A Thai-American owned bakery and cafe built around a cat theme has moved into East Sacramento.<\/p>\n
Pastry Cat held its soft opening in late April, selling specialty cookies including salted Valrhona chocolate chip, miso brown butter and matcha yuzu almond, according to its website. The shop is on 533 53rd St.<\/p>\n
You may have seen Pastry Cat\u2019s baked goods in other cafes across Sacramento. Pastry Cat\u2019s cookies were once sold at OffBeat Coffee on 600 Broadway in Upper Land Park, where it served as a pop-up.<\/p>\n
Nariya Charoensupaya, the owner of Pastry Cat, wrote that her inspiration for the cafe came from a childhood love for pastries, desserts and cats.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since I was young, I have always had a special spot in my heart for desserts,\u201d Charoensupaya wrote online.<\/a> \u201cMy curiosity in this eventually led me to trying my hands at making pastry items as a hobby.\u201d<\/p>\n Charoensupaya\u2019s pastry chef journey began at the Culinary Institute of America, she wrote. After graduating in 2012 with a degree in Baking and Pastry Arts, Charoensupaya said she worked in a variety of kitchens, including a small bakery, a chocolate shop and Michelin starred restaurants.<\/p>\n Because of her experiences, she wrote that she believes in quality and consistency in her baking, a belief she brings to Pastry Cat.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything I make is always made with love and genuine care,\u201d Charoensupaya wrote. \u201cMy products will always reflect my values and the standards I hold as a pastry chef.\u201d<\/p>\n Pastry Cat also serves other desserts, from almond croissants to Korean cream cheese garlic buns, cinnamon roll donuts and scones, according to the cafe\u2019s Yelp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pastry Cat began five years ago as a small business in the middle of the pandemic, Charoensupaya wrote. Reflecting on the cafe\u2019s evolution into a brick and mortar location, she credited her friends, family and customers.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you for continuing to be there for us and waiting so patiently while we try to make things happen,\u201d Charoensupaya wrote on social media. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t do this without you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n Pastry Cat is open Fridays to Sundays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n This story was originally published May 7, 2026 at 11:55 AM.<\/p>\n
