They had lots of produce and preserved veggies in jars! They also had a sample area where you could try various apples, pickled veggies, fudge and apple cider! We decided to have sweets before lunch and ordered their strawberry ice cream sandwich and strawberry pie! The strawberry ice cream and donut combo was delicious!! We would order it again in a heartbeat! The strawberry pie tasted like it was just strawberry jam as the filling and we didn't really like it much. Their burgers were so delicious and the sauce they offered were so good!! They had a chipotle and BBQ sauce that was so good that we regretted not asking if they sold it there to bring home with us! Can't wait to be back in the fall for more!!

We found Dolfo's at one of Elk Grove's outdoor events at the aquatic and civic center. The donuts were there at the right time because I was craving donuts! I ordered 2 dozen donuts, one cinnamon and one powdered. The workers were friendly and I received my fresh order about 15 minutes after I ordered. The donuts were not oily and my favorite of the two was the powdered donuts. Only after I ordered did I realize there was a bucket bucket special for $20 and I intend to order that next time to try out the other flavors.

That restaurant moved down the road to a bigger location. Now it's the home for Sunshine Donuts. They have darn delicious donuts! I only tried their donuts; at least for now. They also sell bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hot coffee, and a humongous cold case of nonalcoholic drinks (milk, teas, sodas, seltzers, waters. juices, energy drinks, and coffee drinks). Lots of drink choices to quench your thirst even if donuts aren't your thing. I know my way around a donut. Having been a connoisseur from an early age, thanks dad. The donuts sat so prettily behind the glass counter. All so gorgeous without bubbling and cracked glazes. That tells me they know how to handle the various doughs and baking methods for the donuts. I bought one of each: cake, glazed and old fashion. And ate them right away. Mmm. Delicious. The vanilla cake with white frosting tasted rich and dense like a cake. Not heavy. The glazed donut was light, fluffy, with a slight all so prefect signature donut chew. Beautiful glazing, not too sweet. My favorite. The old fashion like the cake donut had a tasty cakey interior but classic crackly outside texture. The family that owns the business knows donuts! And are so welcoming, epitome of a local donut shop. Throwing out a history lesson: This area is informally called Gutenberg Corner. The Victorian house across the street was built around 1859 by the local mill owner. Then purchased in 1912 by pharmacist Gutenberg. He owned a 400+ acre ranch along with a pharmacy. Asian owned business.

I placed an order on Monday for 30 doughnuts for my daughter's class birthday celebration and was…read morequoted $30 total. I even confirmed the price during the phone call because I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. The order was very simple , plain doughnuts, half maple and half chocolate. When I came in on Wednesday to pick them up, I added 4 additional doughnuts at the counter for my family. The total came out to $62, which was more than double what I had been quoted. I asked if the amount was correct and explained that I had been told $30 for the original order. The employee recalculated it and still said it was correct, then asked if I still wanted them. Unfortunately, this put me in a very uncomfortable position because there were people behind me, my children were with me, and the doughnuts were for my daughter's school class. I felt embarrassed and pressured into paying an amount I was not prepared for based on the quote I had received. Mistakes happen, but the situation was handled with very little concern or effort to make it right. The experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning.

So, we rented the fishing rod for $12 but we didn't catch anything (not sure if there're any fish in the pond) - it was fun though. - Apple fritter walnut ($7): the fritter was good & cinnamony. It has lots of apple pieces and was covered with walnuts. It wasn't too sweet which was my liking. - Donut crumb ($2): the donut was good and soft. The crumb gave crunchy texture on the surface of the donut. - Dutch apple pie slice ($6): was ok. There were packed with apple pieces, very cinnamony and not too sweet. However, the crumb on top of the pie (that makes it 'Dutch') was disappointing - it was soggy and clumpy. - Sour cream berry pie ($6): delicious! The sour cream intensified the berry flavor and it was super good!

We got here on a Monday (11/24) around 10:30am and it was starting to get busy. We found parking right away close to the tent vendors. The line for the donuts/fritters was not bad at all. Took about 5 minutes. The staff members were efficient and nice. The only disappointment was no hot cider :( not sure if this is/isn't a thing at this farm, but that was one thing we were looking forward to. We rounded up all our treats and sat in the balcony patio of the Pie House. The tables and benches were a little damp, but we were able to easily wipe it down and enjoy the sun, crisp air and our delicious goodies!

They serve organic coffee and I could really taste the difference. They currently have a seasonal menu and their regular menu included some unique options. The maple latte caught my eye; I ordered it with oat milk and it was one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Seriously! It wasn't overpoweringly sweet, but there was enough flavor so it actually tasted like a maple latte instead of a warm milk as many special drinks end up tasting from my experience. It's always disappointing to buy an expensive coffee that doesn't have enough flavor, but you'll get what you pay for here. They offer a few little snacks and there is tons of seating (indoor and outdoor!) with beautiful natural light, art and plants. The baristas were kind and helpful and made beautiful latte art. If you love it as much as I did, you can even buy coffee beans and merchandise as well. It's tucked away in downtown placerville and I would highly recommend Pachamama to everyone!

This particular one is in Placerville, right on touristy Main Street. Well It's actually tucked in a shopping pedestrian alley right off Main Street. The coffee is delicious. I've had their various drip coffees before, all terrific tasting. My usual go to's are their lattes. This time I was in the mood for a seasonal winter drink, wintermint mocha. Yum! I ordered it with oat milk and they don't up charge. The mocha had a smooth, creamy chocolate espresso taste. I even got a pretty design of foamed milk on top of my drink. Aww it was cute. No up charge for that as well and I didn't even ask them to do it Outside the cafe is an outdoor courtyard with bistro tables for folks to sit n enjoy their coffee or whatever. I say whatever because the area is open for all to sit a spell. The courtyard is enclosed with brick buildings around its square perimeter. The buildings provide ample shade and cooling temps in the summer. Plus there is a water fountain that provides a calming zen like sound of trickling water. The cafe also has an indoor seating area. The interior furniture includes tables, sofas, lounge chairs, and high top tables aesthetically giving off modern, minimalist Scandinavian design vibes. Luvin this look.

I'm only writing this review because of the offensively disgusting egg bites. Egg powder, milk powder, donut shaped weapons. Your egg bites are BAD, corporate.

Ten minutes after getting our order, both breakfast sandwiches were cold. Not "could be hotter"…read morecold -- actually cold, with part of the egg still cold like it barely touched heat. The cheese looked like it was thrown on straight from the fridge and left there as an afterthought. The hash browns tasted like freezer burn and old oil, like they were made yesterday and reheated. For the prices you charge, serving food this bad is insulting. Warming up breakfast food should not be a challenge, yet somehow this place failed at the most basic part of its job. This wasn't a minor mistake, this was lazy, careless food prep and zero quality control. If you can't serve hot breakfast, maybe stop selling breakfast.

We spent most of our time here. There was a lot to do including an actual u-pick Apple orchard. Apple Ridge Farms is dog friendly. BBQ and Bakery with a full menu including sandwiches, salads and sides. They had a special on apple pies this weekend... $20 for a whole pie. Picnic Area - got our lunch and enjoyed it in the covered picnic area. Love their fries! Apple Barn - frozen pies, pastries, apple cider, fresh apples, Christmas boutique Country Store - filled with jams, jellies, fudge, chocolates, and great gift ideas Nature trail - visitors are able to choose between an easy trail and a not-so-easy trail. We chose the easy trail but I think they are both easy. Flower trail - unfortunately our visit was in early November and we missed when the flowers were in bloom. September would be the best time to visit and check out the colorful zinnias. Free to access. Gem mining - daughter has enjoyed this activity in other places since she was little. She's 23 now and still has fun with this experience. There is a fee for this activity. Pop ups Artisan Crafters - arts & crafts including wood works, handmade jewelry, handcrafted soaps and candles, paintings, dried nuts and fruits. Unique finds! Face painting - we did not do this activity due to time constraints but daughter had wanted one of Patrick Starr (SpongeBob Square Pants)... next time! Portable toilets are on-site.

I quickly glanced and the menu as the person at the front greeted me- as I did not see juices, I asked if they had any. The person shouted to the someone at the back to double check, but they did not have any. So, for the record, the categorization is wrong. I had to choose then one of their proteins that, although look healthy, had names that would make you think otherwise like birthday cake, mint oreo, cinnamon toast crunch? Really? I guess that is what they consider healthy in this area. Waited around looking at the pace, nicely put together but not the cleanest. Had the orange mango one. It was ok, a bit heavy, but I was told it had so many grams of protein so I guess it is healthy? MAy you find this place more satisfying than I did.
