Have also tried the haupia cake. It was heavenly. Took my teen son to try the fish and chips and he couldn't stop raving about it. He got an ube cupcake and said it was one of the best desserts he's had. Get some mayo packets for those of us addicted to fry sauce (for the fries) and it would be perfect! read more

Took my dad to get a haircut and pick up some reading glasses which are all next to Shane Co and then my buddy ends up telling me about this place and it has been there for a while. This place serves food from Samoa that are also found in New Zealand and even Australia. The pies were fantastic, loved the flavors and flakey crust. Although I do like the ones in Australia better these were a close 2nd. They also serve Hawaiian style plate lunches which had ample portions! What was lacking in my no so humble opinion are the desserts looked delectable but tasted average. My palate is used to a bit more sweetness and these didn't do it for me. Been here 2x and will for sure return as there are more savory items to try out. Service is friendly with a smile and they really know how to make one feel at home. read more

HOT DAMN This place is good!!!! I was in the area and had to stop in to check out the hype. The hype with this bakery is the meat pies. My experience here in Utah has not been so great with meat pies, but Sagato NAILED IT!!! The crust is flaky, lightly buttered and oh so delicious! Meat pies are exactly that. A meat pie....AND...there's cheese in it! I ordered the steak meat pie and wished I ordered the chicken and mince pies! There's always tomorrow! First bite made me want to look for hot sauce, but the second bite is the one that brought all the flavors together. The "gravy" is really good and the little bite of cheese provides the bit of salt I needed! I also ordered their whipped cream strawberry Nutella donut looking pastry. It looked pretty and that was the only reason I picked it, and I'm glad I did. The cashier recommended it and told me I wouldn't regret it! She was right. It's enough cream, strawberries and Nutella in each bite! And the best part of it was that it's not too sweet! To wash it all down, I ordered their hot chocolate. Although not sweet, which I prefer, I didn't like the bits of chocolate in my drink. It had a nutty texture and taste. You can't help but to see what you're chewing on. I rather just drink hot chocolate and not eat it. Parking lot is limited and there are signs against the shops for reserved parking. read more

I saw this place on Instagram and immediately wanted to try because I really like Hawaiian/Polynesian food. I would say out of all the things I tried, I really enjoyed the meat pie! If I come here again, I'd like to try more of the pies than the pastries. The guava cake and bundt cake were pretty decent! I wasn't a fan of all the cream though. The lunch plate was a little disappointing because the teriyaki sauce was thick and goopy. The beef was also a more fatty cut of meat. Other than that, the rice was honestly cooked to perfection and the Mac salad was great. The interior of the cafe is so cute and honestly Instagram worthy. And the people at the counter were so nice. I would like to try this place again before saying to pass or not. read more

Clean, ample parking, friendly folks behind the counter, delicious savory food options, scrumptious pastries, and desserts for the masses.

UPDATED: I went back and between me and a friend we were able to try most of their savory pastries and they were AMAZING! This is one of my new favorite places! Way to go, guys! Your food is great! INITIAL REVIEW: I tried their tuxedo cake today and it was really good. Next time I want to try their savory pastries. The staff were nice and it was very clean. read more

We had a big order this morning... last time I stopped in was a couple years back the owner ( older gentleman) recommended we come back and try his fish and chips. Boom! Mic drop, samoan slap dance, and a Choohoo!!! Sagato ! You came through , and delivered on the recommendation. Fish and chips -5 plates 4-mushroom steak pies, 4- steak cheese pies, 2- chicken pies, 2- mushroom pies, 2 half moon pies. All so very delicious . Front person super friendly, and even repeated my name she was so cute. you all are an amazing crew we will be back. One last thing - on line order if you have a big order it helps the kitchen prepare your food , and you don't have to wait. read more

I'm from Vegas and I won't lie I'm picky about food. Came into town and my sister who lives near here kept telling me to try Sagatos. She's friends with the owner J just thought she was trying to push her friends spot. I went in and ordered 3 mince 3 steak pies. Got in my car took a bite of the mince pie, put it down and went back in and ordered 6 more! This will be a regular spot on our SLC trips. Service was awesome couple that with good food? You have a winner! If you're on the fence don't be. They're so good you'll have a NZ accent after your first bite! LOL! BFRT it's THAT good! read more

We went here for fish and chips and baked goods one day. It was so fresh with such good flavor. I would highly recommend it. We got one of their meat filled buns and it was so delicious and flavorful read more

Sagato is a place that will never disappoint you. Juicy meat pie, scrumptious desserts, and satisfying meal combos! I have tried all the meat pies but my personal favorite is always the classic Steak & Cheese pie. Flaky crispy crust filled with melty cheesy cheese and "moist" meat. One solid quality pie! For the meal combo, I always like the teriyaki chicken and Kuala pork with macaroni salad. I have tried teriyaki beef but teriyaki chicken is just my favorite. 2 big pieces of tender juicy chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce. But the Kuala pork is always 80% are juicy and 20% are dry. So it is ok for me. I am not usually fan of macaroni salad because my onion pickiness. I do enjoy their macaroni salad because there's no onion for very few green onion. And their sauce is not that heavy. Since their food is always so heavy, I never have the room for dessert. So I only tried their dessert once and it was koko samoa bundt cakes. Succulent chocolate cake with dark rich chocolate filling in the middle. I wish I can describe the whipped cream's taste for you but I was devouring the cake way too fast and I forgot to take my time to taste the whipped cream. Also I am glad that the dessert wasn't overly too sweet. I strongly dislike bakeries are trying to cater utahn extreme sweet tooth. read more

When I first discovered Sagato Bakery, I have wanted to try them. I don't live nor work nearby and then the quarantine started. A few weeks ago I was going to be driving near the area, so I hopped online and placed an order for curbside pickup. We were thrilled that we did. We were joined by my foodie sister so we tried a wide variety of the meat pies and a couple of sweet pastries. The crust of every meat pie was flakey and delicious. On our first round we tried the steak and cheese, mince and cheese, steak and mushroom, and sausage rolls (we would have tried more, but they were already sold out of others). We liked everything we tried and I can't wait to try others! For the pastries we had the pineapple handpie, Koko Samoa bundt cake, and Pani Popo. The Koko Samoa was moist, chocolaty, and satisfying with nothing not to like there. It was the Pani Popo that really got me. Sitting in a luscious bath of coconut cream, we peeled off layer by layer of the moist roll and sighed with each bite. With that they sealed my being hooked. I now have to try the rest of the menu. Can't wait to return. read more

Excellent, tasty pastries! Airy interior with beautiful mural. Get there early before pastries sell out.

The bakery was very clean and cute on the inside. Fast, efficient service. Only one person allowed inside at a time. We got pork buns which tasted really good- the bread reminded me of the inside of a doughy pretzel and I liked the pork's sauce. The only drawback was a lot of the chunks were straight fat which grossed me out. I just picked them out and enjoyed the rest though. The chocolate cake had a good texture... little chunks of cacao in it? And a pleasant coffee flavor. I also loved when I got to the middle and the caramel sauce oozed out. My daughter also loved her strawberry cake! read more

I made a Grubhub order for 2 fish and chips and 2 meatpies. They forgot an order of fish and chips, when I called them... they weren't even apologetic, just offered to refund for the food. I told them the plates were so we could eat together and I would call Grubhub to see if they can reorder the plate to re deliver. Grubhub advised that all they can do is the refund. So I reordered the plate and had to pay for another tip and delivery fee.... Just for me to wait another half an order to say there was something wrong with the order and it had to be cancelled. My mom ate her plate and said that the fish was bland, which is disappointing... We have ordered from them before and it was flavorful and delicious. So disappointed read more

OMG!!!! YO!!!! WHAT WHAT!!! Just a few words to describe the deliciousness that awaits you at Sagato Bakery. Recently moved to utah I was hungry but, wanted to try something different. I use Yelp a lot since I moved as I'm not yet familiar with what's out here. Since it was still "breakfast", I put in bakery and Sagato Bakery popped up. It had a very good rating so I thought why not. From where I live, it's a 15 minute drive but hey it's Saturday and in order to learn your surroundings, one must drive right? This place does NOT disappoint at all! I ordered the steak and mushroom pie; to say sensational is an understatement. It was warm, fresh, flaky, moist; the only regret I had is I did not get a second pie. I also ordered the kekepua'a (pork filled bao bun on steroids it's MASSIVE) and a custard tart. Delightful, flavorful, filling, scrumptious and, did I mention fresh? One can tell the amount of pride, love and tradition that went into the creation of these items that. If you're in the area please stop by and get a few goodies from Sagato Bakery. You will not be disappointed. read more

We stopped here yesterday afternoon for a quick bite in between sightseeing activities. It's in a strip mall and the place itself is nondescript though there is a lovely mural on the wall. We ordered two meat pies (steak & cheese; sausage), a koko samoa, and a strawberry lamington. Sweet treats are better than savory ones. The pies had decent crusts but the steak meat was chewy and the sausage was unappetizing. We loved the flavors on the samoa cake, but it crumbled every time one of us tried to take a forkful and was a bit dry overall. The lamington was a surprise hit: a simple vanilla cake with great consistency and a nice strawberry glaze with coconut. Coffee was dirt out of a pot and service was OK. Kind of bummed that this was our only bakery experience in SLC, but you win some and you lose some. read more

Come hungry leave happy ... their pā falaua (house bread made fresh) tasted just like it did bacc home in American Samoa at Pritchards bakery. Although the bread is much smaller then I remembered lol. Their keke pua'a (in literal terms it means cake pig) or "manapua" as I call it because I grew up in Hawaii tasted delicious.. just like on the islands. They only had one option for the filling tho, I was bummed because I love char siu pork as filling but this one was soy sauce pork (it was still good tho). The meat pies are to die for in a good way!!. My favorite (because the store offers quite a few options for filling) was probably beef and cheese. The crust delectable, like a pie crust flaky warm Satisfying. I had a piece of Peach Custard Pie - filling was awesome but the crust was to my liking it was a little too hard for me. Not a traditional piece of pie it was more like tart shape except thicker. My man had the Koko Samoa cake said it was delicious no complaints. We will def come bacc for more this place does NOT disappoint and holds up to the raves and ratings. Lovely seating area to enjoy your meal and drinks offered as well. read more

Sagato Bakery & Cafe - If you add rice in the choices that would be great. Especially when getting home from a long day @ work and not planning on cooking. - Cafes Near Me - Midvale, Utah

This is probably the best bakery that I've been to in Utah. I love how all of the pastries are Polynesian style. I tried their potatoe pie, steak & cheese, and the strawberry Nutella cream puff. All were very good! My favorite is probably the steak & cheese pie. The savory pies all had a crispy flakey crust that I love. The cream puff was yummy without being overly sweet. I thought thought that service was really good as well! Everyone was really nice and there was always someone at the front counter, which I find worth pointing out because at most places the staff would just go to the back room. Lots of seating and it's clean! There's no WiFi here so you probably can't do any studying if you need the internet. Aside from that I would definitely come here again and would recommend trying. read more

I love Polynesian food so much that when I heard of Sagato Bakery & Cafe I knew I had give it a try. I was specifically excited about the savory pies and rolls. I got there right around opening time and there happened to be a little rush. They hadn't placed the savory items in the case yet, but all of them were made and ready to go. They had the labels in the case so I was able to use those to pick what I wanted. I ordered the Chicken Curry, Minced Meat, Steak & Cheese (I actually ordered the Steak & Mushroom one but ended up with this one), and a Sausage Roll. Firstly, I want to mention that the customer service was great. They were super helpful in helping me decide which pies to get. And they warmed up my pies before I left. I actually really enjoyed all the pies I got! The Steak & Cheese pie was maybe my least favorite, but I still inhaled it. The Chicken Curry was probably my favorite, and tied for second place are the Minced Meat and Sausage Roll. The pastry outside was crisp, buttery, and flakey. Given the savory, hearty fillings I liked that the pastry was sturdy but still light and fairly thin. All the fillings were rich in flavor and completely craveable. The pastries were filling and the perfect comforting snack, or meal. The pastries were roughly $5-$6, I thought the price matched the quality and that it was completely worth it. I will definitely be going back for more! read more

I mean by the time a place has over 100 reviews in SLC and has over a 4 star rating, I feel like my review is just a meaningless drop in the bucket. But. Here goes! Meat pies- absolutely delish YUMYUM! The space has a bit of a cafe feel with a couch to chill on, there were folks there having meetings and other folks catching up with friends, still other folks getting their goods to go. I couldn't help it- added on some sweet treats- I wasn't a fan of the fruit tart (filling was more pudding/marshmallow fluff than custard) but my husband sure was. Had my first lamington, and that was a rich delicious sugarbomb in my mouth! read more

I had to get my Sagato fix before heading home. Steak & cheese, mince & cheese meat pies. Unfortunately, the filling was on the salty side but the flaky crust good as ever. The chocolate lamington was fire! Imho, better than back home in NZ! Haven't tasted the koko samoa cake or strawberry lamington yet but I'm sure it's bomb! read more

This place is a dream. Beautiful, clean space with a mix of Samoan pastries, New Zealand cakes and a bunch of things I'd never seen before. The curry chicken pie is absolutely delicious, and I could eat about 6 of those Lamingtons in a single setting. A+. read more

Wow is this place delicious! Dropped in after dinner to see the goods. I ended up getting a steak meat pie thing and cheese cake. I've never been one to seek meat pies, but this one was delicious! Sadly, I burnt it to a crisp reheating it the next day. The parts that I didn't burn were pretty delicious! It was super savory with a nice crisp shell. The cheesecake... It's amazing! I think it might be one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet or dense, it had just the right texture. The flavor was amazing. I will definitely be back to try some of the other items. read more

I've come here a few times now for a couple meat pies or pastries. This last time I got the 3-meat plate, with green salad instead of macaroni salad or rice, and WOW do they give you a great portion of meat! It was so good. The Kalua pork is the best, the chicken is so perfect, the beef is a little sweet but yummy. I also tried one of the pork buns (Kekepua'a this time), which was good. I've liked every single meat pie I've had there, which is, you know, like every flavor. I love the curry chicken pie, and the steak and mushroom/cheese pies are super good too. My favorite pastry there is the Lamington, followed closely by the Koko Samoa Bundt Cake. The Fruit Tart and Custard Tart are pretty good too, but now that I've tried them, I'm gonna stick with my favorite 2 :p I used to go in the morning when I visited the chiropractor at 9am. I was sad when the opening hours moved back to 10am, but it's ok, it's probably better for my diet. (Or, I go to the chiropractor later in the morning!). The cafe itself is cute. I've never eaten there, just done take-out, but I like the atmosphere as I'm waiting for my food :) read more

Such amazing pastries, cookies, meat pies, and fish and chips! I haven't had anything I didn't like! Such a great family atmosphere! We had family come from out of town just for the meat pies and with the lovely SLC traffic barely made it before closing. They were so kind and we got the food and goodies just before closing! We highly recommend this place it won't disappoint! We will be repeat customers for life! read more

I wish they weren't so far away from me, BUT the drive is worth it! If you had to eat a bite, please order the following: The Desserts: Strawberry Nutella Cream Puffs It tastes amazing as it sounds! The perfect ratio of fruit to chocolate to cream. What makes the entire thing is the delicious pillowy dough baked just right, maybe just a tad underdone, but not so offensive I didn't just eat it all up and lick my fingers. Lamingtons Delicious, in fact the flavor explosion of that butter cake flavor accompanied by the coconut and surprise of cherry are all just a harmony of flavors that work deliciously. It's decadent, it's moist, and it's heavy. Everything is delicious from when you look at it, the first bite, but the after math is a little surprising. There was a coat of oil in my mouth that I wasn't expecting. I couldn't help but think, there's a lot of...well...oil? The Savory: Kekepua'a - it's a steamed bun stuffed with savory meat. It's heart-warming, the flavor profile is on point, it reminds me of home (we have a similar dish in the Philippines) but the bun was a little bit dry. The overall experience was fair, but very comparable to what I get in Asian markets. They're not bad, I'll probably go back if I'm craving a taste from home, so if you're making the drive, order something you typically wouldn't eat and it'll be worth your time. My suggestion to the establishment? Focus on a few baked goods and execute them very well, I feel like they've spread themselves thin by cooking SO many baked goods all done mediocrely, SO many savory options including platters. The identity gets confused sometimes, but I get it. The island culture is friendly and aims to please. Just edit the menu, and they've got a hit! read more

I stopped here around noon last Saturday, one day after their grand opening. It was packed! There was a long line, and I waited about 20 minutes to order. As they had just opened, though, I was not too perturbed, and it warmed my heart to see such a sweet community gathering in support. The bakery case was mostly empty, but every few minutes someone would exit the kitchen bearing a tray of sweets - they simply could not keep up with the demand! This is okay as I likely would have ordered one of everything, but instead was forced to select just three baked goodies: Chocolate cookie: Rich and brownie-esque, but not amazing Guava Cake: Extremely moist, with a tartness that I appreciated, though I am coming to terms with the fact that guava cake may not be my thing. Lamington: Filled with that weird fake whipped cream that was a popular topping on cakes of my youth, the cake itself was moist, the chocolate coating delicious, and I loved the coconut. I would definitely get this again, and simply remove the filling. Beyond the treats (oh and note, along with the sugary baked items they also sell meat pies and sausage rolls, they'd just had an equipment failure so none were available) they have actual meals billed as New Zealand style. I have previously only tried the very similar Hawaiian variety, and while Sagato's consisted of the same components (meat, rice, and mac salad) it was far superior to my other experiences. I ordered the two meat plate with Teri Beef and Kalua Pig (there is also a Teri Chicken option). Both meats were moist and tender, the beef with a sweet flavor that reminded me of jerky, and the pork mild, but delicious, and not too salty. The rice was cooked perfectly, and either seasoned well, or simply soaked up enough of the sauce from the meats to be tasty on its own. I am not a fan of mac salad, but theirs wasn't dripping in mayo, so I actually enjoyed a couple bites. Portions are HUGE and that was enough to, along with the baked goods, serve as lunch for both my husband and myself. Prices, especially considering portion size, were great: around $10 for meals, and $2-$4 for treats. Drinks were limited to a few bottled and canned beverages. The space was very clean and attractive enough, with subway tile, and a huge mural along one wall, paired with coordinating paintings on the other. Not only were they inundated with customers and having appliance trouble in the kitchen, the credit card processing system was wonky, only allowing them to type in the numbers instead of swiping. For an established business all these issues would have been frustrating, but considering they've just opened (and openings always seem to be rife with challenges), it instead allowed me to see their cool attitude in the face of difficulty. I cannot imagine the stress all the sweet women taking orders and payment were under, but they handled it like champs, with a cheery disposition and plenty of smiles. I am excited to return and try more of what Sagato offers. read more

Delish! If you're looking for a legit New Zealand meat pie spot, hit this place up! I tried the mince meat and cheese and the mince with crisp mashed potatoes swirled on top. SO good!!

I will be hitting Sagato on on the regular. Check it out! read more

Family ran establishment. I always feel like my business matters to them. Veteran friendly and partially veteran owned as well. The inside is immaculate and beautiful. Due to Covid, there are understandable restrictions on dining inside. Once this virus passes, I recommend grabbing a meat pie or any number of freshly baked goods, and a koko samoa and chill out on the couch and enjoy the island vibe. The chicken curry meat pie is insanely good. The coconut cake is so light, fluffy and coconutty...and not overly sweet like many places tend to produce. The cream puffs are best cream puffs of my life. Oh and their sausage rolls are awesome! read more

I've been looking forward to trying Sagato for a while but I always forget about it as it's in a spot that I really never think about stopping at when I'm out running errands. I finally stopped by and bought a steak and cheese hand pie to go. Let me tell you,... I inhaled that thing! This place is a must try! I was in a big hurry but I also grabbed a to go menu in true Fat Man fashion. I read that menu like it was a comic book, and am stoked to return for one of their sweet dessert thing called a Lamington. They're fish n chips looks good as hell too! Real clean environment, the employees were very courteous, and I believe it's a local family owned and operated place! Don't be a loser go hit this place up! read more
