GINGER ELIZABETH CHOCOLATES

After studying at the Culinary Institute of New York, Ginger Elizabeth settled in her native Sacramento and opened this little store specializing in chocolates, ice cream and macaroons! Locals flock there and wait in the long line, hoping to taste the Holy Grail: the Ice Cream Sandwich Macarons. Prepared with organic products, it's good and fresh! They have since opened a pastry shop a few blocks away.
