As soon as I learned about New World Bakery Fortune Cookies I knew I had to try them. This is definitely a hole in the wall gem. The store is pretty tiny but you're able to pick up bags of fortune cookies for $3 and mess up cookies for $2 as well as giant cookies for $6. It's clear consumers like me are a tiny part of their business, but they were super friendly and I picked up ten bags of cookies. Make sure you have cash when you stop by and get ready to enjoy tasty, local fortune cookies. read more

All the best fortune cookies served with your checks from the local Chinese restaurants come from New World Bakery. Fortune cookie is the only thing they make and sell here at this tiny store. Specializing in Fortune cookies for many years since I was a kid, this is my only go-to place for it. Other brands I have seen has an orange-ish color with an off vanilla flavor, but this one here is the real deal. They offer super affordable options: broken cookies are $2 per bag, normal ones at $3, and individually wrapped ones for $2.50. No frills here, just high quality product for a low price. There is usually just one guy working the back and the front of this store, so be ready with your cash, he is a busy man. read more

This was my first time visiting this little hidden fortune gem and been waiting ever since COVID hit us. My bro had given us a bag of reject cookies a couple of years ago but I've never been able to catch a good time to come and when we did, they were already closed. This place is a true hole in the wall factory and I'm sure many have walked by never knowing this boarded up fortune cookie factory is there. A one pound bag of cookies is just $3 but the real deal is the one pound bag of rejects for only $2!!! Next I'll have to see if the San Francisco Chinatown fortune cookie is still open to the public. Try it....you'll like it! Gung Hay Fat Choy! read more

With the exhilarating year of 2020 nearing a close, I had hope for the future and a strange craving for fortune cookies. I'm glad I decided to try this rather hidden local bakery while driving by the historic district. After parking and taking a little walk through some of R street, I headed over to the corner of Quill Alley and 10th. The location is also a short walk from Roosevelt Park then. Staff inside was friendly yet seemed a bit busy arranging packages when I came in. There was just a small column shelf and some boxes with fortune and flat cookies to purchase at great prices. Pay by cash only. I can imagine the bakery mainly brings products to restaurants and grocery stores. The fortune cookies are fresh and pretty good with a nice crunch and flavor for this type of cookie. I appreciate the overall natural taste, despite the listed imitation vanilla ingredient. Flat cookies look great too and would be easy to snack on. While not all of the fortunes are actually fortunes, the words seem to mean well. Positively matching with my outlook towards the new year and forward, the first cookie I opened read, "Don't give up, the beginning is always the hardest." read more

At the direction of a friend, I went here to pick up several packs of fortune cookies for them. But I got a few for myself, too, and I was really happy I did. These super-fresh fortune cookies surpassed anything I had ever had before, even the Panda Express ones, which I used to think were pretty good. I am sure you'll be glad to know that these fortune cookies buck the trend of offering pithy, deep advice and instead contain actual fortunes. None of those deep thoughts that other fortune cookies tend to contain nowadays like, "Most of the sky is beneath your feet," or, "If a fly can't fly, is it called a walk?" No, these are *actual fortunes* in the traditional sense. (Based on the, like, twenty cookies I've eaten so far, anyways.) Pro tip: store these in your fridge unless you're going to eat the full bag of them right away. read more

New World Bakery is such a random little gem in Sacramento. I've been eating fortune cookies from here for years! My mom used to get them and bring them home for me and my sister and we loved them. When I'm just getting some fortune cookies to nom on as a snack or to bring back for my boyfriend, we tend to get the "mess-up" or irregularly shaped cookies because they still taste great and we don't really care about what they look like. For Chinese New Year parties or little get-togethers, I'll "slurge" (lol $2.50 for a bag is still an amazing deal) to get the regular fortune cookies. They even have GIANT fortune cookies that you can buy as a centerpiece or display item for an event. Disclaimer though: they're really thick and not kind to your teeth; still edible and delicious, but super sturdy and probably best to use it just for show. It's definitely a no-frills kind of place, and they only sell fortune cookies here, but that's all I what and it's what I get. Great prices for great cookies! read more

Wow here's another place I didn't know existed!! I was so happy to find this on Yelp and decided even though fortune cookies aren't really Chinese I wanted to get some for Chinese New Year. I was lucky to get a parking spot right out front and walked in and the machines were cranking out fortune cookies and smelled fabulous!!! They had a rack to the left with cookie rounds, bags of fortune cookies as well as the big fortune cookie on a tray. The man was very nice and bagged up my choices and we wished each other Happy New Year. If you want to see how these cookies are made you can do it right here in town without driving to SF. The cookies are so fresh and crispy I had to crack open the bag and get one right away. I cannot believe this gem has eluded me for so long! read more

These cookies are very delicious. Not too sweet, just the right amount of crunchy. Highly recommend. I came here on CNY, but they had closed early (before 12 am or not open at all?). So I decided to make my own fortune cookies! Doesn't take much ingredients, but omg it takes forever to make a dozen. Since folding them must be done quickly, you cannot bake more than 2-3 at a time. And then times have to be quick about folding them. They came out alright but I burnt over half my fingers during the process. :( I came back the next day and bought some from New World bakery. The bags they sell here are 2.50 for a lb of perfect fortune cookies and 1.50 for the bag of rejects. 1000000% worth it compared to failing at making homemade fortune cookies. And they also sell a MASSIVE fortune cookie for 6-7 bucks. It fits into a cake box. Would seem like a cute treat to reward your kids when they did something good. read more

Love there cookies. They are fresh and a great price. The store was next door to a noodle shop. Now there is a record store next door. This place is located half a block from the park and is walking distance from most state buildings. The hours are short, but they are posted so you won't miss out. You have two choices of cookies, perfect ones with fortunes and the flat ones that didn't make the bend. Both taste equally as good. The real difference is the price. They also sell some giant cookies. I've never had one, but they look just like the normal size and are all wrapped up for gift giving. read more

I jammed downtown to make it here before they closed at 2pm. I found tight parking right in front, so I made it happen. The door was wide open at 1:50pm, so we walked in and were happily greeted by a couple of staff. I quickly scanned the shelves and got exactly what I came in for: the giant fortune cookie, packaged in a clear plastic cake container, with 4 regular fortune cookies and some colorful ribbon ($8) and a bag of fortune cookies ($2). Paid cash and was out in 30 seconds. I brought it to a birthday party that I was told were serving Chinese food. They changed the menu last minute to Italian. LOL The fortune cookies were a hit anyways, especially the giant pseudo birthday cake fortune cookie! The cookies were fresh, crispy, and yummy tasting. Fortunes were all unique and some even inspiring! This is THE place for all of your fortune cookie needs! read more

I have been buying my fortune cookies here for many, many years. I used to work down the street from New World Bakery and being a student at the time, I was constantly moving my car so I wasn't ticketed (damn you downtown!) Anyway, it worked out because if I didn't move my car, I would have never smelled the cookies being baked every morning and I would have never stumbled upon this hidden gem. It's pretty neat when you walk in because one, you get to see how the cookies are made and two; you see that they also sell for real cheap! I always get the rejects (fortune cookies that didn't shape) because it's super inexpensive (I think $1.25/bag) and it's super yummy! The owners are always so nice and sweet. Check this place out when you're in the area. It's hidden so look for the door with the screen! :) read more

Had no idea this place existed. Thank goodness for Yelp! Just down a bit from the Fox & Goose, this little fortune cookie factory smelled heavenly. I bought a bag of the "T.V. Cookies" -- the reject fortune cookies -- for $1.25. I suppose they are called T.V. Cookies 'cause the idea is to just munch them mindlessly while watching the telly. However, they should also call them "driving cookies" as I munched away at them while driving through traffic. On another note, "T.V. Cookies" could also mean "totally vegan". There are no eggs in them or animal fat. But it probably doesn't mean that. Not as dark as the infamous fortune cookie factory in that alley in SF Chinatown, this place is clean, friendly and helpful. They have a mega fortune cookie for $6.00. Outrageous. It would work well if you were a giant or something. For a broccoli and beef dish, you could use real trees too as broccoli kind of looks like miniature trees... read more

I first tried this place 4 years ago and got their bag of "flop" fortune cookies. Flops taste just the same as a regular fortune cookie, but without the work! Mmmmmmm does it smell good in there. This is a mom and pop fortune cookie store and it's the best kept secret! I agree with another review that when it is a hot day, they close early since the machines in there make the factory extra hot. You wouldn't even know this place is there except for the yummy smell of FORTUNE COOKIES...who knew it could smell so good?!?! Anyway, I urge you all to try their personalized fortune cookies to hand out at your next event. They come in one big bag or pay a little extra per cookie to have them individually wrapped. They can print a customized message for you on the front and back and in basic colors. It's very awesome. I have used them twice for birthday parties and they are a hit! They'd be great for baby showers or wedding showers too. They also have a big $7.00 personalized fortune cookie you can order too. I have yet to get one. One of the guys who works there, Kenton, is super nice and friendly. He will go out of his way to make sure your order is right. He's been there since I've been going there and helped me the second time too. Cool beans. :) read more

This cake is one to please many! We're still eating the leftovers 7 days later. As long as it's in an airtight container it'll taste just as amazing as the first day.

Ummm... I have mixed feelings about this place…read more Let's start with the positives because there are plenty. The cakes, pastries, and beverages were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. In fact, the cakes impressed me so much that I can honestly see myself ordering future birthday and celebration cakes from here. The ordering process was smooth, and the décor is gorgeous, making it a really inviting place to spend some time. I enjoyed the bakery so much that I came back a week later to try lunch. Unfortunately, that's where things took a turn. I ordered the burger, and someone in my party had the salmon burger. Both were incredibly bland. It honestly tasted like no salt or seasoning had been added at all. If you prefer very lightly seasoned food, this might be right up your alley, but it just wasn't for me. The iced tea also comes unsweetened, so keep that in mind if you're expecting sweet tea. One small thing that could also be improved is the ordering setup. There are separate lines for the bakery and the kitchen, but when it gets busy it can be a little confusing--especially since you order first and then find a seat. Overall, I'd absolutely return for the pastries, cakes, and drinks. The bakery side is outstanding. As for lunch, though, it left me wanting a lot more flavor.

Large, very clean. All of the employees were friendly. It has a little bit of everything. It has a bakery, sandwiches, soups, stews, other items as well. They even serve an afternoon tea. I decided to go for the chicken and mushroom congee. (rice porridge.). I also got a green onion hotdog roll to take home with me. To drink, I had a green tea with lemon. The congee was amazing. A rich complex flavor. It had a little bit of ginger in it, you could definitely taste the ginger, but it did not overwhelm the rest of the porridge. The chicken was good, and for the mushroom, they used black mushrooms, which have a deeper flavor than regular mushrooms. So very good. It looked like a small bowl, but I couldn't finish it. Some came home with me, and it reheated very well. It also came with Chinese donuts to put in the porridge. Chinese donuts are a little bit different. They definitely taste like a doughnut, except they are not sweet at all. They are savory donuts, and are perfect to use as a crouton, so to speak. The green tea was very good, and they didn't overdo it with the lemon, and that hotdog roll that I had later, the pastry was delicious with just a little bit of a "chew" to it, they were definitely high-quality hot dogs, and it wasn't just green onion. They had something mixed in, I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't taste raw like green onion can. Just a great lunch. I'll be back. Thanks.

Midtown Bakery

We've stopped in a few times now, usually on the weekend while walking through the city. I have…read moreheard Monday's are the day to visit though, because they offer sweet and savory biscuits (though you need to pre-order). It's a small shop and there's usually a line, but they move pretty quickly and it's nice to have time to decide what you're going to order. On my last visit we picked up a couple brownies, a cookie, and one of their savory corn muffins with bacon and jalapeno. All the items are prices well, and are very fresh. I loved the brownies, especially the one with nuts. They're the perfect fudgy texture and while they're a good size, it's hard to stop eating them once you start. I recommend stopping in early for the most variety, they're the type of spot that once they run out of something it's gone for the day, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious.

My boyfriend and I finally had the time to come on a Monday (after the gym lol). We ordered a couple of items to try and I'll tell you I was full after a couple of bites and it carried me for the rest of day. We ordered jalapeño cheddar and classic sausage patty, egg, & cheese biscuit sandwich and biscuit 2 pack: blueberry and brown sugar biscuit. While picking up my boyfriend was recommended the cinnamon roll and he caved and got it! We had our pickup time at 7:30, but we showed up a little early and got our food around 7:20. There was a bit of a wait since there were some people ahead of us, so I'd recommend you going a bit earlier than your time just in case you're in a rush. We headed home to try everything. We really enjoyed the biscuits themselves as they didn't leave a dry or grainy feeling in your mouth. They had a good crust while being airy and light inside. The sandwiches were good, but they were anything crazy. Size wise it is small for the price you get, but I get it. It's all house made and fresh. We definitely think the biscuits themselves are the standout. The blueberry and brown sugar biscuits were a sweet tooth's heaven. The cinnamon roll wasn't too sweet either and had great texture and basically melted in your mouth. I never knew about midtown bakery before midtown biscuits so I would definitely come back to check out their other items, while getting those biscuits!

Paris Baguette

This was my first visit to Paris Baguette, and I'd definitely come back!…read more We ordered two medium iced vanilla lattes along with the hash brown bread with ham and cheese, an almond pain au chocolat, and the very berry pastry. The iced vanilla lattes were really good. The pastries were the highlight. The almond pain au chocolat was perfectly flaky, and the filling was absolutely delicious. The very berry pastry was my favorite. The cream was light, fresh, and had just the right amount of sweetness, and the fruit on top tasted fresh and sweet. The hash brown bread with ham and cheese was very dense and filling, making it a great savory option. I loved the self-serve pastry setup and appreciated how large the bakery selection was. While some items looked a little fresher than others, there was still plenty to choose from, and everything we picked was delicious. The bakery itself was very clean with plenty of comfortable seating, and I noticed they even offer WiFi, making it a nice place to work, catch up with someone, or just enjoy a coffee. It was fairly busy and a little noisy, but there were still plenty of open seats. Parking was also easy thanks to the large parking lot. The only downside was the service. The staff wasn't unfriendly, but they also weren't especially welcoming. I also had trouble hearing the employee calling out completed drinks, so I ended up waiting around 10 minutes. It's possible our coffees were ready sooner, but I didn't want to crowd the pickup area. Our total came to about $30 for two coffees and three pastries, which felt reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, this was a great first experience, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm craving a coffee and pastry.

The selection was very good and offered a great variety of both sweet and savory items…read more My main issue was with the savory items. I asked an employee to toast them, and she said she did. However, when I bit into my croquette and garlic frank, they were still cold inside. Since I had requested them to be toasted, I expected them to be warm all the way through. I called the store afterward to ask what their standard procedure for toasting items is. The employee I spoke with told me that it "just depends on the worker and how they toast it." That response didn't make sense to me. I would expect there to be a consistent standard for preparing food, especially when a customer specifically requests it to be toasted. the attitude I received came across as very much "I don't care,"

Once I entered, I could see why there were so many people trickling in, they had so many drinks I wanted to try! But I went with the banana matcha and vietnamese egg coffee. Both were delicious. I'm not in Sac much but if I were to come by this way more often, this would definitely be a place I'd pop into each time as part of the itinerary. Ambiance isn't anything crazy, its definitely spacious and a cool place to link up with friends or even do some work on your laptop. I would absolutely make my way back, especially to try other drinks!

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

Ella is an upscale restaurant with a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. I felt perfectly at ease wearing shorts and a polo, which speaks to how approachable the space is despite its refined reputation. Although I didn't order an appetizer, the staff surprised me with a complimentary cup of soup. It was delicious--rich, balanced, and a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the meal. For my main dish, I ordered the Crispy Fried Half Chicken with roasted garlic. It arrived with a small bottle of their house‑made hot sauce and was served in generous cuts: two drumsticks, a wing, and a breast (or thigh). The batter was beautifully flaky without falling apart, and the chicken itself was juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked. The crisp coating practically melted before giving way to a light crunch, and the hot sauce added just the right amount of subtle heat. I enjoyed it so much that I found myself wishing for a dim corner where I could privately eat every piece straight off the bone with my hands. The next time you are in Sacramento, please visit Ella Dining Room and Bar.

Wushiland Boba

Wushiland Boba is my new favorite spot for boba in Sac!…read more I found out about it from a recent Feed Mei Mei YouTube video, and of course I had to check it out asap. I looked up the origin and it turns out Wushiland is a spin off from the Taiwanese boba chain 50嵐 (if you speak mandarin, it says Wushi Lan). Located on Sutterville in a tiny strip mall with minimal parking right next to the Freeport area where there are plenty of good eats, some of which are my favorite places in Sac to eat at, Wushiland is in an optimal location. Bright, clean, and with a decent amount of seating, you have the option to order from kiosks or up front at the counter. The AC was blowing cold and a nice respite from the El Niño heat. The workers are friendly and drinks are made quickly. Be advised that the drinks are voluminous, especially if you're like me and ask for less ice. Coming from someone who considers Chicha San Chen their favorite Taiwanese tea chain (but alas we don't have it in Sac), the difference in quantity is huge. Obviously if you're looking for a refined style of tea chain, Wushiland doesn't compare, but still the taste of their teas shine through and there is a good variety for everyone's palate. The first time I tried their earl grey tea because I have been craving an earl grey for a while, and that was deliciously smooth. The mini boba were so fun to chew on, and I usually prefer them over the regular size. They provide a ton of boba here as well. The next time I had their yakult green tea and that was very refreshing indeed. Both times my husband went with fruit teas, and had nice remarks to say about both of his drinks. He also tried their new QQubes and their texture was very QQ (I had a sample). We will most certainly return to Wushiland, especially since it's so accessible. Prices are standard, and honestly for the amount of tea you get, it's very worth.

Wushiland has some pretty good milk tea and fruit tea drinks. You can get brewed teas, yakult teas,…read morebrown sugar drinks, macchiatos and even ice cream drinks, which not a lot of other boba shops have. And you can get an extra shot of tea if you want your drank strong. Prices range from $5.25-$7. I've tried the roasted oolong milk tea and the grapefruit green tea and they've been on point. I usually get them both at 50% sweetness. Another thing they offer here that some other shops don't have are the mini boba balls. My friend ordered the uji matcha latte macchiato with the mini balls, and he wanted another one to-go! The shop is a tad small and cozy(ish) since the seats and tables are close together. The theme is very colors of a bee; black and yellow. There's a long bench with cushions so it's a good place to sip and chill, and people come here to study it seems. Ive been here a few times mainly on a Saturday and all 3x it's been busy. They have 2 kiosks you can order from, or you can order from a human. Wushiland choose a good area of Sac to post up shop because it's the currently the only boba drink shop (for now) near Hollywood Park/Land Park and very close to Sac City College. They're located in the corner of a strip mall type plaza. And parking isn't too bad. Overall, good drinks for a reasonable price and service is decent. They have a fun logo, too. I would definitely come back here to try more of their drinks!
