The Sweet Shoppe Cafe

Absolutely delish! Ordered the fried pickles and onion rings. Onion rings were thin, crispy and perfectly flavored. Pickles were lightly breaded with amazing flavor. Homemade ranch came with both items and it's the best ranch I've had in a long time! We will be back to try the other food options soon! Next time I'm ordering the bison burger! They look amazing.

Chocolate covered strawberries, and a strawberry roses turned out amazing she did an awesome job at all. Taste good I would recommend anybody to her she does amazing work.

I’ve only had a chance to eat here one time so far, but I have to say, the strawberry pecan salad was the best I’ve had anywhere. They were short staffed, which any business owner can vouch, it is so hard to find good help, but the owner was there working and went to the back to I assume help prep the food, they were pretty busy, with just two people working and she was kind and friendly the entire time. I think the bad reviews on here are bogus, like not real. There’s no way. Food is great, customer service was great, and it was a stressful time when I was in there, so to me that’s testimony to being able to perform under pressure with the best of them. I look forward to trying their Buffalo burger and some of the other unique menu items. Keep up the good work. California, MO needs you!!

Delicious dinner last night - buffalo burgers were moist and perfectly cooked, creamy coleslaw was refreshing and a generous portion. Now let me tell you about the onion rings - not your typical "rings" but the best I've ever had. I couldn't stop and added some to top the burger. On a previous visit I had the Strawberry Pecan salad and took Shawnna's advice on the dressing. It was perfect!

Stopped in last Friday for some lunch. Just happened to be in my Army uniform as I was on my way home and called in a to go order and as I arrived I was talking with Dr. Mike Lutz who then offered to buy my food and as he was going to pay the owner was running the cash register and told us she would pay for the food! Two great people! Two great business's!

Also the food from The Sweet Shoppe Cafe was great!

I don't have the words to describe how outstanding the food is . This place is by far a 10/10 it is by far they best food in California mo . I my self had 2 orders of the alligator bites which I highly recommend they are very tender with excellent flavor and I also had a order of the jalapeno poppers they are very cheesy and fried to a perfect crisp and the grilled cheese sandwich is delicious

I've been in a few times now and got the lotus drinks. Each time they have been delicious! These girls can make some tasty drinks. Definitely found my new favorite spot for tasty drinks.

Saw an ad on their fb for biscuits and gravy saw it after they had already switched over and they were kind enough to warm me some back up. Let me just say even warmed up their biscuits and gravy were great! I have found my new spot for some great food!

The Sweet Shoppe in California, MO has the best chicken Cesar salad (iceberg lettuce, shaved parm cheese, seasoned croutons)! Our kids like their hotdogs and pretzels with cheese. My husband had their “maid right” sandwich and said he really liked it (a food praise from my husband is something rare).

The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly.

I’m a very picky eater so a 5 star rating is hard to get from me; however, The Sweet Shoppe, gets 5 stars from me!

I’ve ate here twice, the food has been phenomenal both times. One of the best burger I’ve had in a long time. You might have to wait a little since it’s a small place but it’s worth it

Bison buger great perfect also had boba it was great. Everyone should try something .

Great prices, just too much salt on the food and ribbon fries are not round and ice cream is good

Service is awful, the atmosphere of the whole place is off. Both times I came in the boss, or at least I believe it was her, was yelling at the cook or her employees and pushing people around. I honestly feel bad for them. The food was awful and it was just an overall bad experience. Not even going to try to go back again, it's not worth it.
