The plate my breakfast was served on today looked terrible with five or six huge chips around the edge. I've noticed this in the past on coffee cups, but have never said anything. They should discard all chipped cracked or broken dishes, and replace them. It makes the food look very unappetizing. Service and food are great. It's just I don't like eating off of dishes that should be thrown away.

The cake has somehow disassembled itself on the couple's ride up to Hollister. I frantically started calling local bakeries until luckily, I stumbled upon Silvia. She kindly and patiently stayed on the phone with me while I described exactly how the cake was supposed to look like and taste. She was eager to get this done for the lovely couple, even if it meant staying up late or getting up early. She communicated with us the entire time, updating us as the cake (very quickly) came together. Within just a few hours the cake was ready and it looked EXACTLY as I had described- not a detail was off. The next morning the cake was in our fridge and a couple of hours later it was displayed and cut by the bride and groom on their big day. Silvia absolutely saved my best friend's wedding. We can't thank her enough. And as for the taste of the cake, I've attached a video of the bride's reaction that says it all. Thank you!

Unfortunately it was not what I expected. Visually it looked like the picture. However, the flavor…read moreof the butter cream frosting gave off waxy feel, the cupcakes are small, and nothing special as far as quality and texture is concerned. For $50 I expected way more for what I received. Considering back in the day if you want to an old school cupcake store the premium cupcakes had high price points. In San Diego a dozen cupcakes with premium ingredients and chocolate chips in side, go for around 36$. Not worth the product.

If you want to experience the absolute best of Hollister, Sun Coast Bakery is the place to be. I've…read morebeen to many spots in town, but if I'm bringing friends or family from out of town to show them what our community is all about, this is officially my #1 choice. Everything we had was perfect. The sweets are incredible--they hit that rare balance of being flavorful and satisfying without being "too sweet." You can tell there is real craftsmanship in the baking. The atmosphere here perfectly encapsulates the Hollister spirit. It has that beautiful country, organic, farm-to-table feel that makes you want to stay all day. A huge shoutout to David, who did an amazing job basically building everything himself; the attention to detail in the space is stunning. The staff is top-tier as well. Our bartender outside was incredibly sweet and made us feel right at home. The only downside? I wish they were open more days! This place is a local treasure. If you haven't been yet, you are seriously missing out on a quintessential Hollister experience.

Now it's kinda out in the middle of nowhere. It seems as though if you're not a local. And then you turn into this long driveway and you see how super cute it is. It's like an old mini western town. The initial views make you wanting more. Walk up the ramp into their bakery. They had all sorts of yummie looking #pastries to drool over. They have cookies, ice cream and a few hot and cold meals. We shared a pumpkin croissant which was topped with toasted almonds. I suggest getting it warmed up. Their selections change with the seasons so be sure to check their website on their offerings. We sat outside to admire the views. Wow. I'm so thankful to have come across this place. Perfect for sitting in silence and relaxing or to enjoy the company of good vibes. There's tons of seating and so much to look at. Outside they've also got beer on tap. My pictures don't do it justice, but I assure you, you will not be disappointed. And as you drive off, be sure to drive slow and check out all of the cute decor and signs they have along the way.

Best bread in Hollister, Always fresh and staff are always friendly. Everytime I go in there it just makes me want to get one of each. Not sure about comments being made toward the workers, they are always smiling and nice when I go. Highly recommend the "Cuernos" and "Conchas" they are the best. read more
