    Empanada
    Francie M.

    The perfect road trip pit stop. I was browsing options online while we were approaching and I was intrigued by the empanadas offered here that distinguished it from other cafes. The empanadas were much larger than I thought - bigger than my hand! So two of them was a bit too much to eat, while one would be a light meal. I got one with a tomato basil cheese filling and one with an onion and chard filling - so different but each delicious! Washed down with an ice cold glass of jasmine green tea to beat the heat. My friends reported that the chicken sandwich had the freshest chicken breast they've ever had - cooked to order by the friendliest cook! Logistics: - indoor and outdoor seating, but it's tight so get friendly in the neighborhood cafe - parking next door in the little lot and down the slope. This shop is not in the heart of downtown so it's less crazy on the street.

    Avocado Toast

    Goodness Cafe is a quaint little spot just a few short blocks outside of the main downtown shopping area. It's worth the walk up the hill and pay them a visit. It's a family run business that serves up fresh sandwiches, lattes, specialty empanadas, salads and more! I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch a decided on the avocado toast and an iced lavender latte. It was the perfect little spot for a relaxing meal, especially as I was traveling solo that day. I felt immediately welcomed and relaxed in their space. The avocado toast was amazing-nicely seasoned and topped with an egg cooked to perfection. The latte wasn't overly sweet but had the lavender flavor stand out. Wonderful place for a coffee or light meal. Highly recommend stopping in and enjoying all the "goodness" of Goodness Cafe!

    Cute place

    What a great experience we had at this place for lunch. Enjoyed the conversation with the owner. The food was awesome! They did not skimp on the meat or anything for that matter. We definitely will be going back.

    Flay dough just melted in your mouth

    We visit Sonora often to walk and window shop, catch some of the local hiking trails, and find a bite to eat while there. Usually find a spot where we can share a meal. We always have our pup in tow so a dog friendly place is a must. We were blown away by the food, we tried three of these empanadas, and two pupusas to share. The food was excellent, the empanada dough was extremely soft, buttery and flaky. The cheese perfectly melted in both the empanada and te pupusa. The chimichurri sauce was perfect glarlic and parsley blend, they can easily bottle that up and sell it. We sat in their back patio away from the street noise, we arrived mid afternoon so it was not too busy just a couple other patrons. We will have to make it a point to to stop by again and try one of their sandwiches, the wait staff is so attentive and made suggestions, next time we will try their cubano sandwich.

    So good, we ate here twice in a row! I've been wanting to visit Goodness Cafe for a while and I'm really glad we finally had the time. My boyfriend and I went here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and it was busy, but everyone was really nice and took our order quickly. It seems like they have a handful of regulars, which is always a good sign. The cafe is small with limited seating. Regardless of the space, we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals and all the tables were clean. We ordered their Italiano sandwich, mushroom empanada, and an iced latte during our first visit. The sandwich was delicious and PACKED with meat. The empanada was, hands down, the best empanada I've had. The pastry was flaky and delicious, not heavy or dry. The food was so good that I wanted to come back to try their pupusas, which is exactly what we did. We came back the following morning and ordered their pork and cheese and bean and cheese pupusas. I was not disappointed. Goodness Cafe is a gem and ran by wonderful people. Keep in mind that food is made to order and you may need to wait longer for your food, but it's worth the wait.

    There's Always fresh baked treats. Perfect ambience to enjoy an early morning breakfast. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    I'm in love with their papusas!

    Amazing service, they always great us with a smile and are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. ambiance is relaxed, clean, organized, very pleasant, cozy the food, omg so good! Nowhere else in town you'll find papusas and empanadas made right then and there with the best and freshest ingredients! Love, love these guys!! And highly recommend. Ps. In response to the flag review. This individual didn't bother to go inside and let them know there was an issue. It was an accident that was promptly corrected.

I really enjoyed the Strawberry Latte - it had a strong coffee flavor and a slight strawberry flavor. My daughter loved the Morning Bun - it took her 2 days to finish it. Their Spring menu also included a Strawberry Mocha, Strawberry White Chocolate Mocha, Strawberry Matcha Latte as well as iced teas and lemonades!

There is always plenty of parking in the front. I would definitely recommend trying one of their seasonal lattes. I tried the strawberry mocha latte, which was not overly sweet but still gave the flavoring of a chocolate-covered strawberry. For food, I have tried both the almond poppyseed muffin and the egg, bacon, and cheese croissant. The sandwich was warmed for me, but the egg was still fairly cold to really enjoy the sandwich. The croissant was delicious though - very buttery and flaky. Definitely something that I would try again but I would recommend asking for it to be warmed for an additional two to three minutes.

I had pretty high hopes that it would be pretty close to what I have had in Spain unfortunately that was not the case. I will say that the taste was not too bad. I would give it a 7/10.

It was a pretty small place, so I don't recommend coming here as a group- it's more of a take and go. May come here again and if I do will make sure to update.
