You must try the Earl Grey Tea Cake with Burnt Butter Frosting with butter brickle bits....your mouth will sing and your guests thank you for not giving them another red velvet cake (although those are great here too!) The lavender cake was also a hit. Her prices cannot be beat and I am sure will rise as her reputation grows. Use her now. :)

I placed a special order with Simply Delish for my mother's 82nd birthday, and it exceeded every…read moreexpectation. Three different family members independently said it was the best cake they've ever had. We ordered a white cake with custard filling and their specialty frosting. The cake was incredibly moist, and what we loved most was that it wasn't overly sweet, perfectly balanced and truly delicious. Simply Delish absolutely nailed it. Vonnie, the owner, was wonderful to work with, so kind, responsive, and easy throughout the entire process. You can really tell this is handcrafted with care and pride. Sorry I didn't get a better picture, but the cake was beautiful and decorated with fresh fall-colored flowers, exactly as I had requested. Can't wait to order again!

It was hard to just grab those are NOT a cupcake but you know, we had to do what we had to do!!! After all this is the best bakery in town! Vonnie is always working and such an amazing baker because not only does she do her own DELICIOUS creations but she does these intricate decedent wedding cakes and I'm just in awe at her artistry skills and the fact she basically runs this bakery! She is so very talented and you won't find better than her, she's amazing and the SWEETEST! The Ambiance since we usually pick up is very nice and air conditioned and smells AMAZING. If I could make the smell of those place into a perfume? I mosey certainly would!!! Everything she makes is to absolutely perfection!!! Thank you Vonnie! My mom and I love you, keep being the best in town!

An absolute must-visit on Washington Street in Sonora!…read more The Local Collective is exactly what its name represents: a place rooted in genuine care for people, families, and the local community. What stands out immediately is how kind and welcoming the owners are. This is truly a family-run shop, and you can feel the intention behind everything they do. They aren't just stocking shelves, they are thoughtfully sourcing items they would confidently choose for their own family and children. That level of care is rare. We bought a hoodie, hat, and t-shirt for my daughter's birthday, and she has been wearing them every single day since. The quality is incredible! I mean really. These are not cheaply made pieces. You can feel the difference right away in the fabric, the fit, and the durability. What makes this place even more special is the heart behind it. It's not just about business. It is about people. They genuinely care about the families who walk through their doors and he went out of his way to offer products that reflect that. They do not jack up the prices but the quality is better than an REI or Sax 5th Avenue. I know good quality and these items are made very well. We also purchased a tumbler for my children, bird house, two stuffed animals, and a few other little things and the quality and make are consistent throughout the store no matter what it is. Having seven children we know good quality items. Unfortunately, it is not an unfamiliar experience to see things break after purchasing. Not here! If you're looking for meaningful, high-quality items and want to support a family that truly puts other families first, this is a place you'll want to keep coming back to and buying from again and again.

This is probably my favorite local shop to get coffee. It tastes the same every time (yummy &…read moreconsistent) and I trust that I'm getting the decaf espresso that I ask for. I've also purchased many items from here like mugs, candles, t shirts, children's sensory toys, stickers, jewelry, sauces, and a Christmas advent calendar. I never really know what I'm going to find in Local Collective, but there's always something I want. I also love love loveee the atmosphere. It's so welcoming, the music's always on point, and the staff is very friendly. 10/10 my favorite shop in downtown Sonora.

They are by far not only the best in Columbia, but the whole area! They probably even beat Cinnabon they're so good! The workers here are absolute sweethearts!! And it's perfect timing that they open so early so I can get a nice sweet treat with my coffee in the morning!! These are fabulous!!! She also has a Columbia Cates Tea House which I actually have yet to eat there but it's also adorable and that one opens at 11 am I believe so I'll have to come a little later to try that one too and get the full experience!! The Ambiance is adorable!!! It's all white with cute lacey accents! The girly vibes get me EVERY TIME! It's like stepping into a Disney princess bakery, and the tea house is that way too! Love love love these places and so many delicious options here!!

You have to come super early if you want to get what you like. The roll was a bit dry and cakey.. The service was exceptional. Not only did the employee add extra frosting but he also heated it!

We've picked up Two Acre sourdough and cookies from MiWuk Market before, but today we finally…read moredropped by the store. It's easy to find in the Junction, located next door to Subway. There was only one other person in there when we arrived, but by the time we left it was packed! Counter staff was super friendly and I love that you can see the hard work that's happening in the back of the house. It's such a cozy vibe. They post their daily menu to Instagram so I already had a list of what I wanted, but it all looked SO GOOD so we left with much more than originally planned. Bagels: the BEST and I mean BEST sourdough bagels that I've ever had. When others make them a lot of times they turn out too dense, but these were perfectly puffed on the outside, a little tangy, and chewy when you rip into the bite. YUM! Today they had cheddar, plain, and everything. Classic Sourdough: perfectly cooked, perfectly chewy. I've had the cheddar-jalapeño before and it had a great flavor but that loaf was a little too chewy for me. The classic hits just right. They also have flavors like apple cinnamon, garlic, and gouda rosemary... just to name a few. AND they have some gluten-free if that's what you're into or need. It's coming fresh out of the oven regularly. Cookies: don't sleep on the sourdough cookies! They're perfectly chewy, large, and so flavorful. The molasses are my favorite but honorable mentions include snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and chocolate chip. They also have an assortment of cakes - we opted for a huge slice of carrot cake that was a "small" - and desserts. There were cinnamon rolls, tiramisu, and honestly so much more that I blacked out a little and wanted one of everything. All in all, we walked away with a full bag of bread and treats for only $32! They take card and cash. As I mentioned before, be sure to follow their IG @2acrefarms_sonorasourdough for what's offered daily!

One guy didn't talk at all, and the other one helping us was so tired he look like he was gonna fall asleep. lol. So service could be a little better. Nice on the flavors , not a huge amount but for a stage theater lobby, it's decent and enough flavors for most ppl to pick from. You have to love the building and keeping everything in the west / gold rush era. Most the shops staff and even the live music here and there are dressed up. It's very cool. If you're going to Columbia state park , this is a must see shop if you haven't already.

I wish I had better things to say about the place because the food we got was pretty nice…read more We arrived for an early dinner on a Friday and were seated after a few minutes. Then, came a long wait for a server to come. Once they did, after tables who had been seated after us, they offered us water that also took a long time. One of our servers was so kind, I didn't catch her name, but she brought our water and took our orders very efficiently, but was friendly. We ordered the fried cauliflower and alchemy burgers. Once the cauliflower came, our waiter told us that a cook had walked out mid-dinner rush had left them low on production. This didn't really explain the wait for service but we understood. I didn't get photos of the burgers when they came, because our table was pretty hungry after the long wait! The presentation of the food was ok but the food itself was pretty delicious. The fries were very flavorful and the burgers were cooked a perfect medium rare. We also got a butter pecan sundae that was very large, but good. If the food and that one waiter had not been so good, I would probably take more stars. If you are going to come here, I recommend having a lot of time and patience. 5 stars for the food, 2 stars for the service. Knowing this, I would be tentative to come back if we got the same experience in terms of service.

From the sign hanging out front, to the decor inside, and even the clothing the staff was wearing, the theme was evident. I hadn't visited Columbia since I was on a field trip in elementary school so when I got the opportunity to visit again, I was all about it. The first thing I needed before exploring was a coffee, because let's be honest, I was hungover. Brown's came to my rescue and put the extra pep in my step that I needed. I ordered a vanilla oatmilk latte and it was creamy and delicious. The gentleman barista of the day was very friendly and answered all the questions I had. One of them being, pecan milk?! I'm a vegetarian so I'm here for the alternative milk options, but that was one I had never heard of before. Pretty cool to see it. I have to imagine if you live in the area you know about this place and have likely been here before, so I'm primarily speaking to those that come from out of town... come visit Brown's. If not for a coffee, than one of their other offerings like ice cream, a baked good, sandwich, or even things like honey to take home with you.

Carnitas did have crispy edges and was tasty. Rice wasn't too fluffy but was fairly good. Beans were good. Drinks: I got the margarita martini and husband got the Paloma. Both were tasty. We would definitely come back.
