As someone who enjoys pastries but doesn't have dairy, I'm always worried that the baked goods I eat contain ingredients I can't consume. Luckily, that's not the issue at Pushkin's Bakery as they're dairy, gluten, and wheat free! My best friend and I came in the morning to grab pastries. The bakery is quite small and quaint. Ordering is simple--view the display case and menu, place your order, and pay. The line moves fast since it's takeout only. The workers do a good job juggling the line and are prompt. Looking at the display case, it's like we hit the jackpot! Plenty of classic and specialty cupcakes, scones, cookies, and other baked goods up for grabs. I grabbed two pastries: Orange Cardamom Pound Cake and the Pumpkin Chocolate Coffee Cake. My best friend and got the Toasted Almond Apple Cake. The pound cake was superb--subtle citrus flavor, sweet icing, and a dense yet moist texture. I'd get it again! If you're looking for a family-owned bakery dedicated to being gluten, wheat, and dairy free then make the push to visit Pushkin's Bakery! Their Midtown location is one of two with tasty goodies and free parking in the back lot. I'm grateful my best friend shared this diamond in the rough for vegan and non-vegan customers! read more

I had an appointment nearby and decided to stop by to get a sandwich for lunch plus some other goodies to go. I ordered a turkey bacon sandwich. They said they ran out of bacon. I was ok with it. The sandwich didn't taste great. The bread was very dry and hard. I've been here before and it is not usually this way. I could not eat the bread after a few bites. I just rolled the lettuce up with everything inside and ate the sandwich that way. I was totally disappointed. The baked goods were pretty good. I brought it home after work to share with my husband. He didn't like the banana cake. I usually love banana cake, but not this one. The mudpie cookie was on the hard side. I get this often. It is usually chewing and really good. It's one of my favorites. The blueberry muffin was really good. It was moist and tasty. The zucchini bread and the crinkle cookie were really good also. My husband's favorite was the crinkle cookie. I was really disappointed with the sandwich and with some of the bake goods. I spent over $40 in this place. Some of the items are on the expensive side for a small little item. I don't ever remember this place being like this. read more

My family and I were enjoying a meal at a nearby restaurant, when my sister mentioned that her favorite bakery was just a few doors down from us. I had never actually been inside a Pushkin's Bakery before, because my boyfriend had always placed cake orders online and by phone, then picked up the orders on the way to our designated party. After eating brunch, we were interested in purchasing pastries to take home for later. The interior had a small display case with some freshly baked gluten free muffins, cookies and cupcakes. We eagerly splurged and stocked up on muffins and banana bread. I was able to bring them home and freeze for later enjoyment in the days ahead. As I mentioned before, my sister has to avoid gluten and dairy, or else! So it's reassuring to know that Pushkin's Bakery is available for the dietary restricted, and offers a variety of delicious baked goods that satisfy any sweet tooth without gastrointestinal discomfort later... read more

Came there for cookies and a muffin. They had vegan options and they were good. Got their sandwich and loved it, too. Was really fresh and filling. It took a while to make it, but was worth the wait. They have outside sitting, but was full when we visited. The service was nice and helpful. read more

Amazing!!! I travel for work and I'm always trying to find good gluten free spots. I ordered two sandwiches and some banana bread to bring with me on my flight. All I can say is wow! Both sandwiches were so delicious and I really hope I can make it back to Sacramento sometime just to come back here. It was a beautiful day and there was some seating outside. read more

I love this place! So thankful for a celiac friendly environment. And the very tasty food too!

Pushkin's rocks! Fabulous sandwiches, salads and desserts! I love their buttercream frosting. It is delicious! You really can't go wrong here. Each treat knocks it out of the park! My favorite sandwich is the portobello cruzer! They get an A+ and gold stars! read more

Cute spot, clean, pretty quick lunch grab with really great service!!! For a quick healthy lunch that is gluten free, relatively clean and guilt free (as long as you ignore there amazing gf baked good) I rather spend my money here than the Whole Foods deli counter or hot bar next door. read more

Love this spot great spot for a cuppa coffee some great baked foods always up for more gluten-free of course, but I have to love the people. Make sure to stop by here. read more

The only gluten free pastries I've ever genuinely enjoyed eating even the scones are good!

The service I experienced with Jose, Manager of Pushkin's on 29th Street, in downtown Sacramento, exceeded my expectations. I contacted Jose regarding the lack of inventory of their Vegan Granola, which I wanted to purchase for a friend of mine. I told him my friend lived in the Bay Area and has ALS. Jose explained that Pushkin's was having issues with their supplier, and it could be a month or more before they would have the granola in stores. However, understanding the urgency he asked me for my contact information and told me he would do his best to get the granola for me. Four days later Jose called to let me know he had four bags of the Granola waiting for me at their store. The service I received from Jose was priceless! Thank you, Jose read more

This location is much smaller than their Roseville location. It's just a small bakery case, with a little bit of outdoor seating. I'd recommend the Roseville location over this one if you have the option. I tried the chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll, and no name. The no name was the best of the 3 by a wide margin for me. Delicious bread, great texture, and perfectly sweet. Highly recommend. Chocolate chip cookie could've used a lot more chocolate chips, and a lot more sugar. The texture was also crumbly. Usually a chocolate chip cookie is something I recommend gluten eaters try at gf bakeries because often they taste like the real thing. This one really missed the mark for me, it tasted healthy. The cinnamon roll was ok. Great bread texture but it was really lacking the cinnamon goo that is normally my favorite part of a cinnamon roll. Prices were very reasonable. I liked that a lot of the items were on the small side and on the cheap side compared to other gf bakeries I've been to, so you could try more things. Parking was a little tricky. Lot was crowded and spaces were small. Unfortunately I just can't give my first experience at Pushkins Sacramento a great rating when I'd only recommend or repurchase one of the three items I tried. I've had far better cookies and cinnamon rolls at other gf bakeries. The no name is unique and delicious though. I'd just get several of those if I'm ever in the area again. Update: I originally gave this place 3 stars, but then I had a bite of my bf's brownie that he got, and even though it had been on a 3 hour car ride and then in the fridge for a day, it was excellent. Very dense, chocolatey, and not cakey in the slightest. So, 4 stars overall. Recommend the brownie and the no name. Skip the cookie and the cinnamon roll. read more

Pushkin's Bakery - Chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll, no name - Bakeries Near Me - Sacramento, California

Impressed! This was our first time here and we chose this bakery based on the positive Yelp reviews! We ordered a few pastries to go and most of what we chose were so tasty! I highly recommend the lemon loaf! Not too sweet of a cake generously topped with sweet icing! As well as the mud pie cookie! It tastes like a brownie...but better? It has an ooey gooey cookie in the middle and a crunchy almost meringue exterior. The mixed berry cobbler was also very good with tart berry filling and a buttery crust. I think this would've tasted even better warmed up! This place would have deserved a 5 star review had it not been for that cupcake. We got the cookies and cream one and it was just odd. The taste was off and not very sweet and the icing was too fluffy for cupcake icing with not enough flavor. The cake itself was moist and it overall was presented well but I wouldn't order it again. And based on other reviews maybe I'll refrain from ordering cupcakes here. All in all this bakery deserves a visit if you haven't been!Delicious baked goods in a lovely location near the co-op and temple. With outdoor seating available and friendly service. We have yet to try the sandwiches but look forward to in the near future! read more

Love the vegan options at Pushkin's! Especially the Russian Tea cookies and the large chocolate cookies.

Earlier this morning we were at the military building 8 minutes walk from and to bakery place. We ordered 5 pastries and smoked salmon sandwich paid in cash and stood to side and waited for our sandwich to be done. Mind you the lady in the back handed a brown bag with sandwich inside and didn't ask if the order was ours. I drove to Tracy California and open my bag with the sandwich inside and it wasn't the sandwich we ordered. I called the store and a man picked up the phone I told him what happened but he didn't want to listen nor apologize or even ask it I wanted a refund. Instead he was defensive and wants to talk over me and I was being nice about it. This is our first and last time here. He was so rude on the phone ! He made it seem it was our mistake. This is unacceptable behavior! We spent money there and expected our order to be delivered as is to us not hand us something and don't be specific about it and confirm it was ours or someone else's. Phone call was unprofessional and careless towards us! read more

I Ike to try something different every time I visit. Today I tried their lemon bread which was sooo good!

I've been on a temporary gluten-free dairy-free diet which is pretty challenging. So I am very thankful for Pushkin's! Such a foodie life saver to fulfil my cravings. I've already been back a few times. Their gluten-free vegan pastries, cakes, and cookies are amazing! Everything I have tried so far tasted great. My absolute favorite is the Crinkle Cookie! I want these Crinkle Cookies even if I'm not on this diet! I'd desribe them as soft brownie-ish cookie deliciousness covered in powdered sweet goodness haha. My next favs were the Banana Walnut Bread and then the Toasted Almond Apple Cake! Everything freshly baked omg so good. Morning Bun was pretty good. Chocolate Chip & Mudpie Cookies were okay. Carrot Cupcake I liked the least, I didn't love the icing. I still ate and enjoyed it all though. It's better than no sweet treats at all. You have to be careful when looking at all the yummy baked goods because you'll want to pick everything! Before you know it the total price can really add up really quickly. Thank you Pushkin's for the little bit of happiness you've provided by making delicious gluten-free and vegan goods. I plan to try out a sandwich next and check out the other Pushkin spots. read more

CRIME AGAINST BREAKFAST! My mother and I went to Pushkin's in Roseville on Roseville Parkway on July 9, 2025 at around 9:00 am. The Dan breakfast sandwich was terrible. The scone was super dry. Did not taste fresh. The "No Name" pastry looked good from the case.....looks can be deceiving. Last time I will ever go there. Very disappointing! Only consolation was the latte was very good. NOTE TO MANAGEMENT: please complete some quality assurance protocols. This experience was truly terrible. You lost a customer. read more

It's very hard to find gluten free bakeries that are good and this one is 100% gluten free bakery and delicious. It is a two hour drive but it's worth it. The customer service is good too, everyone's so nice. read more

I have celiac disease, and while visiting Sacramento I decided to stop by Pushkin's Bakery to pick up sandwiches--actually, two of them. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The staff working this morning were not friendly at all. When I asked questions (which is necessary for someone with dietary restrictions), I received very short answers and felt as though I was inconveniencing them. There was no effort to be helpful or reassuring. While waiting for our sandwiches, I even overheard an employee telling a paying customer that they could wait outside to receive their food, which came across as unwelcoming and dismissive. What concerned me most is that I was not informed that one of the sandwiches contained almond milk, which was different from the standard version. There was no acknowledgment or warning. As someone with celiac disease and food sensitivities, I would have expected at least a quick "just so you know" or an offer to substitute ingredients. That never happened. On top of the service issues, the sandwiches themselves were not good--the bread lacked flavor entirely. Unfortunately, I did end up getting sick after eating there. Overall, this was not a positive experience, and I would not recommend this bakery, especially for those with celiac disease or food allergies who rely on clear communication and knowledgeable staff. read more

Always there for us! For the sweet times, and the savory times. I am gonna typically go for a sando with fig jam or spicy cashew cheese! And if the Meyer lemon cake or oatmeal cream sandwich cookie is available??? All bets are off, please add to cart! Thank youuuu read more

Honestly, this place was just gross. From the food, to how dirty the place was. Shout out to the fly in the pastry window--it was by far the most attentive worker there. read more

Again, this place is fantastic. I actually detoured my road trip a bit just so I could stop here again. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. My favorites were the lemon bar and lemon loaf! read more

Pushkin's Bakery in Midtown is a cute bakery close to the 80-freeway specializing in gluten free and dairy free baked goods. Inside is a quaint room, where you are greeted with a display case of their daily pastries and can catch a glimpse of employees in the backroom busy at work. I really enjoy their Green Turkey and #3 breakfast sando, as they have a good balance of greens, protein, and the gluten-free bread. Today, I ordered the Smoked Salmon, which I feel is their take on the classic cream cheese, salmon, and bagel flavor combination. The sandwich had a little less smoked salmon than I would prefer but tasted refreshing with the cucumbers and greens. If you are visiting for the first time, I would note that there is no seating inside. Outside of the bakery, there are 3 tables with umbrellas for seating. On the weekends during busy hours, plan to take/eat your food to go. Additionally, they do not serve any drinks or coffee at the Midtown location. A classic move is to grab a coffee nearby at Temple Coffee or the Pachamana Coffee in the Co-op to enjoy with your food! When it is busy, expect to wait up to 10-15 minutes. read more

First time trying Mocha (Vegan) cake, frosting was so salty disappointing. No mocha flavor. Not what I expected. Also, got blueberry muffin was too sweet. read more

Mmmm... I've finally discovered Pushkin's. They have gluten-free and vegan offerings on their menu, including baked goods. - Barracuda chocolate cupcake - this was delicious. Frosting is piled on high, but it's light and fluffy. - Zucchini bread - was very spiced compared to any other zucchini bread I've ever had, but in a good way. - chocolate raspberry coffee cake - this one was just ok imo. - Portobello Cruzer sandwich was so good! I can't wait to return to try their other offerings. Parking made easy - I stopped first at the Natural Foods Co-op next door and made this my 2nd stop. read more

Really good options and great prices ! Finally had some baked goods after a while since going gluten free! Fast service and overall great shop! read more

I ordered ahead for my cupcakes & I loved all of them! I appreciate them holding them a little longer than my pick up time! They are the mini cupcakes & they come in a set of 4 each. French Toast, Strawberry, & Pecan. They looked amazing & they are the perfect size! I also tried their mud cookie, super big & also very delicious. Super small bakery but they are the best! They also have sandwiches too, which I will have to come back for & try! The workers are lovely & welcoming from when you come in. They have a small outdoor area where you can come & sit. read more

Cute place. The food is pretty good. I got some sandwiches and some baked sweet treats. The desserts were delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. The sandwiches were ok, however, the avocado in my sandwich was brown and when I opened it up, it looked like it was a purposely rotten avocado in both of the sandwiches we got. Not a great look. Everyone was very kind but probably wouldn't come back. read more

When you make a mistake on someone's sandwich and they paid more for avocado, giving them a sliver of avocado the next time don't make it right. I ordered my sandwich with avocado. You gave me the wrong sandwich + it didn't have avocado on it. I can't come right back. I was on my way to work. After taking a few bites I realize this is not what I ordered, but it's all I have to eat. I called the next day since I ate my/someone else's sandwich and you were already closed, and you offered me some avocado on my next sandwich or a refund for the avocado? NO you gave me the whole wrong sandwich, offer me a sandwich. Yes I ate the sandwich you gave me but I did not order it. It was all I had to eat at 10:00pm I had nothing else to eat. Hopefully the other person that got my sandwich with extra avocado enjoyed it. Hopefully not replacing my sandwich was worth it. I will just go to Trader Joe's for my gluten free stuff for now on. read more

Grab a quick pastry that is gluten free and vegan from our favorite shop! Love the scones and the cupcakes here! I picked up 4 cupcakes for a party last minute and they had a variety of cupcakes available and service was quick! The place is small but works for the location. The outdoor seating is always nice! read more

I called ahead to order half-dozen vegan/gluten-free cupcakes for some of our family members who don't eat traditional desserts. The person on the phone was pleasant and boxed up what I needed so it was ready for me when I came a couple hours later to pick it up. The cupcakes are nicely decorated and cost $5 each. Parking is a little difficult. I parked at the Natural Foods Co-op since I knew I wouldn't be long. The bakery is fairly small and it was a little crowded when I went in. They make sandwiches to order so there isn't much room to wait. Standing room only. read more

We stopped on our way to the airport. 3 people in our group avoid gluten and wheat products for health reasons and we have all tried various places throughout the years. I regret not having tried a sandwich while we were there, they all looked great. We tried 9 different items. My favorites by far were the cinnamon bun and pound cake. Even Mom thought everything was great and asked how they could make products gluten, dairy and soy free. If you get the chance, check this place out. read more

Pushkin's has the most amazing gluten free bread I've ever had and I normally don't like gluten free. I love their vegetarian Bahn mi - my second fave in Sacramento. They offer another veggie sandwich as well and a handful of meat based sammies too. Aside from sandwiches you gotta get something sweet bc they have awesome cookies, cupcakes, and brownies too. You really can't beat their cupcakes though. And I don't even have a problem with gluten used to think baked goods made without flour were missing something until I met Pushkins. This place uses some type of magic bc no matter what I've tried it's always delicious. I actually prefer their baked goods over most bakeries in town bc they don't overload their products with sugar either. Small space with some outdoor tables- perfect for take out or a casual lunch. Def put this little gem on your go to list to satisfy your cupcake craving. read more

A literal lifesaver for gluten-free and vegan eaters. And by lifesaver, I mean pastries and bread and desserts... because sweets are life, right? This tiny shop has such a humble appearance, yet the sweet smells wafting from the front door speak volumes of the amazing treats held inside. I visited right before they opened at 8am on a weekday. After waiting a few minutes on the sidewalk with a couple of other eager customers, the shop was finally opened and we were greeted by nice employees and the smell of butter and sugar in the air. I got two No Names, which were light and airy and slightly sweet, almost like a cinnamon roll turned into a puff and dusted with powdered sugar. I also got two different coffee cakes. One had chocolate on it and the other had fruit and powdered sugar. Their flavors change quite often, so I'd recommend checking online for their updated menu. The prices were very reasonable! We loved the pastries. I'd highly recommend anyone who is gluten free or vegan to check them out! Someone in line was picking up a preordered birthday cake, so I'm going to keep that in mind next time I need a fun GF dessert for an event! read more
