Freeport is definitely still bringing fantastic cakes. The service was prompt and professional, and the ordering process online was easy and efficient. I brought the lemon cooler to Land Park to celebrate my mom, and I don't think I've ever seen her that happy over a dessert. She then told my aunt in the Bay Area about the cake, and on our next trip, we brought it to her. All have agreed this is a stellar cake and will be making our way down the menu until we've tried each cake.

Just solid old fashioned excellent bakery. The shop might not look that big but it packs a mighty punch! Known for it's legendary treats, there are always a lot of different options available for immediate consumption. Cake slices, cupcakes, cookies, you name it. The store is a feast for your eyes, and stomach of course! It's also the go to place for custom made cakes. No, they are not cheap, but they are superb in quality compared to some other cakes. Their cakes come in many different sizes and flavors. They are very busy so make sure you order well in advance for custom orders. Recently, my 50th Bday cake was from there. Salted Chocolate Caramel. It was decadent and delicious! I even had leftover slice the next morning with my coffee. We also customed ordered a Fruit Basket Cake for my sister's Bday (which is the same week as my bday). It's her favorite cake flavor and it didn't disappoint. They use butter cream and it is smooth as can be. In my opinion, it is truly the BEST bakery in Sacramento. It will still be here when all of the trendy places come and go.

Let me tell you guys something-…read more I walked in without knowing that this was a gluten free bakery and cafe, and I was apprehensive at first after finding out. Tell me why I was shocked at the quality of the bread and pastries. The gluten free bread I've had in the past was nowhere close to Pushkin's! Does it taste like bread? Yes. Does it have a bread like texture? Basically. Can it replace regular bread? No, but if I had to go gluten free the rest of my life I would be gosh darn happy to have Pushkin's. I got the Hammer Time sandwich, and it had fresh ingredients and was a great balance of sweet, savory, and salty. Who knew fig jam and pesto worked well together! The mudslide cookie definitely had a chew to it. It was very chewy and I could tell it was gluten free, but man did it taste good. The watermelon mint lemonade was refreshing and tangy. I would get less sweet next time. The only miss for me was the matcha latte. Im not sure what kind of matcha they use or the ratio they use. The matcha latte tasted more milky and I couldn't taste the matcha as much. Get the hammer time sandwich, get the summer special watermelon mint lemonade, get the mudslide cookie, and pass on the matcha. I will definitely be back. Staff was friendly, lots of sitting area, very clean, and loved the decor. What a nice surprise on a Sunday afternoon!

However, I paid $20 for the cake (including tip) and was told to get a spoon from the restaurant next door. Unfortunately, that taco place was already closed. I honestly don't understand how a business can sell cheesecake but not provide basic utensils. Are customers expected to eat it with their hands? The dessert was good, but the lack of something as simple as a spoon took away from the overall experience.

The moment you walk in, the retro 1950s diner ambience immediately transports you back to classic Americana dessert culture. They've apparently been serving Sacramento for over 37 years! - Hot Fudge Sundae -- made with Gunther's vanilla & chocolate ice cream, topped with whipped cream, pralines, and a candied cherry; beautifully presented with warm hot fudge drizzled all over - Lemon Raspberry Cake -- moist sponge cake layered with lemon, raspberry, and whipped cream; balanced sweetness with buttercream-coated sides The red booth seating and vintage Americana decor really complete the nostalgic vibe. Service was friendly and quick, and the overall ambience was cozy, retro, and diner-themed. Rick's Dessert Diner definitely feels one-of-a-kind, I'll have to stop by again next time I'm passing through Sacramento.

Just left the diner. Came in with my brother and niece. My niece was at the counter getting the…read moremilkshake she ordered. The person she was interacting with was Noel "the Manager. " He was making small talk with her and he asked her if we were her family. She asked him which one he thought was her "PARENT." He replied that he thought I was her grandmother. I'm 54 years old and have a 30-year-old daughter and my niece is 25. I don't even know how that would be possible. I was right next to them sitting at a table with my brother so of course I heard, and I got up and I said what's up with this grandma stuff, and he said that he answered her question and told her that he thought I was her grandmother. Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.

Cinnamon Rolls- These are also delicious. I love a good cinna roll and I did buy some frozen to try out, but I make them myself so I don't really need those all the time. Buy Frozen- Do not sleep on the frozen goods available at Nugget markets!! They're amazing and wonderful to have all the time from home whenever you want. Customer Service- I messed up (totally my fault) and came to pick up my Hot Plate drop in Folsom on the wrong day. (Like I said, my fault, I just wasn't maying enough attention.) Woke up early, stood in line with my toddler and almost walked away empty handed while I tried to pull up my receipt to see if I read my email wrong. The owner came up, heard what I had done and sent me on my way with a fresh roll anyways and apologized. I tried to send it back, but they wouldn't have it. Stand up hard working crew over there.

They recently popped up at Bodega Market at Cesar Chavez Park, and I made sure to get there early because they usually have a long line. I tried the Honey Whipped and Vanilla Buttercream Rolls, and wow, they were amazing! Definitely some of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. The frosting wasn't overly sweet like it can be at most places, and the cinnamon rolls were so soft and fluffy. I can literally eat the frosting by itself. Kevin, one of the owners, was also very friendly and entertaining. I brought some cinnamon rolls home for my kids, and they gave them 10 stars! I'll definitely be back to try more of their flavors.

I decided to get a total of two SW chips, which were prepared with rich semi-sweet chocolate wafers + topped with Maldon sea salt. The cookie flavor was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The chocolate was also super rich and decadent in every single bite; very addictive. Thankfully, I had a loyalty reward to redeem. I walked out of the cookie shop having spent only spending $5 (including tip). The inside of the store had a contemporary, inviting feel. The staff member who assisted me was affable. I will definitely return to Chip Cookies whenever I'm craving cookies.

I was really looking forward to coming here on my birthday after a friend had these cookies…read moredelivered to me a couple weeks earlier. I'm not even a big sweets person, but I loved them, so I decided to drive to the Fair Oaks location to buy a 4-pack to share with my family. I ordered the Chip Flip 4-pack for $18.50. Since I was giving a couple away, I asked if they could be put in individual boxes. The employee told me no because I wasn't adding toppings. I said that's fine, then can I at least have the regular 4-pack box since that's what the menu advertises? She still said no. Instead, she put each huge cookie in a tiny wax paper sleeve, didn't give me a box, and didn't even offer a bag. She just left them on the counter for us to grab. As we were walking to the car, one slipped out of my daughter's hand. She handed me the other three and was about to go back inside when two more slipped out of my hands because those little sleeves were so slippery. By then we were so annoyed that we didn't even want to go back in and deal with the same employee. We got in the car, and the last cookie fell inside my car. All four cookies were ruined before we even left the parking lot. I called the store on my way home and spoke with Nav. He was much more understanding and even said I should have been given at least a box because carrying four cookies like that didn't make sense. Since I live in Elk Grove and didn't want to spend my birthday driving all the way back to Fair Oaks, he said I could come back another day for replacements. My sister lives much closer, so I asked if she could pick them up for me. Even that became an issue because Nav initially said I needed to be the one to pick them up. Then the employee argued that we only dropped one cookie. No, we lost all four because they weren't packaged properly. The whole thing was completely avoidable. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I just wanted the 4-pack to come in the box that's advertised on the menu, or at the very least a bag. Instead, I spent $18.50 on cookies that were ruined before I even got home. What was supposed to be a nice birthday treat turned into a frustrating experience, and honestly, I won't be coming back.
