    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.

    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!

    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.

    The food here is delicious and special. The Goodness Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches are to die for!! Also choose from 5 varieties of Authentic El Salvadoran pupusas! Specialty coffees are created with personal charm and design. The atmosphere here is spacious with a great indoor and outdoor seating. Much better than their former location. Prompt Service with a smile too!

    This is a must visit next time you're in Sonora!! The coffee is from El Salvador and absolutely incredible! They have six or seven different kinds of empanadas. The two we tried were over-the-top delicious. My friend couldn't decide between a bagel or a breakfast burrito and the owner offered him the best of both worlds and made him a bagel sandwich completely off menu. M y husband had the breakfast burrito, which was unlike any he ever had. It was filled with scrambled eggs and cheese and bacon wrapped in a tortilla and pressed in an iron like a sandwich. All four of us could not get over how good the food was! The service was above and beyond, and the decor was super cute. You will not regret eating here!

    Come and support a family ran cafe! Service was very personal. I did not have a coffee bc it was mid day for me but it smelled and looked great. I had 2 empanadas (chard one and mushroom one) that were delicious. I will be coming back to try their pupusas that are only sold on Friday or Saturday.

    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.
