This year’s Jewish Food Faire hosted Sacramento’s first-ever Best Bagel Competition, bringing together local bakeries and bagel makers including Better Half Bagel, Battin’s Bagel Bike, The Posh Bagel, Christian Aiello, and Toasted. Each competitor showcased their own take on what makes a great bagel.

We’re proud to share that The Forgotten Bakery earned three major awards — along with the People’s Choice recognition from attendees:

Awards Received

• Overall Champion — Sacramento’s Best Bagel

• Best Specialty Bagel Sandwich

• Most Creative Bagel

• People’s Choice Favorite Bagels

Our winning entry — the Vaca Frita Bagel Sandwich — combined our signature beer-fermented, hand-rolled bagel with slow-cooked flank steak, house-made Muhammara, Toum, and crispy tostones.

We appreciate the strong performances from all competitors and the support from the community who came out to taste, vote, and celebrate Sacramento’s growing food scene.

Thank you for choosing us — we’re excited for what’s ahead as we continue to represent Sacramento in its bagel renaissance.

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.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A once forgotten space on Stockton Boulevard in South Sacramento is getting a new life.

Owners Robby Naim and Paul Dollar opened a bakery inside an old, abandoned building back in March. Naim says the building was abandoned for more than a decade until they renovated it.

“We kind of wanted the space to be something that the community could share. Meet each other, hang out,” said Naim.
