Edible Sacramento – Bagels and Emapanadas: An unlikely duo

Forgotten Bakery shares a bite of culture through handheld delights.

On a quiet Sacramento lot that neighbors an empty grassy field in a residential area sits a quaint, inconspicuous bakery. In giant letters that take up about a quarter of the building’s façade, the words “Forgotten Bakery” tell visitors they’re about to discover some delicious treats.

A curious combination of empanadas and bagels awaits carb connoisseurs. Here, the culture and heritage of owners Robby Naim and Paul Dollar are represented on the menu. “I have these memories of making empanadas with my grandparents and family back in Chile when growing up,” says Dollar. “Everyone would pitch in, and it was a fun thing to do together as a family.” Those memories are no longer confined to Dollar’s head; he and Naim are sharing a taste of their culture with the community.
