The food here is genuinely great, the chilaquiles are especially good and absolutely worth trying…read more Everything we ate was flavorful and well prepared. That said, the service is chaotic. The staff is very kind and clearly working hard, but the system itself feels completely unorganized. It honestly feels like everyone is on their first day at the same time. Tables don't seem to be divided in a logical way. Instead of one server handling inside and another the patio, servers are running back and forth between both areas, which slows everything down. During our visit, we ordered drinks with one person, placed our food order with who I think was our actual waitress, had our food delivered by someone from the kitchen who wasn't sure which table it belonged to, got refills from someone who may have been the manager or owner, and didn't see our waitress again until we had to go ask for the check ourselves. Kitchen staff were walking out with dishes asking around to find the right table, which added to the confusion. Everyone is friendly and clearly trying their best, but the lack of organization makes the experience inefficient and a bit stressful as a customer. I would still recommend Buenos Días Cafecito if you have time and patience that day. The food really is that good, just don't come in a rush or expecting smooth service.

The whole restaurant was screaming "billboard, give us money and we'll put your ad somewhere on the tables or menu." Hence, I took no photos of the menu. Plus the tables, the ads just bothered me and distracted my experience at Country Rose. The service I felt was a bit lacking and none attentive. Perhaps more just not knowing than not caring. Inside the restaurant was fine. Like a classic American diner in what seemed like a good spot in Hollister. If the ads were better placed or removed, my experience would have been better. It just screamed greed to me with all of the ad placements.

There was no flavor that stood out that made it overwhelming other than it was spicy, 6/7 level. It was a wonderful balance and amazing flavor. It is one of those dishes that you will order over again every time you go. It tasted as good as it looks in the picture. The service was great!

If you want to experience the absolute best of Hollister, Sun Coast Bakery is the place to be. I've…read morebeen to many spots in town, but if I'm bringing friends or family from out of town to show them what our community is all about, this is officially my #1 choice. ​Everything we had was perfect. The sweets are incredible--they hit that rare balance of being flavorful and satisfying without being "too sweet." You can tell there is real craftsmanship in the baking. ​The atmosphere here perfectly encapsulates the Hollister spirit. It has that beautiful country, organic, farm-to-table feel that makes you want to stay all day. A huge shoutout to David, who did an amazing job basically building everything himself; the attention to detail in the space is stunning. ​The staff is top-tier as well. Our bartender outside was incredibly sweet and made us feel right at home. The only downside? I wish they were open more days! This place is a local treasure. If you haven't been yet, you are seriously missing out on a quintessential Hollister experience.

Now it's kinda out in the middle of nowhere. It seems as though if you're not a local. And then you turn into this long driveway and you see how super cute it is. It's like an old mini western town. The initial views make you wanting more. Walk up the ramp into their bakery. They had all sorts of yummie looking #pastries to drool over. They have cookies, ice cream and a few hot and cold meals. We shared a pumpkin croissant which was topped with toasted almonds. I suggest getting it warmed up. Their selections change with the seasons so be sure to check their website on their offerings. We sat outside to admire the views. Wow. I'm so thankful to have come across this place. Perfect for sitting in silence and relaxing or to enjoy the company of good vibes. There's tons of seating and so much to look at. Outside they've also got beer on tap. My pictures don't do it justice, but I assure you, you will not be disappointed. And as you drive off, be sure to drive slow and check out all of the cute decor and signs they have along the way.

This rating is not for the food but for the catering! I had been in contact with Gustavo over email…read more(several in fact) about my catering order for my dad's 80th birthday. We had 15 people total and needed food for that amount. I requested the food weeks in advance, took about a week to hear back. When I did, Gustavo told me what I should order for that amount of people. I took his advice and ordered the fajitas both chicken and steak, rice, beans, salsa, guacamole and chips. We finalized the details over email, he sent an invoice with the pick up time and price. Well, the day arrives my husband goes over at the agreed pick up time and it was like I never put a catering order in! He shows them the invoice and they did finally get our order made but it took over 30 mins. They were apologetic at least. When he got back and we opened the food the tray of fajitas had mostly bell peppers, definitely not enough meat for 15 people! Also don't expect the fajitas to come with tortillas apparently you have to order those separately which I didn't realize. We ended up running to the grocery store to buy tortillas. I hate to give 1 star because the food was really good but my catering experience was very disappointing.

As for the rooms have very much to be desired. There are no real handicapped amenities, don't sit on the beds besides the weight of a feather. All the outlets are very old and if your devices stop working, it's probably the outlet let the plug fall out. They seem to eat in the bar area only. As alchohol makes me sick, I only ate there once. Prices are decent considering the rest of the town is overpriced so the penny pinching Board of Directors in Hollister must be slipping the money in their pockets. The have another opening for BOS. But honestly, who would want to be on the Board of Supervisors in SBC. With the thousands of new homes installed without proper drinking water, their plan is to charge you for the water you drink and that's how the charge you for your sewer services. I wouldn't drink the water here, and I don't think anyone does. The sewage goes thru a processing of sorts, mix it back with about 10-30 percent clean water and sell it back to you as DRINKABLE. Buy the bottles water and avoid drinking or bathing in the local water as they still find contaminants including pill, narcotics that people have flushed down the sewer. If you get a rash, or physically sick theu have a brand new 25 bed hospital for you to go to. And if your sick, you'll just have to go home and pray for the best. If you die, SORRY. If you end up needing a larger than child size MRI, YOU'LL either have to be transported by Ambulance the 1 hour to either Salinas or San Jose. While we're on the subject, if you work in the Bay Area you will probably have to leave at about 4am to get to the San Jose Bay Area. This might have been a little town, with a few roads leading out for the Fruits and Vegetables. But now that the state has mandated that we add 25000 homes, and Destroy the land that used to supply crops, and food to 1/8 of America's you'll have to start looking elsewhere for food at a much higher price. And don't forget on that 2 hour plus commute back to what was once Beautiful Hollister to stop and get gas on the way home. COSTCO'S only 45 minutes away, so you won't lose much time if you fuel up on the way home. But be careful. Our new road construction has added multiple ROUND A BOUTS. One we call Accident hill and the other we call bumper call circle. Both are pretty dangerous as new, unexpected ones are coming in daily as we get ride of those old stop lights. It keeps our intrepid firefighters, ambulances and police plenty of work to be done instead of catching those thieves breaking into cars. And that's a reminder, DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR CAR. LOCK IT UP, INSIDE THE LOCKED UP GARAGES. You never know when those thieving Salinas,Bay Area, or Central Valley will come looking for a place to scam to break into. They may even be wearing matching Jackets and badges saying they work for a power company. So be watchful of those sneaking around your property and that of your neighbors early in the morning or late at night. Whenever you come, make sure you're safe. Because a 2x4 up side your head is not what your looking for in beautiful Hollister.
