My experience at Pushkin's Bakery was somewhat mixed. As someone with dietary restrictions requiring gluten- and dairy-free options, I was initially excited to discover a bakery that catered to my needs. The concept of offering a variety of gluten- and dairy-free treats, including cupcakes, cookies, and sandwiches, is commendable. However, I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed with the quality of the baked goods. While I appreciate the effort to create gluten- and dairy-free alternatives, I found that many of the cupcakes and cookies I sampled were dry and overly sweet. The texture of the baked goods seemed lacking, and the flavors didn't quite hit the mark. In particular, I found the cupcakes to be a bit disappointing. Despite their visually appealing appearance, the taste and texture left much to be desired. Similarly, the cookies, while offering a decent variety, failed to impress in terms of flavor and moisture. On a positive note, I did enjoy the selection of sandwiches available, which provided a savory alternative to the overly sweet baked goods. The sandwich fillings were flavorful and satisfying, offering a welcome break from the dessert options. Overall, while Pushkin's Bakery offers a commendable range of gluten- and dairy-free options, there is room for improvement in terms of the quality and taste of their baked goods. With some adjustments to recipes and perhaps a focus on achieving better texture and balance of flavors, Pushkin's Bakery could elevate its offerings to truly delight customers seeking allergen-friendly treats. read more

I recently visited Pushkin's Bakery, and I am absolutely thrilled with my experience! The cupcakes here are nothing short of excellent. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly baked treats and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The variety of flavors available is incredible, and each cupcake I've tried has been wonderfully moist, beautifully decorated, and bursting with flavor. Whether you prefer classic options or unique combinations, there's something for everyone here. My personal favorite was the chocolate salted caramel--truly a heavenly indulgence! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you choose the perfect cupcake for any occasion. I can't recommend Pushkin's Bakery enough for anyone who loves a sweet treat. I'll definitely be back for more! Thank you for making my day a little sweeter! read more

Pushkin's is a sweet spot in Sacramento, and I couldn't resist trying their Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin and Cinnamon Bun. Sometimes, dessert for breakfast just feels right! Lemon Poppy Seed was light, tangy, and sweet enough to feel like a treat for breakfast. The staff were nice, and the bakery was clean. Now, as for the Cinnamon Bun... I'm a bit of a cinnamon bun snob, and while this one was good, it didn't quite hit the gooey, sticky mark I usually look for. The flavor was there, but I wanted just a little more of that melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Still, it was a solid choice if you're in the mood for something cinnamon-y. Overall, Pushkin's is a great spot to satisfy your sweet tooth, even if you're picky like me. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu--because who says you can't have dessert for breakfast? read more

SO SO SO GOOD. Everything is SO good. I want to move to Sacramento so I can come here (and the restaurant) every day. I will haunt this place. After I went once I go every time I'm in town. The treats have incredible texture, they've somehow gotten the gluten texture! Especially the mud pie cookie, that thing is friggin amazing. It's like a cookie and a brownie created a delicious GF pancake. The "awesome" is pretty freaking awesome too (lemon poppy seed muffin). Everything I've tried has been very light and fluffy, with exactly the texture I would expect out of that item if it had gluten. read more

well YUM is the best word I can describe. Have passed by this bakery many times on way to work, and I finally stopped in this morning. Pumpkin bread, one of my fav things in the fall, and this was simply delicious. Wonderful moist texture, fantastic pumpkin flavor, and plenty of spice to make the bread come to life. Prices a bit high, but know from baking gluten/dairy free, the ingredients are more expensive. They were frosting some lucisous cupcakes, and I'll be sure to stop back by to try those too! read more

I heard about this place through some co workers, and I finally decided to check it out. This place has that rare vibe of a family team. They are very friendly, and they sure make you feel at home. My co worker loves getting their treats here as they have a lot of options for the vegan sweet tooth. Had the walnut cookie, and it was REALLY good. will be checking out other goodies next time! read more

If this spot ever left Sacramento, I'd blame the city and dip too. I've had just about everything on the menu over the years. Favorites are: salted pecan and the confetti cupcake, crinkle cookie if ever craving chocolate, oatmeal cream pie cookie, banh mi and the peppy sandwich if for lunch, and, in no particular order, all of the breakfast sandwiches. Will keep coming back! read more

I saw the below review about "accidentally entering a gluten free place" their review is ridiculous and lacks common sense. Instead of leaving a bad review for a place that didn't match your taste, you should have just been smarter and walked out. This place is amazing and the pastries are delicious. Don't listen to dull individuals who lack the brain capacity to think. read more

We stayed in CA 5 days, but we didn't find the Bakery until our last two days in CA. That's probably good, otherwise we would have gained lots of pounds. The red velvet and vanilla cupcakes were very good and so were the macaroons. The lemon bars were out of this world, they were magnificent. The prices were reasonable. The quality was so good. read more

i never knew Gluten-Free could taste this AMAZINGGGG!!!! Great Atmosphere, Delicious Baked Goods, and a Great Location! Every time I'm in midtown, I have to stop by and get one of these delicious gluten-free treats. Even though I eat gluten on a daily basis, this place is too delicious to resist! A must try!! read more

Tasty gluten free pastries including some vegan options. There is parking directly in front of the shop or you have the choice of using the new parking garage behind temple tea. It's 3 stars because it's such a small shop that it's awkward to stand in with a group of people bumping shoulders. read more

I have been to Pushkin's Bakery on numerous occasions, and they never fail to please! Danny and Olga are always a pleasure to talk to, and every item I try is wonderfully made. I will be a long-time customer of the bakery and hope to continue to watch it grow! Good luck!!! read more

We are a Gluten free family & have LOVED this place for years. We will no longer be supporting them after learning that they aren't allowing special needs children inside without a mask. The discrimination against the special needs/mentally Ill community is sickening. read more

This place is so amazing and helped my family keep some normalcy since my son's diagnosis of celiac! I serve these baked goods to company and they know what ingredients were replaced. Ps pick up around breakfast or lunch and grab a sandwich because they are the best! read more

Love this place. The people here are great and have wonderful food. I have a friend who is highly allergic to gluten and it is so hard to find good pastries that are so moist and wonderful. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a healthy yummy treat read more

Pushkins is really good! Their sandwiches are good, the "adult grilled cheese" sandwich is my favorite. Their lemon scone, and lemon bar is good. Great place. Friendly and courteous customer service, plus they have a great little seating area outside. read more

I'm thankful for a gluten free bakery that has vegan options. I've tried their cupcakes and their zucchini bread. There is a weird aftertaste, but that's normal considering it's gluten free. The texture is great! read more
