Exciting New Bakery Dulce Opens in Columbia’s Vista District

Exciting New Treats Arrive in Columbia

Columbia, SC, is buzzing with excitement as a beloved bakery makes its move to the popular Vista district! Yesterday, Dulce Bakery and Café celebrated its grand opening with a lively ribbon-cutting ceremony at its new location at 1213 Lincoln St.. This cheerful gathering was organized by the Congaree Vista Guild, a non-profit organization aimed at promoting business in the area.

A Sweet New Start

What’s the scoop? Formerly known as Cake Collection Boutique in Irmo, owners Iris Perea and Sharisa Boyle have rebranded to bring us a delightful array of treats in a vibrant new space that used to be home to Cupcake Down South. With this transition, the talented duo is bringing a fresh twist to the dessert scene in Columbia!

A Tasty Menu Awaits

At Dulce Bakery and Café, you can expect an enticing menu of sweet delights including mouthwatering cupcakes, luscious cake slices, traditional tres leches, and fudgy brownies. But that’s not all! The café will also serve up savory breakfast sandwiches to kick-start your morning, along with freshly brewed coffee to wash it all down. Sounds tempting, right?

But wait, there’s more! As part of their vision, Dulce plans to expand their offerings by introducing lunch hours featuring delicious soups and sandwiches. Later in the day, guests can look forward to indulging at a dessert bar, perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth in the evening.

A Supportive Community

The ribbon-cutting event was more than just a chance to enjoy some cake—it highlighted the incredible support that local businesses receive from the community. The Congaree Vista Guild, with its dedicated board of 14 members, works tirelessly to represent a variety of local business sectors, and it’s events like this that showcase their commitment to the growth of Columbia’s business landscape.

Looking Ahead

With their grand opening now behind them, owners Iris and Sharisa are eager to settle into their new space and share their passion for baking with the Columbia community. They aim to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where people can gather to enjoy delicious food, whether it’s for a quick breakfast bite or a delightful afternoon treat.

The move to downtown Columbia is a significant leap for the duo, and they hope their new café will become a hotspot for both locals and visitors alike. “We are excited to be part of such a vibrant community,” said Iris during the opening ceremony. “We can’t wait to serve everyone and create a place where memories can be made over good food.”
