LOCAL FOLKLORE
as told by guestsA little wall of kind words from patrons of the cafe, popup regulars, and cakelet fans.
ENTRY NO. 01
“The rice pudding is ACTUALLY insane, texture = perfect”
ENTRY NO. 02
“Literally the best pineapple upsidedown cake in Sonoma County! 🍍 Support these guys!”
ENTRY NO. 03
“Best tenders and biscuits!! Perfectly shredded and dressed slaw! Sauces on point!”
ENTRY NO. 04
“The best,best,best chicken I’ve had in a a very long time. I highly recommend that you order the cakes and try the different sauces. Everything on the menu is out of this world. I am definitely going to go back.”
ENTRY NO. 05
“If I had to describe the food in one word it would be “ADDICTIVE”. Holy crap, I’m so excited to find this little hidden gem. The breading on the tenders is spiced to perfection. These are NOT your average chicken tender. The most amazing crunch reveals the tender and moist chicken underneath. Their buffalo sauce is the perfect pairing; buttery, spicy, but not too spicy to where you can’t drown your tenders in them and enjoy it. Now let’s get to the biscuit de elote. I could easily eat a dozen of these heavenly little guys. Warm from the oven, rich with butter, sweet corn dances in background, begging to be drizzled and slathered in their complimentary honey and butter. My only complaint is they aren’t open everyday, but that just builds the excitement of finding them at their next pop up.”
ENTRY NO. 06
“Best chicken strips I've ever had and the honey mustard was sooo good. My husband said the biscuits reminded him of his mom's.”
ENTRY NO. 07
“Went to your pop up last night, and those tenders are literally the best I've ever had, and that rice pudding was amazinggggg”
