    Sourdough being one of them. . . where's the butter?
    Mary Jo T.

    This is such a great family operated business! I came in toward the end of the day and was fortunate enough to be the only one there with one of the owners (Sunny). She and her husband not ONLY run a small farm and beekeeping, but operate this business too! She used to teach, until her sourdough bread took off like a rocket! I SO enjoyed talking with her, she was so personable. :) Of what was available, I asked what she recommended, which was the Onion Cheese sourdough. So that is what I got and had it sliced. . . IT. WAS. DELICIOUS. Moist, savory. . . I wish I lived closer (sigh). LOVED IT! We think you will too!

    Blueberry lemon sourdough

    This is a must stop for me when I come up from the Bay Area. Given this is our quiet vacation spot from the hustle and bustle, hubby always knows to make a pit stop on the way in or out for us to grab our loaves of bread. Unfortunate our trip today was just meh. The traditional sourdough @ $10 was not tangy or "sour" at all. And this is my third time buying a sourdough loaf with a mix in ( lemon blueberry, cheddar jalapeño, cinnamon raisin apple) and they do not incorporate or mix the fillings in properly. They just hang in one area or section at the top which is just lazy imho. Would be a three star but given they are still nice, I'll leave a 4 star. But I might have to make the extra trek to Columbia for Sourdough Dreams if the loafs are just gonna be meh here. Sad snow day for sure.

    Cheddar garlic sourdough
    April b.

    Fantastic! I try to avoid stopping here on my way to work this morning? The smell of garlic was enough to lure me in. I caved and bought 2 loaves‍ Cheddar garlic and Kalamata olive. I had to call my husband to come pry it from my fingers before I ate it all. The texture and flavor is perfection.

    So glad this place finally has a brick-and-mortar location. I always made sure to buy a loaf from the farmer's market downtown on Saturday but now I can get their delicious bread anyday (at least until they sell out!). Every flavor they have is delicious and their focaccia is some of the best I've ever had, and that includes in Italy. Personally the onion is my favorite, it makes everything from sandwiches to bruschetta so much better. I will be back soon to try their avocado toast! This is a family owned business and they are very friendly and the service is incredible. The store only opened a week ago so they are still getting set up it seems but there are a few seats available and it is bright and welcoming inside. The bar style seating is a gorgeous piece of wood and the racks of grab and go bread have a rustic feel to them. Definitely a great addition to Sonora and I hope they stick around for a long time!

    Ask the Community - Pence Farm Sourdough

    Do you bake gluten free sourdough? I can eat the sourdough at Columbia Mercantile because of the way it's fermented

    No, we don’t do gluten free. But, many of our customers that are gluten intolerant can eat our bread because of the flour we use and fermentation process.

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

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!

    WOW! We found this shop the night before, when arriving at the same shopping plaza to have dinner…read moreat Strings Italian(please see separate review). I looked up Bon Apetit - Crepes, Croissants & More on Yelp, saw a very good rating, but not too much information and only a few photos. Considering this business has been here more than 12 years, and boasted baked goods, I HAD to do my research and provide a bit more information. We came in after our breakfast at My Garden Cafe(please see separate review), so we weren't hungry but, again, research was the goal. The space itself was a bit surprising. Having occupied this space for so many years, I guess I expected it to look more like a restaurant or kitchen of some kind. It doesn't. The large interior space has a few small bistro style patio tables and chairs (even outdoor umbrellas!) and - I think - is meant to look as if patrons are dining al fresco in Paris, maybe??? But it reminded me more of a church or school bake sale. Folding tables with colorful tablecloths are pushed up along one wall and on them set large, food service grade, clear plastic bins with the baked good inside. Above each bin is a laminated color copy of the corresponding pastry affixed to the wall. Utensils, paper bags and tongs are available for customers to self serve their selections. A separate cart has a couple of industrial coffee carafes and paper cups for beverage self service, alongside a free standing water cooler. I asked if the pastries are made there and was told no. They are made fresh each morning by the owner, Bruno, and brought in in the bins and arranged, usually, under the display pictures to easily see what is in that day. So, while not conventional, this method obviously works, and has for OVER A DECADE. Unconventional bakery esthetics and sales methods aside, the products are what customers are repeatedly here for. AUTHENTIC, French pastries made from European butter, making them lighter than an angel's wings and tastier than the devil should allow. My husband was going to patiently wait while I chose my purchases, but I persuaded him to indulge in the last remaining buttery croissant as I added it to my bag of pain au chocolate. I'm such an arm twister.... CAUTION! Digression ahead: Recently, I had been excited about a different croissant purchase at a sandwich shop in Sunland-Tujunga, only to bite into something that was more like Pilsbury canned dough than a real buttery French croissant. I guess that unpleasant experience made me long for pastry vindication and Bon Apetit came through for the win! But even before my first bite, I asked Bruno what type of chocolate he used in the pain au chocolate. 'Today Belgian. I get Belgian if I cannot get French, because they are practically the same,' he replied in his lovely French accent. And I melted. FINALLY! I was getting AUTHENTIC pain au chocolate! I'm telling you, when you have had the real thing, an imitation French pastry, made with anything less than quality European butter and chocolate just won't satisfy. We enjoyed our lovely, delicious pastries a bit later, while visiting Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite. Briefly, I tried letting the pain au chocolate sit in the warmth of the sun's rays atop my dashboard, wishing I had a way to heat the pain au chocolate enough to soften the chocolate, but I just couldn't wait. I was still very happy and satisfied with the flaky, light buttery taste of the pastry and the wonderful flavor and texture of the chocolate inside. I am adding Bon Apetit - Crepes, Croissants & More to my "Cali Road-tripping" bookmarks and look forward to bringing my French pastry loving bestie with me for my return visit. Cheers! CC

    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.
