Freeport Bakery is to Sacramento what cheese steak is to Philly. It is a staple for every Sacrament-an and a must stop if you are passing through.

The potato knishes are out of this world and the lemon cooler cake in all it?s sour packed pucker goodness is a must try.

Grateful Bread

The instant you step foot into Grateful Bread, the smells slaps you in the face, in a good way. For lack of a better way to say this, it makes you want to lick the walls, seriously. The menu is full of surprises, bread, cinnamon rolls, huge cookies, and muffins are bountiful, you can't stop at just one of anything. In the wise words of Jerry Garcia, "You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do," and Grateful Bread does just that!

Remember when you went to the wharf in San Francisco, and got a nice hunk of ACME bread? Me too. Now you don?t have to drive a hundred miles out of the way to get it either, thanks to Roseville Bread Company. If you want to compliment your fancy gourmet dinner and blow your friends socks off, make sure to make a pit stop at RBC.
