We had just had breakfast not too long ago or we would've tried there food which looked delicious. My husband ordered a Bulletproof Americano and I ordered an iced black and white.

When looking for an afternoon coffee I try to avoid the big chain coffee places like Starbucks,…read moreDutch Bros, etc and head for more locally based independent coffee shops. That isn't often easy as many close in the early afternoon, usually not open after 3pm. I was delighted to find Caroline's open to 5:30. YES! It's a delightful and charming shop off the beaten trail of touristy places in downtown Grass Valley. The array of coffee products was very satisfying and they highlighted a special Pistachio Latte! Sounded good so we got it, a 16oz for the afternoon 'pick-me-up'. A bit on the sweet side it nonetheless hit the spot for a coffee. They have a wide array of tea options too. The service was friendly and very good. The coffee came to the red pickup counter in good time. There are lots of cozy cafe type seating both inside and out. The choice of muffins, baked goods, or other snacks were slim just because it was late, but undoubtedly good too. If in Grass Valley, try it.

The coffee here is definitely 5 stars! During our stay in Grass Valley we visited Carolines on…read morethree occasions. We tried several beverages, finding their Brown Sugar Oat Latte special to be our favorite. The drink selections are good and the quality of their coffee is spot on. Their employees.....now that is a different story. In all three of our visits, we experienced young ladies who were not at all welcoming, were impatient with our couple of questions, and none of them seemed to want to be there. During our last visit we had one of the employees yell across the shop at us that we had picked up the wrong drinks. They had called our name and there were only two drinks to pick up, so we took them. There weren't any names on the cups, and they were the right color for what we ordered, so there was no way for us to know otherwise. Thankfully, we hadn't had any yet, so there wasn't any contamination (although, technically, they probably should have remade them for the correct customer). That experience was so off-putting that we didn't go back during the rest of our stay.

The latte was pretty bad. Burnt coffee flavor. One avocado toast had a giant hair. The other order has pieces of an uncooked egg - like they realized they didn't cook the egg long enough so only put on what they thought might looked cooked enough. The white of the egg was not cookedAt $10 a piece they were not it. Would not come back.

Great place in Nevada City !! Visited today...july 24th...see receipt…read more Located on Argall way in Nevada City ( next to Jernigans) is this cool little coffee place with indoor seating. When you walk in it smells so good and the music is cool with a great vibe! I got there right when they opened (730 am) and got a cup of strong coffee. It was strong and tasty! They have a limited menu of food items but i heard the 6 minute egg on toast is screaming! RICO the barista is friendly and knowledgeable and knows his stuff! You can get fresh coffee beans on the spot! There is inside seating so you can relax inside or just take it to go. A must visit when you are in the area! Plenty of parking and inside decor is welcoming. Good job!

They had some assorted pasties and rolls along with some fresh sourdough bread rounds. They also have coffee. I decided to get something savory to go...linguisa wrapped in what looked like a croissant. It was so good...just enough for the ride! Its somewhat small inside but looked very clean! Next time I will get a coffee and maybe a cinnamon roll to go!

Our second visit here & the four of us enjoyed our breakfast…read more Busy place on a Sunday morning and about a 20 minute wait. Started with a Cappuccino & a Mocoa,both were hot, delicious and not overly sweet. I had the full order of Lobster Eggs Benedict. Eggs cooked as ordered, generous amount of lobster, Jalapeno holidase, avocado ,crunchy well seasoned country potatoes, filling rich and satisfying, dusted off the whole thing. Mrs D had the Corn Cakes, substituted chicken sausage for the hot links with eggs over easy. The Corn Cakes were similar to potato Pan cakes, slightly garlicy with a spicy aioli sauce. Well executed and she loved it. Even though they were at full capacity the service was top notch and all the employees we encountered were smiling and helpful.

Driving through the area and I heard great reviews about this local place…read more Menu looked amazing, food misleading on some things and a huge disappointment. Local lager was awesome. Lobster sandwich was not great with melted cheese to hide the fact. My $35 bill was not worth a local lager, side salad and half a sandwich I ate.
