I found out not too long ago that Marie's is a staple donut shop in the Sacramento area. Decided to…read morefinally give them a try. Limited parking in their parking lot but street parking is available as well. Only take outs. Order at the window. I came on a weekday around 11am and they were sold out except for 4 apple squares. I was bummed as I have a list of donuts I would like to try. I grabbed an apple square. The girl helping me was really sweet and nice. The apple square was really good. Soft, fluffy, had a good emount of apple pieces and sauce. A huge and filling donut. Can't wait to come back next time to try other donuts.

Stopped by around 2am and they were still making a lot of the donuts, so there were limited…read moreoptions. What I tried: Buttermilk bar (10/5) -- tangy, moist, sweet, tender inside and slightly crisp outside. Would come back just for this Blueberry glazed (4/5) -- on the breadier side for a donut, blueberry flavor really comes through and overall is not sweet Interested in trying more, love the late night hours and how staff repeat your order back to you as confirmation.

Baker's Donuts is THE SHIT. I genuinely miss living in Sacramento because we used to get up in the…read moremorning and come here for donuts all the time. The maple bacon donut was always the one. So good that my partner at the time became obsessed with it and actually requested one of Baker's GIANT donuts for her birthday. I swear I have never seen anyone happier to receive a birthday donut in my life. That should tell you everything you need to know about how good these donuts are. It's been a while since I've lived in Sacramento, but Baker's is one of those places I still think about and absolutely have to visit whenever I'm back in town. I'll be in Sacramento again this month, and this is already on my list of stops. Some places are nostalgic because of the memories -- Baker's is nostalgic because the donuts are actually THAT damn good.

I love Bakers Donuts!! It's small, local, and family owned. The women who run this little shop are…read morethe sweetest! It's hard not to walk out with a dozen. I only left with half a dozen (I have some self-control). There are so many flavors to choose from, and they always end up giving me a little lagniappe at the end of my order. It's never expected, but it's such a sweet surprise every time.

Was looking for an ice cream place in the area, something that wasn't a big chain. Happily came…read moreupon Babes, which is in fact part of the Pushkin's family, a local franchise in Sacramento. All of their ice creams are coconut milk based instead and the three I tasted were SO.DAMN.GOOD. My man ordered the salted caramel and it was delicious, but not what I was in the mood for that night. I was on the fence between the blueberry cheesecake and the peach cobbler. I really wanted a scoop of both, but I just wasn't that hungry. I decided on the peach cobbler, and I'm still dreaming about it. The sweet peaches, the essence of cream, and that buttery slightly salty crust. From the street front this place doesn't look like much but when you go in, there are a couple tables and a counter you can eat at and then there is a massive kitchen in the back. The girl at the front explained to me that they ship a lot of their products to other businesses in town. We will definitely return to this business.

I've always seen Elk Grove Donuts' pretty Asian inspired donuts, but never had the opportunity to…read moretry. My friend saw that Elk Grove Donuts released their new young coconut series and wanted us to try it. We came around 11 am on a Saturday and it was pretty busy! We ordered two young coconut sticky rice pandan donuts, one young coconut pandan donut, young coconut matcha, and matcha latte. Everything together cost over $41, which we thought was a little ridiculous for donuts and matcha drinks. We were also shocked how small the young coconut matcha was when it came out. Kinda disappointed on the taste too as it was pretty telling when it wasn't a vibrant green. The matcha latte was just okay. The donuts of course were really pretty, but in reality it wasn't with the price over a normal donut. I think it would have been better if the flavors were incorporated into the donut itself versus it just having the frosting and toppings. Both are very heavy, so be prepared for a nap! It was extremely sweet too and a lot compared to the donut itself. Overall, I don't think I'd come back for their speciality donuts. They are pretty overhyped online, however I would be happy to try their normal donuts.

Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.

There is a fairly large menu of food, drinks, & sweets available. They also serve Gunther's Ice Cream & Freezes. The man working was very pleasant & nice. We ordered 6 mini donuts. It was cute to be able to watch them cruise along the oil river & cook in the window. When he presented them to us, he included 2 extra donuts! They were melt-in-your-mouth light & tender. When we ordered, we asked for chocolate glaze, & we ended up with a light sauce that soaked into the hot donuts. After walking away, I wasn't sure if it was chocolate, but it was tasty & not overly sweet. It reminded me of eating pancakes. It was a good treat & a nice little stop in Old Town!

From the moment you walk in, you get that welcoming, neighborhood feel--the kind of place where the staff remember your usual order and greet you like a regular. That level of service really adds to the community vibe. The doughnuts here are anything but ordinary. They're flavorful, creative, and reasonably priced, with options that go far beyond the basics. Whether you're craving something sweet or leaning toward savory, there's truly something for everyone in the family. And yes--vegan options are available, which makes this spot even more inclusive. One of the underrated perks is their rewards program, which is perfect if you're ordering for large meetings, family gatherings, or just fueling your regular breakfast routine. And if you know, you know--star bread lovers will be very happy here. Overall, this is the kind of place that turns a simple doughnut run into an experience worth repeating. Definitely a gem worth supporting!

The workers have a place to use the bathroom. It's not "out of service". It's "out of service" to certain people. I'm so sick of gas stations, grocery stores and other businesses willing to take our money but won't let us use the bathroom. If your bathroom is actually out of service, then fine. But I have a feeling that you are on J st and you have unhoused people who ask to use the bathroom and it's easier to say it's "out of service" than to say I don't want you to use my bathroom. I was looking forward to coming back, but I'm good.
