Midtown Bakery

You'll have to do a little hunting to find Midtown Bakery because it's tucked into the basement of an old victorian on the corner of 23rd and J. I think you'll be happy if you do, the pastries are delicious.During my visit, I ordered a corn muffin, brown butter chocolate chip cookie, and a lemon bar which came to $13.00. They also offer tasty looking treats like brownies, cakes, and coconut macaroons. I'm giving the corn muffin 5 stars because it was moist, had a nice texture, and was cooked with bacon, cheese, and jalapeños in it. I also give the chocolate chip cookie 5 stars because it was rich, crisp on the edges, soft in the middle, and was loaded with chocolate chips. Last but not least, I rate the lemon bar with 5 stars, because it had an excellent crust, creamy lemon custard on top, and just the right amount of sweetness. I have to say, their chef can really bake! Don't be discourage if there's a line at the door and you have to wait outside for a few minutes, The interior is tiny, and it's a popular, so it fills up fast. It's well worth it though. Midtown Bakery may be small on the inside, but big it's big on flavor.

This place has so many tasty things! Can't brag about it enough. We got maybe 8 different items to try and they were all solid! Oreo cheesecake was my top 2. Top 1 is probably the french puff. So unique. I have some dessert loving friends that I knew I had to buy some french puffs for. Owner always serving it up with a great attitude. Recommend coming early! as items may run out. We showed up at around 11AM on a Sunday and we got the last lemon square. Only downside is only street parking that you have to hunt for- but that is worth it in my book anyday! Anytime I'm in downtown sac on a weekend this will be on my list of places to stop by.

Such a cute place! It's super small that's run by a husband and wife. We got their cinnamon roll, french puffs, coffee cake, and their savory muffin which had corn, jalapeño, bacon, and cheddar. Everything was delicious!! The French puffs pretty much melt in your mouth. It's a must try. Their cinnamon roll and coffee cake were both so good. The frosting on the roll is cream cheese frosting which is my favorite and the coffee cake is made with real coffee. I definitely recommend getting their savory muffin since it was so nice and light. All of this was $21.80 but the husband working was nice enough to give us two French puffs for free!!Apparently every Monday they make biscuits so I'll definitely want to come back to try those. A must try shop!

I wish I had pictures but we didn't even have time to take pictures! The gave me a fork and I began to dig in as soon as I got to the car. This has to be one of the best bakeries I've been to in Sac. The banana bread is amazing and the Oreo cheesecake is as delicious. Everything tastes like it is home in the best way possible and I can't say that about any other spot.

Biscuit Mondays at Midtown bakery! I finally got a chance to try one of their highly- rated Southern Biscuit sandwiches on my Monday off of work last week. Keep in mind that Biscuit Mondays only happen on Mondays from 7-9AM so it's always a good idea to check their instagram page for updates before heading over to the bakery on a Monday. I've often heard that they sale out of the biscuit sandwiches, so I was excited to see that they now offer the option to pre-order the biscuit sandwiches. I made sure to place my order, the day prior on a Sunday morning. When ordering online, you select a pick up time, the type of biscuit and you are able to select meat options. They offer a blueberry biscuit or plain biscuit. The bakery also sales cold brew on Mondays too. I ended up ordering two plain biscuit sandwiches with egg/ cheese only and a cold brew. There was a line out the door, when I arrived the next day to pick up my order at 8:30AM. While waiting in line, a gentleman came outside and asked if anyone had preorders. I gave him my name and he returned promptly with my order. We waited in line less than 5 mins which was nice. The gentleman who helped us was polite and friendly. He also offered me cream for the cold brew. The bakery is definitely a grab and go type of place. While the bakery does have two small side tables (standing only) that are attached to a fence on the side of the building, my mother and I decided to take our biscuits to go so we could enjoy them while sitting down. The southern biscuit sandwich was very good. It reminded me of the homemade biscuits that my grandmother makes. Midtown Bakery's biscuit was fluffy, chewy on the inside and crisp, golden brown on the top. My mom and I were both surprised at how filling the sandwich was. I'm looking forward to returning to this small, Black- Owned family bakery to try some of their desserts!!

This place is amazing. They bake everything fresh and you can smell it when u walk in. I have gotten the cheesecake at least thrice now. Also the blueberry muffins are amazing, but don't eat them in bed...Brownies are fantastic but don't try to devour one without milk.

Such a cute bakery! We stopped in on a Saturday (they're only open Monday, Saturday and Sunday) and since it was early afternoon they were already sold out of a lot of items. From reviews and personal experience it's best to go when they first open for the best variety. We ended up buying a lemon bar and a brownie. Both were delicious when we enjoyed them back at home. I also liked that they have some cute little tables attached to the fence in case you want to enjoy your treats right away.The building itself is so cute and the entrance is under an awning with a beautiful tree with flowers. Inside is pretty small, you may be able to have five customers in there at a time.I'll have to stop by again earlier in the morning to try more of their items.

Hands down the BEST cheesecake in the world & best bakery. I'm tempted not to leave a review because I don't want everything sold out!

It was my wife and i first time visiting this bakery. We had such a nice experience with the gentleman behind the front counter. He was friendly and generous. We bought a strawberry cake and cheddar bacon muffin. Since he found out it was our first time there, he was generous enough to give us 2 free cinnamon sugar french puff. Everything didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh, soft and tasty. Intially, i did have my hesitation about how good they were going to be bc they visually looked dry, but i was wrong. They were all soft. I would come back here again esp for those muffins. Great pastries and customer service.

I have been trying to get here after seeing them on Instagram and today was it! I had my sons with me and got a few cookies - molasses and ginger cookie peanut butter cookie and chocolate chip pecan. I have had their goodies via friends so I know it would be great. The place is super small but super cute and neat. The ambiance is sweet and I felt it was calming and magical at the same time. In short a great vibe! The cookies were to die for and one of my sons who loves peanut butter cookies told me it was better than the ones I make! Really good compliment. The prices are really reasonable and cakes sold as whole or by slice is really wonderful. Come here! Your tummy will be happy!
