“Our wedding was in Sonora, CA on 9/9/23. Anyone who was in the area that weekend should vividly remember the very powerful thunderstorm, which was not in the forecast, even the morning of. One of the 1,000+ lightning strikes knocked out all power in the county from before 5pm until 5am the next morning. How in the world did Skye and her staff pull off the service they provided for our 175 guests? There were no tents and the food service was set up outside. There were no lights outside because the generators were being used for DJ and bathrooms. The only lights inside were battery operated uplights rented from the DJ for ambiance or battery operated taper candles in the candelabra on the tables. Our guests were fed absolutely incredible, delicious food and served wine throughout the night. She pulled off a miracle. Additionally, we used her in-house baker for our cake. First of all, it was delicious. But then in a crazy coincidence, in order to match the invitations and website, we made the strange request for a kintsugi pattern on in the icing. The baker knocked it out of the park! Hilariously, most of the guests mistook the kintsugi to be lightning which matched the skies that night! We also had Skye and her team cater our rehearsal dinner with an incredible paella layout with a carrot cake dessert. It was so delicious! If you get married or want to cater a party anywhere in the vicinity of Lila & Sage's Murphy's, CA kitchen, don't even bother to look for any other caterer. I wish I had good photos of all the food but it was SO dark in the hall. Our guests were just blown away.“
“I thought I was going to be hauled out of Big Trees for wearing a mask but Todd's Bread was worth standing in line with the benighted customers and pot bellied, maskless greybeard at the cash register who wet sneezed onto his hand and then plastered the palm of said hand on the counter. He did use hand sanitizer when I asked him before touching my Todd's Bread -- and I'm so glad because that bread was amazing and I will seek out Todd's bread from now until the end of time. Purchased the bread around 4 on a Saturday, so it was probably 8-10 hours old. The crust was still crispy with enough chew by the time I got home -- the interior was spongey-firm and glossy, the flavor was perfectly sour and they clearly have an amazing sponge at that place. FIND THIS BREAD!! it is manna.“
“An amazing find in Murphy's. We tried several items over two days. Great breakfast spot with super friendly staff. They are so kind. And the food was exceptional. Breakfast sandwich and a croissant. And the muffins were crazy good. It is fully worth a stop through town to get some pastries for your day in the mountains.“
“What an amazing cup of coffee and bagel! My girlfriend had a lemon poppy pastry that was also amazing. Place is small but very nice, and the staff were great. A lot of pride seen in this establishment. Definitely the coffee stop for your morning exploration of Angels Camp!“
“This restaurant is amazing. The sandwich bread and scones were so fresh. Each member of our group ordered something different, and everything looked amazing and home made-especially the chicken pot pies, salads, variety of sandwiches and teas. We were a party of eleven and they were able to accommodate us sufficiently at a long table outdoors. I really appreciated the service and attentiveness. I know it is difficult to serve large parties, but they achieved this masterfully.“
“Ultimately the best apple fritter, donuts and pies aroundBest fresh right out of the ovenI can’t decide what I like better the soft sugar coated donuts or the crisp apple fritters.I do like the crumb pie over the regular.You cannot go wrong stopping here …food is delicious and worth the stop“
