What a sweet place! Colfax is a quaint historic gold rush town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas. The Wrecking Crew Bakery is the perfect place to stop for a delicious cup of coffee and a yummy treat! We ordered a coffee and an oat milk decaf latte and they were both delicious. My husband ordered a ham and bacon croissant and I ordered the dark chocolate raspberry scone. Both were made to perfection! The historic building is super cool too! Brick walls, tall ceilings, and such. They have board games and toddler toys, books and sidewalk chalk for customers' delight. What a wonderful stop! Thank you, Wrecking Crew! read more

Terrible service. The food I got was a breakfast bagel and a plain croissant. My croissant was so hard I could barely bite into it and the egg in the bagel sandwich was not cooked Funny how every slightly negative review is considered "fake" while only positive reviews are seen as real by this business owner. read more

I ordered 18 cupcakes from The Wrecking Crew Bakery and they were so good. Britany the baker made vanilla, chocolate, carrot cake and red velvet. The cream cheese frosting and buttercream were delicious. The pricing is very fair and she had the order ready for pick-up at the designated time. I would definitely go back and order from them again. They also make a really good latte. read more

I've tried multiple pastries, cookies and I just ordered a cake from them. You really can't go wrong here, everything is exceptionally good from the coffee to the food. My current fav is the cherry cookies mmmmm. It a very cute shop, comfortable places to sit and catch up or eat outside on a beautiful day. It's family owner, you can tell, everyone is very welcoming. They are an amazing addition to Downtown Colfax. They do a lot to support the community, love this place. read more

Beautiful coffee & breakfast spot in historic Colfax. Full menu of coffees and smoothies, sweets and pastries, and Bagel Bombs (a local invention). Very comfortable seating and couch. Owned by a very nice family. I stood in every time I drive through Colfax. read more

Wide variety of menu choices, friendly staff, and great atmosphere. An excellent alternative to your usual fast food choices.

Update: I've come here a few times and usually have a great experience--everyone is kind, and my go-to favorites are the Danish and the smoothie! The Danish is always buttery and flaky, and I really enjoyed the bagel bomb as well. However, on April 17th, I ordered the biscuits and gravy and was pretty disappointed. The biscuits were mushy and fell apart easily, and for the price, it didn't feel like a great value. I'm not sure if it was an off day, but I did notice that only the younger staff seemed to be working that morning, so perhaps things just needed a bit more supervision in the kitchen. That said, I know the main lady here is genuinely skilled at baking her items usually turn out great. Overall there's clearly care put into the menu. Also, I'm sorry to hear about people being encouraged to leave false reviews that's unfortunate. I just want to be clear that I write a lot of reviews and try to be as honest and fair as possible, based only on my own experience. I do hope to see more consistency in the future, because I've really enjoyed many of the things I've had here and want to keep coming back. read more

Here are the pictures I took last week and forgot to post... Such a nice quiet environment to relax, read, and enjoy the delicious food, pastries, coffee and teas. The staff and owner are really wonderful. God bless you all. read more

They are the nicest people & the goodies are delicious. I love their bagel bombs the most.

The food was just awful. The plate did have three huge grapes on it that were the best thing in this restaurant. The grapes were so sweet and crisp. If the food had been decent, I would go back just for the grapes. If you're ever in the Colfax area, drive right by this place. You'll be glad you did! read more

Poor service -ordered 2 hot coffees both were so cold with a long wait, and the ham croissant was so so ! Used to be a good place to stop for coffee and pick up food. Wish for improvements. read more

The bagel bombs are great. People are friendly. One thing I find irritating that seems to be trendy is they have no prices listed anywhere. Even the receipts don't show the prices! read more

This bakery was featured that morning on a local channel. Didn't have anything lined up that Saturday morning so hubby and I decided to do the drive. So happy we did. Love, love, love that it's a family-run business. And I do mean family. There were two toddlers very visibly present and absolutely charmed me and Hubby. I had a really good spinach/cheese croissant which I brought home as I had half of Hubby's bacon/egg bagel. I got to meet the very young-looking grandma who does all the baking of the enticing cookies, bread and pastries. I wish only the best for this bakery! This is America small-town business at it's best!!! read more

Stopped in yesterday 8/19/25 and ordered a cinnamon roll and a muffin, the cinnamon roll was delicious and would definitely buy it again! Haven't tried the muffin yet, but I'm sure it won't disappoint! Very friendly crew! Thanks again read more

Really enjoy going to the Wrecking Crew Bakery & Cafe. The atmosphere of their new location is lovely. Kind of a mix between traditional, modern, historic and casual. Lots of comfortable seating with a beautiful bar showing off all their delectable treats. The employees are helpful and friendly. Their bakery has many great goodies to choose from. My favorites are their cookies and scones. We visited this week and the Christmas decorations are warm and festive. Wonderful small town cafe! read more

Found this gem on the main drag in this small town. In fact it was basically the only place open in this stretch of buildings on a Friday morning. Wow what a selection they had in here everything looked so good! We got some coffee and a few scones and a bunch of stuffed bagels! Wow they are wonderful we took them home and enjoyed them for the next few days. They are definitely a full meal and stuffed to the max. The ladies were so nice and welcoming. I loved all the recipe cards that were framed on the wall, which I was told were their grandmas and great grandmas recipes. If you're in town or even just driving past this place is worth the stop! Through the small hallway on the right takes you back to another place as well if you're looking for a smoothie or sandwich. What a great find in old Colfax. read more

Very cozy environment the lady who owned the place was very, very nice. I got a muffin with a chocolate croissant. They were both very delicious. I'm going down there today again to enjoy the atmosphere with a lovely friend of mine. Can't wait. read more

The lady that made our coffee was wiping her nose with her hand and using it to make the coffee. The place was also dirty and unhygienic.

Service excellent and oh the pastries. Colfax's little gem. Pleasant atmosphere. Walk right in and you feel right at home.

We were looking for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and noticed a new ( to us) bakery. Parking is convenient, either in front or in the parking lot across the street. Upon walking in it was unclear if this was a sit down place or counter order. After a few moments of confusion we saw the order taking area. We remember the place as a bar/ saloon so that ambience remains. We had a Turkey sandwich. It was big enough to split and the bread was excellent. The whole sandwich was good also! Delivery to the table was pretty quick. Overall a good lunch place and we will return. read more

I'm New in the town and wanted to find a local coffee shop to enjoy fresh bakery good and coffee. The bakery here has delicious scones that pack flavors I tried the triple berry scone loved the rich flavors of berries and it wasn't hard or dry but soft and chewy the way I love them. Also I been having the salads turkey and bacon with blue cheese dressing I order them often nines of mixed greens once again prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place I'm a returning customer mostly daily. Well done ladies!. read more

A wonderful family business that provides great baked goods. Their bagel bombs are amazing, scones are delicious and have never been disappointed in anything purchased. They also take orders for cakes and pies, which I have utilised for special occasions. They also have lunch items and my favorite is their BLT, loaded with bacon! Their new location provides a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere to sit, relax and enjoy. read more

Always the place to stop and know your kids will have a great time! Not only has our son called out for the owner Caroline and she instantly looks at him while he's playing pool, but the staff really care about their customers. Many delicious options from so many choices of bagel bombs like jalapeno bacon cheddar, cream cheese jalapeno bacon, egg and cheddar bacon, etc. to scones, eclairs, gluten free peach cobler, sourdough bread sandwiches etc! Worth coming in for the food and knowing your family can easily make friends too. read more

Best Veggie Sandwich I had in a while!!! They a delicious cream cheese and veggie sandwich that was crisp and delicious on an everything bagel. It was an excellent way to start my journey home but also made it hard to leave. I got greeted when I entered and the service was so personalized. A regular customer was behind me in line and the lady new him by name and order. The cafe was very cute and inviting. Bonus points for tiniest chihuahua curled up on the couch and toddler making his rounds. read more

Delectable baked delights! My husband and I popped in here spontaneously on Labor Day. This bakery is a family-run gem. We bought a chocolate chip cookie and a raspberry chocolate chip scone-wow! The scones are the size of your hand. The selection of cookies and pastries was phenomenal. There was even a vegan option or two. You will find a tasty treat. Thankful that we only live 30 minutes away and can pop over to try more items. FYI. It's in a beautiful historic building, so there is either no ac or it didn't work on Labor Day. Either way, I can't say enough that if you're heading to/from Tahoe, you must check this place out. Once we hit cool fall weather this is going to be my go-to bakery :) read more

Great, friendly service! Excellent coffee! Fantastic scones! Tasty bacon biscuits! We had the peach, raspberry chocolate, and seasonal pumpkin scones as well as a bacon cheese biscuit. All were outstanding! The decaf latte was smooth without a hint of bitterness. It is often difficult to find a decent decaf coffee. read more

The wrecking Crew bakery and Cafe lived up to its name....... They wrecked our lunch! My boyfriend just said the other day that a grilled cheese sandwich is probably a good choice at any restaurant because how can you wreck that? Well they did. It was so bland and tasteless with cheddar cheese that was stringy. My turkey bacon avocado sandwich had a lot of turkey on it and 2 mm slices of avocado. It was served on a plate with one packet of mayonnaise and one packet of mustard along with three huge grapes. The sourdough bread crumbled every time I picked up my sandwich. The beverage selection was very poor. There was regular orange Fanta, regular Cherry Pepsi and regular Sprite. That was it. They did have tea drinks that were pretty lackluster. Tasted more like lightly flavored water. When we go to a sit-down restaurant we expect that they will put the mayonnaise on the bread. This isn't a Denny's nor a road stop stand. How this place has 4.8 Stars I'll never know. Unlike other reviews we had decent service and everyone was somewhat friendly. Originally we had entertained the thought of getting a baked good but based on our lunch we passed that up. When we walked in, it was not at all busy. A couple people came in but it's easy to see now why it wasn't very busy. read more

I was so excited to see the signs for The Wrecking Crew and even more excited when my schedule aligned, so I could go when they were open. Big thanks to the previous reviewer who suggested bagel bites! This cute, small coffee shop and bakery along the train tracks in downtown Colfax is worth the drive even if you aren't local to this town. I bought a box of 2 of most types of the bagel bites plus some sweet scones (peach and lemon/blueberry--yum!) in order to have breakfast covered over Thanksgiving morning, too. I just ate the most amazing, stuffed, flavorful jalapeño (oh, the burn!) cream cheese bacon bagel bite. My first bite was doughy, but then the cavern of ingredients opened up. I was surprised at how stuffed it was. Most bakeries will give you a small smattering with the essence of flavor. This was mouth watering and tear inducing. Definitely swing by and grab some bagel bites ASAP! read more

It's ok but definitely not the high ratings. I see here! They make a basic sandwich, you have to put the condiments on yourself. The role tasted day old and huge, there was plenty of meat, but nothing special about it. I can make a sandwich like this at home... roll, a pack of mayo, some lunch meat, and a few pieces of avocado. We got one of the pastries was supposed to be heated up. They put it in the microwave. Totally ruined it! read more

I can't say enough good things about this amazing place. Colfax was truly blessed when The Wrecking Crew opened its door. Not only is all the food and treats top tier amazing (and they're always coming up with new creations weekly) but the staff are all wonderful people and are very inviting and accommodating. My only complaint is they're closed on Sundays. Be sure to check them out. You won't be disappointed and you WILL come back for more. read more

The wrecking crew is the BEST breakfast place in town hands down! It has so many different options to choose from and let me say they are ALL amazingly delicious! Not to mention all the employees are so friendly and make you feel welcomed as soon as you enter the door. read more

The perfect stop for coffee and breakfast during our road trip. The "bombs" were delicious (we had the egg, sausage, and cheddar); there were multiple kinds to choose from (bacon, jalapeño, etc.). All the baked goods looked yummy! The Main Street area was cute, and we enjoyed our coffee sitting outside in the sunshine. read more

Delicious bakery with a variety of unique options. Definitely worth the stop! Great service and ambiance.

The food (jalapeño bacon cheese pastry) and coffee to go was fantastic.. really tasty and great price, But on the downside I felt unwelcome...The server ignored me talking to the locals over me and when I asked for half and half, she said we don't have that and pushed the coffee over to me. read more

I recently returned to Colfax after a 25+year absence. My mother used to work at the HS and my dad was a placer county sheriffs deputy. The town has changed quite a bit, and this place fits in nicely with that. Great drinks and really good pastries. I was a little surprised to see how young the staff was. But, I mean, come on: This is how mountain towns work. I thought it was great. read more

Alright, a bakery that makes sandwiches. Had a little extra time to drive into the actual town of Colfax and besides, how long can it take to make a sandwich? Stay tuned. Lunchtime. Nice little shop in an older building, well decorated featuring the baked goods in several places. We were the only customers. The sandwich board had about 5 or 6 choices, and we settled on the Philly and the BLT. Had a hot tea which the cashier insisted on making herself after we selected the tea bag. Ok... The young lady took our order and we sat. And we waited. After 30 minutes we inquired about the food. It seems that the order never made it the six feet from the register to the kitchen. And the Philly would take another 25 minutes. My wife walked around town and then after an hour we still had no food. Decided to cancel which was OK with them but the sandwiches were ready, and after another short wait they came out. In the meantime 2 other couples had ordered food the very young staff was frazzled. My wife said the BLT was exceptional. My Philly could have been average (meat & cheese) but the herb bread was fantastic and the grapes and spinach on the side put it over the top. Despite the long wait my wife wanted to grab a loaf of the bread from the stack beside the counter but it was not to be, as they had a big sandwich order tomorrow and were saving it for that purpose. Sigh. Overall, someone (an adult?) needs to manage this place, I don't know if the back of the house had any idea how bad things were going out front. Had they even managed to give us a cookie I might not have written this but 4 stars for the food and 0 for the service. Next time Auburn read more
