    Yes indeed Columbia Kates Bakery has been around for a few years and whenever I would come out here…read moremy and my cousins make it a NECESSITY to get her amazing cinnamon rolls. They are by far not only the best in Columbia, but the whole area! They probably even beat Cinnabon they're so good! The workers here are absolute sweethearts!! And it's perfect timing that they open so early so I can get a nice sweet treat with my coffee in the morning!! These are fabulous!!! She also has a Columbia Cates Tea House which I actually have yet to eat there but it's also adorable and that one opens at 11 am I believe so I'll have to come a little later to try that one too and get the full experience!! The Ambiance is adorable!!! It's all white with cute lacey accents! The girly vibes get me EVERY TIME! It's like stepping into a Disney princess bakery, and the tea house is that way too! Love love love these places and so many delicious options here!!

    I love this place but when I had the cinnamon roll it was disappointing. It was early afternoon…read moreand a lot of baked goods were sold out. You have to come super early if you want to get what you like. The roll was a bit dry and cakey.. The service was exceptional. Not only did the employee add extra frosting but he also heated it! Now that's service! It's a small bakery yet popular. I'll have to come back another time.

    WOW! We found this shop the night before, when arriving at the same shopping plaza to have dinner…read moreat Strings Italian(please see separate review). I looked up Bon Apetit - Crepes, Croissants & More on Yelp, saw a very good rating, but not too much information and only a few photos. Considering this business has been here more than 12 years, and boasted baked goods, I HAD to do my research and provide a bit more information. We came in after our breakfast at My Garden Cafe(please see separate review), so we weren't hungry but, again, research was the goal. The space itself was a bit surprising. Having occupied this space for so many years, I guess I expected it to look more like a restaurant or kitchen of some kind. It doesn't. The large interior space has a few small bistro style patio tables and chairs (even outdoor umbrellas!) and - I think - is meant to look as if patrons are dining al fresco in Paris, maybe??? But it reminded me more of a church or school bake sale. Folding tables with colorful tablecloths are pushed up along one wall and on them set large, food service grade, clear plastic bins with the baked good inside. Above each bin is a laminated color copy of the corresponding pastry affixed to the wall. Utensils, paper bags and tongs are available for customers to self serve their selections. A separate cart has a couple of industrial coffee carafes and paper cups for beverage self service, alongside a free standing water cooler. I asked if the pastries are made there and was told no. They are made fresh each morning by the owner, Bruno, and brought in in the bins and arranged, usually, under the display pictures to easily see what is in that day. So, while not conventional, this method obviously works, and has for OVER A DECADE. Unconventional bakery esthetics and sales methods aside, the products are what customers are repeatedly here for. AUTHENTIC, French pastries made from European butter, making them lighter than an angel's wings and tastier than the devil should allow. My husband was going to patiently wait while I chose my purchases, but I persuaded him to indulge in the last remaining buttery croissant as I added it to my bag of pain au chocolate. I'm such an arm twister.... CAUTION! Digression ahead: Recently, I had been excited about a different croissant purchase at a sandwich shop in Sunland-Tujunga, only to bite into something that was more like Pilsbury canned dough than a real buttery French croissant. I guess that unpleasant experience made me long for pastry vindication and Bon Apetit came through for the win! But even before my first bite, I asked Bruno what type of chocolate he used in the pain au chocolate. 'Today Belgian. I get Belgian if I cannot get French, because they are practically the same,' he replied in his lovely French accent. And I melted. FINALLY! I was getting AUTHENTIC pain au chocolate! I'm telling you, when you have had the real thing, an imitation French pastry, made with anything less than quality European butter and chocolate just won't satisfy. We enjoyed our lovely, delicious pastries a bit later, while visiting Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite. Briefly, I tried letting the pain au chocolate sit in the warmth of the sun's rays atop my dashboard, wishing I had a way to heat the pain au chocolate enough to soften the chocolate, but I just couldn't wait. I was still very happy and satisfied with the flaky, light buttery taste of the pastry and the wonderful flavor and texture of the chocolate inside. I am adding Bon Apetit - Crepes, Croissants & More to my "Cali Road-tripping" bookmarks and look forward to bringing my French pastry loving bestie with me for my return visit. Cheers! CC

    It wasn't what I expected. I thought it was going to be more like a bakery but to my surprise it…read morewas not. So I thought, well let me check out the menu, and try out a crepe since I've never had one. And they were out of crepe batter so guess I still won't be trying one.

    We decided to stop into this cute little bakery because we were a few minutes early to our…read moredestination. I wasn't hungry, so my husband picked a few items that he thought he might like . Sourdough snickerdoodle cookie, breakfast muffin, and the nice gal threw in a lemon tart. The breakfast muffin was covered with crumble and oats which made my husband anticipate a brown sugar crumble topping like you would put on coffee cake . Except this crumble tasted like breadcrumbs with a few oatmeal pieces sprinkled in. The muffin itself was like a carrot cake with little bits of carrot and raisin visible with just the slightest hint of spice, otherwise, tasteless, although the presentation was very nice . The snickerdoodle cookie had a nice sour flavor but was dry and unappealing. The lemon tart had no lemon flavor. Maybe it was marked wrong? I've heard great reviews about their sourdough. We didn't try it. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be coming back .

    It has been a while since I've been in, and they have added more! Lovely display and local items…read morefor sale. Everything is baked fresh and while I was in the owner was taking out fresh cookies and waiting on bread to come out of the oven. It smells amazing walking in the door and you cant go wrong with anything on the menu. I love love love the jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread and their cinnamon rolls are to die for. I often pick up goodies here for my friend who has a gluten allergy, she can actually enjoy the treats she loves so much. The owners are so sweet and kind, you couldn't ask for better service or better treats. If you havent checked it out yet you should definitely give them a try. They are now on doordash! And save waste by being one of the only places in the county on too good to go!
