Faria Bakery - Sacramento

Few times I've visited to pick up bread. I can say I've baked better. The bread was overbaked and charred. Literally hard to bite into. I wanted to give this place a try but every time I go its the same result. I see the same in other review photos. Some people feel its ok to eat? Its charred and functions like a brick.PS. Very professional response. That would surely make people feel better about visiting your bakery. Definitely sharing the amusing interaction. Hahah. Good luck.

My first visit was this morning. The staff were friendly, the bakery was clean. The food and coffee is delicious! I bought the potato and onion quiche with a side salad, a rye bread round, and a coco latte ? . All was fresh, my first visit, not my last ?

The hot cross bun were my favorite. Chocolate walnut cookie was my least favorite since I didn’t know it was dark chocolate. The bakery items aren’t really soft more so flaky.

This bakery is really good, they have the best croissants and coffee in Sacramento! I’m French and I know what a good croissant is! I went there on a day that they were closed but this guy named Mahbod gave me some pastries because I came from a long way! Thank you!

Wandering around the Oak Park neighborhood on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I happened upon Faria Bakery. Immediately taken by the bakery's homey interior and stepped in without hesitation. Faria Bakery is a true Sacramento gem which got its start right in the heart of Oak Park and has since expanded to two brick and mortar locations in Oak Park and Folsom, while still attending neighborhood farmer's markets as well. For those who want some hands on experiences, Faria Bakery also offers classes at both of their locations.I'll also mention that the bakery's only open from 8am to 3pm, so if you go a little later in the day (as I did around 2pm or so) then it may be slim pickings (but to be honest I didn't mind at all). I ended up going home with a miso loaf and a pistachio rose lychee cup (which intrigued by the flavors alone). The miso loaf is crafted with their housemade chickpea miso, brown rice porridge and crusted with toasted sesame seed, which together makes for a rich, savory, earthy bite. I personally paired my miso loaf with avocado making for a wonderful breakfast meal. The pistachio rose lychee cup is a croissant cup with pistachio filling in the middle topped with a rose lychee cream. Although I am a fan of floral notes in my pastries and desserts, I do have to admit the rose lychee cream was almost overwhelming. You could very clearly discern the rose; however, it overpowered the lychee. However, when you take a bite of the pastry together, the cream does provide a nice accompaniment to the butter, flaky croissant cup overall a delicious bite nonetheless.If you enjoy fresh artisan bread and want to support a local Sacramento business, then Faria Bakery might just be your new favorite bread spot. Without a doubt, when I find myself in the Oak Park area, Faria Bakery will be one of my stops.
