Highway 49--Gold Rush Country
Columbia Kate’s Teahouse, Bakery, and Boutique
Columbia Kate’s has taken over feeding the town with a teahouse and bakery, and as if that isn’t enough--a sweet boutique is also part of the empire.
22727 Columbia St., (209) 532-1885. Daily 11-4.
This sweet little teahouse operates within a historic 1880s barn just a block over from Main Street. Diners at Columbia Kate's Teahouse are seated at tables named after real mining claims from Columbia's heyday. Choose from classic tea set-ups, or opt for just a scone or a few tea sandwiches. Regular lunch items are also available—salads, sandwiches, quiche, pot pies, and soups. Everything is baked fresh daily across the street in the bakery. Apricot scones (my favorite!) and praline-pecan-pear pie are particular popular, but don’t miss the breads, bread pudding, and other desserts.

Columbia Kate’s Bakery
11256 State St., (209) 532-2177. Daily 7am-4pm.
Famous around town for their cinnamon rolls, Columbia Kate's Bakery is clear that anything you select here will be delicious. Do try the unusual "Runsas"—a popular pocket sandwich made with a yeast-bread bun and stuffed with egg, bacon, and cheese (the breakfast) or ground beef, cabbage, and Swiss cheese (the lunch). And don’t miss the cookies and cupcakes.
