As someone with multiple food allergies, finding a gluten-free and dairy-free bakery is always a big deal. I’ve been a huge fan of this bakery’s cinnamon coffee cakes sold at Nugget, so I was genuinely excited to finally visit the bakery itself. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth. Sebastian and another gentleman behind the counter were incredibly sweet, helpful, and welcoming. Even the other customers were kind..one of them even helped guide me as it was my first visit. The customer service was truly exceptional and made the whole experience feel special. I ended up choosing the “No-Name” donut or pastry, which was described as tasting like the inside of a cinnamon roll..something I was really looking forward to. Sadly, this review is about the food itself, and I hate to say I was ended up disappointed. When I got home and tried it, it was cold, the texture was off, and the flavor was strange..nothing like the warm, gooey cinnamon experience I had imagined. Not only did I not enjoy the taste, but I actually started to feel nauseous after eating it. I couldn’t even finish the first one and ended up not touching the second. As someone who can’t often indulge in baked goods due to allergies, this was especially disheartening. I so badly wanted to love it. That said, I truly appreciated the kindness and care from the staff, thank you for making that aspect wonderful! Hopefully if I come back, some other pastries will be better.

All of the vegan and gluten free desserts! It's a safe place for me to get stuff for my family ❤️. Only thing about pushkins that isn't great is that there's no seating inside, you gotta park in the food coop and that's a challenge, and there's always someone asking for money on the corner. Sometimes with their babies. None of that is pushkins fault but it does take from the experience.

This place was busy so make sure to get their early. I think the prices are really reasonable. My favorite thing ever was the blueberry coffee cake and the mudpie cookie. All the deserts were good for one serving (although I know it's actually supposed to be more than one) the pumpkin bread was really good to.

The mud pie cookie was pretty good. Flat, but big and very sweet for $3.50. Kind of like an oversized chocolate macaron in texture (airy). Nothing else in the case called to me. The lemon bars didn't seem big enough for that price point. The space was pretty small. It's not their fault the weather is cold, but it isn't that inviting of a space for dine-in. I'd maybe try the carrot cupcake in the future for takeaway. Service was fast.

Fun bakery with tons of options both vegan and non vegan. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the perfect portion size

It's hard to find vegan pastries. I've tried many items on their menu, and they are very good. This time, I tried sandwich 3, and it was good. I'm not fond of the location in cold weather because there is only outdoor seating with 2 tables. Still, there are good options.

I saw the below review about "accidentally entering a gluten free place" their review is ridiculous and lacks common sense. Instead of leaving a bad review for a place that didn't match your taste, you should have just been smarter and walked out. This place is amazing and the pastries are delicious. Don't listen to dull individuals who lack the brain capacity to think.

Didn't realize this place was gluten, wheat and dairy free. This totally explains why everything was super disappointing and underwhelming. I didn't want to get anything but my boyfriend felt too awkward leaving. He ended up getting a VERY pale and scary looking apple something scone for $4. He was the only one of us took a bite of it. It was straight up baked flour--no apples in sight. I grabbed a chunk of the scone and it got crumbs EVERYWHERE. I pinched it between my thumb and pointer finger... It literally crumbled into dust. That's how dry it was. Cupcakes and muffins looked small and sad. A mini cupcake (like the ones you get at Walmart or target for kids birthdays) was $3. The mini loafs looked cute and the sorbet sounded good. The place was cute and chic. Clean and aesthetic. I'm sure people who are gluten, wheat and dairy intolerant will love this place! It's hard finding something accessible, but if you are not gluten intolerant... you'll be very disappointed.

Okayyyy gluten free peeps I see you! Was craving a sandwich and needed one ASAP; luckily, my wonderful husband recommended Pushkin's! Now I was doubtful at first. I can do gluten free desserts, but was wary about the bread part of the sandwich. Pushkin's was so good though! I opted for the "Peppy" and it was just my cup of tea! Sweet from the fig jam, fresh from the veggies! If you like a sweeter sandwich, this is right up your alley. The bread is different than what I'm used to but it did not distract from the overall great and filling sandwich. Solid price point too. Would definitely recommend if you need a sandwich (especially if you're gluten free) and are in the area. Yum!

Super cute gluten-free bakery! We don't get to Sacramento too often, but so far we've been to this bakery at least twice in the last couple of years. We bought a lot of goodies to share with gf family. Everything was delicious and staff was super helpful and nice.

Love Pushkin's! How can gluten free be so yummy? Yes it's possible at Pushkin's. I love their cupcakes and cookies. Have tried their sandwiches too. Cute spot to pick up and go. Parking can be a little tricky.

In a word, WOW! Danny Turner best gluten free baguette ever! And I'm not gluten intolerant but my best friend is. She's visiting from Maine and I stopped by to get some baguettes and sandwich bags. We had the baguette for breakfast and she even explained how delicious it was. Thank you so much for the excellent service when I stopped by. I had ordered an advance at my order was raining. I also got a couple of lemon poppy seed muffin's called Awesome. The bakery on 29th Street was as shiny and pretty as I remember. Cases full of delicious baked goods. Obviously doing a great job - people were waiting for sandwiches and a small line ahead of placing orders. Wish we had Pushkins in Chico.

Went by Pushkin's Bakery for Mother's Day! My mom likes to try vegan treats so I figured this is the perfect spot to pick up breakfast. I was afraid it was going to be really busy and limited parking since it's in Midtown, but I ended up finding a spot pretty easily on the street. There was a bit of a crowd outside the shop and a line inside but it went by super quickly. I probably spent a total of 10 minutes visiting. It's definitely more of a takeout format. They had many options but definitely less vegan options than regular options. They were also out of a few treats, and i arrived about 30 minutes after they opened. Just something to consider! I ended up getting 4 goodies (total $16 ish). I got the blueberry lemon muffin, strawberry cobbler cupcake, cinnamon roll, and apple muffin. All of them were delish! I love that you can tell how fresh they are. Consistency was always fluffy, and the flavor was never too sweet. Perfection. My favorite has to be the apple muffin. Keep in mind, only the blue berry lemon poppy muffin was vegan from my purchase. I look forward to ordering here again and trying more treats!

Heard of this place for a while now and just haven't made it here until now. After a good lunch next door, we wanted a sweet treat - gluten free. The shop is sandwiched between Sacramento Co-op and Revolutionary Wine & Kitchen, also Temple Coffee Roaster. They had so many delicious selections and all gluten free! The staff was patient with me when I was trying to decide what to get and I sounded like a kid in a candy store lol. It would be one of the few times for me to try gluten free baked goods and to my surprise, they did not disappoint. I had a crème filled sandwich cookie. OMG, it was sooooooooooooooooooo good!! You wouldn't be able to tell that it was gluten-free. I savored the cookie while getting a coffee afterwards. I will definitely come back for other baked goods!

Despite Pushkin's popularity and wealth of reviews, I'm not really sure if I could've found this place on my own...literally. Never mind the fact that the address lists 29th St - I'm not sure if I would've found the entrance without doing a lap around the building (I assumed the entrance was on the other side of the building where the Temple Coffee/the parking lot is. Honestly, I blame it on the fact that there wasn't a line out the door, which is something you just get accustomed to seeing outside just about every popular bakery in SF. Then again, I'm not exactly complaining about that either...ha! While they may not be the biggest bakery out there (anywhere, let alone in Sacramento), the full slate of what Pushkin's has to offer is surprisingly extensive. On any given day, the day's offerings will span a varied selection of their full collection of pastries and baked goodies to choose from, such as scones, coffee cakes, cookies, scones, and buns. What's more, they have a variety of sandwiches to offer as well, including both breakfast sandwiches and "lunch" sandwiches with both meat and vegan options. In all, the vast majority of items look really interesting, but what might be especially appealing is they have goodies for folks with dietary restrictions, whether you're vegan, have a gluten sensitivity, and/or have dairy allergies. -- BREAKFAST SANDWICH #2 - Mayo, Green Tangy Dressing, Egg, Ham, and Cheese...$9.99 This was terrific! The ham, egg, and cheese complemented each other perfectly and contrasted well against the dressing (which was only slightly tangy). However, I wish this had some tomato or red onion for some sweet freshness. -- MEYER LEMON COFFEE CAKE...$4.35 A little on the sweet side (there's a fair amount of icing), but this is, easily, my favorite baked item here. The coffee cake is moist and not overly dense/heavy, but what I love most is how much Meyer lemon flavor it has. -- BREAKFAST SANDWICH #1 - Mayo, Pesto, Egg, bacon, Tomato, Avocado, and Spinach...$9.99 Not quite as good as #2, but still very solid. Ironically, this had the reverse issue - while I liked the spinach and thick cuts of tomatoes, I wish there was another slice of bacon to add more meatiness to the sandwich. -- TOASTED ALMOND APPLE CAKE...$4.85 I've had mixed experiences with similar pastries elsewhere, but this one was great! The interior of the cake was a little wet (presumably from the apples), but I liked how well the almond and apple flavors worked together. -- CINNAMON BUN...$3.25 Although the bottom of the bun felt a little overcooked (very dark in color), the taste of this was pretty decent. The wealth of icing certainly helped, but I liked how the bun itself wasn't overly sweet and had a nice hit of cinnamon in it. -- MORNING BUN...$3.25 Honestly, this was very...meh. While it wasn't awful by any means, it wasn't all that interesting ether. The texture was moist, but other than the sliced almonds on top, the bun itself didn't have a strong taste of anything to me. -- NEW YORKER SANDWICH - Salami, Soppressata, Provolone, Onion, Tomato, Pepperoncini, Iceberg Lettuce, Yellow Mustard, and Oregano Vinaigrette...$10.99 The bread didn't do much for me (it fell apart quickly), but hard not to like such classic flavors. Plus, they didn't skimp on the meat, as there was a lot of soppressata and salami. I just wish the veggies didn't make the bread so soggy. One thing that I will say is that across everything I've tried, though more so with regards to the sandwiches, the portion sizes feel a little light. I get why that is the case with the pastries (comparatively small batches), but neither of the breakfast sandwiches felt all that hefty for the money. The same could be said about the New Yorker, but at least that one was packed with salami and mortadella. That said, it's not the biggest complaint, as the ingredients all tasted fresh and tasted of a better quality. While I've managed to try a number of things so far, the one thing I can't speak to are the cupcakes, muffins, or the cakes. However, from the look of them in the display case, they all look pretty appealing (I just tend to gravitate towards their other offerings). Even though Pushkin's isn't exactly in my neighborhood, I'd definitely look to come back for their Meyer Lemon Coffee Cake or one of their breakfast sandwiches, especially now that I know where they are!

We tried 3 different items from this gluten-free bakery (that also has items which are vegan!). The zucchini loaf in particular was delicious. We also had a chocolate cupcake and chocolate chip muffin. All the treats were still moist the day after. The staff was knowledgeable about my food allergy questions. We wish this bakery was closer to home -- the prices were very reasonable for allergen-safe options.

CRIME AGAINST BREAKFAST! My mother and I went to Pushkin's in Roseville on Roseville Parkway on July 9, 2025 at around 9:00 am. The Dan breakfast sandwich was terrible. The scone was super dry. Did not taste fresh. The "No Name" pastry looked good from the case.....looks can be deceiving. Last time I will ever go there. Very disappointing! Only consolation was the latte was very good. NOTE TO MANAGEMENT: please complete some quality assurance protocols. This experience was truly terrible. You lost a customer.

Came there for cookies and a muffin. They had vegan options and they were good. Got their sandwich and loved it, too. Was really fresh and filling. It took a while to make it, but was worth the wait. They have outside sitting, but was full when we visited. The service was nice and helpful.

Amazing!!! I travel for work and I'm always trying to find good gluten free spots. I ordered two sandwiches and some banana bread to bring with me on my flight. All I can say is wow! Both sandwiches were so delicious and I really hope I can make it back to Sacramento sometime just to come back here. It was a beautiful day and there was some seating outside.

Again, this place is fantastic. I actually detoured my road trip a bit just so I could stop here again. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. My favorites were the lemon bar and lemon loaf!

The OG of gluten-free magic! We went to Pushkin's restaurant, Sibling, that morning so had to stop by their bakery on our way out of town. And it was worth it. If I came again, I'd come as early as possible to get a better pick from the bakery items for the day! When we arrived post-lunch around noon, things were really picked over. There was a bit of a line forming but only because the space inside is teeny tiny. This is a takeout only operation - no seating available inside and a few picnic benches outside. But don't worry, the line moves fast! We got: Lemon pound cake Awesomes (lemon poppyseed muffins) Cran Walnut muffin Cowboy cookie Oatmeal cran pecan cookie Banana bread And each dang thing was delicious. Moist, flavorful, well-baked. And gluten free!! If I come back, I'll get a sandwich as well - they looked amazing. Prices were very reasonable for the awesome quality and gluten-free effort.

As someone who enjoys pastries but doesn't have dairy, I'm always worried that the baked goods I eat contain ingredients I can't consume. Luckily, that's not the issue at Pushkin's Bakery as they're dairy, gluten, and wheat free! My best friend and I came in the morning to grab pastries. The bakery is quite small and quaint. Ordering is simple--view the display case and menu, place your order, and pay. The line moves fast since it's takeout only. The workers do a good job juggling the line and are prompt. Looking at the display case, it's like we hit the jackpot! Plenty of classic and specialty cupcakes, scones, cookies, and other baked goods up for grabs. I grabbed two pastries: Orange Cardamom Pound Cake and the Pumpkin Chocolate Coffee Cake. My best friend and got the Toasted Almond Apple Cake. The pound cake was superb--subtle citrus flavor, sweet icing, and a dense yet moist texture. I'd get it again! If you're looking for a family-owned bakery dedicated to being gluten, wheat, and dairy free then make the push to visit Pushkin's Bakery! Their Midtown location is one of two with tasty goodies and free parking in the back lot. I'm grateful my best friend shared this diamond in the rough for vegan and non-vegan customers!

This location is much smaller than their Roseville location. It's just a small bakery case, with a little bit of outdoor seating. I'd recommend the Roseville location over this one if you have the option. I tried the chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll, and no name. The no name was the best of the 3 by a wide margin for me. Delicious bread, great texture, and perfectly sweet. Highly recommend. Chocolate chip cookie could've used a lot more chocolate chips, and a lot more sugar. The texture was also crumbly. Usually a chocolate chip cookie is something I recommend gluten eaters try at gf bakeries because often they taste like the real thing. This one really missed the mark for me, it tasted healthy. The cinnamon roll was ok. Great bread texture but it was really lacking the cinnamon goo that is normally my favorite part of a cinnamon roll. Prices were very reasonable. I liked that a lot of the items were on the small side and on the cheap side compared to other gf bakeries I've been to, so you could try more things. Parking was a little tricky. Lot was crowded and spaces were small. Unfortunately I just can't give my first experience at Pushkins Sacramento a great rating when I'd only recommend or repurchase one of the three items I tried. I've had far better cookies and cinnamon rolls at other gf bakeries. The no name is unique and delicious though. I'd just get several of those if I'm ever in the area again. Update: I originally gave this place 3 stars, but then I had a bite of my bf's brownie that he got, and even though it had been on a 3 hour car ride and then in the fridge for a day, it was excellent. Very dense, chocolatey, and not cakey in the slightest. So, 4 stars overall. Recommend the brownie and the no name. Skip the cookie and the cinnamon roll.

I had an appointment nearby and decided to stop by to get a sandwich for lunch plus some other goodies to go. I ordered a turkey bacon sandwich. They said they ran out of bacon. I was ok with it. The sandwich didn't taste great. The bread was very dry and hard. I've been here before and it is not usually this way. I could not eat the bread after a few bites. I just rolled the lettuce up with everything inside and ate the sandwich that way. I was totally disappointed. The baked goods were pretty good. I brought it home after work to share with my husband. He didn't like the banana cake. I usually love banana cake, but not this one. The mudpie cookie was on the hard side. I get this often. It is usually chewing and really good. It's one of my favorites. The blueberry muffin was really good. It was moist and tasty. The zucchini bread and the crinkle cookie were really good also. My husband's favorite was the crinkle cookie. I was really disappointed with the sandwich and with some of the bake goods. I spent over $40 in this place. Some of the items are on the expensive side for a small little item. I don't ever remember this place being like this.

My family and I were enjoying a meal at a nearby restaurant, when my sister mentioned that her favorite bakery was just a few doors down from us. I had never actually been inside a Pushkin's Bakery before, because my boyfriend had always placed cake orders online and by phone, then picked up the orders on the way to our designated party. After eating brunch, we were interested in purchasing pastries to take home for later. The interior had a small display case with some freshly baked gluten free muffins, cookies and cupcakes. We eagerly splurged and stocked up on muffins and banana bread. I was able to bring them home and freeze for later enjoyment in the days ahead. As I mentioned before, my sister has to avoid gluten and dairy, or else! So it's reassuring to know that Pushkin's Bakery is available for the dietary restricted, and offers a variety of delicious baked goods that satisfy any sweet tooth without gastrointestinal discomfort later...

When you make a mistake on someone's sandwich and they paid more for avocado, giving them a sliver of avocado the next time don't make it right. I ordered my sandwich with avocado. You gave me the wrong sandwich + it didn't have avocado on it. I can't come right back. I was on my way to work. After taking a few bites I realize this is not what I ordered, but it's all I have to eat. I called the next day since I ate my/someone else's sandwich and you were already closed, and you offered me some avocado on my next sandwich or a refund for the avocado? NO you gave me the whole wrong sandwich, offer me a sandwich. Yes I ate the sandwich you gave me but I did not order it. It was all I had to eat at 10:00pm I had nothing else to eat. Hopefully the other person that got my sandwich with extra avocado enjoyed it. Hopefully not replacing my sandwich was worth it. I will just go to Trader Joe's for my gluten free stuff for now on.

Mmmm... I've finally discovered Pushkin's. They have gluten-free and vegan offerings on their menu, including baked goods. - Barracuda chocolate cupcake - this was delicious. Frosting is piled on high, but it's light and fluffy. - Zucchini bread - was very spiced compared to any other zucchini bread I've ever had, but in a good way. - chocolate raspberry coffee cake - this one was just ok imo. - Portobello Cruzer sandwich was so good! I can't wait to return to try their other offerings. Parking made easy - I stopped first at the Natural Foods Co-op next door and made this my 2nd stop.

I ordered ahead for my cupcakes & I loved all of them! I appreciate them holding them a little longer than my pick up time! They are the mini cupcakes & they come in a set of 4 each. French Toast, Strawberry, & Pecan. They looked amazing & they are the perfect size! I also tried their mud cookie, super big & also very delicious. Super small bakery but they are the best! They also have sandwiches too, which I will have to come back for & try! The workers are lovely & welcoming from when you come in. They have a small outdoor area where you can come & sit.

Cute place. The food is pretty good. I got some sandwiches and some baked sweet treats. The desserts were delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. The sandwiches were ok, however, the avocado in my sandwich was brown and when I opened it up, it looked like it was a purposely rotten avocado in both of the sandwiches we got. Not a great look. Everyone was very kind but probably wouldn't come back.

Pushkin's Bakery in Midtown is a cute bakery close to the 80-freeway specializing in gluten free and dairy free baked goods. Inside is a quaint room, where you are greeted with a display case of their daily pastries and can catch a glimpse of employees in the backroom busy at work. I really enjoy their Green Turkey and #3 breakfast sando, as they have a good balance of greens, protein, and the gluten-free bread. Today, I ordered the Smoked Salmon, which I feel is their take on the classic cream cheese, salmon, and bagel flavor combination. The sandwich had a little less smoked salmon than I would prefer but tasted refreshing with the cucumbers and greens. If you are visiting for the first time, I would note that there is no seating inside. Outside of the bakery, there are 3 tables with umbrellas for seating. On the weekends during busy hours, plan to take/eat your food to go. Additionally, they do not serve any drinks or coffee at the Midtown location. A classic move is to grab a coffee nearby at Temple Coffee or the Pachamana Coffee in the Co-op to enjoy with your food! When it is busy, expect to wait up to 10-15 minutes.

Impressed! This was our first time here and we chose this bakery based on the positive Yelp reviews! We ordered a few pastries to go and most of what we chose were so tasty! I highly recommend the lemon loaf! Not too sweet of a cake generously topped with sweet icing! As well as the mud pie cookie! It tastes like a brownie...but better? It has an ooey gooey cookie in the middle and a crunchy almost meringue exterior. The mixed berry cobbler was also very good with tart berry filling and a buttery crust. I think this would've tasted even better warmed up! This place would have deserved a 5 star review had it not been for that cupcake. We got the cookies and cream one and it was just odd. The taste was off and not very sweet and the icing was too fluffy for cupcake icing with not enough flavor. The cake itself was moist and it overall was presented well but I wouldn't order it again. And based on other reviews maybe I'll refrain from ordering cupcakes here. All in all this bakery deserves a visit if you haven't been!Delicious baked goods in a lovely location near the co-op and temple. With outdoor seating available and friendly service. We have yet to try the sandwiches but look forward to in the near future!

Grab a quick pastry that is gluten free and vegan from our favorite shop! Love the scones and the cupcakes here!

We stopped on our way to the airport. 3 people in our group avoid gluten and wheat products for health reasons and we have all tried various places throughout the years. I regret not having tried a sandwich while we were there, they all looked great. We tried 9 different items. My favorites by far were the cinnamon bun and pound cake. Even Mom thought everything was great and asked how they could make products gluten, dairy and soy free. If you get the chance, check this place out.

I called ahead to order half-dozen vegan/gluten-free cupcakes for some of our family members who don't eat traditional desserts. The person on the phone was pleasant and boxed up what I needed so it was ready for me when I came a couple hours later to pick it up. The cupcakes are nicely decorated and cost $5 each. Parking is a little difficult. I parked at the Natural Foods Co-op since I knew I wouldn't be long. The bakery is fairly small and it was a little crowded when I went in. They make sandwiches to order so there isn't much room to wait. Standing room only.

I've been on a temporary gluten-free dairy-free diet which is pretty challenging. So I am very thankful for Pushkin's! Such a foodie life saver to fulfil my cravings. I've already been back a few times. Their gluten-free vegan pastries, cakes, and cookies are amazing! Everything I have tried so far tasted great. My absolute favorite is the Crinkle Cookie! I want these Crinkle Cookies even if I'm not on this diet! I'd desribe them as soft brownie-ish cookie deliciousness covered in powdered sweet goodness haha. My next favs were the Banana Walnut Bread and then the Toasted Almond Apple Cake! Everything freshly baked omg so good. Morning Bun was pretty good. Chocolate Chip & Mudpie Cookies were okay. Carrot Cupcake I liked the least, I didn't love the icing. I still ate and enjoyed it all though. It's better than no sweet treats at all. You have to be careful when looking at all the yummy baked goods because you'll want to pick everything! Before you know it the total price can really add up really quickly. Thank you Pushkin's for the little bit of happiness you've provided by making delicious gluten-free and vegan goods. I plan to try out a sandwich next and check out the other Pushkin spots.

Complete disappointment. Got a $17. Sandwich and it wasn't even what I ordered. I gave them a call to let them know it was the wrong sandwich and that I was on my way out of town and when I went back a few days later they said they nothing about it? The Guy just completely dismissed me, And started helping other customers.

A gluten-free girlies dream. I lived around the corner from their bakery for 3.5 years. I miss them already. My partner went there every weekend to get me their delicious blueberry coffee cake, lemon loaf, and sometimes a chocolate chip cookie. I love this place. The service is always outstanding, no matter who helps you. The ambiance is so cute; it's a tiny tiny bakery on the edge of Sacramento. But it's just delicious and to die for. I miss it. I love this place. Cannot recommend it enough!!!

Best gluten-free bakery on the planet hands-down! I have been coming here for almost a decade I can't believe I haven't reviewed this business yet. Everything I get here is to die for. A lot of the times you can't tell it's gluten-free baking and I can fool the kids lol Everyone who works here is super sweet. I love the bakery and the restaurant and I'm so happy they are expanding to more locations.

The sandwiches at pushkin's are perfect for to-go breakfast or lunch! Their service is super fast even when there's a long line. Some people might be intimidated by the gluten free bread, but I absolutely love it and I'm not even gluten free! The vibes are so cute and this will always be one of my go tos.

Not many gluten and dairy free places in Sacramento but I am so happy we have Pushkins. I have had a lot of their pastries and love any cake item. The loaf cakes and cupcakes taste indistinguishable from a gluten cake. If blindfold I would not be able to tell the difference. I also really like their sandwiches. A good one stop shop for breakfast or lunch.

I ordered two cakes at Christmas - one for my son and one was a gift for someone for Happy New Year. I have always heard wonderful things about Pushkins so I wanted to try the gluten free style cakes. The bill was over $100.00 and both cakes were inedible. Both parties that I bought the cakes for threw them away. They looked beautiful and tasted horrid. They had no flavor at all except for a bad taste. I am sad for such a bad result as the staff is so sweet and its a great place.

Pushkin's has the most amazing gluten free bread I've ever had and I normally don't like gluten free. I love their vegetarian Bahn mi - my second fave in Sacramento. They offer another veggie sandwich as well and a handful of meat based sammies too. Aside from sandwiches you gotta get something sweet bc they have awesome cookies, cupcakes, and brownies too. You really can't beat their cupcakes though. And I don't even have a problem with gluten used to think baked goods made without flour were missing something until I met Pushkins. This place uses some type of magic bc no matter what I've tried it's always delicious. I actually prefer their baked goods over most bakeries in town bc they don't overload their products with sugar either. Small space with some outdoor tables- perfect for take out or a casual lunch. Def put this little gem on your go to list to satisfy your cupcake craving.

Friendly employees and awesome gluten free pastries! We went on a Saturday at around 3:00. It wasn't busy at all but there was a consistent flow of people coming in and out. We got 2 cupcakes (churros and cappuccino), both delicious. Also got the oatmeal cookies with the cream in the middle, not sure the exact name, it was awesome. Cinnamon roll was good. Mudpie cookie was ok. Also got the burnt almond apple cake, it was dry and there was like only 1 piece of an apple bite inside. Overall it was great for being 100% gluten free! I'll be back!

Dang, great pumpkin bread loaf! This is our first leg to try out their other places. Apparently you have to another location to try their donuts. We will also try their restaurant. We lucked out with sunny weather and a little bite of nippy cold. Perfect for eating outside. FYI. Parking ain't the easiest to find around the bakery. My celiac partner rates her sandwich as a strong A. She got the hammer sandwich. Will return with an update on the other places
