Columbia Kate's Teahouse

The Best Restaurants and Bars Around Sonora, California | Eater SF

"Afternoon tea or a quick cuppa at Kate’s, an oasis of propriety amidst the old-timey rowdiness of Columbia, could be just the thing to restore your modern soul. Yes, there are tea sandwiches with the crusts removed and plenty loose-leaf teas, but the full lunch menu includes soup of the day, and salads (many with fruit), along with pasties, pot pie, and quiche. Proprietors Clare Bazley and Jessica and Jose Islas often set aside teatime with a prix fixe menu — look for the schedule posted in the window — while the fresh scones (some gluten-free), bakery goodies, tea, and coffee can be enjoyed anytime in the shaded garden." - Christina Mueller
