Pushkin's Bakery

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.

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!

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.

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!

I remember my mom picking items up from here as a kid and loving them and I'm happy to say... I still love them!! Ain't nothing like a vegan, gluten free chocolate cupcake

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!

Everything gluten-free. And delicious.Outside seating available. The location complements the other businesses around - coffee, wine, co-op

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...$9.99This 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...$4.35A 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...$9.99Not 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...$4.85I'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...$3.25Although 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...$3.25Honestly, 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...$10.99The 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!

Grab a quick pastry that is gluten free and vegan from our favorite shop! Love the scones and the cupcakes here! I picked up 4 cupcakes for a party last minute and they had a variety of cupcakes available and service was quick! The place is small but works for the location. The outdoor seating is always nice!

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.
