Freeport is famous in Sac, so I'll keep it short and say it's well-deserved. All of the individual items I've had, like scones, cake pops, and breads, are excellent and worth the money/calories/etc. Their cakes are also both delicious and beautiful. I got my latest holiday dessert here (their fruit basket cake. So good), and I even got a custom wedding cake here that was incredibly tasty, and came at an excellent price.

If you've never had a custom cake done, I highly recommend doing it here. I don't know if this is standard, but we actually got to sit down with one of their cake artists and plan it out. We gave them notes about what we wanted it to look like, the layers and flavors, and they talked with us about the logistics of the decorations, what would be painted on, what could be 3D, etc. They even had a notebook of color palettes for the frosting to help pick something out that looks good but isn't too bitter.

I don't go often because while it's worth the price, it's not a price I can afford all the time, and their storefront is also definitely not big enough for the amount of foot traffic they get (make sure you enter on the *left* to maintain the flow). Despite these small hindrances Freeport Bakery is well worth a visit if you want excellent bakery fare.
