Once upon a time…
In the spring of 1902, J.L. Barham hired a father-son pair of German carpenters named Theo and Frank Paselk to build him a general store in the tiny lumber town of Manton, California. After many decades and several owners, earthquakes, wildfires and even a devastating volcanic eruption at nearby Mt. Lassen, the establishment has doggedly served the industrious citizens of this small but busy community. Today, the original structure has been completely rebuilt and reintroduced as the Sweetshoots Cafe, Market and Bar.
Cafe
Yes! Caramel Macchiatos, Mochas, Coffee, espresso, cappucinos, tea and many of your favorites are all prepared here.
General Store
Since 1902, the establishment has been the place to go in town for groceries, wellness items and household necessities.
The Beer Garden
5000 square feet of green grass, bamboo, and sculpture. Come for the live music, four seasons of weather, or just chill under the cedar trees…
Bar
Explore our Beer on Tap as well as many unique tastes such as Ciders, Kombuchas and Cold Brew coffees.
The spirit of “dulcis”
Sweetshoots Cafe, General Store and Bar is the result of Gerard Minakawa’s passion for community engagement through design, history, food, entertainment and, of course, Bamboo! Sweetshoots is simply the common name for a temperate bamboo species, Phyllostachys dulcis (“dulcis” signifying sweet, or charming in Latin.)
We hope to satisfy your desire for both sweet fares & a charming atmosphere. See you soon!
