    Dubai chocolate cookie
    François S.

    Nice little storefront. Has good selection of locally made treats. Was in the area, but would stop by again!

    I stopped by for the 2025 Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge. It's such a cute bakery and they had a ton of desserts! It was so hard not to get one of everything! For the challenge, I got the Orange Chocolate Mousse Cake Cup and the Tater Toffee Cookie. I also couldn't resist a Halloween jack-o'-lantern Vanilla Cupcake and a Jack Skellington sugar cookie. Everything was absolutely scrumptious, and cute! The service was also super friendly! (instagram: jax.vegan.eats)

    I'm not the biggest "sweets" person, but any time my wife asks if I want anything from The Caring Kitchen, it's an immediate yes! Anything snickerdoodle is my weakness. Also the cookie dough sandwiches are an instant bad day turned into an amazing day! Would gladly pay $20 for one of these cookies knowing how they are made and what goes into them. Anyone complaining about the price of these treats has clearly no idea what they're talking about and are just broke and bitter. On top of that, we love supporting local small businesses, and this is one of the best!

    It's so cute inside!

    The Caring Kitchen is so awesome! I went for my first time in November, and I was so excited at how cute it is inside. I got a brownie and another chocolate item that I can't remember (because chocolate is superior in every way). Both were super yummy and I usually don't even like gluten-free baked goods. I'm not usually in that area of town, but I will definitely be going back here. The peeps who work there are super nice too.

    I came for the cookies and I was not disappointed in the selection! I got a snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, & and Oreo stuffed cookie. There was only one employee working the front. Inside is very small and got cramped fast since there was a large line waiting for the pastries. The cookies are all uniform in size and all very moist. They did have a grainy texture after biting into them. Personally did not enjoy them because of that texture & couldn't finish them. I inquired about lemon pastries & they said the baker posts the menu online for the day so plan accordingly.

    Happiness! That's what's in the photo. It's called the Eat Your Feelings cup. Once I eat it, I feel happy.

    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.

    I'm 100% on board. For those who are celiac like myself, it's very difficult to find reasonable consistency with baked goods. From that broader perspective, this spot specifically cracked the code. First visit and I'll say while service is okay, ambiance is great, menu options are diverse, and quality of items is high. About the food: I had what was essentially ham and cheese wrapped in a croissant. For years, I've been trying to find a gluten-free croissant as close to the common version as possible - soft, light, flaky, buttery, and everything else characteristically pertinent. Finally done right! Also had the oatmeal cream pie, almond croissant cookie, and brownie - each soft and rich in flavor. Will absolutely be back.

    Keto donut a good size
    Lily R.

    Came here for the keto options and sad to say there wasn't much to choose from however these keto donuts did not disappoint! I loved that it was cool in temperature, dense and moist. I really enjoyed it. I will def be back if we're in the area to try more!

    The BEST cupcake for my son's 24th birthday!

    I love both locations! They are amazing at making vegan and gluten-free treats! The service is outstanding , and I love the ambiance of Star Wars and that it's family owned. Wonderful... Thank YOU!

    Brook V.

    I've been here too many times to count and the excitement I feel walking in the store is always unmatched!! As someone with an anaphylactic egg and dairy allergy it's practically impossible to find sweets ... a these aren't just sweet treats.. they are AMAZING!!! I've never tried something I didn't like here! I have dreams about this place 100/10!! Everyone should try this gem of a bakery, allergies or not! The quality is top tier always! Service is always great + fast! Did I mention the bakery is PINK inside.. what's not to like?? Ambience is 10/10!

    Goodies!!!! I called the strawberry shortcake  all mine!
    Cyn D.

    I've had this bakery saved on my to check out list for months now and today was the day! I'm so glad we decided to go. There weren't baked goods left, but enough to order one of each so we could test and taste them. The pizza scone is delicious! The gluten free donut is also very good. So moist and not overly sweet. I love the bits of carrots and nuts inside. Perfect. We will be trying the tiramasu after dinner. My bf loved the chocolate chip cookie sandwich with cookie dough in the center. The bakery is tucked away to the right of the gas station, cute, quaint bakery. We arrived two hours before closing. I also purchased a homemade soap that I'm so excited to try! Definitely will be coming back for more. Absolutely delicious .

    This bakery is my version of heaven on earth. Everything I've tried from here has been delightful, delicious, unique, flavorful, and satisfying my cravings every time! I'm in love with this place! I am in love with their cookie sandwiches, brownies, cupcakes, cake pops, cookie dough anything, caramel anything, and oh my goodness the coffee cake with the most perfect streusel on top! Everything is made from scratch. 100% Vegan and Gluten Free facility. There is something for everyone! I look forward to her menus every week posted on her Instagram and I am always curious to try something new! Furthermore, the service is kind and knowledgeable about everything on the menu, making this an enjoyable experience every time.

    Vegan, gluten free bakery boutique. SUPPORT FAMILY OWNED LOCAL BUSINESSES!!! The best of both worlds. Vegan and gluten friendly. Quality of both items and service. They have sweets and breads. Ordered the grasshopper brownie, keto chocolate peanut butter bar, key lime cookie. None was a disappointment; it hit my sweet tooth. They have cashless payment, apple and cash app. If using cash app they will waive the $1 fee. Parking in the plaza.

    Do you make dairy 🥛-free birthday cakes? My son is allergic to cow's milk. Thank you.

    Hi! Unfortunately we don’t make birthday cakes at this time. We likely won’t be taking cake orders again until we find a space with a bigger kitchen.

    What kind of oils are used?

    Depends on the recipe. We use a vegan butter that contains canola oil and olive oil. Some recipes use grapeseed oil. Some use coconut oil. So it varies.

I got the bites in the style of "Mom's Apple Pie" which cranked the deliciousness up a notch even more (warm soft apple slices and caramel drizzle that's not overly rich).

He was super nice and helpful being it was our first time there. There is definitely something for everyone, from sweet to savory, hot and cold. Frozen yogurt, shakes, smoothies, waffles, crepes, cake, cookies, frozen cheesecake, frozen chocolate covered bananas, and so much more. I decided on a Coffee Affogado with Hazelnut. It was absolutely delicious. The perfect amount of coffee, frozen yogurt and sweet hazelnut... 10/10. My oldest ordered a Peach Smoothie. It was sweet and refreshing with chucks of fruit. Absolute perfection. My youngest decided on vanilla frozen yogurt with strawberry popping boba as her topping. He put tons of toppings which made for one happy girl. Next time we decided we need to try a crepe, frozen cheesecake on a stick and the strawberry shortcake cup in the fridge. My girls and I highly recommend checking this place out for all your sweet tooth cravings!

First of all, the drinks were delicious. Cold and creamy and not 90% ice which was a huge plus. I felt like we got more drink than ice and I highly appreciate that. The strawberry milk drink tasted like it was mixed with real strawberry pieces. The velvet drink was the perfect blend of taro and Thai tea. All in all, both had great flavor. My only complaint, the size of the drink- it's pretty small. But it's also about normal for these kinds of drinks so it's to be expected. My daughter liked the macaron cookies (they are a favorite of hers). I've never been a fan of those kinds of cookies but I tried them and they were tasty. Of all the ones I've tried, they definitely make top 2. We will definitely be back.

    First let me start by saying... FROYO!!…read more I'm a big fan of frozen yogurt, and when the flavors and toppings are this stacked, I'm basically a kid in a candy store. Ambiance: 7/10 It's a yogurt shop, so don't expect much in terms of decor... but honestly, that's not what we're here for. The focus is the froyo. They've got some indoor seating along the wall and a small aarea in the back, enough to chill if you're not taking it togo. Service: 5/10 It's a self serve place, so interaction is minimal. Only reason I'm knocking it down is because it took a while for someone to come out from the back when I needed a sample cup. Once I had that, I was good to go. Food: 10/10 I sampled about 6 different flavors (zero shame), and settled on cheesecake and chocolate raspberry truffle....SO good. I went full dessert mode and topped it with cheesecake bites (a must for me), cookie dough bites, brownies, cherries, you get the picture. It was glorious, and I had leftovers for a second round later. Thanks, Yogurtland, for being loaded with options and not skimping on the good stuff. I'll definitely keep coming back for my froyo fix.

    3.5 STARS i've been…read moremeaning to try yogurtland since it's such a popular place for froyo. it was set up the same as a typical froyo shop, with plenty of options to choose from - more than most of the local family-owned shops. there was plenty of seating inside when my boyfriend and i went, and it seemed pretty lively in the evening. they offered small cups at the counter to try some samples, and service was what you would expect from the counter. - plain tart (4.5/5): classic tart flavor, like a tangy greek yogurt but sweeter. very yummy! - french vanilla NSA (4/5): very classic vanilla and creamier than the others, which i liked - dutch chocolate (3.5/5): definitely tasted like chocolate, but i didn't like it as much as chocolate froyo from other stores. it just wasn't as creamy as the vanilla, and the texture was almost icy - fresh strawberry (4/5): on the icier end, but i liked the strawberry flavor. it tasted like a strawberry yogurt popsicle! - toasted coconut (4.5/5): i liked the strong coconut flavor and creamier texture. it tasted exactly as expected - cheesecake (3/5): i actually really enjoyed the plain ny cheesecake flavor, but it was just too subtle. i wish it was stronger - rocket pop sorbet (2/5): it did have the same flavors as a rocket pop, but it tasted so much more artificial... and rocket pops are already artificial. the icy texture worked for the sorbet though - alphonso mango tart (4.5/5): the classic tart mixed with mango. i really enjoyed this version of the tart flavor, and the mango came through nicely to sweeten the yogurt. this was probably my favorite flavor! - pumpkin pie (1/5): there was way too much pumpkin spice flavoring, which made it overwhelming. it also tasted very artificial to me yogurtland offered most of the basic topping options, including a variety of fruit, mochi, peanuts, chocolates, candies, cereals, and cookies. they were missing my favorite fruit topping, bananas, and it would've been nice if they offered more peanut butter-related things, like peanut butter chips, although i didn't really mind. there were definitely enough options! overall, i thought yogurtland was alright. the standard and quality was as expected from a chain. i felt like yogurtland's yogurts were on the icier end and i prefer creamier yogurts, so it could also be personal preference. i think that yogurtland is a good, basic, and reliable option for froyo, and i would come here if my local mom-and-pop shop was closed.

    Headline: Another great brewery in Rancho Cordova!…read more Location: Located off sunrise blvd, is this unassuming brewery. I say that because when I entered I thought I was coming into a small little brewery but was suprised to find a pretty big place. Not only does it have the a bunch of seating areas to the side but they have a large open space in the back. Of course it was a cloudly day so we opted to stay inside. This place has a nice vibe with different seating areas and smaller areas if you want to stay away from the crowd. They also have some single seats and an area with a bunch of different games. Really suprised at how big this place is. Service: The beertender was very helpful letting us try out different drinks and providing some information on what we might lake based on taste. We didn't get too much interaction after we served our drinks but it was a good interaction and means we were able to get our drinks real quick. Drinks: I ended up getting the coffee stout made from Kingdom Coffee Roaster beans and was suprised about how light it was. I couldn't resist once I actually tasted it. While not a dark rich stout it still had a creamy light finish and honestly was something that I would order again. Defintely a place worth checking out if breweries are your thing!
