Unfortunately I showed up midday and they were sold out of a lot of items…read more This place is located downtown Visalia so parking during peak hours is awful. The reason for 2 stars is due to seeing a couple of flies in within the baked goods display case. Restaurants and bakeries should invest in down-draft or downward-blowing air curtains that create a high-velocity barrier of air over open doors and entryways to block flies and other pests from entering a building. Unfortunately I didn't see the flies until after I paid for my order. I will have to observe better in the future. I purchased 4 items and my total was roughly $32 1. Tokyo Toast is my absolute favorite and unfortunately they only had one left. This is thick-cut of Japanese milk bread that is lightly caramelized...so delicious! 5/5 2. Banana Boat, a round croissant type pastry with a center filled with banana cream and topped with a meringue. 5/5 3. Pistachio croissant 5/5 4. Marshmallow croissant 5/5 Their baked goods are outstanding and customer service is decent. They're a bit pricey. They have a very small eating area. My overall rating reflects the couple of flies in the baked goods display case. But the baked goods are a 5-star rating

I know I didn't have to say "Pan Dulce" but I like saying it and you should too! It's not often you stop at a wonderful Bakery like this. The people are all so friendly, inviting and helpful. Yes some are fluent in Spanish only and that's ok, it really brings extra charm to the place. Every bread, cookie, donut you taste from here is being made with love and recipes dating back years and lifetimes. We finally stopped by and the truck was Open! They have a food truck where they make breakfast and lunch items. They had an Asada Burrito, "which can be made as a breakfast burrito", but I opted for the lunch version. The nice girl taking my order spoke more Spanish than English but I managed to understand "Con Todo" meaning "with everything", that comes with (beans, rice, cabbage, onions, cilantro). It was just ok. The meat really didn't have flavor, nor did the rice and beans. I tasted more cabbage than anything. The salsas were good, it just wasn't enough to carry the overall flavor of the burrito. I would suggest absolutely getting some pastries from here. They have a wide selection and you grab yourself a pan and some tongs at the entrance and have at it. The taco truck I would suggest maybe trying breakfast over lunch, but again my taste buds might differ from yours.

I've definitely been coming here since the beginning (before patio seating and mobile orders) haha thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded (3 locations now -- Visalia, Tulare, Fresno). There's something for everyone on their Menu. I personally believe that they have some of the best matcha's around. BUT... if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener, you probably won't like a real matcha from here -- I say this because some will complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol--all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out.. definitely a favorite here in Visalia! Service and time... always as expected. You are getting hand crafted drinks and food, so don't expect them to rush. ****Rush hour in the am and during lunch hours**** The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products. This was a Huge plus for me, because sometimes I like to ask the employees for their recommendations or personal favorites! They usually end up being pretty darn good Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha my mom loves their avo or seasonal toast/ my dad loves the breakfast burritos! I will always come here for food/homemade pastries, a drink, to work, or to hang out with my loved ones! Thank you Component team for making every visit a good one

Component Coffee Lab sits tucked behind the downtown buildings, the kind of spot you don't stumble…read moreinto by accident. You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

What makes this worse is that when I attempted to call the store, the phone lines were down. We had to ask the restaurant next door (Masuruas) to bring their phone over so we could reach someone. Only then did the staff admit, "oh yes, it has coconut... oh, and almonds too." This level of misinformation is dangerous and unacceptable.

Goodies Cookies and Cakes did an amazing job on my wedding cake!! Not only did it look absolutely beautiful, but it was also the most delicious wedding cake I've ever tasted! (Usually I find at weddings that the cake is on the dry side and the frosting is almost always way too sweet) The balance of flavors was perfect! I choose the lemon cake with raspberry filling/cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate cake with salted caramel buttercream. I can honestly say that it was completely devoured and that everyone remarked how delicious it was. Natalie is a joy to work with, and overall it was a great experience!! On the fence about where to get a wonderful cake? Schedule a tasting with Goodies and you won't be disappointed :-) Erika, a happy bride read more

Natalie and her team are AMAZING. I used Goodies Cookies in 2010 for an extraordinary Groom's Cake to surprise my husband on our wedding day. It was a chocolate fudge cake with ganache, with a hunter/Jeep scene, with chocolate strawberries and shotgun shells, duck decoys, and a Jeep parked on the top. It was such a beautiful and clever artistic piece. In 2024 I was devastated to lose my husband, but Natalie helped me create a beautiful Jeep adventure cake for his memorial celebration, and it too was absolutely amazing. Her team delivered the masterpiece to the event, and made sure the details were exquisite and perfect. I am so very happy with their stellar service and custom design and bakery service. read more

Thru the years Valentines to Christmas, I've occasionally buy there holiday cookies. Why not spread joy through cute cookies. Goodies Cookies that is. They are so cutely decorated and tasty too. Recently I ordered a special 3tiered cake for my nieces quince (15yr party). They did an amazing job portraying the picture I sent them in designing the cake. It was exactly how we wanted it to come out. The Red Velvet Cake was moist and tasty. Yum. I also asked for some specialty cookies for Valentines. Again all I showed was a picture of what I wanted and Voila. Thank You Ladies of Goodies Cookies. Your talents are greatly appreciated. read more

I recently ordered 2 dozen of the cutest turtle themed cupcakes from Goodies Cookies Bouquets & Balloons for a Friend's Baby Shower. I know... "Cupcakes"... from a Cookie store?!?!?!? Who would have thought??? I have only one word to describe them.... AAAAAMAZING, INCREDIBLE, SPECTACULAR, and oh so DELICIOUS!!!! Okay, that was maybe, more than one word but, Oh Man were they a HUGE hit! Each little cupcake was made with tons of TLC and came out exactly how we ordered them! The owner, the workers, the price, the cup cakes... EVERYTHING was perfect!!!!! I will recommend Goodies over, and over, and over again!!!! read more

I have used them many times. I first used them for my daughters 1st birthday cake and it turned out beautiful! Plus the cake tasted AMAZING! I also used them for my wedding cake which was such a hit! I thought it turned out beatiful. I asked them to make a grooms cake for the night of my wedding rehearsal. My husband is into brewing beer. They made a mug of beer with foam running down the side. It was awesome! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone. I plan on using them again for every event!!! read more

Goodies made a cake for my baby shower and not only was it a beautiful cake but it was so moist and full of flavor! Everyone gushed over how cute it was and not a single plate was left with cake on it. I took the top tier home and two days later it was just as moist and yummy as when it was delivered. Not to mention that everyone in Goodies is kind, helpful, and friendly. I highly suggest Goodies for everything from a dozen cookies to multi-tier wedding cake! read more

Other caterers couldn't be bothered to respond to messages or send menus. Rosalinda responded promptly to messages and provided the kind of individualized attention that one wants when planning a special event like a wedding reception. I felt very good about supporting this small family business. I was amazed at how many different types of cuisine Melrose International offers. We ended up having Mexican and Filipino food with gluten-free and vegetarian options. Rosalinda was even willing to make a garlic-free meal for one guest who can't eat garlic! The enchiladas and Mexican rice were my favorite dishes. Rosalinda and her employees worked very hard, including cooking on a grill outside in the hot sun at our reception venue. Her staff was efficient in serving food and even put the leftovers in containers we provided. One bit of advice: make sure to read over the detailed order list Rosalinda provides. I didn't read it closely enough, and there were some differences between what we had discussed and what was listed. I take responsibility for not paying closer attention. There were just too many things to do at the same time. Rosalinda offered to cut our wedding cake (made by someone else) for no additional charge, something no other caterer in the area seems to offer. (They often charge $2/slice!)
