This California Farm Market Is A Local Favourite For Affordable Fall Produce

Some of the pumpkins here can grow to around 1,000 pounds. That’s heavier than a grand piano, and they share a patch with more than 40 other varieties. The best part might be the price of admission. Entry to the pumpkin patch is free, and so are the corn maze and the straw pyramid.

Cinnamon Roll Cafe Preparing to Open in Midtown Sacramento

Cinnapop Cafe is preparing to open at 611 16th St. in Midtown Sacramento, with a soft opening planned for November. The cafe is owned by husband-and-wife team Tola Vong and Chhayleang Tang, who began selling their baked treats from a pop-up tent at Sacramento farmers markets earlier this summer. The cafe is small, at about 500 square feet, so the couple is focused on making it feel warm and homey, like a place where customers can walk in and feel at home. Their goal is for the cinnamon rolls to taste homemade.

Sacramento-area salad, rice bowl restaurant to open second location in Roseville

With its beginnings in Elk Grove, a salad and rice bowl restaurant is launching its second location after several months of business. Bohl, which specializes in healthy-food options, is opening a new restaurant at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville. The location will open in 2027, according to its instagram. The business is owned by Hailey and Kyle Garret, a married couple who used to run Dutch Bros Coffee franchises in Northern California. The two have been business owners since 2015 and decided to open their own restaurant, they said in an online post. “Through it all, we longed for a place that was fast, customizable, and made with real, high-quality ingredients —a spot where we could eat often and actually feel good about it,” the couple wrote. “But we couldn’t find exactly what we were looking for. So, we decided to create it ourselves.” The Garrets open the first Bohl at 9257 Laguna Springs Drive in March. The Garrets wrote that Bohl was “born out of (their) love for bold flavors (and) fresh food.” One of its signature salads is its “lettuce enter the dragon” bowl with chopped romaine, cucumbers, spicy broccoli, kimchi, grilled chicken and shredded carrots dressed in

New dessert place in downtown Davis serves Thai toast, other sweet Asian treats

Mango sticky rice crepe, Hokkaido milk crepe cakes, and tea lattes are all sugary delectables at courtesy of a new dessert spot in Davis. Naya Dessert Cafe is serving the sweet goods at 620 Fourth St. in downtown Davis. The business specializes in Thai-inspired desserts and is the first and only location in the Sacramento area. The Davis location, which officially opened in October, offers a menu that includes cake, toast, crepes, ice cream, drinks and Bingsu, a creamy Korean shaved ice made from frozen milk and condensed milk. The business’s signature sweets are its Mango Tango Bingsu, Black Thai Tea crepe, Thai Tea crepe cake, and a chocolate lava cake with salted egg cream custard inside and served with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. What truly separates Naya Dessert Cafe is its toast dessert. Unlike the traditional flat American toast, Thai toast is a thicker bread that towers over a scoop of ice cream and fresh fruit. With butter glazed on the bread’s edges, Thai toast is sweet, fluffy and served with a flavored cream drizzle. Toasts include: the “Kaya Toasted” with pandan sauce, coconut shaving, sliced banana and vanilla ice cream, the “Golden Toasted” with fresh strawberries,
