Pastry Cat

Best ham and cheese croissant in Sacramento hands down. Given the regional competition this is high praise. The croissant dough is flaky and the ham and cheese are generously portioned and well seasoned. We tried a few other pastries and all were delicious. From savory sausage scones to flaky almond yuzu croissants everything was delicious and meticulously prepared. Expect to wait in line as word is getting out about how good this food is. On Saturdays they are located inside Offbeat coffee as a pop-up. Seating and ambiance are pretty typical coffee shop. Brave the line and you won't be disappointed, this is phenomenal food they is clearly made with love.

!!Hot Take Alert!! *Best* laminated pastries in the Sac area. The bountiful thin and crispy layers in the ham & cheese pain suisse and the kimchi cheese danish.....pheeew. Taste-wise, I'd say the pastries here are pretty above average based on my whole haul. Love how fermented the kimchi is on the kimchi cheese danish (though wished that the kimchi was cut into smaller pieces as for each bite I felt like I was removing a whole chunk on top of the pastry lol). The ham in the ham & cheese pain suisse is a bit sweet for my liking but if you like honey ham you'd enjoy it.Calamansi almond croissant is twice-baked-style, which is my favorite style of croissant, so bonus points from me. Scrumptiously buttery and crispy. Could've used slightly less calamansi curd filling as it's on the really rich side.Heavenly glaze on the persimmon pecan scone! I prefer this scone over the shiitake bacon cheese scone, which is also tasty but I'm not fully on board with the gummy texture of the shiitake mushroom slices in it.Sobadoodle cookie got its name because one of its ingredients is buckwheat flour, which is also used to make soba noodles. Aside from that, pretty standard chewy snickerdoodle-like cookie.--------------Currently operating at Majka Pizzeria & Bakery in Sac midtown typically on Saturdays from 9 am until sell out (I went around 10 am and it looked there was still a good amount of pastries available). Rotating pastry menu offerings. Check Instagram (@thepastrycat916) for up-to-date details.

Only open on Saturday! Must follow Cats's instagram to make sure if they are going to open their shop! We were addicted to canele and found out that they sell them! Did not disappoint, they were so good! They had the OG vanilla rum and the Thai milk te, both delicious! Price points were reasonable! Definitely will stop by if we were in the area. Make sure to early, they open from 9am to 12p, sell out quickly!

Best pastries and desserts I've had in so long! I am always craving their pastries and looking forward to their popups every Saturday! This is truly a wonderful experience.

I've been going to Pastry Cat's pop up for the past year at Majika and their so nice and their food is so good! Sometimes I get kinda depressed if I find myself waking up late because they will sell out. I wish I took more pictures but I ate it all before I could. My favorite thing to get from Pastry cat are definitely the cream cheese buns and the donuts.

I've had the pleasure of catching Pastry Cat at various popups over the years and she never disappoints. I love the unique flavor combinations she creates for her beautifully crafted pastries!! On this most recent visit I caught her at one of her usual spots inside of Majka Bakes on Saturdays, and I was excited to try her version of the Korean garlic cream cheese buns. It was super stuffed and didn't skimp on the cream cheese, and I liked the texture of the crumbs on top. Her mini brioche donuts were also delicious, and I liked the flavors she used this time with calamansi red currant, and white peach blueberry! She always has a great variety of options so make sure to try out multiple things whenever you see her!

The best assortment of pastries in town! Quality ingredients, presentation, and taste speak for themselves.

I finally got to try Pastry Cat this morning at a popup Scorpio coffee. Oh my goodness! Everything was so good. Hubby said it was the best focaccia he's ever had. I really enjoyed the coconut calamansi bostock and the donuts. After this experience, I'm positive that everything they make is magical. I find myself checking their Instagram regularly to find out where their next popup will be. Needless to say, I highly recommend Pastry Cat.

I was really excited to try this place out but was a bit disappointed. 50% of the items were good and the other 50% weren't. I got a vanilla rum canelé and the outside was very crunchy but the inside was not very custard like. I also got the yuzu creamsicle panna cotta which was very good!My cousin got the cinnamon roll and the filled donut holes. She said the icing on the cinnamon roll was quite good and had hints of orange, but the roll itself was quite dry so she was a bit disappointed in it as a whole. But she said the donut holes were amazing. Service was very friendly and efficient. Parking was bad since it is in the middle of downtown. Small interior since it is a pop up location. Prices were a bit high for me personally. Total for all 4 items of one canelé ($4), yuzu creamsicle panna cotta ($10), cinnamon roll ($6), donut holes ($7.50) was $27.50 today on March 9, 2024.

I finally made it to one of the pop-ups. There were plenty of options and these treats are the ones I chose: Earl Grey Flan, Genimacha Blueberry Coconut Verrine, Spiced Pear Jam Almond Croissant, and Matcha Yuzu Almond. I enjoy tea flavored desserts and was excited to try the goods. The flan was my favorite. The exterior of the croissant was good- flaky. As for the verrine, I didn't like the honey lemon gelee. I also didn't taste much matcha in the cookie as it was more on the citrusy side. I look forward to trying more sweets next time.
