Forgotten Bakery is growing its presence in Sacramento with a new shop in the Lavender Heights neighborhood. This marks the second location for the business, following its original opening in Colonial Heights.
Why it matters
The expansion brings the brand's established baking techniques to a new part of the city. The bakery continues to build on the success of its original location, which launched last year.
The bakery hand-rolls its bagels using unbleached flour that is slow-fermented for 16 hours. The dough is kettle-boiled and baked daily to maintain quality.

Culture Shift
