Columbia Welcomes Dulce Bakery and Café in the Vista District

Columbia is buzzing with excitement this week as culinary lovers and sweet treat enthusiasts unite to celebrate the grand opening of the newly rebranded Dulce Bakery and Café. This charming bakery officially opened its doors at 1213 Lincoln St., in the vibrant Vista district, after a delightful ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Congaree Vista Guild.

A Sweet Transition

Previously known as Cake Collection Boutique and located in Irmo, the owners, Iris Perea and Sharisa Boyle, have taken a leap of faith to bring their passion for baking to a new audience in downtown Columbia. “We’re thrilled to be here and can’t wait to share our creations with the community,” said Iris, radiating enthusiasm at the event.

The new location takes over the charming space that was formerly home to Cupcake Down South, which adds a sweet nostalgic touch to this vibrant area. The move not only marks a fresh start but also a chance for Dulce Bakery to grow and diversify their offerings.

A Treat for Every Taste Bud

At Dulce Bakery, visitors will find a wonderful variety of delectable treats to satisfy any sweet tooth. From fluffy cupcakes and mouthwatering cake slices to rich tres leches and decadent brownies, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And for those early risers, they’ll also whip up savory breakfast sandwiches and serve up freshly brewed coffee, perfect for a morning pick-me-up.

As if that weren’t enough, there are exciting plans on the horizon! The owners mentioned that they intend to expand their menu to include soups and sandwiches for lunch, as well as a delightful dessert bar for evening visitors. “Our goal is to create a community space where people can gather, relax, and indulge in delicious food,” shared Sharisa.

Building Community Together

The grand opening celebration wasn’t just a chance to sample treats; it was also about gathering support for local businesses. The Congaree Vista Guild, a non-profit organization made up of a diverse board of directors from various sectors, played an integral role in welcoming Dulce Bakery to the neighborhood. Their commitment to fostering local businesses shines through events like this, bringing the community together.

With Columbia’s downtown area continually evolving and expanding, businesses like Dulce Bakery are at the heart of revitalization efforts. The Vista district, known for its artistic flair and bustling atmosphere, is the perfect stage for Dulce Bakery’s enchanting desserts and welcoming ambiance.

As locals and visitors alike drop by Dulce Bakery to sample the goodies, many have already expressed excitement about the prospect of a cozy café atmosphere where they can unwind with friends over lunch or indulge their sweet cravings in the evening. “It’s about building relationships with our customers,” Iris emphasized, “We want people to feel at home here.”
