Service is always great, with the amount of people that come in it's nice to see the staff always with a smile and dressed for the occasion. If you don't know the store downtown where the state park is, all the stores / shops / vendors, and live musicians all wear clothing from the gold rush era. It's pretty cool. The store is welll worth the stop , but try to get there early it's a small shop and they get pretty crowded fast.

The way they make it creates a true sour dough taste. I have to steel myself from not getting carried away with the cookies and other temptations because they are sooooo tasty.

We decided to stop into this cute little bakery because we were a few minutes early to our…read moredestination. I wasn't hungry, so my husband picked a few items that he thought he might like . Sourdough snickerdoodle cookie, breakfast muffin, and the nice gal threw in a lemon tart. The breakfast muffin was covered with crumble and oats which made my husband anticipate a brown sugar crumble topping like you would put on coffee cake . Except this crumble tasted like breadcrumbs with a few oatmeal pieces sprinkled in. The muffin itself was like a carrot cake with little bits of carrot and raisin visible with just the slightest hint of spice, otherwise, tasteless, although the presentation was very nice . The snickerdoodle cookie had a nice sour flavor but was dry and unappealing. The lemon tart had no lemon flavor. Maybe it was marked wrong? I've heard great reviews about their sourdough. We didn't try it. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be coming back .

I love an independent candy store!…read more While visiting Columbia Park, we stopped into Nelson's per our friend's recommendation. The inside was lined on both sides with some many different candies - I was almost overwhelmed! They had fresh fruit jellies, dark and milk chocolates, rock candy, marshmallows - I could go on and on! We took home the jellies, dark chocolate almond bark, a discounted Valentine's Day chocolate heart box, handmade marshmallows and a couple of other goodies! Staff were friendly! The inside had an old western feel to it and they even had old school cash registers. It's a great place to pick up a gift and they have different holiday options - I even saw St. Patrick's Day candy out already! Check them out!

I think Nelson's is my favorite candy store (ever). They hand make a lot of candies there, and in…read morethe wintertime they have candy cane making that people can do too! My favorite chocolates they make are pine nut rolls - which are also around the winter holidays. They always theme their shop around the season or holiday, and it's always well done and incredibly cute. The girls who work there are so friendly and helpful, and every time I've gotten candy as a gift for someone, their wrapping job is exquisite. I'm a local and it's a struggle not to just come get candy here every week. I recently went sugar free and they've even got something for me. Would absolutely recommend anyone stop in, they've got options for just about anyone.

Sugar Score For The Win…read more My husband knows a quality dessert - and The Sugar Sorceress definitely delivered on taste this past weekend. Katlyn's creations are not only delicious - but they're also darling. Each one is crafted with such care and intent - -that you almost don't want to eat them. They're just too darn cute! Katlyn is The Sugar Sorceress - creating pure magic in the kitchen on the regular. She masterfully whips up masterful standard and custom cakes for different spots in and around the Tuolumne County area. I believe as of now you can find her enchanting baked goods at various local farmer's markets, local events, and at The Service Station etc. Her baking truly is a versatile artform. She can produce the most beautiful little hand held colorful cake - decorated with absolute precision, in addition to manifesting a more straightforward (yet, I'm sure absolutely delicious) chocolate caramel brownie and/or cinnamon roll. She is also able to create beautiful gluten free, vegan, and dairy free desserts in addition to straightforward butter filled baked goods - rich with taste and elegance. If you're looking for something sweet, or something a little less sweet - Katlyn is your Sugar Sorceress. She knows how to craft the perfect dessert for anybody and everybody. This past weekend - I picked up a charming individual sized Biscoff Cookie cake as well as a gluten-free, and vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie - from her dessert stand at a local event. My husband loved both items and they were the perfect size - for a late night treat. The Biscoff Cookie cake was a punch of buttery cinnamon and brown sugar, and the cookie was also bursting with flavor. If you're looking for a unique dessert spread or special custom cake for a big occasion - check out The Sugar Sorceress. Also - be sure to stay tuned to her Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/sugarsorceress to learn of where her delightful creations and dessert booth will be set up next. Trust.

It was a bit smaller but the options did NOT disappoint they had my favorite chocolate marshmallow treats just one thing I wish they had was more sour candy options. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough because there is always a lot going on in these candy shops but I never seem to find the sour stuff, I will try harder to keep an eye out next time! The service is wonderful there was an older lady who helped me that was SO sweet and she was on it! Being that it was 4th of July weekend as you can imagine this place was PACKED! But I still got my chocolates! I didn't get her name but she's an absolute sweetheart so major shout out to her!! The vibe as I mentioned was very busy lol. It's similar to the Columbia location but about half the size therefore half the crowd but still busy as heck! Perhaps heading there when they first open and all the chocolates and sweet treats are fresh is key to avoid the crowds!! All and all 1000/10 I will always come back to here!! It's their fresh milk chocolates for me!
