Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie is a true Sacramento favorite, where quality and craftsmanship are evident in every bite. As you step inside, you’ll discover a world where traditional French baking techniques meet California’s farm-fresh ingredients, creating something truly special for our community. Let’s discuss what makes this East Sacramento staple a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike.

Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie began as the passion project of owner Esther Son, whose love for pastries dates back to her childhood. Rather than eating her packed lunch at school, she would often stop by local bakeries to savor madeleines instead. This early fascination with baked goods eventually blossomed into what is now one of Sacramento’s most cherished French-inspired establishments. Though not professionally trained, Son’s natural talent and creativity have made her the driving force behind Estelle’s distinctive offerings.

What sets Estelle apart in East Sacramento’s culinary landscape is its unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. Every item is made fresh daily on-site using the finest local ingredients available. The bakery’s charming, warmly lit interior creates an atmosphere that transports visitors straight to a cozy café. Son’s dedication to her craft has resulted in a loyal following among locals who appreciate the care and attention that goes into each loaf of bread and delicate pastry that emerges from Estelle’s ovens.

The menu at Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie showcases an impressive array of artisanal breads that would make any French baker proud. Their French baguettes, with their crisp exterior and soft, airy interior, are available daily and serve as the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

For sourdough enthusiasts, Estelle offers not just traditional sourdough but creative variations, including cheese sourdough and olive sourdough, available every day of the week. Special varieties like cranberry pecan batard, black sesame sourdough, and the unique lemon thyme sourdough rotate throughout the week, giving regulars something new to look forward to.

Beyond their outstanding bread selection, Estelle delights customers with a tempting variety of French pastries and brunch options. Their all-day brunch menu includes classics like French toast and quiche served with a side salad. For lunch, patrons can enjoy tartines (open-faced sandwiches served on their fresh sourdough) along with hearty soup and salad combinations.

No visit would be complete without sampling their decadent macarons and pastries, which showcase Son’s artistic flair and commitment to authentic French techniques. For special occasions, Estelle also offers large cakes available for pre-order, making any celebration a little sweeter.

Estelle Bakery & Pâtisserie has expanded beyond its East Sacramento roots to include three convenient locations throughout the area. The Arden location at 2530 Arden Way serves as the flagship store in Sacramento proper, while downtown residents and workers can visit the DOCO location at 615 David J. Stern Walk. Those in Davis can enjoy Estelle’s offerings at 2710 5th Street. All three locations maintain consistent hours, opening their doors every day from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, making it easy to satisfy your French pastry cravings whenever they arise.
