into the basket like Jordan shooting a fadeaway. I swear I heard her say, "Count it!" once or twice. The staff was awesome. Super friendly, happy to answer questions, and the whole place was clean and easy to walk around. Whether you're looking for pies, snacks, gifts, or just want to wander around for a bit, you'll probably leave with more than you planned. Next time I'm skipping dessert first and going straight for the burgers and fries... although knowing me, I'll probably leave with another pie too.

NO LONGER MACHADO!…read more I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience here. I've been coming to this farm for almost 2 decades buying the best pies from machado. I bought a few pies on the website in advance to take to my family on Thanksgiving and got ZERO correspondence from them after placing the order and calling + sending several emails. After a month of being ghosted by them, I eventually got my refund but the ownership has TERRIBLE customer service and desperately needs to get their shit together. I will never come back here and I've told everyone in my life who used to visit Machado religiously to also never patronize this business again. I'd give ZERO STARS to this orchard if I could!!!! Way to drag the Machado name, SMH!

I travel ALOT and have tried MANY donut spots but this the best I've ever had. They even beat out…read morethe more cliché fancy ones in the downtown metro areas. I had the crème brule donut and it was to die for! I had to find a quiet spot, like in Ally Mcbeal, for that first bite & coffee sip. AHHH! Yah it was that good! The price was right for the quality vs the quantity and requires a return visit. These guys just opened so I can't wait to see what they do with coffee options later on. Speaking of which, the one star comment by Matt C (the cat DJ) is suspect. I mean come on 1,206 reviews, there is no quality to Matt's one star review and he violates Yelp review guidelines by reviewing on competitors in his industry, 198 of them. Here, Matt posts that he would rather stuff Wal-Mart donuts in his face to get more quantity instead of, as he claims, Hula Buns makes "a better tasting donut". I hope people make more reviews to counteract this kind of fake engagement. In a nutshell, Hula Buns makes superior quality pastries, call ahead is available, it's a pick up only joint; so the ambience is not for sitting and working, you can see a real kitchen in operation right behind the cashier, you see that the donuts are fresh, it's easy to find, the parking is good AND THEY DELIVER SMALL AND LARGE ORDERS! My co-workers are going to so LOVE ME!
