They have a few parking spaces available. The inside was super cute! A few different areas to sit, very comforting and relaxed vibe, with good tunes playing in the background. The service was excellent - kind and they brought out our drinks to us as well. We had such a good time here we came back the next day! They had some food options available but we only were in the mood for drinks at the time. I got a: Smoothie (mango + blueberry) with apple juice and yogurt, with whipped cream on top. The overwhelming flavor was the apple juice, but the smoothie was still refreshing and cheap. No complaints. This coffee shop also borders the lake so we sat for awhile inside, but then took our drinks out to overlook the water. It was so beautiful.

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

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.

Castle Donuts has easily earned a spot among our all-time favorite donut shops. Are they decorated like some over-the-top social media donuts? Not necessarily. But honestly, who cares when they taste this good? Everything was fresh, soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The cinnamon rolls, bear claws, and apple fritters are HUGE! And the apple fritter? The smell alone had us hooked, and somehow it tasted even better than it smelled. I'd much rather have a donut that's simple on the outside and absolutely incredible on the inside than one that's picture-perfect but tastes like air. Castle Donuts gets it right where it matters most: flavor. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. You'll understand the hype after the first bite. We loved every single thing we tried and will definitely be back the next time we're in town!

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
