Now THATS a chocolate croissant! Huge, tons of lamination, thick-ass bar of chocolate, and chocolate drizzle on top?! I had one, then had to buy another. It's that good. It's a higher price point than other places, sure, but the quality justifies it! Buy these for a client or person you want to impress. Haven't tried the scones yet. But I will the next time I go back. read more

I've been coming to this bakery for yearssss. We love their fruit bakery cake, Princess Cake and have a handful of favorite pastries. I've been to Pastry Heaven the past 3 days in row after trying their Choco Pistachio Roll. Oh my goodness! Its heaven. Go early if you want one because they sell out. This is the type of place you take out of town guest to show him what your town has to offer ! Everything is so super delicious and the workers are very kind. Closed on Sunday and Monday. read more

We wanted to give this one more shot due to the location being so convenient on our morning commute. Paid $10 for a butter horn and a ham and cheese croissant. We get on the road only to find out my daughter was given this burnt butter horn and a chocolate croissant.. what the eff.. I tried I wanted to change my review.. but they truly don't deserve it read more

Pastry Heaven - Butter horn.. why do I do this to myself? Disappointing - Bakeries Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

I've been coming to this bakery since I was in high school. Or, as another reviewer put it, "For more than twenty years." That being said, I feel that it's erroneous to say that "they've been in business at this location for over twenty years," since the owner has changed at least twice in that much time. When I was in high school, the owner was an elderly man named Marcel. Back then, Marcel was a nightly patron at the recently demolished Coco's restaurant, where my mom was a waitress and closing manager. Marcel would bring my mom boxes of pastries, and she would bring them home for my little sister and I to eat. And that is how I fell in love with Pastry Heaven before I even started spending my own money there. I specifically loved the bite sized cakes covered in fondant, which is why, at age sixteen, my mom taught me the correct pronunciation of "petit four." As I stood in line at Pastry Heaven yesterday afternoon, an elderly man in front of me asked, "What is a petite four?" Even though I've worked in restaurants for years, this was the most Americanized pronunciation of "petit four" I'd ever heard. He said it like that at least six times. PETITE FOUR. Obviously, I had to order one and pronounce it correctly in front of him. While he was paying for his pastries, I ordered an apricot croissant, a cherry Danish, and a petit four. "PETITE FOUR" said a loud male voice behind me. (A man loudly/erroneously corrected my pronunciation while I was attempting to inconspicuously/politely correct another man's pronunciation.) I chuckled and quietly said to the clerk (who I think was the current owner), "You can tell who has and hasn't worked in the restaurant industry." He chuckled back. I'm not sure if the mansplainer who "corrected" me even knew that we were laughing at him. To me, the petit fours still taste about exactly the same as when Marcel made them. Many of the other pastries have since taken on a slightly more Latino than French vibe, but, overall, it's still a classic European bakery. Marcel and Ettore used many similar, if not identical, recipes for their cakes, and many of these recipes have been passed down to the current owner. This is why I sometimes describe Pastry Heaven to friends as a "knock-off Ettore's." If you come early in the morning, sometimes you can get a bag of day old pastries for a fraction of their original price. Overall a great bakery for European cakes and pastries, highly recommend, would definitely eat here again. read more

This place is amazing! Everything I've tried has been delicious. The pastries are light and airy without sacrificing size. The chocolate on/in everything is beautifully done. Not gritty or overly sweet and actually has a great chocolate taste! The service is always flawless, they answer my questions and make me feel like I've been going there for years. Absolutely give this place a try, but be quick! Their croissants run out fast! Will be a long time customer or until the trespass me. read more

I've been coming to Pastry Heaven for many years. My absolute favorite is the Pistachio Roll Pastry (Pictured on Review). You also cannot go wrong with any of their cakes. I'm a big fan of the Fruit Basket cake. read more

Called all over town for a bakery that makes passion fruit cake and Pastry Heaven was one of two! I picked PH because they were open for customizing the frosting which was very nice and accommodating. It was easy to order and I paid at pick-up. Cost of the cake was only $45 for a 8". Great deal! Day of pick-up I was excited to see the cake and upon walking in to the bakery, looked forward to trying some other pastries. Very pricey pastries but the taste wasn't worth it. The cake was just white frosting - no frills. Good thing I ordered my own decorations. The passion fruit flavor was mild but noticeable and enjoyable. Would order another cake but will skip on the pastries. read more

I used to give Pastry Heaven my business but $4.75 for ONE SUGAR COOKIE?? They lost me as a customer...

I was introduced to the Swedish Princess back in 1986 at a little European bakery in Fairfield, CA called Rosanna's. Back then, Rosanna and her husband Hans ran the place. (They sold it decades ago.) Anyway, this is not an easy cake to find. But, Pastry Heaven makes it, and they do a nice job. The cake is moist, the custard and cream layers are tasty, and just the right amount of raspberry is wrapped in that delicious marzipan that elevates it to its royal status. I will warn you, it's not cheap! But it's so worth the price you pay. I called to order and set up a pick-up time for the following day. I arrived right on time. The order wasn't quite ready. I waited in the small, clean, barely decorated lobby, or customer area, watching folks walk in one after another and buy one or two small items for breakfast. I have a feeling all their items must be good. It's likely I'll be back; unless I find somewhere closer to home that offers this fantastic selection. read more

My wife and I saw an ad and we never heard of the place, so, we decided to check it out. It was around 1pm and the shelves were almost empty. We got a couple of different cookies, peanut butter, wedding cookie, brownie with walnuts, pastries an almond twist and a cheese danish. Heaven is an understatement. I imagine early is better, while I sat out front and typed this review, they were almost nonstop with customers. Currently hours posted are: Tuesday-Saturday 7:00am-4:00pm and closed Sunday & Monday. I would suggest getting there just before 7:00am. We will be back as a customer, this is a very tasty bakery, a little pricey, but well worth it. R read more

Ordered the chocolate mousse cake for a graduation party. Great presentation, cake was moist, the chocolate mousse was subtle and added a nice texture to the bite. Overall, the cake was delicious; not too chocolaty nor sickly sweet. I will go back to try more pastries. The desserts behind the glass counter looked appealing, especially the apricot croissants, the cream puffs, and the brownies w/ walnuts. read more

Amazing ham & cheese croissant! I wanted to treat myself and what a treat it was. Read my mind & offered to heat it up for me. Had coffee in my car & yum! Lovely assortment of cookies pies cakes & holiday specialties. Tucked in the corner next door to Ace Hardware at Madison & Fair Oaks. Bravo Pastry Heaven! read more

Pastries are amazing! Truly excellent. However, the customer service was awful. The lady behind the counter was unfriendly and impatient. My husband and I go on weekly dates to local bakeries and love our time, but we felt incredibly unwelcome. read more

I used the doordash app to order pastries that appeared on the app under PH. After receiving confirmation they received my payment, within a few minutes, I received a notification that my order was canceled because PH was unable to provide what I ordered. If an item isn't available it shouldn't be on the menu. Although I will be reimbursed, I am very disappointed and will not order from them again. read more

Our neighborhood has a very good bakery the owners pride themselves in quality and their Pastries are always fresh and the cakes are amazing

Loved the almond crossaint! They were fresh out of the oven and the filling was the perfect almond flavor surrounded with a warm buttery flaky crust. We also tried their bear claw, which was delicious as well. I'd love to try their cinnamon rolls as they were sold out by the time we got there at 10am on a Saturday. read more

Oh my my! What a delightful cake we received! The service was outstanding. On the day of, we had a bit of a snafu with our refrigerator and the person who helped us offered to keep the cake there and pick it up before closing instead. I was so impressed by the attention to details when it came to helping us transport the cake safely. We obviously are not professionals but they make it easy for the general public to transport their own cake. We got so many compliments on the flavor. My mom loved every bit of it. We will definitely keep making business at Pastry Heaven! Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

I recently tried an éclair that left much to be desired. The dough was far from fresh, the chocolate was disappointingly hard--almost like it was frozen--and the filling seemed to be nothing more than whipped cream. For $6, I expected something far better. I've had much better éclairs at other places for a fraction of the price. read more

Really great pastries the few times I was able to buy them. However, The eight times I have gone in to purchase more they were out of stock. they have a very limited availability. Usually they are Completely picked over by 8:00 am. Really wish I could purchase again since they were so tasty. Shows that they are very popular but don't make enough to satisfy the demand. read more

Beautiful assortment of pastries well worth time and money. Even the culinary snobs in my family loves their selection.

Took the advice from yelpers and it did NOT disappoint! Needed a cake but didn't want to get a generic cake from the other stores. After checking out other reviews, this was going to be the spot. Service is friendly and helpful. They have tropical cakes, Limon cake and chocolate cakes available. They also have one slice cakes going for $4.50. Cake I got came out to $43 but definitely worth the price Need of a cake? They won't disappoint! read more

Needed a last minute birthday cake so I decided to try Pastry Heaven based on reviews. Small, simple bakery in the corner of a shopping center with plenty of parking. Goods were clearly displayed and lady behind the counter was really nice. Picked up an 8" fruit basket cake which was delicious. Moist, light and not too sweet! It had fresh whipped cream frosting and I believe a vanilla cake layered with pastry cream (?) and fruit. Definitely lived up to the hype. I want to say it was $42. A little pricier than what I have paid for similar cakes in the past, but I think it's worth it for the quality and would purchase again. Also tried the ham&cheese croissant ($3.50) and apricot croissant ($3). I'm usually just "eh" about croissants, but I was pleasantly surprised! Substantial, soft and moist. Not super greasy like some others I have tried and didn't create a huge, flaky mess. Went around 9am and they were already low on some pastries. They open at 7am so maybe they have regulars during the morning rush. Yelp came through on this one. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered a cake for my husband's 50th birthday. Based on yelp reviews, I chose Pastry Heaven. The owner was very nice and accommodating. I had also seen black and white cookies on line and inquired with him based on my description and he knew exactly what I was referring to and gladly made a dozen for the event.

Pastry Heaven is amazing and simply the BEST!!! My family has been a loyal customer of theirs for years. We have tried all the other famous bakeries in Sac and they are hands down the best place for cakes and pastries. So it was easy to decide to have Pastry Heaven make my wedding cake. The owner was so easy to work with and accommodating especially since I was planning the wedding from San Diego. I ordered a 3 tier fruit basket cake to be delivered to Catta Verdera Country Club in Lincoln, CA during covid and everything went so smoothly. The cake was exceptionally beautiful and exactly as the Pinterest picture I had provided them. All my guests were talking about how decadent, light and fluffy, and exceptional the cake was!! My friends from SD were asking for the left overs to take back to home. Everyone still talks about the cake when my wedding comes up. Thank you Pastry Heaven!!! read more

The cake was delicious and turned out beautiful! Very happy with the design and the fruit basket flavor was fantastic. The initial ordering process with David was smooth and prompt and I was happy to put down a required deposit since it was a custom order. A few days prior to pick up day I wasn't getting replies to emails or phone calls returned when trying to confirm that everything was still on track. Finally, the day of, they answered the phone and said the cake would be ready at the time we agreed and it was.
