Dessert in Sacramento - Freeport Bakery, Tower Cafe, Leatherby, Gunthers

[atwong]

Freeport Bakery - Reminds me of typical American Bakeries. Heavy on the sugar. Very dry. Some of the better American cakes that I've had. The setup was very "local". Lemonade was very real. I'd go back again.

Tower Cafe - I actually liked the cakes. It was really down-to-earth home cooked cakes. Liked Freeport feeling a bit better but I wished it had the Tower cakes.

Leatherby - Had the banana split. It was huge. Pretty good value for the money. Ice cream was good.. but not as great as how some ppl say it is.

Gunthers - This was more like an old fashioned ice cream parlor. I thought it was very retro. Was it better than Leatherby... it was different, more... rich. If I had to choose. I'd go to Gunthers over Leatherby.

Freeport is my fav. Love their eclairs. We like Vics on Riverside for ice cream.
