Especially the girl that took our order, Kira, greeted us with a smile and was so sweet in answering all my matcha questions. I came for the coffee but the food- THE FOOD is so good. Best macaroons I've ever had- and I've had a lot! Espresso martinis were too good to be true and they don't come in those tiny glasses- it comes in a bigger glass- much more enjoyable to drink out of!

I ordered a cake for my daughter's baby shower from Jolene's Sweets…read more I wanted a moist cake with some specific requests regarding filling and frosting. Most other bakeries in the area had poor reviews related specifically to cakes, as well as much higher prices. I am absolutely thrilled with the service and quality of the cake I received. The entire process was easy, with Jolene offering suggestions to meet my needs as well as providing a beautifully decorated, delicious cake that exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this business and will absolutely be a repeat customer!

Dobra Tea is my FAVORITE place to eat in Southern Oregon for many reasons:…read more 1. The quality of the food is exceptional 2. They are consistent, which I value highly. 3. No matter what I order, it tastes absolutely delicious. And when I leave, I feel super healthy and filled with vitality. 4. The folks that work here are generally very sweet. Periodically, more training may be needed in how to serve customers properly, e.g., ensure they have utensils and follow-up after serving to make certain customers received all the ingredients in whatever they ordered, but overall their kindness and sweetness make up for any oversights. I have so many great memories of this place during the 12 years that my husband and I have lived here. I remember driving into Ashland in the middle of a snowstorm because I had an appointment with my yoga teacher and I do NOT cancel on her. After we finished yoga, I decided to pop in to Dobra tea and get a hot mushroom latte. I sat at one of the tables in the front room looking out at the snow falling. Almost no one was out and it was like being in the middle of a snow globe with a warm cup in my hand. Another time I was there with a friend for lunch. He ordered their avocado toast with egg, which I had never ordered before. He insisted I take a bite, which I graciously agreed to do. The flavors were so exquisite that it immediately became one of my many favorite things to order at Dobra. I learned they make their own English muffins, which is the "toast". Wow!!!!!! So many lovely memories here -- and I expect to co-create MANY more. Thank you for being so exceptional at what you do!

Knowing that I decided to pop in for a treat I was immediately hit in the face by a terrible smell I 100% should have hightailed it out of there but went against my better judgement decided to try a lemon cookie. It was undercooked and the icing was rock hard and it had a weird flavor I would expect was from the smell in the air. The ladies working the front were both inviting and friendly that's why I decided to give the place two stars for them and one for my favorite treat. I like to support small businesses so I will return to give them one more chance. Hopefully my treat I'll be available but I will only buy it if they've rectified that smell.

I've shopped here frequently when I was in Ashland and I loved their cakes. I purchase a chocolate…read morecake and served it to kids under the age of seven and one of the kids was removing something from his mouth. I called market of choice spoke to the bakery manager and I was absolutely disgusted by this individual. I said there was a piece of paper with tape and it has ingredients on it with the number 5. She says that that is normal thing for displayed cakes and scoffed it doesn't have ingredients on it like I was lying. It's on the bottom of the cake and she then says you didn't see the plastic when you were serving these cakes to these kids? First of all no I did not, omg are you suggesting I was negligent? I cut the cake in wedges from the box and served it flat on a white plate. I remember looking at the plates and did not see it. I did not expect the plastic. I suspect that it was wedged on the side of the cake and it got pushed in. It went unnoticed because if you see the picture it's pretty noticeable, it's an 1.5" piece of paper with plastic tape but if it's in the cake I'm not going to see it. They offered a refund and they can have it. I am dissatisfied with this place and their lack of professionalism. I was an upset mom and they treated me like I was culpable of serving plastics to little kids. To the manager who called me a liar that there was no ingredients on the paper, read it for yourself. I was simply describing what was found in the cake.

i really wanted to like vida baking co. because everyone talks it up, but honestly it just didn't…read morelive up to the hype for me. the place looks cute and cozy when you walk in, but it was way more crowded than i expected and kinda stressful just trying to stand in line. nobody really explained where the line even started so people were just awkwardly hovering. i got a latte and an acai bowl and both were just... okay at best. the coffee tasted straight up burnt and bitter, like the espresso shot sat way too long or something. i still drank it because it wasn't cheap, but it definitely wasn't enjoyable. the acai bowl looked pretty but the fruit didn't seem very fresh and the texture was kinda watery. the wait felt really long for just coffee and food. i don't mind waiting if something is amazing, but nothing really stood out. the staff weren't rude or anything, just seemed overwhelmed and not very welcoming. what bothered me most though was that the place just felt unsanitary. i saw an employee making a sandwich wearing only a single glove instead of two and it just kinda grossed me out. maybe there's a reason for that but it didn't look very clean or professional. maybe i just went on an off day, but for the prices i expected way better quality and service. i left feeling disappointed and still kinda hungry which sucks for a bakery experience.

As far as Cupcakes go... this is the place for unique specialty cupcakes frosted to order. This is…read morethe 1st time I've seen a place frost each cupcake "to order" to ensure freshness. On a weekday, late morning, there was a short line. Everyone ahead of me ordered at least 2 cupcakes *good sign*. I new mom carrying their very new baby in a Mayan sling wrap order "one for now, one to go". An older couple ordered one each to sit and enjoy. I went big and ordered a dozen for a family get together (assuming 2 per person). I'm not into sugary sweets, so keep that in mind when I say that it's 50% frosting / 50% cake was a little too much frosting for me personally. That being said, the descriptions of each cupcake can not be more accurate. There are a few cupcakes that have filling (lemon and raspberry for sure), EVERY cupcake is moist and flavorful and exactly as described. Skip the birthday cupcakes and since you're paying specialty prices, pick a unique flavor that you can't make at home. Vanilla pecan Bourbon *yes please* Support A Local Business! Come Here :)

The decor was a definitely fun one, with Mickey and Mini Mouse and Jack Skellington adorning the walls.

I ordered the carrot cake cup cake to go . There is a nice small table and chairs in the front of the business where you can sit down and enjoy your purchase. The folks working here are really friendly and full of great information. When I come back to Grants Pass this will be one of my first stops, highly recommend

They bake everything and don't fry so if you are looking for a traditional donut then you are at the wrong place. The drip coffee was good and the ambiance was very homey and nice.
