Buffalo Pizza & Ice Cream Co.

A garden patio next to the Tower Theatre, a globe-trotting menu and French toast people drive across town for, with kids' sections for brunch and dinner.

The Land Park bakery a lot of Sacramento kids get their birthday cakes from, with cookies and pastries in the case for a regular Tuesday. Cards only, no cash.

Sacramento's oldest ice cream parlor, making its own from a 1940s recipe, with kiddie cones and clown cones. Point out Jugglin' Joe on the roof sign: if he ever drops the scoop, the ice cream's free.

A Land Park pizzeria for an early dinner with the kids, with a kid's pasta and an ice cream sandwich made with Gunther's vanilla for dessert.

A burger place on R Street with its own beer for you and plain burgers, grilled cheese and hot dogs on the kids' menu.

A gluten-free, dairy-free bakery, so the kid with the allergy gets to pick anything in the case for once. Cupcakes, cookies and sandwiches.
