I desperately wanted to like this bakery but it just didn't cut it for me. Their fruit tartes was what I was looking forward to and was severely disappointed. Their crust was hard and it tasted stale. I'm usually for the crumbly, soft crust. Their custard didn't have any flavor. Then I tried a slice of their lemon cake and it was so dry. Their service was lovely and speedy. I did love that about them. Ambiance is more takeout kinda vibe. I wouldn't sit and eat since (1) it's super small and (2) it's loud. read more

Freeport is a bakery staple in Sacramento. They are delicious and I grew up eating their baked goods. They also have very good coffee which surprised me. The 4 stars is for their lack of variety for those with diety restrictions. As in they don't have a single gluten free or gluten friendly item. In 2024 I feel like that is a must. if you don't have diety restrictions, this place is a 5 stars and a must try bakery read more

Came here to pick up dessert for Chinese new year. Dinner last Saturday. Freeport Bakery did not disappoint! check out the extremely detailed cake! So pretty we did not want to cut LOL. I was not able to enjoy it since it is not gluten-free, but nine of my other family members said this was awesome I was told this has vanilla and lemon flavor and very decadent. I came here shortly after opening and it was busy already! I was lucky to even get a parking space. Staff are always friendly and knowledgeable. Ambiance is always chill and casual. Best bakery in Sacramento! read more

This has been my go-too bakery for every event, office party, gifts, etc. since about 2003. I am not sure what is happening, but in the last year the customer service has taken the wrong term. Sometimes the person is incredibly slow, rude, or just condescending, telling me that what I am asking for doesn't exist even though I know it does because I bought it time and time again (not that they are out, that what I was describing they do not make, which they do because it was on their website). The worst was watching the person in the back stick their hand in a bag of cake toppings and sprinkle it all over the cake after I witnessed her handling different items and boxes. There has been inconsistencies in quality, but still better than anything you can get at a store so those I was not too concerned about. I really hope this is just a blip and the services comes back around. Until then I will look busy until one of the OG staff are available, or order ahead when possible. read more

We ordered cake tastings for our wedding here. $40 or so. The cakes were delicious. I was so excited to order our cake from there. However when we went to do a consultation, they had NO available appointments for the rest of the year for wedding cakes. So we wasted our money & time driving 40 min there. If you're a future bride, don't waste your time. read more

I ordered a 7 inch cake and individual tarts from them for a baby shower. Really great stuff!! I am from out of town so when we were planning this thing, I just went with the reviews. I would've liked to have had a custom cake but since they aren't doing those, I had to go with the options they have. I was not disappointed! I got the lemon cooler cake with the modern flower decoration and a dozen individual fruit tarts. Placed the order about a week ago. Called them yesterday to confirm that the order was ready and yes it was! The lemon cooler cake was very very moist!! Lots of lemon which we loved. There was just enough frosting to taste sweet without going overboard. Quite light too! The fruit tarts were also delicious! The custard was just sweet enough and they had strawberries, kiwis, grapes etc. The people at the store were very nice too. They have a parking lot so don't worry about not finding parking. Pricing-wise it is a tad on the higher side (I spent $139 for the 7 inch cake, including a $20 fee for decoration and the individual tarts). But they are delicious so I thought it was worth the extra money! Recommend them for your next event for sure! read more

One need not hail from the refined boulevards of Land Park to know of the world-renowned Freeport Bakery. Indeed, its reputation has long eclipsed neighborhood boundaries, its cakes whispered of from the hills of Meadowview to the proud rooftops of Del Paso Heights. For the true connoisseur, it is not uncommon to cross great distances in pilgrimage for a Linzer cookie or the storied Pragel--a mythical creation, half bagel, half pretzel, and wholly beyond classification. It is neither he nor she. It simply is. And yet, for all its culinary majesty, I fear Freeport Bakery has acquired a faint whiff of hubris. Not in the taste, mind you--that remains divine--but in policy. You see, this establishment, beloved by grandmothers and foodies alike, has decided to banish cash from its kingdom. Yes, in this sugar-laced monarchy, the greenback is no longer welcome. The staff, bless them, are cordial and warm, but unwavering in this decree. Allow me a brief tale: I recently escorted my dear Granny--venerable, sprightly, and firmly rooted in the analog age--for a lemon bar she's described as "what heaven must serve at teatime." Alas, your humble narrator had forgotten his wallet, and Granny, a woman of old-world persuasion, deals strictly in paper--not plastic. We departed empty-handed and a touch disheartened. But despair not, dear reader, for Marie's Donuts, that humble neighbor with no airs and a healthy respect for legal tender, welcomed us gladly. Two maple bars later, Granny was mollified, and I--thanks to sugary diplomacy--may yet remain in her will. Freeport Bakery remains a jewel, but even the finest confections are best served with a spoonful of humility. Four stars. Minus one for the tyranny of tap read more

I purchased a cake online a month prior and selected a time slot for pickup and unfortunately they do not stand behind their pick up times!! This is unfortunate. The cake quality is decent quality however after having to wait and belittled by an employee when I asked a simple question about them having a separate reservation line. Bad customer service experience and will not come back. read more

amazing cupcakes/cookies/cakes. everything was perfection. no complaints. this must be a hundredth bakery I have visited in my lifetime and after living in Bay Area for 27 years. Sacramento stole the show! read more

I often come in as I work nearby. I usually order coffee and a croissant. Sometimes I will order cakes, cookies, and tarts for special occasions. I was disappointed today when I ordered a ham and cheese croissant. Although the croissant was good, there was bright yellow mustard, not dijion, and no cheese at all on a really thick and unpleasant piece of ham. For $6.95 a piece it's disappointing. I also tipped upfront because they don't take cash. That was a mistake. So expensive for mediocre quality --disappointing read more

Hands down another great bakery! I've been coming here for a long time. I haven't visit this bakery as much as want to because they no longer carry red velvet cake. However, my mom and brother love the fruit basket cake so this is where we order their birthday cakes. Also, we love to try their seasonal cake and treats. I bought a seasonal cake yesterday for my cousin's 30th birthday and it was delicious. I bought the salted Carmel with buttercream frosting. I don't remember what this cake is called but you can't go wrong with salted Carmel. Very friendly staff, if you're in the area, you've got try their cakes, scones, cookies, and pastries. read more

We are so glad we chose Susan and the Wedding Department at Freeport Bakery for our wedding cake and dessert bar. From the very beginning, Susan was incredibly responsive and helpful. She patiently answered all of my questions and worked closely with us to find options that fit perfectly within our budget. Susan was an absolute rockstar, going above and beyond with number crunching to make sure everything was just right! They coordinated drop off at our venue which appeared to go smoothly because I had not a clue when they arrived and when they left - they communicated with our coordinator and venue manager which really helped alleviate some day of stressors. The cake and desserts were beautiful and absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the dessert selection, and most of it was gone by the end of the night - which is exactly what we hoped for! We even managed to save and freeze a few treats for later. One of the perks of choosing Freeport Bakery for your wedding is the option to have a fresh, smaller version of your cake made for your one year anniversary. This eliminates the need to freeze part of your wedding cake, and we can't wait to enjoy a fresh one next year! Thank you so much, Susan and team, for helping make our wedding day truly perfect! We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a bakery that excels in both taste and presentation. You won't be disappointed! read more

The baked goods are so great but the service for the second time has been disappointing. Today after spending $100 and waiting in line for 20 minutes (which was fine, I expected it) I had to wait another 15 minutes for an Americano after paying and being completely done with my order. I was frustrated but tried to just go with the flow and then half the coffee spilled in my car because the lid didn't even fit properly. This is the second time something like this happened.....I know they are often busy (they serve amazing baked goods) I just wish the service was better. I left feeling so disappointed. read more

Love their baked goods - but they are not a GF bakery. They do sell only 2 "cakes" that are GF, but they call them flourless. So if you want a real GF cake or something like that, got to go else where. read more

I have ordered quite a few cakes from here, including a giant sheet cake from my wedding and I can say they have all been delicious! The cute little bakery is a good size and an inviting environment, and the staff are all very kind and willing to give you recommendations. They are a little bit more on the expensive side, but you can get it by the slice before you get a whole cake. My personal favorite is the fruit basket cake, but I've probably tried at least five different other types of cakes from there and they all have been really good. They do not always have cakes in stock so if you plan to get a whole cake, I recommend you call and pre-order it. read more

I had bought some cupcakes, which were dry and disappointing. I posted a yelp review, and immediately heard back from Marlene, apologizing for the poor quality and to please call to speak to Dawn to get a credit on my purchase. I did that, and Dawn was so kind, apologetic, and professional. She credited my account immediately. It was amazing to find a business who sincerely wants to please the customers. I love Freeport bakery! read more

Ordered a vegan bday cake online. Ordering and pick up was very easy. Inside the store is cute. However, the cake was extremely sweet and took away from the actual flavor so much that we could not even finish our small slice served to each member. Hopefully, the bakery can balance the sweetness or add levels of sweetness options when ordering. We have ordered from here before and never had this issue. read more

I was raised in Sacramento and have lived here almost my entire life and Freeport Bakery is a staple. Cakes are incredible so this review has nothing to do with quality and taste of their cakes and pastries. Last week I went in to get my mom slice of the fruit basket as it's her favorite. It was maybe 50 minutes before closing. The person who helped me has worked there for a very long time. I asked her for a slice of the fruit basket and she said, Oh no we don't cut that one. I was surprised because I have bought slices of it before. And so I asked if it's a practice they no longer do. She looked at the clock and said, oh no it's too late I won't be able to sell the rest and then we'll have to give it to Loaves and Fishes. I was shocked and pretty disgusted with that comment. I understand not wanting to cut a cake if you won't be able to sell the rest, but to make that comment of having to then donate it to an organization that feeds and supports our unhoused community was crazy and unkind. If you as a business don't want to donate to local organizations, then don't donate just don't share those gross thoughts with your customers because it left a sour taste in my mouth that no Freeport pastry can get rid of. read more

My daughter in law gets my carrot birthday cake here every year for the last few years. We picked one up today, I am very disappointed! The cake portion was dry, not as moist and delicious as usual. I'm hoping this was a fluke because I love their carrot cake. Sad and disappointed. read more

We ordered our wedding cakes, my sister's birthday cake, and other desserts from Freeport Bakery back in January 2025. Working with this bakery was an absolute pleasure! They were incredibly easy to collaborate with and demonstrated impressive flexibility in accommodating our requests. The prices were fair, reflecting the high quality of their baked goods. And speaking of quality, their cakes were delicious, a true testament to their baking expertise. Beyond the cake, their mini chocolate chip cookies were a delightful treat, but the real star of the show was the chocolate coconut macarons. Honestly the macarons were the bomb dot com. Everything really was an absolute hit. I'd totally order from this bakery again if I had to order another cake or other desserts for another special occasion! (recommend to do a trial to try all the different flavors! all delicious!) read more

Mocha cake was beautifully decorated. Cake tasted dry and old. Frosting was way too sweet. It was not a well balanced tasting cake. We were extremely disappointed. It was such a waste of money. Cake went into the trash. It is not the same legendary Freeport Bakery. KP Market Bakery is the hidden gem! read more

I ordered a cake and didn't like the writing on it so I asked to have it fixed and got an attitude from worker about it. Also manager was very rude. Maybe they should get a better cake decorator that knows how to write on cakes instead of it looking like crap! Been coming to this bakery since 2000 but definitely will not going back here. I will be going to Ettore's from now on! read more

BEST bakery and a gem in Sacramento! I've ordered a birthday cake (Burnt Almond Cake) online for pick-up. Best time to come here is during the weekday. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Expect a wait on the weekends. CAKES They have so many different kind of cakes. From classics - Carrot Cake, Fruit Tarts, Cheesecake, Tiramisu and Seasonal - Tres Leches, Burnt Almond and Lemon Zenger etc. There will be a cake that you will like! The Burnt Almond Cake we got was moist, rich and incredible! PASTRIES You name it, they have it here. My favorite is the Nutella Croissant and Chocolate Dipped Shortbread cookies. It's so good and freshly baked. Not to mention, reasonably priced. Where can get can a cookie for $1.40 these days? The staffs are super nice. If you're in the Land Park area, give them a try if you haven't. They have a small private parkng lot and next to Marie's Donuts. Kill two birds in one stone. In this case, kill two sugar cravings! read more

Freeport Bakery is my go-to answer for most overrated eatery I've ever been to. I've tried to like this place for years but I've never had anything above garbage quality baked goods here. Dry, flavorless cakes, stale cookies; even their fresh goods are just bland and unremarkable. Everyone reading this review is capable of baking better at home, I guarantee it. I'd go to Estelle or Whole Foods (amazing bakery department) instead. If those aren't options, just stay hungry. read more

The cake was delicious! When your wedding guests are excited to eat the cake, you know it is good! We had a four-tier cake with three flavors. And people just wanted to get another taste to see what the other flavors were all about. I loved that the bakers worked so hard and thoughtfully to make my vision come true. It was all of the details that were perfect. I wanted the differences in the squared and rounded cakes. read more

Went with Freeport for my wedding cake and dessert bar and it was the best decision EVER. Absolute professionalism - from setting up a consultation meeting to communicating all the details and needs to delivery of the baked goods - everything was PERFECT and went so smoothly. It was clear that they do this often and they do it well. Plus all their baked goods were so delicious and yummy and they were also able to match my inspo pic exactly for the wedding cake. I highly recommend them for any event needs and will definitely go back! read more

I have ordered the same cake for the same birthday for 32 years, this year the bakery decided they can't spare any strawberries for anything but Valentine's Day. Well, thanks. I've made you guys a part of my family for 32 years, I know a lot of other people who make this bakery a part of their family too at weddings, funerals, baby showers, birthdays and many other occasions. We have all decided that this bakery is the bakery that's worth it for us, but this year with "the fires and the floods and a shortage of strawberries" they have to keep all berries for Valentine's Day. Well, Thank you Marleen.... A blatant slap in the face to all those who are loyal. The cakes here have been on a steady decline too, and this is really the kicker. After 32 years. I'll be finding a new bakery, if I'm not worth a berry than this place isn't worth a cent to me. read more

I ordered a Tiramisu cake 3 days in advance for my daughter's birthday. It was ready, as promised, and looked beautiful and tasted great.

Come here if you're in need of cookies, cakes, pies, or any kind of dessert. You'll find what you need :) I been here many times for their apple pie and the fruit basket cake and it's just so good and filling! I recommend calling in a day or two ahead if you need a whole cake. You can order and pay on the phone. Super easy. There have been times I walked in and they had a whole cake and pie available but don't take that risk during holidays. Just pre-order on the phone. I think you can also pre-order on their website too. Every now and then I'll order some cookies or pastries when I come in to pick up a cake or pie. Everything is so good and the cakes and pies are always a hit when I bring it to an event. Also, staff here are super friendly and helpful. Easy parking but it can get busy at times, especially holidays so just beware. There's also a few small tables outside if you want to grab a slice of cake or a pastry to enjoy asap. read more

Their pastries are awesome!! I always go there for their morning buns, so yummy and my favorite!! BUT, their costumer service is terrible. My friend and I went in there this morning, and we were not greeted with a "hello", or Good Morning" the three girls behind the counter just stared at us (Gen Z stare) and never asked how can I help you. Typically when you enter a store it's expected to be greeted by staff, but apparently that was too much to ask for at Freeport Bakery. I stepped forward closer to the counter and finally one girl said "I can help you" after about 5 minutes of awkwardly standing there staring at each other. No smile from her, seemed like all the staff working were miserable being there. As I'm deciding what I wanted to order I look over and a kind women was picking up her cake. She was excitedly telling the women it's her anniversary, and the staff member dryly said "oh happy anniversary" with an expression on her face like she could care less and just wanted to retreat to the back of the bakery. No smile from her, she just seemed miserable. That was super off putting witnessing that. I then decided on the quiche, but had a few question about what veggies were in it. The worker gave me a look like I was stupid for asking and answered in a monotone voice "broccoli" but didn't care to elaborate on what other veggies came with it. I decided to get it anyway and hurry to get away from the super uncomfortable and off putting encounter. Super disappointed!! I've been going there for years and years and have never experienced anything like that before. I don't care to go back after that. They need to improve on their customer service. Maybe they were all having a bad day? I understand being in customer service can be draining. Just thought it was strange every single staff member I saw working this morning looked absolutely miserable. read more
