Solid coffee house! After reading the other reviews I went…read moreand asked for a "large cappuccino" just to give them a good laugh. 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!

My friend and I stopped in here after a hike to get some caffeine. I love me a dirty chai and when…read moreI saw the plethora of options and the fact that they call themselves a chai house, I was excited! My friend ordered a hot dirty chai and I got the iced. They were very busy, given the holiday weekend so it took almost 15 minutes by the way. When they finally called the drinks out, they had only made mine a dirty chai, so they had to add espresso to hers. Fine. I was excited to drink it but both my friend and I took a sip and made the same exact disgusted face. There was nothing redeeming about the drink, and it tasted like chalk. The stars for this place were for the scone, which was delicious. That said, the chai was awful and I wouldn't recommend.

what a cute VIBE! oh my god I walked in and immediately said "oh this coffee is about to be soo…read moregood" and I do love being right. while I didn't get much this stop, the black iced coffee I had was heavenly. You can tell they really care about the coffee they procure and brew. there was some amazing looking pastries and breakfast sandwiches that I'm definitely gonna have to give a try my next time in. absolutely obsessed with the abundance of burlap sacks full of coffee beans showering the shop and personally loved that they had an entire list of all the beans available for purchase including region and flavour profiles. Caroline's a definitely going to be one of my top coffee spots from now on!

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.

Stopped in today after a local hike and instantly loved the cozy vibe of this place. I ordered the…read moreegg and bacon toast and added avocado. It was absolutely delicious. The employees were kind, welcoming, and made the experience even better. I didn't try any of their drinks since I'm a bit picky with caffeine, but I do wish they offered lemonades. Overall, it was a really nice spot and I'll definitely be back. Make sure to check them out!

Ate on the breakfast/lunch side of Heartwood eatery. Just found this place and look forward to…read moretrying the dinner side next time. Today we ordered the vegan miso soup bowl. It was $14 and was completely forgettable. The bowl wasn't any where near full. The miso soup was bland. We got the quinoa added and it was totally forgettable. Said it would have green pea and sunflower shoots, but we had none. There were some green onions slices floating around on the top. We ordered two dishes to share and this one didn't fit the bill as a shareable item. For the disappointment we had in the miso it was totally made up by the vegan kale cesar salad. It was a large bowl of yum! Hearty serving of well dressed kale. The Cesar dressing delicious! Slices of cucumber, avocado and chick peas and a beautiful thick slice of bread on top. It was so filling we easily shared it and filled us up. It was $15 only a dollar more than miso broth bowl. It's was so worth every penny. The service was friendly and fast. It's a pick your own table place, which means one usually has to wipe their table down for crumbs. We don't mind. It's a cute place. We found parking fairly easy. Commercial street being blocked off to traffic is nice.

Very poor experience this morning. I had my dog with me - ordered latte and a berry croissant…read more Overpriced ($16!), but wanted to support a local business. All was going fine, and we were happily bopping to the music while my pastry was being heated, but my pup yelped at a clearly non-dog person and the manager (?) came out screaming at me "THAT DOG CANNOT BE IN HERE!!" I am happy to avoid businesses with anti-dog policies if they are posted (was not). And, by law, a business has to ask you if it's a service animal before asking you to leave. Regardless, I would have been happy to leave with my already purchased product, but the woman kept screaming while I was waiting for them to hand me my pastry. I was so embarrassed and angry with her attitude, I spilled my coffee on the sidewalk outside as I was trying to get away from her. There are service-oriented ways to address this type of situation - yelling at your customers is not one. Especially followed by a snide "have the day you deserve" as I was leaving. I will never return and will discourage others. Ftr, went to Flour Garden and after hearing the story, they gave me a discount on my replacement latte. The pastry sucked, by the way - overdone on the outside, claggy on the inside and no flavor.

While not the easiest place to find, located immediately behind the IGA grocery in a different…read moreparking lot than the grocery, it is worth the time to seek and find.

This cafe was hidden away in an industrial neighborhood. I didn't expect it to be this cozy and…read morethis inviting when I first waked up, but looks can be deceiving. There was a decent size amount of people in the cafe, but what hit me right away was the smell of bacon. Ohhhhhh! It was divine! Was greeted immediately upon entering and was helped with my order--a 16oz mocha--right away. It gave me a minute to look at the food and other pastries available. Everything looked fresh and homemade. Take note that there were a lot of gluten free options here which is wonderful news for anyone having to watch their diet. My coffee was warm and not chalky like some mochas can be. I wish I could have stayed and sat for a spell, but I had to get on the road. Looking forward to making time for breakfast next time I am up in the area.
