Cakes at Freeport Bakery

December 14th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Sacramento, Travels / Leave A Comment

Freeport Bakery is supposedly the best bakery in Sacramento. I got to try their carrot cake and their tiramisu. Both were great, though nothing worth driving miles for if you’re not from the area. The carrot cake was moist and the tiramisu was rich, though I’ve had better. I hear the fruit basket cake and [...]

Mochi and Manju at Osaka-Ya

December 14th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Food, Japanese, Sacramento, Travels / Leave A Comment

It seems every major city has its own mochi and manju shop, and Sacramento is no different. Unlike other places I’ve been to (Benkyodo in San Francisco, Fugetsu-Do in Los Angeles, and Hogetsu Bakery in San Diego), though, the mochi and manju from Osaka-Ya in Sacramento are huge. At $1.10 a piece and at that [...]

French Desserts at Le Petit Paris

December 14th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Coffee & Drinks, Dessert, Food, Sacramento, Travels / Leave A Comment

I can’t say I was impressed at all by the sweets at Le Petit Paris: The creme brulee was way too thick, going towards JELL-O texture (slightly exaggerating), and the macarons were not on par with other places that I’ve tried, or more specifically, Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates’ French macarons, right around the corner. However, Le [...]

Must Eat Chocolate Confections and Pastries at Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates

December 13th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Must Eat, Sacramento, Travels / 1 Comment

After plunging through Sacramento in a day, I have to say – Ginger Elizabeth Chocolates is the cream of the crop when it comes to richness and decadence. (I even went to Jackie’s holiday party later and everyone knew of it.) Chocolates, cakes, macarons, cookies and more. Two things that Helen and I loved when [...]

Must Eat Squeeze with Cheese Burger at Squeeze Inn

December 13th, 2009 by Jonas / Filed under American, Food, Must Eat, Sacramento, Travels / Leave A Comment

It’s amazing how much the average Sacramento citizen can eat when they eat at Squeeze Inn. Squeeze Inn is known for their Squeeze with Cheese burger, which is a big cheese burger with a cheese skirt, as seen above. A lot of people will order that, or often times a double, plus a large order [...]
