    We were able to take our lunch out on the lake, so much fun!
    Sarah N.

    Minus one star for allowing my order to just set and get soggy. Upon entering we are greeted by a very friendly parking attendant who gave us plenty of information about the Lake and for that we were grateful. Our visit was to paddle on the lake and grab a bite. Everything is so well maintained and signage is everywhere for first timers like me. Prices are great for rentals so we decided on a 4 hour paddle boat rental. Staff is friendly and very patient with my many questions. Lots of space for everyone to play and have a good time!

    The Harris hamburger and fries were not tasty. I would not recommend it. I also bought ice cream with the waffle cone. It was really good. The view to the lake is amazing.

    The Saturday weather was perfect. The were 75% full that day. It took about 15 min to obtain 2 soft serve cones and a soda. The pricing is reasonable. The staff is friendly to everyone. I have a variety of food on the menu Focus on any of the main dishes after this visit.

    They have the BEST soft serve ice cream! Absolutely love it. So yummy! The hot dogs are really good too! The burgers are mediocre though. I stick with the soft serve and the hot dogs to stay safe :)

    Got a couple burgers a couple days ago from there completely awful. Staff is full of children who aren't trained right or just don't care.

    A pretty decent burger joint for this area. The food is not bad, and the staff is great. The folks who work here are simply wonderful.

    Still the best burgers, cheese fries (with Jalapeños) and soft serve ice creams of my life- consistently the best for 20+ years.

I have tried a few things on there menu, all look so good tho. I really like the breakfast burrito, with bacon. IT WAS SOOO GOOD! It hast to be one of my Fav breakfast Burrito since last time I can remember. The proportions were all perfect, egg, cheese, bacon, and maybe a little more spice if you are into that, I like it either way... I might add avocado if they could, sure small fee but thats a given and have you seen the prices of food these days.. lol Service , Hands down all the girls I talked to while we got breakfast, were super friendly, busy but were nice when i asked for a few other things, and then coming to get my order... ** This Business is more of point of sale or window order I guess? , and pick up, not waited on. And nothing wrong with that, Just saw one negitive Review out of sooo many. So take it as you will, they clean off things when they get around to it, Its a Pastry shop, tucked away in Tuolumne County. Up past the turn off to the Black Oak Casino , in the mountains, open up most seasons if not all just changed hours...** Ambiance, well. Its a little wooden shack , wood work is beautiful inside. I think it has 2 or 3 tables inside, and a bunch outside . No dogs / pets inside but I saw a dog or two in the patio area outside... And if any of the reviews on Yelp have helped, tell them Yelp sent you, I am sure they will appreciate it..

The morning offerings of muffins, croissants, scones, and cinnamon rolls has failed me. I will say the sandwiches are decent, but nothing to write home to. The smoothies used to epic, but they now fall flat. I'm think they are not using all the fruit as the old owners did. As for the staff....a little rude and it seemed like no one wanted to wipe the tables down. It's a cute place, but if I had a choice I would skip it and seek life elsewhere for some morning substance.

The lattes and hot food are brought to the table when they are ready. Everything was delicious, but pastries were exceptional. There's plenty of parking available and a perfect place to enjoy brunch before the long drive. I definitely recommend this place! Pro tips: check out their menu online to decide what you wanted before you get there so you can take time to decide on the pastries.

There's plenty of seating, indoors and outdoor. The weather was perfect, so we decided to sit outdoors where there was also a live jazz band. You order at the counter and then your food is brought out to you when ready. The line was pretty long when we went, and all of the menus were occupied. Luckily, their menu online is updated so we were still able to decide what we wanted before it was our turn to order. We ordered the turkey sandwich, banana pecan waffle, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Everything was delicious, but the waffle really stood out for me. There's also a section when you grab your own condiments indoors. There's plenty of parking available and the perfect place to enjoy a nice day outside. I definitely recommend this place!

The espresso machine was out, which wasn't a huge deal since drip coffee was available, but the coffee itself was honestly pretty bad. It also didn't help that we were told the flavored syrup drinks were basically the same as their espresso specialty drinks, but it tasted like water down drip coffee. I ordered the French toast plate and my partner got the biscuits and gravy. The bacon seemed undercooked, the pancakes were dry, the biscuits and gravy were burnt, and the gravy itself was runny. Overall, for a meal that ended up being over $50 with tip, we were really disappointed with the quality.

They have several items on their menu, such as sandwiches, burgers, salads, salmon, and steaks. They run specials on a given day. I seen on Saturday, a seafood boil bag for $56 I believe.

I ended up ordering a Diablo burger with a side salad. It had a sweet and a touch of spicy sauce in it with pepper jack in a soft bun. I really enjoyed it.

Menu is solid, especially their breakfast offerings. Major negative is that they don't have peanut butter available for pancakes/waffles. We usually get great service and prices are reasonable.
