    Coffee drink menu
    Lillian W.

    There aren't alot of dim sum options or Asian bakeries in Folsom. But there is a T&5 Cafe Bakery that fills the void. Yes, they have dim sum, baked pastries, cakes, and milk tea and coffee drinks. The cafe is stinking cute. It has a fun, whimsical princess look interior. Gold, chandeliers, gilded edges. Not gaudy. Customer service is awesome. The cashier was terrific and help me navigate the menu. I heard her explain , to other customers, what the dishes were made out of and help provide recommendations. She even told me that the lotus rice will take 15-20 minutes to prepare so I can decide to still purchase it. I appreciated her giving me that extra bit of info. I didn't mind and still ordered it. I knew it would take a bit longer, it's steamed versus microwaved. The menu is concise and not lengthy like a Tolstoy novel. For dim sum, they have sui mai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, egg custard, soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings... to name a few. But the food does contain MSG which most folks can eat without an issue and is typically in most Chinese food. They also have pre-packaged baked goodies. Cookies, baos, egg custards, cream puffs, croissants, taro buns, pork sung rolls, apple turnovers, donuts... to name a few. Pricing average $3. Similar to a panaderia, the ordering protocol for the packaged pastries is to grab a tray and tongs and self service loading up your tray; then going to the cashier to pay. Keep the tongs on your tray. The items name, ingredients and pricing are clearly marked. I went to town on the pastries since MSG was not an ingredient. My faves were the egg custards (more savory than sweet with a silky custard filling and rich, flaky crust), chocolate croissants, almond croissants. Wait a hot minute ... I have a lot of T5 pastry favorites... too many to count. Plus they sell whole cakes. Gorgeously decorated and light n airy cakes. The cafe has a couple of pub height tables inside and lots of two person tables outside under the awning. The cafe is set back from the street and nearby are gorgeous old growth majestic trees. Nice place to spend a lazy, late weekend morning enjoying a cup of Joe and pastries.

    Walking into this shop was honestly a great first impression. The space is beautiful clean, bright, and everything is displayed so neatly. It actually reminded me of 85 Bakery, but more upscale. They offer dim sum, boba drinks, and a wide variety of pastries, so I was really excited to try a little bit of everything. On top of that, Linda was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, professional, and so attentive that I genuinely thought she might be the owner because of how well she carried herself and treated customers. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to how nice the place looked. We ordered several pastries, and most of them were disappointing. The hotdog bun had way too much bread and barely any hotdog, the coconut cream bread hardly had any cream at all, and everything tasted dry instead of soft and fresh. The shumai was actually really good, but it took about 20 minutes to come out, so this definitely isn't a spot if you're in a rush. I also ordered a matcha latte with oat milk at 50% sweetness, and the picture showed this vibrant green drink that I was excited for. When it came out, the color alone made me nervous. One sip in and it tasted like straight oat milk with sweetener...no matcha flavor at all. I usually finish my boba or specialty drinks, but this one ended up in the trash after a few sips. As much as I wanted to love this place, the quality of the pastries and the matcha just didn't do it for me. The two stars I'm giving are honestly because of Linda and her great customer service. Other than that, I'll probably stick to 85 Bakery.

    November 29, 205 - Folsom, CA. We spent the morning on Sutter Street celebrating my birthday and browsing the shops. My husband really wanted to get me a birthday cake, so he searched on Yelp and found T&5 Cafe Bakery. A short drive later, we walked in--and wow, did they make my day! My husband mentioned it was my birthday, and we immediately got the royal treatment. Granny Kong helped us pick out the perfect cake, and the staff wrote my name on it, added a candle, and even sang Happy Birthday! We enjoyed our delicious fruit basket cake with some tasty teas and coffees in their cute shop, surrounded by displays of their beautiful cakes. It was such a sweet, memorable visit. As a side note--they specialize in all natural..no artificial flavors or preservatives. Highly recommend!

    The best mango lava cake ever!! It's so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this place for cakes! I wasn't a huge fan of the drinks or other pastries but the cakes are the best!

    First off. The interior is nice. Colorful. Vibrant. It definitely feels decorated. The heat insulated bag they give you with the food is super cute. I didn't try the desert. I got a smoothie. Soup dumpling. Hargao and Siu mai. They were pretty average. Nothing really special about them. Being honest I couldn't tell much difference between them and frozen ones.

    truly a wonderful experience. not only is the food delicious, the atmosphere is stunning. the cakes are light and airy and the drinks are fresh with just the right amount of sugar. in addition to that, their customer service is wonderful. such a welcoming environment. hope to see this business continue to flourish.

    This was our second visit. We stopped to get some refreshing drinks after a long drive and it was so worth it. We got one T9 Dirty Tea & T7 Purple Taro Coconut and omg- they are so freakin delicious and fresh! Yes the prices may be a bit up there, but everything is pricey nowadays and this was actually worth it. Our first visit we met the mama who owns it. She helped us pick a fresh strawberry cake for a small birthday get together. She was so sweet. This visit we also had amazing service from a kind staff member. I believe it is a Chinese (Cantonese speaking) family owned business. The bakery also has cute decor and chandeliers all about the place. It is a bit small and seating is a bit limited, but there are more seats outside accompanied by some pretty & real plants.

    This bakery has a wide selection of drinks, bake goods, and cakes. I like to come for their fruit teas as they are made with fresh fruits. I noticed they also have dim sum so I will try that next time I'm here. The cashier Viv was super nice, giving us recommendations on what to try. I am a huge fan of their cakes, especially their molten lava cakes. It may look small but it can serve at least 6 people.

    They made the cake for my elopement/wedding and it was very yummy, fruit inside was so refreshing, cake and frosting were perfectly balanced. They helped my mom decide what was best for travel, size and were very helpful overall. Thank you!! The did miss a letter in my name: Olivia was spelled "olvia" but this was a last second cake --as in 2 days notice. It worked out the letters they did use make my nickname "Liv" and the letter removed were the initials of my fiancé "O &A". Thank you!

    Discovered this place on yelp. Needed a last minute birthday cake. They were able to accommodate with amazing friendliness. Every interaction I had from call to order to pickup was so nice! The strawberry cream sponge cake was also amazing. Subtle.sweetness and tasty flavor. Every cake in the shop and also the one I got looked amazing. They also have tea and dim sum here. Thats for next time.

    Stopped by on way back from Tahoe and found it has excellent dim sum, great pastries, and authentic boba tea as well. The lady serving us was super nice and patient. The sitting area is small but very nice. Definitely plan to stop by going forward.

    One of the pastry displays

    T5 Bakery is a hidden gem. The setup reminded me a lot of Paris Baguette, but with better prices and some great deals (like buy one, get the second at a discount). They had a huge variety--full-sized cakes, cake slices, Japanese cheesecakes, plus both sweet and savory baked goods. They also offer tea, coffee, and actual food, so it's not just desserts. Everything looked really clean, organized, and well stocked, which I always appreciate. The owner was incredibly kind and personable, which made the experience even better. they also accept Apple Pay Highly recommend--definitely worth checking out.

    We stopped by at 6:25 pm and just got in before they closed. They were out of regular boba but still had the mango and lychee popping boba so I was happy. They make a great mango boba. Yum! The owner was trying to sell her remaining pastries but we were just there for the drinks.

The menu also has wonton soup, noodles, soup dumplings, fried spring rolls, crab rangoons, cucumber salad (Asian style), Chinese egg custards, bbq pork buns, sesame red bean paste fried balls,, stir fry veggies, taro steamed buns, and some other items. I've tried the dumplings boiled, steamed, and pan fried. The boiled ones are slippery and best when I'm in the mood to have them swirled in a sauce like hot chili oil. Streamed ones have a slight chew to the dumpling exterior than the boiled or fried dumplings.But doesn't take away from the taste. Pan fried is good when you want a crispier exterior and slight crunch. Whatever way you order 'em... it's all good! The egg custards, sesame balls, and crab rangoons are classic and my other go tos. I enjoy the diversity of the menu. Gotta confess, in Folsom there is not a lot of these good authentic dumpling places. Plus throw in some dim sum items...score! Is it Michelin star, no. It is homemade and comforting, yes! The place is clean, comfortable, and has basic furnishings and decor. There is no music or TV. The owner works most of the shifts.

    First time experiencing the menu outside of Dim Sum. Here are my notes:…read more Special Fried Rice in Claypot - Refreshing fried rice due to the addition of the cilantro. You can taste the umami from the roe and other ingredients that I am not entirely sure are but taste familiar. I enjoyed and loved it. Mapo Tofu - Firm Tofu and good sauce. Although I do enjoy more of a Sichuan-style spicy mapo tofu (with the very numbing taste), I still found this mapo tofu delicious as you can taste the flavor of the pork and sauce coating the tofu. 2 Entree BBQ Platter: Roast Duck and Empress chicken - I'm biased towards roast duck. I love roast duck so any roast duck is good to me. Not a lot of comment on the duck. However, the Empress Chicken is nicely seasoned with the whatever broth they cooked it in. One of the few Empress Chickens where I can enjoy it without the scallion-ginger oil, but the scallion-ginger oil still elevates this Chicken to a higher level. Congee with Pork and Preserved Egg - Comforting and triggers a lot of nostalgic feelings for me. I didn't have to add too much additional soy sauce or chili sauce because the congee has a great base flavor. Preserved egg and pork weren't too chunky, rice was not too "mushy", and the overall congee was in a good thickness to create a nice mouth feel for each bite. Will visit again to try the other dishes.

Drinks aren't rated, as they don't sell house cocktails (though they sell a small selection of beers and wines). All-in-all a solid menu. The dilemma is that we generally felt unwelcome. We came by on a Sunday evening at 6:30 pm (and paid and left by 8:20 pm which is 10 minutes before closing). We were a party of 8 with diverse backgrounds, and with exception to one server (a woman wearing red who was maybe a manager), the staff just weren't friendly toward us. I will say that one woman in red was so kind. She made sure to say "bye" as we left. I will add one of my friends mistakenly tried to take a pair of chopsticks (as they are set on the table in a paper slip). She didn't realize they were store owned/reusable vs throwaway. She quickly apologized, but that became the final straw of awkwardness with the staff. The food was genuinely great with appropriate prices, so I may give it another shot down the road as a date night option.
