I honestly feel ripped off…read more Paid $39.40 (with tax) for a "large" side of rice and a "large" side of beans--$17.50 EACH. Both came in standard 32 oz takeout containers, nothing close to catering size or anything that would justify that kind of price. This is a small Mexican restaurant in a rural area, not some upscale spot, so the pricing feels completely unjustifiable. Rice and beans are some of the most basic, low-cost items, and charging this much for them is excessive. Food was fine, but there's no way it matches the price. Definitely ask about prices before ordering--I wish I had.

Had place bookmarked and would've loved to say it was amazing but it wasn't. Very small bakery with…read morea tiny show case that was nearly empty. They also have balsamic vinegar and olive oil's on display for sale. It was midday on a Thursday, arrived and 2 folks were waiting for what must've been a sandwich being made. Seemed like I waited a LONG time in the lobby, at least long enough to hear about one of the customers upcoming travels, budgeting, family, etc. etc. There was I person working and when she finally came out and saw me waiting she was very apologetic for the long wait and lack of items to choose from. I was hoping to try their croissant which is different than your normal croissant, but they didn't have any available. Learned the pastries and breads are made at their other location and brought in which makes sense because the place is just slightly bigger than a shoebox, Ended up with a couple of ciabatta loaves, pecan bar and a lemon bar. The bread was the best, the bars weren't anything to write home about. We're planning to go back out in a couple of months and will give them another try earlier in the day.

The staff is friendly and its a very tiny space inside to order. Checkout the menu pics attached. The chocolate cream eclairs and chicken pesto panini were yummy!! In $24, we got: - 1 chicken red pesto panini - 5/5 - which was freshly grilled. They offer u 3 choices of cheese and i choose cheddar. The red pesto sauce was flavorful and chicken meat quality was top-notch! - 2 eclairs - 5/5 filled with chocolate cream. Unique and delish! - 2 vanilla eclairs - 4/5 usual but smaller in size compared to other stores so it was a fun size Would definitely recommend filling your belly here before you drive up to the gorgeous wineries for some wine tasting. #supportlocal

Small but cozy and decorated with kitschy and cute decor, this coffee house/cafe offers coffee, tea, matcha, boba drinks, smoothies and fresh juices. They also have breakfast goodies and other items like muffins, burritos and frittatas. Everything is fresh and served quick. You can sit inside or there are also some outside benches overlooking the lake in the back. I was able to order a sugar-free blended mocha with sugar-free whipped cream. Ahem, REAL whipped cream. Yes it was fantastic and a great price as well. They have a huge variety of flavored syrups and options, protein bases and vegan milks and can create drinks on par with a certain windmill chain...ONLY better! Shoutout and thank you to the wonderful staff and especially to the sweetest barista ever, who helped me customize my drink to fit my dietary needs. It is a great place to stop either when in Clearlake or on your way to another adventure.

So light it could float away. The food comes up quickly and the portions are generous. My partner's eggs were cooked to perfection. So why on earth did they earn only a single star for my visit? The service was absolutely abysmal--to the level that if I hadn't put my food order in, I would've thrown a twenty on the table for the coffees and left somewhere else where we would be treated with respect. When we walked in, the restaurant wasn't that busy. One of the only servers on was just leaning on the bar and told us to sit wherever. That was fine. We asked for coffee and waters. She brought the coffee and then didn't bring the waters. We thought maybe she forgot; took forever to catch her eye and when we inquired about the waters she SNAPPED AT US THAT SHE WOULD BRING THE WATERS WHEN SHE GOT A MINUTE. So rude. Just offputtingly rude. When she finally stomped over to us with the water, she changed her tone quite a bit, but the damage was done. She also gave us zero time with the menu, as if we were an imposition and a total bother to her. Seriously one of the worst serving attitudes I've ever had. Pretty sure I won't be in the area again any time soon, but I won't ever be back here. Shame on you, Mikes. Your food is good but not so good as to excuse the abysmal service.

I'm absolutely blown away and insulted by the mam workimg with the biker jacket on as I came in and ordered a couple of sandwiches and a couple of drinks, I sat and watched as a couple of what looked like people that he knew came in and just yelled to,him from their,seat what they wanted and he proceded to ignore my order and make them their food and drinks pushing me back in the line. I have been sitting here for over 20 min while I have watched multiple people come in and out that looked like he knew. This guy is an absolute ass hole!!!! If he is working there and you arent one of his close buddies i suggest you just go somewhere else :/ read more

We searched for a coffee shop near Upper Lake, and Double D's popped up…read more We decided to try it. It was about 10AM Sunday morning, the town of upper lake is quiet. We drove up to the business and there were only 2 patrons inside. There were 2 nice young ladies working here this morning. They pleasantly took our order (2 coffees, 2 croissants). It was nice that the croissants were freshly made (Ham and cheese), not frozen or in a pre-made bag. The two coffees (1 Blended iced mocha, 1 caramel blended) were very good. Our first impression wasn't good because there are tables and chairs out front - they were dirty, I could think of why anyone would want to sit here. YUCK! At least put a tablecloth over the disgusting table. We were staying at the Robinson rancheria casino, and usually get coffee here. But for the last month, their frothing machine and ice blends are broken, with not timeline as to when they will get fixed. So, we made the short 2-mile drive to Double D's. This will be my go-to place for coffee from now on. Please clean or replace the table so we can sit outside. This is the only reason for 4 starts and not 5 stars
