Sacramento is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Sacramento follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

If you don't, I will.. it's good.. it's bad.. it's bad .. it's good.. This bakery is GGGGOOOOD! The cake amazing flavorful, fresh.. I had the pineapple coconut and felt bad this bakery isn't close to me... it's bad great bakeriers are disappearing.. that's a good thing I found a gem. I'm happy I found this place. If I ever travel to Sacramento.. I know where I have to stop.. Go here! If you don't finish your dessert.. I will! It's refreshing to find food service that takes serious quality and execution.. I know it's not easy but so worth it.. great job!

We were on a road trip and I saw this place on Google Maps. My husband is a dessert-o-haulic and loves cake so I decided to surprise him by bringing him here for lunch. When he walked in and saw the beautiful cakes, he was stunned and said “I think I just walked into heaven”. I got so many brownie points! Service was excellent, Payum was amazing with helping us and truly made our experience so memorable!! He made our custom sandwiches (on fresh baked bread) and they were so good! He helped answer our many questions about the dessert options too. My husband got 2 types of cake- chocolate and birthday- and I got the caramel napoleon. These were all fantastic. The nostalgic diner feel only added to the experience. We highly recommend checking this place out for both great sandwiches AND dessert!! Such a great and memorable stop- we will be back. Thanks Payum!

Rick’s Dessert Diner is the place you go when you’re serious about dessert. The selection of cakes and sweet pastries is outstanding. The display alone makes choosing a challenge. The tiramisu, recommended by the staff, was well-made and flavorful, though a bit sweeter than expected. Still enjoyable, just not as espresso-forward as I prefer. The old, authentic interior with dim lighting and vintage music boxes gives the space real character. Service was pleasant and attentive without being pushy, offering thoughtful recommendations. Bathrooms, however, need noticeable repairs and don’t match the charm of the main space. Overall, a strong spot for atmosphere and an impressive dessert lineup.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10) Hands down the best tiramisu I’ve ever had in my life. The place has an amazing old-school American movie vibe. I went around 10:00 PM and there was still a long line—waited about 15 minutes, but it was 100% worth it. The tiramisu is unreal. I’ve never had anything like it. I literally went back and bought it again. • Tiramisu: the best, no question • Chocolate lava cake: also very good • Bread: starting from $2 and surprisingly incredible $10 for a cake slice? I’d honestly pay $30 for that tiramisu without hesitation. Overall: 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the wait.

First time coming here and it actually suprised me on how fun and nostalgic the atmosphere was! Would definitely recommend coming here late at night the most when you’re craving anything sweet, the ice cream here was definitely worth the price and really good and if you can you should try buying a cake here from time to time, the shakes were good as well! would definitely recommend giving it a try. The only reason I wouldn’t give it a 5 is because it can be a little pricey depending on what you get and the staff wasn’t the kindest to me and my friends. Otherwise id definitely recommend!
