You know those cafes where simply by stopping in--for a few hours or just to grab a coffee and muffin--your day is going to be a little better? That's Corvus! It's a whole vibe. That easy, perfect in every way, and we weren't even trying thing that only Californians can pull off! And, oh boy! The coffee cake is hands down the best gluten-free baked good I've ever had!! It was so fluffy and spongy, and creamy and cinnamony, and just-right sweet. I honestly don't think anyone would know it's gluten free. They have quiche, hand pies, bread pudding, and all sorts of items I never see in gf shops. The baristas are friendly and engaged, and the owner was happy to chat with me about her baking secrets. I ordered for take out, and instantly changed my mind. It's the kind of place I like to be. It's a gem! I hope any expansion plans start with Denver

What a cute little coffee cafe on Mills Street in beautiful Grass Valley, Ca. On the weekends park at Wells Fargo AFTER they close for the day. Maple latte was killer and so was their carrot cake muffin with cream cheese frosting. The cake was very nutty, raisins, carrots and coconut.

I stopped by Corvus Bakery and was so glad I did! The donuts were incredible -- soft, flavorful, and clearly made fresh that morning. I also tried one of their vegetable pies, which was surprisingly delicious and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted homemade in the best way. The staff was friendly, patient, and welcoming, which made the whole visit feel extra nice. You can tell they really care about their customers and their craft. This is the kind of local spot that makes you want to come back every weekend.

This was my first visit to Corvus Bakery and I will definitely give it another try. The big plus is that they are, in fact, an entirely gluten-free bakery, which is rare. The staff was very friendly and doing their best to keep up on a busy Sunday afternoon. They seemed low on pastry and I heard them say they were also low on some supplies, although I was not affected. I ordered (to takeaway) a blueberry muffin and a chocolate raspberry cupcake to sample pastry styles. The cupcake was a disappointment, with tasty chocolate frosting and raspberry filling, but cake that was fairly flavorless and a bit dry. The muffin, happily, was just the opposite, moist, full of blueberries and not overly sweet. I will be back!

Great little coffee& bakery! Passed by the little gem while discovering the area and stumbled into this shop. The all gluten free sign made us walk in and try their treats. We did not try the coffees but did try the Maple donut that's was just fantastic and cinnamon roll, banana muffin and carrot muffins. Everything was great and we loved the cozy look and feel of the place. We shall return to try more delicious gluten free treats!

Yummy cookies!! [Grass Valley CA] I'm hitting this place up the next time I'm back in the Gold Country. I'm a sucker for bakeries and when I saw this shop located across the Del Oro Theatre I immediately checked it out. Cute interior with indoor and outdoor available seating. I walked in around 3:00p, 1.5 hrs before they closed at 4:30p. Selection was sparse especially on their cakes. I really wanted to try their carrot cake and the cinnamon roll. So I went over to the cookies and pastry side of the counter. I chose two cookies, Chocolate Crinkle and Peanut Butter. I ate the chocolate cookie first... it was soft and warm and heavenly. I'm in love with this cookie. Their baked goods are 100% gluten free! They offer daily selection of baked goods, drink menu and lunch options. Service is friendly. Review #3193

A wonderful, cozy experience with cute paintings and delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls and frittatas. Employees are very friendly and helpful.

Love coming here for the delicious gf choices and yummy drinks. I'm surprised how many good reviews the service has gotten. I frequent here and have found the staff to be inattentive, grumpy, and occasionally downright rude (especially one barista in particular). A simple smile and "I'll be right with you" when they are making a drink and you are standing at the counter would go a long way. This has happened multiple times for me- just standing there for several minutes, not being acknowledged, and then when (especially one barista) does get around to taking your order, they almost seem annoyed by it. My husband and I have had similar experiences like this on separate occasions. Could be a 5 star little cafe- love the food and location- such a fun stop for me to get a treat- but it's been a theme for me to have poor experiences with service. read more

We recently tried Corvus and it was funny because when I was inside ordering and saw the name of the biz, said to the employee: "OH! I spotted you on Yelp before we even came up here... and coincidentally, here we are" It's a very cute coffee/bakery spot. It's decorated in a way that I enjoy the aesthetic and the food was very well made and thoughtfully created. These details were very obvious. It's also easily located in one of the more hotspot downtown streets, which they happened to have a weekend curbside walk about event for all the vendors on the day we were there. For us, our coffee and my matcha latte were not as sweet as we like. This is not a knock on the business, it's just.... a preference thing. If you like that strong flavor with wholesome quality, it's definitely worth a visit. I also ordered one of the carrot cupcakes which was VERY moist. Delicious in theory, now why do I say that? We're not like most vegans. We're not super fans of raisins unless they're dark chocolate snack style. We both don't like the flavors or nutty version of walnuts and I don't like coconut shavings soooooo, this cupcake and I were on different levels BUT..... my wife was like, "mention in your review that the buttercream was amazing!" Lol, yes that buttercream was great. The cupcake was great, I just don't like a bunch of the ingredients, unfortunately. I didn't take pictures because we were indulging in the moment of this goodness, but if you're in the area, this is definitely worth a stop! read more

Fantastic bakery! What a find in Grass Valley when we were staying nearby for the weekend! We got a bunch of items- mocha cookies, cinnamon roll, brownie etc. My fav was the cinnamon roll- one of the best I've had. Their coffee drinks were great too! Really impressed by the flavor and quality of the baking. My husband has a dairy and gluten (and oat) allergy and he was able to have several items (huge!). We have a lot of experience trying different allergen friendly treats and these are top notch!! They aren't just "good for gf" they are just plain good!! read more

Our second visit to this gem of a bakery! I'm always excited when everything is gluten free and this cafe does not disappoint! Today we arrived late and missed out on some of the delicious-sounding options (and their signature chai, which is outstanding), but we were very happy with our frittata and baked goods! The carrot cake was to die for as was the Persian love cake. The texture of both cakes was rich and smooth, not missing the gluten at all. The spices, nuts, and other ingredients were flavorful and well-balanced. One of the highlights of our experience odowntown Grass Valley! read more

The best bakery for sweet treats in the Grass Valley area whether or not you're gluten free. I haven't tried anything from Corvus that I haven't loved and I ask my family to get me Corvus pastries for every special occasion. While at times I wish there were more dairy free/plant based options I'm not mad because this is a gluten free bakery first and foremost, and they do usually have multiple options for dairy free people. I recently tried a gluten free bakery in the bay... could not match Corvus in variety or taste. read more

I stumbled on Cafe Corvus with my wife during the holidays as we looked for some breakfast and coffee. We were immediately enticed by their daily menu of Veggie Frittata, spiced apple muffins, and ginger cookies. This small elegant spot is the best cafe experience bar none and the best Gluten Free cafe anywhere. The walls are decked out with beautiful paintings and perfect lighting for a relaxing and delicious morning of art, smiles, and amazing food. Corvus is run by a kind couple who translate their classical culinary background into the most mouthwatering muffins, quiches, cookies, and daily specialties. Along with the most perfect cup of coffee in Grass Valley, this place simply can't be beat. If you love amazing food, cool ambiance and an upbeat environment for your mornings, look no further.

We visited Grass Valley in September, and we needed to find a coffee spot in town. I checked out Corvus the first morning, and went back the next 2 days as well. I went for the coffee, but stayed for the amazing baked goods! There wasn't a single thing I tried that wasn't delicious...the blueberry muffins were the best I've ever had...not greasy or heavy at all, but light and flavorful. I also tried the maple mini donuts, an orange/almond cake, a strawberry scone and cinnamon rolls (blew my diet).

Both sides were excellent--the crust had just the right balance of crisp and chew, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully put together. The real surprise, though, was the Caprese salad with peaches. It was so unbelievably good that we completely forgot to take a picture before it disappeared. Honestly, it's one of the best salads I've ever had. The peaches added just the right amount of sweetness, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. By the time we finished, I was completely stuffed, but my boyfriend still found room for the homemade Oreo and mint ice cream. I was too full to try it, but judging by how quickly it vanished, I'm guessing it was just as good as everything else we ordered. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels welcoming without trying too hard, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit.

The service was outstanding, and we really appreciated the owner coming out to say hello and ask how we liked our meal. We will definitely come back here again!

Unfortunately, it was nothing good. No comparison to the previous owners in quality and experience…read more New owners. Gluten Free was an issue and owner complained a bit, saying call ahead for GF pasta. The GF pasta was several clumpy messes in an Alfredo sauce. Gnocchi with Alfredo was horrible. Gnocchi was gummy, not fresh. The Alfredo sauce tasted like Classico from a jar. So, so terrible. Furthermore, ice cubes in your water were not an option. Asked for ice cubes, his son said he could give a little. He brought 1/2 glass...we shared it among the two of us. No ice cubes. Perhaps, my expectations are to high; but, always thought Ice water is a restaurant staple. Dessert refrigerator was empty. No fresh italian dessert. Baklava was in the case. The other issue, if he has no business he closes earlier and doesn't stay around. Wanted pizza one night, drove there from Penn Valley an hour before closing and coincidentally the owner was driving out. He stopped his car, asked what I wanted, I said "Pizza". He said sorry no business closed early. i said oh and went to Pete's Pizza had a nice pizza and drove home. Finally, in my opinion, it's not fresh Italian. It's from a jar, packaged and frozen products put together slabbed on a plate and called Italian. The owner commuted pizza was easier, pull dough from freezer, put sauce, toppings and bake. Italian food needs Italian bread, breadsticks...not pita bread. Unfortunately, very terrible food and experience. Hope many others enjoy the food and experience. Local won't be coming back. God bless the previous owners, good and hard work.

South Pine Cafe - Grass Valley

This spot is perfect for a weekend, breakfast or brunch. My friends and I stopped here on Sunday…read morebefore we left town after a fun weekend in Nevada city and it is a must visit! We were very hungry by the time we sat down due to the long, wait, but it was well worth it. However, that are hunger. I forgot to take very good food pictures. The kitchen and historic charm of the decor hides a quite spacious restaurant that is decorated with historic furnishings, and adorable crayon pictures colored by local children. The menu is varied and has something for everyone. I tried the potato pancakes, which are hashbrowns mixed with cheese and garlic and onions on top with pesto sauce and eggs, and I must say that they were a delightful surprise, crispy and savory and worth every bite. My friends ordered the tofu breakfast burrito at Cuevo rancheros along with the bacon and egg breakfast at all said they were. We chose to share a three person mimosa, which includes a bottle of champagne and juice of your choice to accompany, and it was just perfect for our group. Our survey Anna was very busy, but made sure to check on us after serving the food and made sure that the food was served our liking and responded to every request we had. I would definitely plan on waiting in line on the weekends. They have a self-service waiting list and they will call you - inside or outside- when your table is ready. We waited a full 45 minutes on a Sunday around 11:00 am. Worth the wait, though!

Ambiance is rustic as you are in an old building near downtown but is roomy and clean with lots of seating. Food and drinks: Coffee and iced tea: both good and refills kept coming. Lobster Benedict- 3.5/5. Eggs were overcooked to medium. The hollandaise was spicy but good. Lobster was a little overwhelmed by the sauce and the potatoes needed more crisp and seasoning. Biscuit and sausage gravy with a medium egg- 3.5/5. The egg was perfectly over medium. The biscuit was light and fluffy. The gravy was good but it was ham gravy ...not sausage (just FYI). We would go back and try something different.

We run a mobile coffee business, so seeing some of the reviews that said they were "disappointed" that they couldn't get a large cappuccino or that macchiato would be a small drink is frustrating. Starbucks has ruined the coffee experience for majority of people. Espresso drinks are made with specific ratios of milk to espresso so making something a "large" that's designed to be a 6 ounce drink, doesn't work unless you want to pay extra for extra shots. I wish people knew what they were ordering before giving a coffee house a 4/5 starts. *Sigh*. We got a brown honey/hazelnut latte and brown sugar cardamom latte. We make all our own syrups for our coffee trailer so we're bougie. I like the sweetness of the honey/hazelnut but couldn't really taste the hazelnut. The cardamom latte had an interesting savory component that I wasn't a super fan of, but overall, good coffee!

I'll reserve judgment on the vegetarian entre options until we have tried more. First try was a bit bland even with ordering extra hot peppers. The vegetarian taco is a nice option, but it really tastes like a tofu scramble in a tortilla. In other words, it is great that there is a vegetarian taco option. It is unfortunate that it feels like an afterthought.

First off I do not frequent higher end restaurants very often. I wanted to take my girlfriend out…read morefor a nice dinner on my birthday, so we invited my brother and his wife. I made reservations for 4 of us for a Friday night at 5:00. We were seated in the dining area on time, however because of the time of day the sunshine that was reflected off the building across the street through the window was absolutely blinding. We moved a table back but there was no difference. I let our guests sit in the seats that were not facing this terrible reflection and just dealt with it myself. We should have actually moved completely but didn't want to make a big deal about it. This issue could be easily fixed with blinds (duh) So we ordered our food. Women ordered the ball steak (which is sirloin) my brother ordered fish and I ordered the filet. Well the ball steaks were absolutely horrible (tough as shoe leather) fish (salmon) was ok and filet was also good but undercooked plus they forgot my mashed potatoes. ($69 for a 8oz filet which was probably more like 6 oz ) you would expect much better. We pointed that out (which is quite unbelievable they forgot the potatoes) they eventually brought them on a separate plate ( they were just warm). The butter was still pretty much frozen in the little tin cup that they serve it in. So we pointed out the two ball steaks were like leather. Both of the women have ordered those before and they have been good, well not this time. For the kind of money you spend for these meals, it really is sad. They did remove the two steak dinners from the bill but that does not make it all good in my opinion. Oh yeah and 5 slices of tomato's with cheese on top ( that were not ripe ) at $18 are you serious) For one of the top restaurants in this area, they completely failed. IWaitress was very nice and apologized (like they should) but unfortunately we won't be going back.

This is a wonderful bakery! First of all, I'm not vegetarian, vegan, allergic, and have no problem with gluten or sugar. But I have close friends who have dietary restrictions and I wanted to get them some treats for St. Patrick's Day. I went to Corvus and got chocolate cupcakes with green frosting. OMG! This might just be the best cupcake I've ever had! I was expecting these to be "ok," but they were moist, chocolatey and super delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly and I will definitely be back. read more
