Estelle Bakery expands to Folsom
The Gist: Estelle Bakery plans to open its fourth location at 400 Iron Point Road in Folsom this month. The French-style bakery serves cakes, sweet and savory pastries, and breakfast and lunch. The Sacramento Bee reported Oct. 13 that an exact opening date had not been announced.
Why It Matters: Folsom residents will soon have easy access to the popular bakery's French-style treats without driving to Sacramento or Davis.
A breakfast stop overlooking Lake Natoma
The Gist: Looking for a weekend breakfast by the water? Lakeside Cafe at Crawdads on the Lake, 9900 Greenback Lane in Folsom, announced daily 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. hours following its scheduled Oct. 20 opening. The menu includes breakfast, bagels, pastries and specialty coffee, with patio views of Lake Natoma and Rainbow Bridge.
Why It Matters: The planned breakfast service puts this waterfront patio on the morning itinerary; check current hours before making the trip.
