    Husband with iced cappuccino on the cute table outside of the shop
    Amber M.

    My husband and I stumbled upon this place during my birthday vacation and I am so happy we did. The shop is so cozy and cute, so many fun things to look at. Rudy the owner is such a kind gentleman you can tell he loves what he does. We got the famous cappuccino drink and I can't stop thinking about it, it was so delicious! I can't wait to visit again and try the truffles. If I lived in Nevada city I would be a regular.

    Found this gem!! If you love chocolate this is a must stop when in Nevada city. Truffles do have alcohol but they do have limited options without. The store alone is worth a visit, so cute and charming. It really was a special treat to pick a truffle after lunch.

    My sister in law ordered me a box of their famous truffles for my birthday this year. Something went wrong with the address and they never let her know so she had to reach out in regards to where my package was. They did express ship it so I had it two days later, but overall two weeks past my birthday. I would have expected it to be wrapped nicer, the box and wrapping paper felt very basic like they don't ship out much. I had a chance to sample 8 pralines and unfortunately most of them contained liquor which I just don't like. Flavor wise they were fine, fresh and indulgent. I'm sure you can order them as you like instead of a random mix, but I would not bother to order here again, a gift should be on time and packaged nicer.

    If you've never had a specialty truffle before, I'm sure this place would seem amazing. I'm glad that the previous reviewers very much enjoyed their treats. For me, it just wasn't great. I love chocolate. I love artisan desserts. I really, really love truffles. For $4 per truffle, I was sure we were in for a treat. Not so much. The chocolate used here wasn't specialty chocolate. The truffles are made with bland baker's chocolate and are filled with sugary mush and liquor. I was not impressed.

    There's something magical about wandering the old Gold Rush streets of Nevada City. Me and the boy…read morewere strolling through the historic downtown, poking our heads into little shops, when we stumbled across Treat. Talk about perfect timing. The sun was out, we'd done our fair share of walking, and an ice cream cone sounded like just what the doctor ordered. I grabbed a fresh waffle cone loaded with some kind of almond fudge mocha masterpiece don't ask me the official name because I was too busy enjoying it! The boy got something different, and judging by how fast it disappeared, I'd say he approved too. The waffle cone was fresh, the ice cream was rich and creamy, and every bite hit the spot. It's one of those little places that fits Nevada City perfectly simple, welcoming, and exactly what you hope to find while exploring an old mining town. If you're strolling through downtown on a warm afternoon, do yourself a favor and stop at Treat. Cool off, grab a cone, sit on a bench, and watch the world go by. First class all the way. After all... they didn't name it Treat for nothing. Go ahead treat yourself.

We ordered a house sausage pizza and to add the salami to the pizza which was a great choice loved the pizza we watched it get made right in front of us and their bacon and cheddar melt. I personally though the bacon and cheddar melt was fine I probably wouldn't order it again looking back on it just simply on the fact it was $21 and the pizza was $23 it just felt very boring and overpriced in comparison to the pizza. I do love the sustainability of this place but find it odd the water cups are plastic after all the effort put into reusable, sustainable, organic, and farm fresh It definitely eat here again especially with the fact the menu is always changing the pastries here were a hit every other table had something from the bakery or a pizza. This is a great spot to come on a date or with a bunch of friends. I haven't tried the brews here yet but I'm looking forward to it. The staff here are very sweet and food comes out quickly. Parking is right outside of Three forks and plentiful even on a Sunday afternoon.

I paid because I only had an hour for lunch and needed to eat. I got my mocha and sat down to wait for my sandwich. As I waited, I noticed several people who ordered after me receiving their food while I was still sitting there. About 15 minutes later, I finally received my to-go sandwich. When I opened the container, it was obvious it had been sitting there for a while. The sandwich was sweaty, and half of it was soggy. Apparently, they had forgotten to bring it to me. By that point, my mocha was already gone before I had even started eating. The BLT itself was made on regular-sized sandwich bread, and the tomatoes and bacon were good. But $34 for a basic BLT and a small iced mocha is outrageous, especially considering the wait and the condition of the sandwich when I finally received it. I will not be going back. The prices are simply far too high for what you get.

    The cutest little shop perfect for a light lunch!…read more They were open on Sunday for the Christmas market but had a limited menu so we ordered pork tamales and veggie tamales, which were so fresh and tasty! The pork was much heavier than the veggie so choose according to hunger. We also tried the rye oatmeal chocolate chip cookie (hearty and rustic) and a unique masa cookie with hibiscus glaze, which is one of the most interesting desserts I've eaten recently. The subtle earthiness of the masa was offset by the hibiscus tang and sugar glaze Logistics: - one table for 4 inside only, there might have been a back patio but unclear - limited street parking nearby - I think tamales and masa cookie were gluten free but double check

I adore here with all my heart as they offer delicious small batch handcrafted and seasonal desserts with fresh organic peaches from twin peaks for their peaches n cream brioche donut, for example, to their cakes, Mexican pastries such as a wide variety of conchas, cookies, savory buns, tacos, and much more! Everyone is very kind and knowledgeable about every item! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them and you may be impressed and amazed but their responses. Panadería Matilija also has a beautiful outdoor space to sit and enjoy! I recommend getting your pastries for here because every item comes on a beautiful unique dishware and glassware that I adore very much! So much love goes into this place and it really shows! I can't wait for my future visits!

The interior decor is well thought out and curated, while preserving history of the old, original building.

In all honesty, the hostess staff told us they could not guarantee a booth. However, when we arrived, we were told that all the booths were full, and we were seated in the main dining room. I walked into the bar to take a look at the booths and one was completely empty. Disappointing. The menu was creative and had something for everyone from meat eaters to vegetarians and vegans. Shout out to server Sierra, who was friendly and happy to make recommended and answered all of our questions with a smile. The setting is open and a little loud, but being in the National Hotel, the aesthetic flowed well with the hotel decor. The disappointing part of my party's experience was the fact that service took sooo long. We ordered an appetizer which came out with our main entrees. And drinks that we ordered before any of the food came out, came long after our meal had been served and only after we we asked what had happened to them. We were told that the bar was very busy and that's what delayed our drinks. However, with such a popular hotel, you think they would plan for this in advance. Overall, I would dine here again, but not during the busy dinner service. I would come during off hours only or be seated for dinner at 5 PM before the rush.
