Nusa: Indonesian Thousand-Layer Cake and Beef Rendang Lands in the East Bay | Eater SF

"As of March 16, Forgotten Bakery at 4650 Stockton Boulevard is baking honey‑boiled bagels and Chilean‑style handmade empanadas, with menu highlights like the Loxanna bagel sandwich (the bakery’s take on a classic lox bagel) and the Chilean Classic Pino empanada served with traditional Chilean‑style salsa." - Paolo Bicchieri

Horn Barbecue Leaves Its Flagship Location in Oakland Citing Ongoing Vandalism and Fire Damage | Eater SF

"Opening on Saturday, March 16 on Stockton Boulevard, Forgotten Bakery pairs beer-fermented bagels with Chilean empanadas — a combination the owners, Robbie Naim and Paul Dollar, say is in their blood; I learned they’ll offer riffs on both, including spinach-and-cheese empanadas and hefty bagel sandwiches." - Paolo Bicchieri

Forgotten Bakery is a very cute spot on Stockton Blvd known for its delicious bagels. The bagels are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly chewy. Great spot for a quick, satisfying breakfast or snack. Highly recommended! I ordered the Everything Bagel 🥯 with bacon, jalapeño, cream cheese and green onion. It was delicious 😋

3 stars for waiting an hour for a (1) Bagel Sandwich and getting our drink complete wrong. There is no bathrooms at all, seating and parking is very limited. However, the Pastrami Rueben is delicious just not 40 mins good. Matcha latte was mid. Tastes watered down and little white balls floating in our drinks. I think anything tastes good after you’ve waited so long. So much was going on. So many others orders were wrong, people were getting inpatient with cashier (sadly) and someone almost crashed into the actual building trying not to miss the turn it. Scared everyone! So much was going on 😂. The Sandwich was good but we unfortunately will not be returning. Might not be your experience, so give it a try!

Checked this place out on a Su day morning and it was super busy - but service was great and the wait time was reasonable. There is a tiny uncovered seating area with mostly standing room. You may have to take your food to go, especially with the upcoming colder weather. Parking is a bit strange since it’s on a corner of Stockton blvd, and the lot is tiny and there is mostly street parking. The food was yummy! The bagels are fresh, and the eggs are fluffy - I ordered the Egg & Cheese but definitely want to try something different next time 😋 The matcha latte was delish By far my favorite was the guava and cream cheese 🥟 empanada. It is kind pricy though - I paid about $30 for these 3 items.

Can't speak highly enough about this place that has been on my list for awhile now! The handmade bagels are to die for, including the one with za'tar seasoning. Their empanadas are very yummy too. Had their pumpkin cream latte probably the best one I've had all season. Get there early because there's always a long wait on the weekends, but worse the prices. Stuff is also super welcoming and helpful

My wife stumbled upon this place while searching online for a place to buy a pistachio tart. Ultimately she wound up making one herself for my birthday but the online journey did result in us discovering this little gem. I had a Dad's Club and my wife had The BAE for my birthday brunch. Wonderful. I don't make bagels but as a frequent baker of artisan sourdough boules and sourdough pizzas, I do appreciate quality breads and the heart and soul that go into them. These were divine. Top it off with a flakey guava cream cheese empanada and it doesn't get it any better. The wait to both place my order as well as receive it were reasonable. The cashier was very friendly. I can see how parking could be an issue. I think I was lucky and arrived during a momentary lull as there were a couple of parking spaces in the lot. I don't know if I will be so lucky during future visits but it looks like I can always park on the street if I need to. The meal was not cheap but what is these days? It was fantastic though and so flavorful with the bagels being second to none. It is also a bit of a drive for me in a direction/area that I don't often find myself but I will definitely be making the trip on occasion for a treat. There are several other menu items that look intriguing and I simply must try them at some point after having experienced how fantastic my initial sampling was.

This baker is easy to pass by due to the location but if you are ever in the area definitely stop by! Came here for the first time for a bagel sandwich during brunch time with a small group of friends and it did not disappoint. The seating is all outside, covered high tops and picnic tables. There is limited seating and the parking lot is also very small, but you can also park on the street. The staff were very friendly! Great energy and quick given how many people were there. This place seems very popular as people were not only placing orders but picking up online orders. You can get bagels, bagel sandwiches, empanadas, and they have a new bagel dog item on their menu. They also offer teas and coffees. I tried the "forgotten" sandwich in jalapeño cheddar bagel and the fries guava empanada. The sandwich was a 8.5/10 for me and the empanada 9/10. My friend got their "superbloom" drink and it was delicious! Refreshing and tasty. Definitely come by and try this place if you haven't already, l'd like to come back and try other options.

Loved loved loved the food at The Forgotten Bakery. Definitely try the cheese empanada with the pebre dipping sauce. The BAE bagel sandwich was also a hit. The bagels are hand rolled and beer fermented, you can definitely taste the difference. The best bagels I’ve had probably ever. Highly recommend!

I don't have any complaints about this location. It's a pretty small and simple menu. They sell drinks, bagels, and empanadas. Small business work only outside seating. Small parking lot, but there is parking on the street. The staff was nice and offered to answer any questions about the menu. Staff also walked around and ensured people were pleased with their food.

It always seemed like everytime I wanted to give this place a go it was closed. I finally had some time off work and was able to check them out. They have a small patio if you want to enjoy your food there but we opted to take our sandwiches on the go. The cashier was pretty helpful with recommendations and also really nice. Very chill ambiance throughout the little establishment. Their bagels are possibly some of the best ones I've had in Sacramento. The sandwiches were more on the pricier size but as you can see they're pretty packed sandos. One thing I'd recommend is having a menu for how much each ingredient cost when you get a make your own bagel sando. The empanada we chose was the ham and cheese, which was also top tier. If you're looking for good breakfast sando spots, don't "forget" to check out Forgotten Bakery

I'm not a morning person but this place may just make me into one because I keep craving their empanadas! I had been seeing Forgotten Bakery on social media and it just happens to be not very far from our new place so it was a sign to try them out. I got their Bae bagel sandwich on the rosemary parm bagel. I did ask for it toasted but it didn't seem like it was, maybe I need to ask for it to be more toasted. It was very good nonetheless. It was also empanada Thursday so they are but 3 get 1 free. I opted for the spinach and cheese, double cheese, guava cream cheese and ham and cheese. All were bomb! I don't even like guava but the guava cream cheese so good! I will say it is a tab expensive BUT everything was loaded. They didn't skimp on ingredients. My bae sandwich had so much avocado which almost unheard of. All the empanadas were stuffed also so I feel you do get your monies worth.

Forgotten bakery- located on Stockton close to the UC Davis Children's Hospital! They have a small parking lot and street parking. I came early and it was still pretty busy! They have a gorgeous outdoor area! You either order online or in person! They have a really nice menu filled with bagels, empanadas, and various drinks and coffee! I got a pistachio almond milk latte iced and it was so good! I will be back for this again alone! I also got an everything bagel with egg and it was really nice! I got an empanada stuffed with the guava jam thing and it was so good! Will be coming back for sure! Also I think it's worth noting they have a reward program! Support your small businesses!

I really enjoyed their bagels for this being my first time and getting them to go! They're fresh and so soft. The perfect crust and soft inside. I ordered the special the rosemary and parm and omg to die for! The cream cheese spreads were also very god and thick consistency. I would say for the dozen when you choose ends up being over $50 with a few specialty bagels which feels so high. But it was worth it. The service was really nice, the girl upfront was kind and patient with me when i was choosing flavor and helpful with my drink choice. It is busy so be prepared to wait 5mins + for you order which isn't to bad. Outside seating is available and there isn't too much but it's very cute out there.

The best bagels in Sacramento...?? Potentially... My SLEEPER pick. Forgotten is located in the Colonial Heights neighborhood off Stockton Blvd and in-between 20th and 21st Ave. It's about a five or so minute drive south of the UC Davis Medical Center campus and ten minutes from where I live. It's also not too far from the Tahoe Park/ Oak Park DMV. So come get your nosh on after you get your Real ID! As an Ashkenazi Jewish person I am EXTREMELY particular about my bagels. Picky is an understatement- to say the least! When I first heard about Forgotten I knew I had to try them. As I'm an absolute sucker for bagels, schmear, and lox. Call me Sandy Cohen 2.0 (if you watched The OC, YKYK). One thing to note is parking is limited at Forgotten. There are about 7 or 8 spots within their gates. But you can park on the street and walk over as well. I wouldn't walk around Forgotten at night (they're not located in the greatest neighborhood), but it's completely fine during the morning and day (aka when you'd be getting bagels lol). I highly recommend ordering in advance online. Forgotten gets very busy with nurses and staff who work at UCD. Being able to cut the line to pick up your order helps if you're in a hurry! For those who want to eat there, the setup and ambiance at Forgotten is very interesting! There's benches, tables, and music playing! But it's completely outdoors so just be aware. I've been to Forgotten about seven times now. And staff are always EXTREMELY welcoming and friendly! Even when busy! The most recent time I was here the cashier even remembered my name and my go-to order! And I'm all about that! Speaking of my go-to order- I always go with the "Loxann" on a Jalapeño Cheddar bagel. Plain cream cheese, lox, tomatoes, black pepper, pickled onions, dill, and capers. And gotta get it toasted!! (If you eat your bagels untoasted I'm lowkey judging you lol). Everything bagels are a great plan B, but there's just something about Jalapeño Cheddar that just hits different. And WOW is this bagel sandwich delicious!! Everything tastes so fresh.. it's heavenly!! I like bagels that have a little "chew" to them and these do and then some! The lox, cream cheese, and condiments round out the perfect breakfast sandwich!! My wife likes their Zaatar bagels and typically goes with the "ForGarden" sandwich. I've had bites of hers and love this one as well, but I'm too much of a lox addict to change my "Loxann" order! In a nutshell, if you live/ work in East Sac, Oak Park, or Tahoe Park and are wanting a delicious breakfast, Forgotten is THE spot! I have yet to try Better Half Bagel, but for now I'm willing to crown Forgotten as the best bagels in Sacramento!! Get your bagel on. Just go. A++++

Excited to see that they have an online ordering pick up option as they can get really busy! I ordered half a dozen bagels, a few containers of cream cheese, some smoked salmon and their tomato onion salad. Their guava cream cheese is OMG to die for! We ate everything at home and added some home made fig jam to it and WOW. My favorite savory bagel was the zatar and jalapeño cheddar. What surprised me the most was the tomato onion salad. It went perfectly with the scallion cream cheese and smoked salmon. Overall, I am so happy to finally have a good, I mean GOOD, bagel spot in Sac. The bagels are truly the best -- ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside but fluffy and chewy on the inside. And you can't skip out on their empanadas if this is your first time! Their sandos are also really good and stuffed to the brim. Logistic tips: There is some outside seating. Parking can be tough but there is usually street parking available.

My husband and I have been wanting to try Forgotten Bakery for a long while now. When we arrived around opening the staff was friendly, the ambiance was picturesque, it was a cute nice setup. I can see why people would want to eat there when the weather is nice. We got 2 bagels the baes both with xtra sauce, xtra bacon and xtra egg and one with cheddar rather than American cheese on a rosemary parm bagel. When eating the food it was delicious, although before we did touch it we both noticed that there for sure was only 2 eggs that it comes with and not the extra we paid for. We double checked to see if they had charged us for the extra egg and they did, so that was disappointing. Price overall- $45.. we did tip 15% .. about after the missed product.. don't know how I feel about that especially since we took it to go.. but oh well I guess) so that much for 2 bagels that were not correct was not worth it. We agree somewhere like a modified sandwich at Posh or elsewhere like New York Bagel in Rancho is more bang for your buck and the product was just as good maybe even slightly better. Glad we tried it, just not returning.

What a great find! We've been meaning to try this place ever since we came across their bagels at Emily's Café in West Sacramento. The service was great and friendly. Simple, casual, clean. Cool ambiance with 80s synth music. The food was delicious. We ordered a pastrami Reuben sandwich on and everything bagel and it came out great lots of meat and great flavor. We also got a keto veggie Sando as well as a plain bagel to boot. The hibiscus iced tea was excellent as well. Would definitely recommend. We will be back soon.

First time here! Checking out because of the Sac Vegan Chef Challenge and I'm so glad I did! They were offering a special vegan menu this month and I tried the Vegan Sunrise Sandwich and it was SO Good and messy, wow! I hope they keep these options in the future. I ordered online ahead of time because I've heard they get busy and it was so easy to use and pick up! The bagels are delicious!

Bagels are fresh and the menu is amazing! I ordered the bae sandwich with a jalapeño cheddar bagel and my husband ordered the forgotten with an everything bagel. We also ordered a pistachio cream latte. Wow, I would order these items again! So delicious. The bagels were delicious and ingredients were fresh. I also ordered the chiliean beef empanada - it looked beautiful, but tasted average. I am eager to try the guava cheese empanada cause I heard amazing things about it. The service was excellent and staff are so helpful in answering questions. The outdoor seating area was very cute! However, there are a lot of flies in the outdoor space.

I discovered the Forgotten Bakery mainly because I passed this direction quite often. I decided to stop in one day with my daughter and they had a great selection of foods and drinks. The customer service was nice, they were willing to help with any selections/ questions that I may have had. It's outdoor seating, seating is pretty Limited. I chose an emanating and a coffee drink. Spinach and cheese was tasty.

We stopped here on our way into the zoo. We ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese, a bagel with salmon, capers, and pickled red onions and a beef empanada with a brown sugar latte. This was a cute little spot on the corner. We almost missed it so be sure to follow the directions via maps. I love the seasoning and the empanada. It was very flavorful and baked to perfection. I loved everything about the bagel. It was giving NYC bagel . We will definitely be back.

I had high expectations for this place given all the great reviews and the busy crowd. We ordered two bagel sandwiches (pastrami Reuben and the Luxanne) and a bagel with guava cream cheese--our total came to about $45. It's definitely on the pricier side, but I figured it would be worth it considering the long lines. We waited I think almost 30 mins so I was like this is about to be the best bagel I've ever eaten. Unfortunately, the bagels didn't live up to the hype. I was expecting a crispy exterior with a soft, airy inside (as many reviews mentioned), but ours were slightly hard and chewy. Maybe it was an off day or just our specific order, but it didn't feel like a $45 experience--more like something worth $10 per sandwich at most. The pastrami sandwich had good flavor, but if I'm paying this much, I expect to be wowed by the bagel itself and that didn't happen. The Luxanne was decent, nothing special. I originally wanted the jalapeño cheese bagel, but since they were out, I tried the za'atar one instead, and it was just okay. We also ordered an everything bagel with guava cream cheese but received a plain bagel instead. The guava flavor was very subtle. Overall, nothing really stood out, and I probably wouldn't come back.

Feeling hungry on a Thursday? Well, Forgotten Bakery got you covered with their Empanada Thursday's. Buy 3 get 1 free! It was our first time there, and it was perfect because we got to try almost all the empanadas. I decided to order online because I only had an hour lunch break, and this place was about a 25 minute drive. The time you choose to pick up is going to be the exact time they will have your order ready. Not earlier and not later, just right on time. There's a small parking lot probably good for 8 cars? But there is plenty of street parking. If you decide to not order online, you can order from their kiosk, or the person at the counter. There is no indoor seating, but there are tables and chairs outside. Now on to the empanadas. I really enjoyed the Classic Chilean. The beef was well seasoned and having the egg was a good touch. My kid really liked the Spinach and Cheese, so if you don't eat meat, this is a great option for you. The Beef Pino was also very good, but we wish there was more filling in that one. The same goes for the Fried Cheese. It definitely needed more cheese. Granted, the outer shell was good, but we wish there was more cheese. The Fried Guava was a nice dessert empanada. This was very good and a perfect way to end lunch. Pro tip: take a picture of their empanada menu so you can tell which empanada is which. They don't label the bags, but each empanada has a specific shape. Next time I come here, I am going to definitely try their bagels! And get a few empanadas as well.

Your girl is a sucker for a good bagel! And Forgotten Bakery does them right. I really didn't want to like them (just because I'm a bagel snob) but this sandwich was excellent! The husband did a bagel breakfast run for me one Friday (rough weeks call for yummy bagels). We pre-ordered online, and he was back in a flash. The bagel had a nice chew, veggies were fresh, cream cheese was rich, and the za'atar?? That was the icing on the... bagel! Highly recommend these sammies. Be aware, they are a bit on the pricier side. I'd say it's worth it but in this economy, I can only afford this treat once in a while. I'm looking forward to trying their empanadas

I'm a sucker for a good everything bagel, and when you pair that with smoked salmon I am done for. I fell in love with Forgotten Bakery's Loxann at first bite and I keep coming back for more. This business is a cute, hidden gem at the corner of Stockton Blvd and Baker Ave. They have a few parking spots, but there's plenty of street parking on Baker ave. It's all outdoor seating, but the area is super cute and it's a fun place to hang with friends while you enjoy your food. They offer bagels, bagel sandwiches, empanadas and drinks and they make the bagels and empanadas themselves. The bagels are incredible and the different sandwich options make it so there's a little something for everyone. The empanadas are also absolutely delicious and they offer sweet and savory options. Every time I've visited the owners have been inside working on orders and it's always nice to get to say hi to them. Their other staff members are always friendly as well. You can online order or order at the kiosk when you arrive. The menu stays pretty consistent, but check out their social media for any specials.

Super cute little spot. I came here for bagels with some friends. I got the Forgotten Bagel with no bacon and the Superbloom to drink. Both were delicious! There is a bit of a wait, but it is definitely worth it. There is only seating outside, but it's covered nicely so it didn't feel too hot outside. Overall, I would recommend this spot for breakfast and will definitely be coming back!

I've had my eye on this spot since they first opened, and I'm so glad I finally stopped by! Their menu strikes a perfect balance--offering a solid variety of bagels, empanadas, and drinks without being overwhelming. They make their bagels in-house, which you can definitely taste in the quality. I went with the Loxann Bagel on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, and wow--it was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely hit the spot. I also tried the guava cream cheese empanada, and it did not disappoint. It came out warm, with the filling still hot. Pro tip: Swing by on a Thursday for their empanada promo--buy 3, get 1 free. If you're in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out!

Super cute spot kind of in the middle of nowhere. Nice little garden setting with benches around. The girl taking orders was super nice. Food was fresh and delicious. We went right when they opened and no wait but about 9:15 they started getting a flow of people. Bagel sandwiches were satisfying! Good amount of food. Bacon was thick and savory. Mocha was good- little sweet. Black coffee was strong! My daughter loved the cheese empanada. She hasn't had anything like it and kept saying "yummy". Their outdoor seating was really nice. Parking is tight, but there is t much around so you aren't competing with parking from other businesses.

I was surprised to see only a few types of bagels at this bakery, but the ones that I ordered were delicious. The FoGarden was delicious and incredibly refreshing with the fresh dill and veggies on it. The BAE was good, a classic egg and cheese sandwich. The bagels themselves are very fresh and have a really good bite to them. For coffee, I tried the caramel macchiato which was alright, not bad but not amazing. The empanada actually surprised me in that I didn't like it. It was so dense and I didn't like the flavor, but that could just be me. If I came back, I would just come for the bagel sandwiches. Parking is terrible, the bakery had about 5-6 small spots in their lot, then it's residential street parking but extremely limited. The bakery is next to a busy street, but the plants and tables they have help with the noise. But, there isn't a ton of seating. The restaurant was not busy but our food and drinks actually took a while to come out (15-20 min). I can't imagine how long it would take on the weekend when the line is long. They do offer online ordering though, so that could be an option if you don't have time to wait.

I wanted to like this place. I knocked off a few stars because: 1. The wait time was nearly 40 minutes for 2 empanadas. I got my hibiscus tea timely. My sister also waited a long time for her order: bagel sandwich, two empanadas. She got her 2 drinks timely. 2. No onsite restroom. My son and I had to walk a few blocks to the La Superior Market to use the restroom. 3. IMO the empanadas were not worth the 40 minute wait time. My sister seemed to enjoy her bagel sandwich. I am not sure I would visit again, the wait time really put me off.

Finally drove down to this place and highly recommend coming. Cost is a little high but you'll understand why once you have your first bite. For starters the bagel it self is amazing.gives me NY bagel vibes. I got the BAE sandwich on an everything bagel and it was just a creamy heavenly bagel sandwich. I also got the beef empanada which was good but I wish there was like a chimichurri to dip it in.

Loved the kiosk for ordering. Super cute small location with fresh flowers on the table and a heater that kept me warm while waiting for our food. Loved that they gave us our coffee before the food- I was scared they were gonna wait until the food was ready to give us our coffee! The beef empanada was excellent! Great size, good amount of filling, and flavorful. Will try the other ones next time Both bagel sandwiches were good- super filling. Really appreciated the portion size. My iced coffee had a funky bagel taste- maybe they used some of the same stirring utensils or put it in the same fridge? It tasted like an everything bagel. I wouldn't get it again

There are a gluten-free bagels for the sandwich (everything bagels). They are tablets you order from, you do not wait too long to get your food but there is a lot of people. There is only out-door seating. The pistachio latte was hella good, highly recommend.

Summary: disappointing everything bagel that had 95% white and black sesame seeds and 5% poppy seeds (check the picture); however, it's a nice little bakery with hip outdoor seating, good service, and an interesting menu. I love supporting local businesses but I don't know if I'll be back given the hard miss on a staple menu item. Skip below if you want to see individual scores for certain aspects! It's been tough to find a solid bagel spot in Sacramento. If you've seen my other reviews, I tend to start with the "basic" order for most restaurants that are new to me, and in this case a bagel with cream cheese was sufficient for testing. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted, with cream cheese. $5 + tax and I pre-paid online. Seems like an average price for a decent bagel nowadays. For context, I make my own batch of bagels twice a month, and after a bit of experimentation I adapted a now-controversial YouTuber's New York Style Bagels recipe posted 7 years ago to suit my taste and keep things relatively simple. I'm not going to start a cottage business selling bagels, and I won't proclaim them the best bagels ever, but I've been asked by friends and neighbors to make them many times. Here's the whole review: Flavor 1/5 - I usually don't start with the lowest score but I'll get right to it for the flavor. In my experience, everything bagels have garlic flakes, onion flakes, white & black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and flaky sea salt. This bagel had 95% white and black sesame seeds and 5% poppy seeds. There was no room for any other taste besides sesame. I didn't see or taste any garlic or onion flakes/flavoring mixed into the dough either. It's not worth it to drive back over $5, and I'm not one to usually make a stink and ask for a replacement, but if I was eating there I would at least ask if there was something wrong with my order. And I can say pretty confidently it wasn't an order mix up because there were both sesame and poppy seeds on the bagel. - Texture 3/5 - The everything bagel was reasonably firm on the outside. It was fresh even though I ordered around noon. Small blisters were hugging the toasted exterior - I would guess they use a bit of baking soda when boiling to achieve this. I chose the regular toast level and approximately 10% of the ingredients were overly toasted, which is just the right amount of char to add another level of flavor to the bagel. We've all been wronged by a burnt everything bagel in the past, so I wouldn't recommend the double toast option unless you want a lump of charcoal and are a masochist. The bagel was soft enough inside. I think if they used a proper spice blend with garlic and onion flakes, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, I could change this to a 4 or better as the blend does influence the texture. - Service 5/5 - Easy to order online pickup. Scheduled for 15 minutes and I arrived after 10 minutes, so I picked up my order immediately upon arrival and headed home. The woman at the cash register was pleasant and welcoming. I'll also note the out of stock/availability for online ordering seemed to be accurate which is appreciated. - Overall, I'd say if they fix their spice blend, the everything bagel is a solid value for $5 + tax. If it was a dollar cheaper with proper ingredients then I'd be visiting 2-3 times a month without question. It's a shame they flubbed so hard on the everything bagel because I really wanted to try their empanadas and egg sandwiches. Thanks for reading my review! Stay safe out there, friends.

Amazing new bakery in Sacramento! They specialize in bagels and empanadas, and when I say "specialize", I mean they may DAMN GOOD bagels and empanadas. Their flavor combinations are all on point (personal favorite is the Forgotten Bagel, but all are delicious). Pro tip - take advantage of online ordering! Ordering at the self-service kiosk is a little clunky (especially with people who haven't been before). We've always gotten our orders to go, but there's a cute little outside seating area that dogs are welcome in, too.

I had the best time visiting Forgotten Bakery, truly an experience I will always remember. Today, I spoke with Casey (I hope I spelled her name right) super knowledgeable with their menu items and did amazing for recommendations for me being first timer. I will say the Chilean Classic Pinot Beef Pinot was different it did have raisins which did surprise me on how well it blended together. My favorite for empanadas as of right now (still have to try the other ones) would have to be Guava Cheese but ham and cheese is coming in close second.. For Bagels, I got "The Bae" on their Togarashi bagel. You guys no exaggeration at all but this has by far been the best bagel i've had in a while no other establishments can compare I genuinely hope they keep the Togarashi in rotation. The establishment itself was clean , music was exceptional super intimate spacing for me. Can't express how great the staff at Forgotten Bakery is. Thank you again for your guys' professionalism all around, see you next time. Cheers.

I placed an online order for a Sunday morning pickup. I thought it would be busy, because we chose the earliest time available but it was absolutely fine. There is a small parking lot behind the building structure. There is also plenty of street parking. I was greeted by the employee and told her I had an online order. She stepped away to collected my order from the building. It was actually super quick and easy. I saw that if you do place an order in-house there is a kiosk. It appeared that all descriptions and photos were available to help guide one through the menu. There is an outdoor patio for seating. They had barstools and tabletops. There was also a nice heater on so eating outside would definitely be more pleasant on a cold morning. Just keep in mind there isn't inside seating available. We ordered the bae bagel sandwich (2 sunny side up eggs, bacon, avocado, American cheese and aoili), the loxann (lox, cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, dill, pickled onions and cracked pepper), a spinach & cheese empanada and a guava cheese empanada. The sandwiches could be made toasted and the empanada could be warmed up too. Both sandwiches were delicious and surprisingly filling. They do NOT skimp on the cream cheese topping. I could probably have eaten half of the sandwich or share with someone, but I was extra hungry today. The empanadas both had a decent amount of filling and were delightful. The crust had a nice brown edge to them. It was my first visit and I am already contemplating my next visit so I can try out the pastrami reuben sandwich.

I've been seeing this place all over instagram so I had to check it out. When I arrived, I didn't realize it would be that busy before 10 AM. Parking is awful, their parking lot is real small so you will have to park in the neighborhood. The neighborhood has cars parked out already so if you have a big truck or car, you'll need to come earlier or park pretty far away. The line was long but went quickly. They have 2 iPads to order and it was easy. If you can order online ahead, I highly recommend it and make sure you got what you ordered. The most time I spent waiting was for the food and coffee. I ordered the BAE, loxann, guava cheese, Chilean classic, and the beef pino. I will come back and try more of their menu. Pros: loved the BAE and the empanadas. They were all seasoned well and huge portions. Cons: I didn't enjoy the loxann and I love lox bagels. The tomatoes and pickled onions were not my jam, they just didn't pair well. I wanted to try it as they had it on the menu so I could get a true experience.

Came across this place today looking for a new breakfast/coffee spot to try! This place was absolutely amazing! The ambiance was adorable, the cashier was so friendly and helpful, the bagels were to die for and not to mention huge! We also got two iced coffees, the caramel macchiato and the pumpkin cream cold brew. Both were perfectly sweet and the coffee itself tasted so rich and indulgent. This is definitely my new favorite bagel spot in Sacramento! They also have vegan, keto, and low carb options which I thought was super neat! 10/10 spot and can't wait to come here again and try something new!

Better than NYC bagels. Period. I'm not kidding. This might have been the best bagel I've ever had in my life. Having a fried egg in it instead of scrambled is the star of the show. We added pickled onion and scallion cream cheese to it too. Every single ingredient on the bagel was perfect and delicious. We also got their Chilean Classic Beef and Beef Pino empanada. They have the exact same filling just rolled differently so I wouldn't recommend getting them both together. You can get either one. Both were yummy but the bagel was the star of the show. It's a small shop that has no indoor seating, but their outdoor area is really cute. So if it's a nice day you absolutely can go, order, and sit outside. The only downside to this was the pricing. The bagel with the add ons of cream cheese and pickles onions was $18.25.... I thought that was pretty expensive for a bagel. But it was possibly the best bagel I've ever had, so I guess it's where do you draw the line, ya know? In total with the bagel and two empanadas it came out to $33.67 which again I think is pretty steep. I can complain about the price all day long but I absolutely will be going back and will happily pay $18 for one of the best bagels in the world.

They do NOT charge extra for using a milk alternative! Finally, a place I can go to and NOT be charged an extra dollar because I want my drink to be made with almond milk instead of cow milk. I came here for the first time during their Chilean Independence Celebration. The empanada dough was light and fresh. I wish their guava and cheese empanada had more guava. I will definitely be back.

Hubby and I went to Forgotten Bakery for breakfast today. We tried 2 new sandwiches (new to us) the Pastrami Rueben and the Dad's Club sandwich. As always they were delicious. They never disappoint. The sandwiches are packed and have so much flavor. Order ahead because it does get packed. Definitely will be back.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was not disappointed. They have a small private parking lot cute little area for you to wait for your order. We ordered the Bae (with scallion cream cheese and a jalepeno cheese bagel), the Loxann, and a fried guava empanada. We did have to wait a little bit in a short line to order and then for probably 15-20 minutes while they made our bagels, but it was totally worth it. Sacramento is in dire need of good bagel spots and we were vey impressed! Everything was fresh and flavorful and so good. The fried guava empanada was ridiculously delicious. 10/10 would go there again!

I ordered online and got my sandwich on time. I've been looking for a place with pretty good bagels (not as good as NY tho) and I do love bagel sandwiches. I ordered the bae. The service and the bagel texture weren't bad and I liked everything in my sandwich but for some reason the aioli seemed a bit off. I'm wondering if I should try a diff sandwich or bagel and then decide. I'd try this spot again.

So exciting to see Stockton Blvd slowly being revitalized. Forgotten Bakery is a welcome addition to this busy thoroughfare. Your order is always to go, but there's ample outdoor seating available if you'd like to sit and eat. They have their staple bagels: sesame, everything, poppy, plain, and they also have rotating flavors. When I went, their rotating flavors were zaatar (smells heavenly), pesto parmesan, and jalapeño cheddar. I got the loxann on pesto parmesan, and it was out of this world. The Loxann is pricy at $14.50, but it's quite the hefty sandwich and I split it into breakfast and lunch. They do try to source some of their veggies locally, hyperlocally even, from the neighborhood farm: Root 64. The empanadas are also delicious. Get the fried guava empanada if it's available! Happy to have this available in my neighborhood.

I traveled across town to try Forgotten Bakery for lunch to see what the hype was all about! It's definitely a cool spot for unique bagel sandwiches to pick up and go. It's not a sit down place. You order from the patio area which has a few round tables to eat or wait for your order. They do not take cash. We ordered the Loxann bagel, which tasted great, though it had a bit too much cream cheese and not quite enough lox ingredients and not sure it was worth $16. We also tried the pastrami Reuben, which was solid and flavorful also priced at $16. It was good. We got there around 12:40 PM and ended up waiting about 30 minutes for our sandwiches. If you're planning a visit, I'd recommend ordering ahead to cut down on the wait. Overall, worth the trip for tasty bagel experience, but best to plan ahead for a quicker experience!

Try it, you'll like it! Although we live in the Sacramento area, it took our son from Southern California to discover this place when brought a couple dozen assorted bagels to enjoy over a family reunion trip to Bass Lake. Even four days later, the bagels were delicious and got raves from everyone. Especially the Everything bagels. We decided to try out Forgotten Bakery in person after I couldn't get my cravings for their bagels out of my head. Of course we showed up during the rush hour and there was a line out the door. A steady stream of folks were also picking up online orders. A testament to the yummy food. There's a few tables to sit at which filled up quickly. Most seats offer shade. We loved the whole casual vibe. Friendly service and great music added to the awesome experience. You can order ahead online or at the counter. Although very busy our wait wasn't bad - about 15 minutes. We ordered a cold brew coffee plus an Egg & Cheese sandwich on a jalapeño and cheese bagel to split. Oh so tasty! Loved the aioli sauce. (The fancy bagel costs a bit extra.) Then we ordered two more toasted jalapeño and cheese bagels with plain cream cheese for the road trip ahead. Excellent. I can see why people are calling this the best bagels in Sacramento. They have small but fabulous food and drink selection that will keep us coming back.

The service was great cute little outside setup with tables. Dog friendly brought mine and they offered us a pup cup. She was helpful with suggestions and offerings. The empanada was SOOOOOO good. It had beef, hard boiled egg and olives and raisins I got the salsa, made it extra special. The bagel was so good on the sandwich and the bacon. You could tell everything was cooked well and fresh and good quality. At first the price kinda felt like a lot it $24 for both, I believe the empanada was $6.50 which isn't too out of this world. But felt like an expensive breakfast at first. And the salsa was $1. Add on. So I think that makes the sandwich around $15, but I can't recall exactly. After having them though, it was really good quality. So I felt good about supporting a local business even though it was a bit pricey. Not an everyday breakfast, definitely a treat though. They also had a special 3 empanadas for $19.50 and I think you get one free on Thursday. Which was very tempting.

I was driving down Stockton Boulevard and saw this out of the corner of my eye so I had to stop by and check it out. The parking lot is small, but there is street parking as well. There is no indoor seating but they do have tables and benches outside. I ordered a guava empanada, tropical hibiscus tea and a hot coffee. I took the empanada out of the bag 30 minutes after I ordered it and it was still warm! When I broke it open you could still see steam coming out. The bread part of the empanada tasted exactly like a funnel cake. They even coat it with powdered sugar. The tropical hibiscus tea has no sugar, but it wasn't bitter and I was happy about that. I will definitely be coming back to get more empanadas and try their bagels. They looked so good!

The service was great; and the food came out great! I got the BAE it was freshly made which I appreciate! I added on hotsauce to give it a kick and it was a great choice for those who like a little bit of tart and spice. They have a very small seating area, but my friend and I got lucky and snatched a seat. They have an outdoor heater so it felt cozy despite the weather being cold in temperature. Next time, I would love to try their Chilean empanada with their sauces.

PORTIONS: filling and hearty PRICE: appropriate-pricey SERVICE: counter style, fast; ~15 min turnover but if you're getting something fried, expect a longer wait AMBIANCE: OUTDOOR ONLY and cozy FLAVORS: Loxann bagel (5/5) - gorgeous! And SO customizable Guava cream cheese empanada (2/5) - skippable flavor, dough was thin and fresh, they fried it to order. I think maybe a different filling would rate higher Chocolate chip walnut cookie (4/5) - they used BITTERsweet chocolate, I believe, not dark chocolate? So do what you will with that. BONUS TIP: parking lot is SMOL. There's also street parking.

Finally got to actually check this place out! Usually get their bagels and empanadas from Mast coffee. The setup is very cute but very small with only outdoor seating, but had great vibes. The lady who took my order was also very sweet!
