    Avocado Toast
    Jennifer N.

    Goodness Cafe is a quaint little spot just a few short blocks outside of the main downtown shopping area. It's worth the walk up the hill and pay them a visit. It's a family run business that serves up fresh sandwiches, lattes, specialty empanadas, salads and more! I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for a late lunch a decided on the avocado toast and an iced lavender latte. It was the perfect little spot for a relaxing meal, especially as I was traveling solo that day. I felt immediately welcomed and relaxed in their space. The avocado toast was amazing-nicely seasoned and topped with an egg cooked to perfection. The latte wasn't overly sweet but had the lavender flavor stand out. Wonderful place for a coffee or light meal. Highly recommend stopping in and enjoying all the "goodness" of Goodness Cafe!

    Cute place

    What a great experience we had at this place for lunch. Enjoyed the conversation with the owner. The food was awesome! They did not skimp on the meat or anything for that matter. We definitely will be going back.

    We visit Sonora often to walk and window shop, catch some of the local hiking trails, and find a bite to eat while there. Usually find a spot where we can share a meal. We always have our pup in tow so a dog friendly place is a must. We were blown away by the food, we tried three of these empanadas, and two pupusas to share. The food was excellent, the empanada dough was extremely soft, buttery and flaky. The cheese perfectly melted in both the empanada and te pupusa. The chimichurri sauce was perfect glarlic and parsley blend, they can easily bottle that up and sell it. We sat in their back patio away from the street noise, we arrived mid afternoon so it was not too busy just a couple other patrons. We will have to make it a point to to stop by again and try one of their sandwiches, the wait staff is so attentive and made suggestions, next time we will try their cubano sandwich.

    So good, we ate here twice in a row! I've been wanting to visit Goodness Cafe for a while and I'm really glad we finally had the time. My boyfriend and I went here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and it was busy, but everyone was really nice and took our order quickly. It seems like they have a handful of regulars, which is always a good sign. The cafe is small with limited seating. Regardless of the space, we were able to find a table to enjoy our meals and all the tables were clean. We ordered their Italiano sandwich, mushroom empanada, and an iced latte during our first visit. The sandwich was delicious and PACKED with meat. The empanada was, hands down, the best empanada I've had. The pastry was flaky and delicious, not heavy or dry. The food was so good that I wanted to come back to try their pupusas, which is exactly what we did. We came back the following morning and ordered their pork and cheese and bean and cheese pupusas. I was not disappointed. Goodness Cafe is a gem and ran by wonderful people. Keep in mind that food is made to order and you may need to wait longer for your food, but it's worth the wait.

    There's Always fresh baked treats. Perfect ambience to enjoy an early morning breakfast. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    I'm in love with their papusas!

    Amazing service, they always great us with a smile and are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. ambiance is relaxed, clean, organized, very pleasant, cozy the food, omg so good! Nowhere else in town you'll find papusas and empanadas made right then and there with the best and freshest ingredients! Love, love these guys!! And highly recommend. Ps. In response to the flag review. This individual didn't bother to go inside and let them know there was an issue. It was an accident that was promptly corrected.

    This is a must visit next time you're in Sonora!! The coffee is from El Salvador and absolutely incredible! They have six or seven different kinds of empanadas. The two we tried were over-the-top delicious. My friend couldn't decide between a bagel or a breakfast burrito and the owner offered him the best of both worlds and made him a bagel sandwich completely off menu. M y husband had the breakfast burrito, which was unlike any he ever had. It was filled with scrambled eggs and cheese and bacon wrapped in a tortilla and pressed in an iron like a sandwich. All four of us could not get over how good the food was! The service was above and beyond, and the decor was super cute. You will not regret eating here!

    The food here is delicious and special. The Goodness Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches are to die for!! Also choose from 5 varieties of Authentic El Salvadoran pupusas! Specialty coffees are created with personal charm and design. The atmosphere here is spacious with a great indoor and outdoor seating. Much better than their former location. Prompt Service with a smile too!

    Come and support a family ran cafe! Service was very personal. I did not have a coffee bc it was mid day for me but it smelled and looked great. I had 2 empanadas (chard one and mushroom one) that were delicious. I will be coming back to try their pupusas that are only sold on Friday or Saturday.

    I visited West Coast Sourdough - Sonora in Sonora, CA [1221 Sanguinetti Rd] on multiple occasions…read moredue to ordering catered lunch for business meetings: 04/07/26 (group of 10 people), 05/21/26 (group of 10 people), and 06/02/26 (group of 27 people). For each catered order, I selected the 6" (regular) lunchbox option. The meal came with a sandwich, chips, and a drink. The sandwiches were typically customized with sourdough bread, mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, with meat options of either Ham, Salami, Turkey, and/or Veggie. The assortment of chips was by Miss Vickie's and the options for the bottled drinks were water bottles, sweet/unsweetened teas, diet soda, regular soda, etc. Each lunchbox was crafted and prepared to perfection. The sandwiches were extremely good, as the ingredients were delicious and fresh. For the April & May orders (group meetings of 10 people each), the pickup time was completed on time as anticipated. Unfortunately for the recent June order (group meeting of 27 people), I requested the pick up time @10:45AM. I had to wait an additional 35 minutes for it to be ready. This result caused me to arrive at my business meeting much later than anticipated. It was almost a good thing that I put 10:45am, because had I put a later time, I could have been super late. To me, perhaps this location doesn't have the capacity to make big orders scheduled on time. I will consider coming back for catered orders for a group of 10 or less. Anything over that, I will find another restaurant that will provide larger orders on time for pickup.

    Second time eating at the local West Coast Sourdough. Service is usually quick. This time I ordered…read morethe Turkey & Cranberry Sandwich with the side of Mac & Cheese. The turkey & cranberry was delicious but I prefer the Turkey Pesto. The Mac & Cheese is a white cheddar mac, and is really good. There is plenty of seating and the staff is friendly. The sourdough is really delicious and I will be back to try some of their other items.

Now the pretty girls that helped me come up with drink was a fantastic smoothie rather than a coffee which I love to switch things up they were about to combine a strawberry with a mangle one and kg was Soooo Yummy!!! Highly recommend! As for the ambiance a chill cute vibes coffee shop per usual more merch, things to do, and things to eat and drink in the area. (Sorry Starbucks still love ya) but the service and everything else here is AMAZING!!! I love coming here!
