    Dole whip frost em with tajin drizzle
    Bob D.

    I LOVE this bakery! Everything in it is gluten free as well as vegan. This isn't your sad gluten-free bakery with super limited options. She's constantly changing up her menu and you can always find something new and delicious. I highly recommend the Dole whip frosted cookies. They are some of my favorites. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything you get there.

    Just a small sample of what I routinely purchase.

    A Rare Gem for Those with Food Allergies, Intolerances, or Simply a Desire for Thoughtful Treats Unless you've personally faced food allergies or intolerances, it's hard to understand the daily struggle of finding something as simple as a baked treat that's both safe and delicious. That's why The Caring Kitchen is such a gift. Even if you can't relate firsthand, I believe we can all choose to be empathetic--and this bakery absolutely does. While I don't have Celiac disease myself, my father did. He loved baked goods but had to avoid them to prevent severe symptoms. I have a gluten intolerance, and I experience inflammatory responses when I consume gluten-based foods. On top of that, I've dealt with a digestive disorder since 1996 that limits my ability to process most animal products (except egg whites and some fish), and I can't tolerate high-fiber or starchy foods like apples, bananas, tortillas, legumes, or even watermelon. In 2020, after years of carefully resetting my gut health, I transitioned to a balanced carb-to-protein lifestyle. The results were life-changing: 40+ pounds lost, a major drop in cholesterol and triglycerides (from heart-attack-risk to healthy), and no more pain in my knees or joints. Enter The Caring Kitchen. This bakery understands--they don't just offer gluten-free and vegan options; they also cater to the top 9 food allergens, and do it with compassion and care. I've never experienced inflammation or digestive issues from their products. That's huge. Now, for the folks who critique the sugar content: Let's be honest--sweet treats aren't required in any diet. But accessible, allergen-conscious, less-inflammatory treats absolutely have a place in a balanced lifestyle. I visit once a month, stock up on cookies, cupcakes, and bars, cut them into small servings, freeze them, and enjoy them mindfully throughout the month. They freeze and thaw beautifully. I get the flavor, the satisfaction, and none of the regret. To the team at The Caring Kitchen: Thank you. Thank you for caring about your customers. Thank you for tirelessly researching, experimenting, and creating with people like me in mind. Your efforts may go unrecognized by some--but for many of us, they are life-changing. Your bakery is a true gem. One that brightens lives, one thoughtful bite at a time.

    The most delicious treats you ever had the pleasure of having!

    This bakery is amazing! All of the treats are delicious and they have to added benefit of being gluten free and allergy friendly! And not like..it's good for gluten free...it's just good! I went in and came out with an entire box of goods and there were no regrets to be had. The staff is amazing and you can really tell they truly care about giving everyone a great experience. How good are these treats...I live in LA and I would drive the 6 hours just for these treats!!! Don't miss out! Road trip anyone?!

    Mouse ears to support the CHOC fundraiser. Delicious Coffee Cake.

    So happy to have this location open!!! Remember when Gluten Free meant grainy, fall-apart food that tasted a bit like cardboard? Well, those days are gone!!! Such delicious treats!!! Even small sourdough round loaves that I use to make sandwiches at home. Oh how I've missed tuna melts. Go now, you won't regret it.

    We absolutely love The Caring Kitchen! Our daughter is gluten and dairy free and her best friend has nut allergies so it is so great to be able to take them for a treat and see the delight they have in picking anything they want from the case. And I must say the treats are yummy, even coming from someone who does not have any food allergies. Staff has always been really friendly as well!

    The Caring Kitchen is doing the veganchefchallenge.org/sac and had 4 bakery items for the challenge . I tried 3 of 4 , only because I don't like ham. Otherwise I would have tried them all. I chose the Orange chocolate mousse cup as my favorite . Both The orange and chocolate flavors complemented each other. It's a winner quality. The other 2 were delicious as all her treats are. The employees are friendly at both Orangevale and Rancho. The bakery is always nice and clean. I always enjoyed going and getting treats from her bakeries for my family Everything is delicious. You can tell by the taste of her treats that she makes them with love. Go try them yourself and you'll see. You'll be a regular customer like my family is.

    I was so excited to try this place! I went with my kiddo. There were soo many choices! Just seeing…read morethe menu made me know I'd have to come back again. I appreciated that they have latosse options. In addition to the sweet drinks and treats, they also have savory options. The vibe was great. They have great decor, cute music, great lighting, etc. They even have cute stickers for sale and a toy crane machine game. When you first come in there's the register and menu right away. Staff was also helpful with the menu. They seemed sweet and friendly too. If you read the bad reviews, I'd keep in mind that they're 3+ years old. Everyone has different experiences and for me, it was great. The only problem will be is not to come too much. There's so much to try.

The decoration is cute and they play Kpop music videos- love it! They had an assortment of snacks and knickknacks by the register, but I would not be distracted! I got the bingsoo combo with fruit and red bean. It tasted good-- however the fruit was not typical for what I usually get with bingsoo. They had delicious strawberries, grapes, and some unidentifiable canned orange fruit (mango? peach?). It was a bit unusual but fine. Overall, the bingsoo hit the spot but not spectacularly. My husband ordered a pizza taiyaki and THAT was great! They make everything to order and even my daughter ate some of it (and asked for more). Would come back if in the area!

They also offer a complimentary photo print, which was a fun and unique addition. Although we didn't get to try the bingsu this time, we did try the Croiffles, and they exceeded expectations--perfectly crispy, and the whipped cream was light and made to perfection. Overall, a delightful dessert spot. We would definitely come back every time we're in the area.

The last three times I've gone have been very unfortunate though. The first instance the drink was noticeably incorrect, tasted like it was 98% milk and very little other flavor. The second, I had to wait over 30 mins for one drink. I went this last time as all the other boba places were closed and I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt- it took a little over 20 mins for my drinks. The place is cute and used to be good, but I don't think I will be back again. I hope that things improve in the future for other customers.

I like how many different options and flavors there were for their cakes, brownies, and cookies. She was super nice and let me pick out what kind of cut I wanted for my brownies (center or corners). I spent $41 on a set of 4 cupcakes, 1 brownie, 1 blondie, and 1 pack of 2 cookies. The cookies, brownie, & blondie were my fave parts. The cupcakes were a bit too dense/thick for me & just didn't really taste like the flavors I picked. But I enjoyed the unique flavors they had for the brownies and blondies.

The churro cookie sandwich was soooo good. It was two snickerdoodle cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar with the churro flavored cream in the middle. It was quite a large sandwich so I would say the price was worth it. It's definitely too heavy to have in one sitting but I would get it again if we order from here in the future. The lemon blondie was also very big and was more on the sweeter side than the tart side which is not my preference but my other coworkers liked it. My coworkers also got a variety of cupcakes and brownies and all seemed to enjoy it. I would recommend coming here if you are looking for a sweet treat.
