The chocolate croissant was really good, very fresh and flaky dough, good amount of chocolate. Garlic knot was okay, mild garlic flavor kinda oily overall. Cinnamon bun was pretty good, a classic. Cute local bakery that makes gooood croissants! Hopefully i can try their other baked goods eventually

If you want something fancy and elegant, come to Estelle. I came on a Tuesday afternoon and the…read moresmall parking lot was full. Thankfully there's some side resident parking. Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

Absolutely loved all…read morethe dishes and the fact that they gave us refills for our first appetizer, the tomato bisque, it was wonderful. The tea was delicious and so was the wine. Our server was attentive and so kind. Absolutely loved it and enjoyed the experience. I've been to other high tea places but this is probably my new favorite high tea experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience high tea! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

Large, very clean. All of the employees were friendly. It has a little bit of everything. It has a bakery, sandwiches, soups, stews, other items as well. They even serve an afternoon tea. I decided to go for the chicken and mushroom congee. (rice porridge.). I also got a green onion hotdog roll to take home with me. To drink, I had a green tea with lemon. The congee was amazing. A rich complex flavor. It had a little bit of ginger in it, you could definitely taste the ginger, but it did not overwhelm the rest of the porridge. The chicken was good, and for the mushroom, they used black mushrooms, which have a deeper flavor than regular mushrooms. So very good. It looked like a small bowl, but I couldn't finish it. Some came home with me, and it reheated very well. It also came with Chinese donuts to put in the porridge. Chinese donuts are a little bit different. They definitely taste like a doughnut, except they are not sweet at all. They are savory donuts, and are perfect to use as a crouton, so to speak. The green tea was very good, and they didn't overdo it with the lemon, and that hotdog roll that I had later, the pastry was delicious with just a little bit of a "chew" to it, they were definitely high-quality hot dogs, and it wasn't just green onion. They had something mixed in, I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't taste raw like green onion can. Just a great lunch. I'll be back. Thanks.

My boyfriend and I finally had the time to come on a Monday (after the gym lol). We ordered a couple of items to try and I'll tell you I was full after a couple of bites and it carried me for the rest of day. We ordered jalapeño cheddar and classic sausage patty, egg, & cheese biscuit sandwich and biscuit 2 pack: blueberry and brown sugar biscuit. While picking up my boyfriend was recommended the cinnamon roll and he caved and got it! We had our pickup time at 7:30, but we showed up a little early and got our food around 7:20. There was a bit of a wait since there were some people ahead of us, so I'd recommend you going a bit earlier than your time just in case you're in a rush. We headed home to try everything. We really enjoyed the biscuits themselves as they didn't leave a dry or grainy feeling in your mouth. They had a good crust while being airy and light inside. The sandwiches were good, but they were anything crazy. Size wise it is small for the price you get, but I get it. It's all house made and fresh. We definitely think the biscuits themselves are the standout. The blueberry and brown sugar biscuits were a sweet tooth's heaven. The cinnamon roll wasn't too sweet either and had great texture and basically melted in your mouth. I never knew about midtown bakery before midtown biscuits so I would definitely come back to check out their other items, while getting those biscuits!

We've stopped in a few times now, usually on the weekend while walking through the city. I have…read moreheard Monday's are the day to visit though, because they offer sweet and savory biscuits (though you need to pre-order). It's a small shop and there's usually a line, but they move pretty quickly and it's nice to have time to decide what you're going to order. On my last visit we picked up a couple brownies, a cookie, and one of their savory corn muffins with bacon and jalapeno. All the items are prices well, and are very fresh. I loved the brownies, especially the one with nuts. They're the perfect fudgy texture and while they're a good size, it's hard to stop eating them once you start. I recommend stopping in early for the most variety, they're the type of spot that once they run out of something it's gone for the day, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious.

I stopped at Pushkin's Bakery with a friend one morning and went straight for the Mud Pie Cookie. Rich, decadent, intensely chocolatey, and somehow gone much too quickly. I probably should have ordered two. I also tried the Russian Tea Cookie, which is vegan and every bit as delicious. Buttery, crumbly, covered in powdered sugar, and simply divine. Everything at Pushkin's is gluten-free, but that's almost beside the point. These are just really good baked goods, period. The display case is dangerously tempting, the service was quick and friendly, and I loved the refreshingly no-fuss atmosphere. Come in, choose your carb, be happy. Next time, I'm branching out from dessert-for-breakfast territory and trying one of their sandwiches. Although realistically, I'll probably still leave with a cookie.

I've been here a few times and love their pastries, my favorites are the mud pie cookie and oatmeal cream pie cookie-thingy.

Still, the staff is always nice and patient, and I'll definitely keep coming back for the treats!

It's huge. I dug in an had to take a huge bite - no fork and knife action. I wanted all the flavors for a perfect experience. The special sauce seemed like some kind of aioli. And the tomato jam delicious! The milk bread was amazing and the top was kinda toasty. I tried the Peachy Plum Shrub drink which is "housemade peach and plum syrup with an apple cider vinegar mixed" together. If you like that vinegar flavor - it kinda reminds me of a kombucha- it was delicious! If you don't like that flavor don't order it. We got a couple hashbrowns but TBH they reminded me of well fried Trader Joe's hashbrowns - really nothing special But still yummy. We asked for hot sauce - got a couple Cholula packets. We had already gone to a coffee place before coming here so we didn't get coffee but plenty of other people around us did. Enjoy the inside seating or the patio. And if you eat too much like I did... walk around soak Park or go spend some money at Strapping next door. (BTW - I hate ordering at a kiosk... they do that here but you can also order with the amazing human at the counter. He also looked up ingredients for us in consideration of an allergy.) They have full size pizzas on Thursdays. Can't wait to try more here.
