Some shops you discover. Others were there first. Gold Coast Coffee & Bakery has been on Main Street in Duncans Mills since 1995 — organic, micro-roasted, everything made from scratch — and walking in still feels like being welcomed by something the town agreed to keep.
This candle is that morning.
Coffee opens — the exact scent of beans ground fresh, dark and alive. Caramel through the middle, luscious and warm, the pastry case at eye level. Vanilla underneath, a creamy finish, the kind of softness that makes a room feel settled.
It is the smell of a place that stayed. Of pastries made by hand. Of a town that still has a morning rhythm, and a shop that has been a part of it for thirty years.

Very nice quality product but too sweet
Very nice quality product but too much caramel and vanilla, and not enough coffee scent in my opinion. I am going to gift it, and I would not buy it again, as it is too sweet in my opinion.

Incredible scents!! Incredible shop and customer service!!!
The email I sent to the shop yesterday is pasted below:
Hello! I wanted to let you know that my shipment arrived yesterday and I am so delighted because these fragrances capture that feeling I had when I was at Bodega Bay and in West Sonoma. That feeling of freedom and the Sea and the mountains and the Redwoods is something you can't explain but you've captured it in fragrances!! You're an artist!
Fragrance transforms me more than any other sense.
I opened Marine layer first and I wasn't happy but gosh it's grown on me and I love it. I'm delighted that I got it because it captures certain moments of my trip.
Thank you so much and although Bodega Bay and Redwood kiss are my favorites - and I'll be ordering candles soon - I so enjoy exploring what you have. I wish I lived there and I could do a fragrance tasting, if you will.
I'm so thrilled that I peeked into your shop!!!! By the way my hostess is hooked on your fragrances too.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Ps Even the shipping Box smells delicious

Great Gifts - easy for travel.
I gave as gift to my friends. They love them. I have a larger one that fills the room with the most delightful scent. I will make sure I shop there again when I return to the Bodega Bay Area.
