    the raspberry thumbprint was so dank with a light coffee.
    Jeff W.

    I've always driven past here going to Costco and finally got to experience the beautifully hidden gem! Vegan, gluten-free, and baked with love, the cookies here are really good. Also, they did Not bother my sensitive stomach after trying two of them like other popular vegan/gluten-free bakeries I've had in Sac and the Bay. The quality is a reflection of the bakery and its team. I think I talked with the owner and another crew on Saturday. The bakery look is pink, clean, and crisp with a love for Star Wars and wonderful presentation. Cookies; Funfetti, (yummy, bright and smooth, my dog also loved this!) snickerdoodle, (on point and just as you'd imagine), Raspberry Thumbprint (best vegan thumbprint I've ever had) man... can't wait to go back and get all chocolate items next visit! :) No grainy finishes or after taste. Just deelish! Support local y'all!

    I almost forgot to take a picture of the frosted cookie, lol...

    Vacillating between three or four stars. I will make it four stars, because overall the cookies did taste good. I was in the neighborhood, and so I decided to stop by and try this place based on the reviews. The place is bright and clean, they have a good sized selection, and the lady that ran the place was very very friendly. Overall, the two cookies I had were OK. The first cookie I had was the chocolate cookie dough frost 'em. The cookie was a very good sized, and the cookie itself tasted good, but it had a bit of a gritty texture. Also, the cookie was way too sweet. Maybe cut back on the frosting a little bit, or maybe put a little bit less sweetening in the frosting, but the frosting was definitely overwhelming. The second cookie I had later, was the snickerdoodle. Again, the cookie tasted very good, but again, it had a bit of a gritty texture. Also, the middle of the snickerdoodle definitely tasted underbaked to me. It was just way too soft. The soft texture took away from the cookie a bit. The texture was just a little bit "off" for me. The price was reasonable, especially considering that this is a specialty bakery. There is a small upcharge if you pay with card, but it was very clearly pointed out. They refer to it as a "cash discount. I do realize that these cookies are vegan and gluten-free, and it may have been the gluten-free that caused the texture issues. Looking back at it now, it may be because a lot of gluten-free products use rice flour, which cannot be milled as fine as "regular flour.". That could be the cause of the grittiness. . I am glad that the vegan and gluten-free Community do have a place where they can get their sweets now. For me, I am glad I tried them, but while overall the cookies were OK, they just weren't for me. Thank you anyway.

    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)

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 googled gluten free places in Sacramento and the search told me that Sacramento had many options…read more I disagree. There are hardly any gluten free places in the entire region! I was in Portland a couple weeks ago and there are many, many gluten free establishments. With so many intolerant to gluten, you'd think there would be more. Thankfully Gluten OFF Bakery is here - though a bit far from my part of Sacramento. This family owned business is excellent. The restaurant has been furnished with love and care with beautiful green and wood tones throughout. There are thoughtful decorations all around the good sized dining area. In the front is the case where you can see pastry and cookie options as well as a whole drink menu. Most gluten free places focus on pastries and such, but to my surprise, Gluten OFF also had real food items on the menu. There were burgers, crepes (both sweet and savory), and sandwiches. I really appreciated this variety. I decided to go for the apple crepe on my visit and it was absolutely the correct choice. The crepes are nice and thin and they are dressed very nicely. The crepes honestly surprised me so much! It was made very well, was delicate, and didn't feel like I was eating something that didn't have gluten in it. My wife got the avocado toast with salmon and it was a hearty amount of food. They did not skimp on the avocado or salmon. It was beautifully presented and she enjoyed it quite a bit. Gluten OFF Bakery is top notch and one of the best options for folks who need a place that doesn't serve gluten in their foods.

I'm staying at a nearby hotel for a trade show I'm involved in and didn't feel like traveling far and everything else was fast food and this was a sitdown place so that's why I decided to go there despite the fact I knew it was not high end. The food was priced well there was lots of people and so I knew everything was relatively fresh, but I just had to laugh when my Dish arrived. I settled on the flank steak and shrimp combo platter no mashed potatoes. I opted for veg instead and no cornbread or buns since I'm trying to be keto. I also got a glass of wine, which was happy hour prices and very reasonable when my Dish arrived. It was hilarious instead of a steak. It looked like a cow penis! It tasted fine although it was a little past the "medium" I had requested. They delivered it with a bottle of A1 sauce without me requesting it. that further indicating this is a very basic basic restaurant since at fine dining establishments with steak they are offended if you order A1 sauce! I happen to like A1 sauce even with nice steaks and so I just had to chuckle, but I did like my A1 sauce! The shape was just hilarious.

I ordered the Pho Tai, but the meat arrived pre-cooked, shredded, and low grade. Even worse, the rice noodles came in a solid, blocky cube that I had to manually pry apart. The Banh Mi was equally poor--the bread was incredibly hard/stale, and the meat was sliced far too thick with large chunks of unchewable fat. The service was non-existent. I had to specifically ask for basics like chopsticks and sauces just to begin my meal. I got a single paper napkin. The staff seemed entirely uninterested. I thanked my server on three separate occasions and never once received a "you're welcome" or even a nod. No one ever checked on the table during the meal to see if I needed anything. After finishing, I waited over 10 minutes for a check that never arrived. I eventually had to walk up to the counter just to pay so I could leave. At that point I saved $6 since self-service isn't tip-worthy... I left feeling confused as to whether this was supposed to be a sit-down restaurant or a self-service cafe.

I visited on a weekend afternoon and was the only customer in the restaurant, with just one chef and one server present. I ordered a torched roll. I could hear the torch being applied for several seconds, and when the plate arrived the rice was literally blackened and crunchy from being burned. The albacore on top was stiff and overcooked, the sauce was excessive, and the shrimp tempura inside was soggy. Every component was mishandled -- from ingredient freshness to execution -- and after two bites I felt sick and could not continue eating it. I considered asking for a replacement, but the chef left the restaurant immediately after serving the dish. The server was polite and understanding when I explained I couldn't eat the food, and I left without ordering anything else. I have given this restaurant multiple chances and this was the final one. With several other sushi restaurants nearby, I strongly recommend choosing elsewhere.

    This was one of the first halal Arab restaurants in Sacramento, and so my parents and I would…read morealways go here, especially since it's nearby. It's shocking to see where it has come though. When management was different, you would receive free butter and salad and bread. But now each of those items are priced individually, and are quite expensive. The average kebab plate anywhere includes a side of salad, pita bread, hummus, rice, and kabab. Here you get a couple slices of onion, a roasted tomato, rice, and kebab. Yes there's a good protion if kebab but everything else is very sparse, and the entire dish is definitely not worth. It's price. The Rack of lamb being $36 for four pieces is also crazy, when even in San Diego, that price would get you about six pieces. The service is all right , we often had to prompt our server for water. The ambience has always been great. And is that of a very high-quality restaurant. And the food does taste good. But it lacks would most high-quality restaurants have, which is good service, and complementary items to match the what you pay
