Dulce Bakery and Cafe Sweetens the Vista in Columbia
Columbia is abuzz with excitement as a delightful new addition joins the vibrant lineup of businesses in the Vista neighborhood. Dulce Bakery and Cafe is all set to open its doors at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 17, at 1213 Lincoln St., promising to be a paradise for those with a sweet tooth!
A Sweet Beginning
For those who may not know, Dulce is taking over the location previously occupied by the beloved Cupcake DownSouth, which unfortunately closed its doors in 2022. The owners of Dulce, Iris Perea and Sharisa Boyle, aren’t new to the baking scene. They previously ran a popular spot known as Cake Collection Boutique in the Irmo area, and now they are rebranding and bringing their passion for baked goods to the heart of Columbia’s arts and retail district.
Tantalizing Treats Await
What can you expect from this new local gem? Brace yourselves for an array of scrumptious delights! Dulce Bakery and Cafe will serve up an impressive menu featuring cake slices, cupcakes, tres leches, fresh brownies, and not to forget, energizing coffee to accompany these delectable treats. And if you are looking for a hearty bite to start your day, Dulce will also offer breakfast sandwiches that promise to satisfy your morning cravings.
Looking ahead, the bakery has plans up its sleeve! During lunch hours, the shop will introduce soups and sammies to tempt the taste buds even further. At nighttime, the bakery aims to shift gears with a delightful dessert bar, adding an exciting twist to your evening outings.
Vibrant Neighborhood Vibes
The Vista has long been a lively district teeming with arts, nightlife, and retail experiences. With about 30,700 cars cruising through nearby Gervais Street each day, Dulce Bakery and Cafe couldn’t have picked a better location to capture the attention of local residents and visitors alike. The neighborhood is bursting with life, boasting popular spots like Poke Bros., Smoothie King, Cava, and The Blue Marlin, making it a prime destination for social gatherings and culinary exploration.
