"Wandering around the Oak Park neighborhood on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I happened upon Faria Bakery. Immediately taken by the bakery's homey interior and stepped in without hesitation. Faria Bakery is a true Sacramento gem which got its start right in the heart of Oak Park and has since expanded to two brick and mortar locations in Oak Park and Folsom, while still attending neighborhood farmer's markets as well. For those who want some hands on experiences, Faria Bakery also offers classes at both of their locations.I'll also mention that the bakery's only open from 8am to 3pm, so if you go a little later in the day (as I did around 2pm or so) then it may be slim pickings (but to be honest I didn't mind at all). I ended up going home with a miso loaf and a pistachio rose lychee cup (which intrigued by the flavors alone). The miso loaf is crafted with their housemade chickpea miso, brown rice porridge and crusted with toasted sesame seed, which together makes for a rich, savory, earthy bite. I personally paired my miso loaf with avocado making for a wonderful breakfast meal. The pistachio rose lychee cup is a croissant cup with pistachio filling in the middle topped with a rose lychee cream. Although I am a fan of floral notes in my pastries and desserts, I do have to admit the rose lychee cream was almost overwhelming. You could very clearly discern the rose; however, it overpowered the lychee. However, when you take a bite of the pastry together, the cream does provide a nice accompaniment to the butter, flaky croissant cup overall a delicious bite nonetheless.If you enjoy fresh artisan bread and want to support a local Sacramento business, then Faria Bakery might just be your new favorite bread spot. Without a doubt, when I find myself in the Oak Park area, Faria Bakery will be one of my stops."
