How did I not know about this bakery:

76. Midtown Bakery: 998 23rd Street, looks yummy! Between J and I Streets.

I was at Ginger Elizabeth Chocolatier and Bakery on J Street looking for their awesome almond pastries when they told me they ceased baking pastries and breakfast items, so they stirred me to Midtown Bakery. Ginger Elizabeth still bakes cupcakes, maccaroons, cookies, etc, just not breakfast baked items. Of Course, they still make their famous artisanal chocolates!

Arigato Japanese restaurant is really good

1608 Howe Ave
Sacramento, CA 95825

Just read that Sacramento is getting a location of Fogo de Chao, certainly a chain restaurant but one usually reserved for big metro areas, as it is upscale and pricey. I think it'll be a nice addition to the overall mix. Most impressive is that Sacramento area restaurants have garnered Michelin stars at this point

The High End Restaurant industry follow the demographics.

So the high-end chain type restaurants - Fogo de Chao - are partial to Sacramento's upper-end/monied suburbs like Roseville and Folsom.

Central Sac - East Sacramento, Downtown & Midtown Sac, and Land Park neighborhoods attract the stand alone, non-chain high-end restaurants.

Davis is similar in income/demographics to Folsom and Roseville and can totally support the high-end chains like Fogo de Chao, but its political ideology is like Central Sac so they pretty much shoo-away those high-end chains.
