What a quaint little coffee shop in downtown Sutter Creek!…read more We were running some errands the other week and I needed an afternoon pick-me-up. I remembered that Chocolatte was nearby and decided to go support a local business. It's been a hot minute since I've gotten a coffee from them, and I was intrigued by their Valentine's Day menu. Ultimately I went with an iced Cupid's Cherry Kiss, while my husband wanted an affogato with extra shot. The staff were friendly and efficient at making our beverages. While we waited, we took a seat by the window to people watch. My drink was so cute, especially with the sprinkles. They added a lovely texture to a velvety chai. I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet even with the sprinkles and cherry white chocolate. As expected, the affogato was strong with the extra shot, but still smooth without being bitter. I need to remember to come back to Chocolatte more often. There's plenty of seating and the vibes are so cozy. Prices are okay, a little high but I'd rather be supporting a local business than Starbucks. They also have various pastries to choose from. We didn't get any this time but they all looked so fresh and good. PS: They also serve Gunther's ice cream!

What a quiant and lovely Cafe! My cousin brought us here for some bakery goods and coffee before we…read moretook a stroll down the street. From the moment we walked through the door, the store seemed very inviting. Reviewing the menu and seeing the pastries, everything looked delicious. We ended up with 3 coffees and matcha, and a peach pastry, cake and a pumpkin cheesecake. Everything was delicious, every but mouth watering. The staff was super friendly and personable. They have games, a few tables to sit back and relax, not to mention ice cream!!! Did I mention truffles?!?!? We were full and I ordered a creme brulee truffles but unfortunately left it behind at my families house. But they did look delicious. The items around the shop are for sale as well, different deserts and candies. The only downfall is after you get your ice-cream, you have to stand in a different line to pay, there is no cash register at the icecream counter. Highly recommend! Would definitely come back!

Stopped into Java Drive on Christmas Eve and have to rave about Tiley and Aubrey. The line was…read moreinsanely long, but they kept it moving so quickly that the wait felt almost effortless. I came for my favorite decaf latte, and as always, it was made to absolute perfection when these two were working. Their customer service and friendliness stand out in a way you just do not see much anymore, not just in coffee shops but anywhere. Even with the holiday rush, they were upbeat, kind, and totally on top of things- the energy was awesome and they were absolutely killing it. I never write reviews, but Tiley and Aubrey earned this one, and Java Drive is lucky to have them. Thanks ladies!!

Donuts were fresh and tasty. Not like some that have that heavy oil taste from overcooking.read more

Ive been a local my entire life in amador, star donuts is the go to place for donuts, although…read morelately the quality is diminishing. For starters I've had friends who worked at multiple locations have a terrible time, which they only hire women, one of those friends was a person of color and would be treated differently then all the other workers and ended up getting slowly taken off the schedule. The other issue is they never restock. I came a couple weeks ago and asked for a roast beef sandwich, they are out. So I ask for pastrami, they are out. I ask for grilled chicken, guess what, they are out. I thought it mightve been because it was later in the day, but ever time I've tried again they NEVER have it restocked. I dont understand how you run a business but treat workers like that, and never have anything. I forgot to mention the donut crumble is just old donuts that didnt sell, so they crush them up and leave them in a bucket for rats to get to (true story from the inside, maybe run a business right and these reviews wont happen, dont let me get started on all the corners EVERY restaurant out here cuts.)

A Pleasant Surprise with a Small-Town Feel…read more This one caught me off guard--in a good way. I was out with my family practicing for my daughter's driving test at the DMV up the street. We pulled up Yelp to find a good lunch spot, saw the solid reviews, and decided to give it a try. When we walked in, the atmosphere had that small-town vibe--simple, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was very good. The service wasn't polished like a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn't need to be. It was authentic and heartfelt, and sometimes that matters more. You could tell the staff cared about what they were doing. The place was busy, especially for the time of day we went, which tells you something. People come here on purpose. That says a lot. We were seated quickly, our order was taken without any issues, and the food came out in a reasonable time. When it hit the table, the portions were generous and satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the moment. If you go, post your photos--I'm sure the business would appreciate it. If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare. This place earned that extra star because of how it made me feel--between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it just worked. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely coming back for another meal.
