Karen's Bakery - Folsom, California

A friend recommended we try this place. It was a rainy day so we sat inside (They have a nice little patio!) and it was a little busy but we were able to find a table. I tried the orange mocha and it was absolutely fabulous!! My avocado toast was so delicious and had a variety of flavor notes. We wish the bear claw had more of a true almond paste inside, but it was still really good. I want to tell the world about how amazing this little places is, but then it would get too crowded and really I just want to keep it all for myself. 😉

We had heard about this place and decided to check it out ourselves. Frankly speaking, we didn't like it. Buying breakfast for almost $30 and getting a plate half full of fried potatoes🤣 It was funny. The guys are obviously big and they don't have enough people, the waitress girls are standing around chatting calmly about how their Friday party went, while the customers are sitting and waiting for 20 minutes for coffee. Coffee! Waiting for the food to cook is ok. But 20 minutes for coffee🤦‍♀️ They brought me a sandwich with burnt bacon and a bunch of potatoes. Oh, I already talked about them🤣 In general, these guys win with their location. But not with delicious food, or pleasant service, or a cozy atmosphere. I think they need an upgrade.

Very cool place!!!! Will be back but bring the family!!! Ham and cheese croissant was sooo good! Perfect coffee, and the blackberry sour cream muffin was amazing!!! Salads and sandwiches looked beautiful!!! January 2025!!!

I am a bit of a scone aficionado and I always try to locate the best scones anywhere I go! The scones at this place are S TIER: huge size, big variety, unique flavors, cakey texture, toppings, not cloyingly sweet. I can confidentially say that these are the best scones in the greater Sacramento area and I've probably tried dozens lmao. 11/10 my favorite was maple but they are all good af

I hadn't been here for quite a while, but needed a pie for "PI" day, so I stopped in on this rainy day. Karen's was bustling with activity. I had a chance to look in the display windows while I was waiting and now I can't wait to make a date to go back and eat. Yummy choices!!
BTW, the triple berry pie was delicious! (Also got a rhubard-raspberry pie for our daughter's family)!

The food is fine. I got the eggs and Avocado toast, it was okay.. not any better than what I have had at the nearby hotel. Very pricey too.

The service is pretty good but could be a little improved.

What saves this place is the pastries! They are amazing! Some of the best I have ever eaten. I love their bear claw. Keep doing that well and improve the food and I’d give 5 stars.

The food is amazing and 100% fresh. You can taste it. The service and atmosphere is wonderful. Highly recommend this place.

This is a wonderful spot to enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch or just dessert.
The service was kind. The baked goods are delicious and the atmosphere is welcoming and quaint.
The portions on our breakfast were large and the food was not only delicious, but the presentation was a feast for the eyes.
The outdoor patio offers a quieter, more intimate atmosphere than the bustle of the indoor cafe.
This was a wonderful find, just off of Sutter Street.
