A Sweet Lifelong Dream for Estelle Bakery & Patisserie

Since 2011, Estelle bakery has been a Sacramento favorite. Today, Estelle 2.0 has been revamped and is better than ever. With two locations, Esther Son is living her lifelong dream.

“I could eat desserts all day,” Son said in an interview with the Sacramento Bee. “At a young age, I would swap my lunch for somebody’s dessert at school. There was never a doubt in my mind I was going to set up a French bakery one day, but I didn’t think my childhood dream would become a career. Now this is my passion. My blood and sweat go into it.”

From a little cupcake stand in 2009, to her first Estelle Bakery & Patisserie location on K street, now Son has two locations, one in the Arden area and one right here in DOCO Sacramento. The French inspired bakery is not only aesthetically pleasing but the sweet treats are to die for.

The Sacramento Bee asked Son what her favorite pastry is and she said, “That’s like asking, ‘Which is your favorite child?” Son puts her heart into her recipes and loves to continually develop them. Her next endeavor is to add cakes to the menu — we can’t wait!

Son is proud of her accomplishments in Sacramento and is excited to watch her bakery’s continual success. When asked what motivates her, she replied, “When I’m standing in the dining room, reading my customers and watching them enjoy what we’ve made, that’s so satisfying. That’s what keeps me going.”
