Sweetie Pie's was a great find during our visit to Placerville. We were looking for a breakfast…read morespot to kick off the day, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The place has a unique, homey charm that makes you feel comfortable right away. We did have to wait a bit on a Sunday morning. A nice touch is that coffee is self-serve inside, which adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Wanting to try something different, I ordered the Chile Relleno Casserole. I'd never had anything like it for breakfast. It had a light, fluffy egg-based texture with chiles throughout, making for a really interesting and tasty dish. Overall, it was a great way to start our Placerville adventure, and I'd happily stop by again.

My first review was flagged and taken down, so here is number 2…read more.. We were seated at a tiny table right by a high-traffic doorway. We ordered coffee, a mimosa, pancakes, eggs, bacon, avocado toast, and hash browns. Then, our server vanished into thin air for a full 45 minutes. We watched the entire dining room empty, reset, and seat new guests. People who sat down long after us finished their meals and paid their checks before our food even touched the table. From what we can tell, our server went on a break and forgot to submit our order to the kitchen. When we tried to flag down other staff, they aggressively avoided eye contact. I was ready to shout, "Hey Sweetie, we just want our overpriced breakfast!" When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and wrong. The toast could have doubled as a brick. The hash browns were a culinary enigma--simultaneously burnt to a crisp and cold/raw in the center (I still can't fathom how that physics experiment works). Still no server in sight! When she finally ambled back, she was completely oblivious to the disaster, acting as if she had just delivered a Michelin-star dining experience. I eat out at least five times a week, and in my entire life, I have never left without tipping. Today was an absolute first. Sweetie Pie's, we won't be back. Not that anyone there will notice!

Absolutely Delicious!…read more I recently tried the scones at Flowerless in Placerville, and I honestly can't say enough good things about them! Every single one I've tried has been incredibly moist, flavorful, and delicious--and you'd never guess they're gluten-free! Their cinnamon rolls are delightful too! They have so many other goodies that I haven't gotten around to trying yet, but I'm definitely excited to work my way through the menu. If you're looking for delicious gluten-free baked goods in Placerville, I highly recommend giving Flowerless a try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

So happy there's a bakery that friends and I can enjoy together!…read more This time we experienced a beautiful chocolate flourless cake with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries. It was great. The chocolate taste was rich and decadent while the jam on top was sweet but not cloyingly sweet. The fresh raspberries on top were not only a pretty decoration but each raspberry was perfect. We also tasted the cannele that were perfectly made with a hint of orange and a center that is not dry but moist and very enjoyable. We also tasted a strawberry and cream filled cream puff topped with chocolate. So light, fresh and tasty. Highly recommend this bakery to everyone.

This place was a good, basic lunch spot on the way to Apple Hill. I had googled where to go for…read morelight lunch possibilities, and I'm glad we chose this place. The setting is a family friendly American comfort food type place. Plenty of breakfast options, sandwiches, burgers, and heartier dinner platters. I didn't know what to get....the open faced turkey sandwich sounded delicious, but might have been heavy for a hot afternoon, so I ordered a simple cheese omelette. It wasn't overdone, and had a good amount of cheese. The hash browns were near perfect... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My sister, a French dip connoisseur, loved her sandwich, and wishes she lived here so she could take it home. High compliments from her. Prices were reasonable, too, so for a quick bite much better than fast food, I would recommend.

Every time my dad and I drove to Tahoe, we had a tradition. We'd stop at Buttercup Pantry for one…read moreof their delicious sandwiches and a slice of pie before continuing our trip. Those stops became part of the journey. Today I stopped again. I skipped the pie this time, but ordered the Club sandwich. It was just as fresh and satisfying as I remembered. The turkey was tender, the ham and bacon were flavorful, the vegetables were crisp, and the bread was soft and fresh. With every bite, I found myself thinking about my dad. Sometimes a restaurant is more than just a place to eat. It's where memories are made and revisited years later. Thank you, Buttercup Pantry, for keeping this tradition alive. I'll definitely be back... and next time, I'll probably have the pie.

No homeless encampments, chaos, just lots of people taking photos and buying stuff. I really enjoyed people-watching and I love to shop so I'm sort of beating myself up for not visiting Apple Hill sooner! I will definitely be back on my own because we were on a time crunch and only visited 2 places but I'm glad this was the first stop! I just wanted BBQ so I skipped the long line I saw in the front and ordered it from the bar, the young woman working was very pleasant & kind! Everyone was actually!

Beautiful views that trail wrap around vineyards- the entrance is breathtaking! Small pop up booths of local vendors surround the orchard with cute gifts and souvenirs for the harvest season. They also have a fruit stand- & i love fresh fruit but the majority of the fruit here was split open and looking dull or brown in appearance like it was close to expiring. The lines were long for the cider donuts & sadly it didn't move fast. So I never got to try to cider donuts bc when I went it was almost one hr from closing. A lot of the pies were sorted through and the ones left were scattered in type and limited so decided not to take one home. And it was overall a smaller, more crowded stand then I expected with limited variety. Im sure they have great cider donuts- but I would recommend getting here first thing in the morning. This seems to be one of the more popular stands and parking can become complicated. I will have to give it another try to see a true experience because I feel like I didn't get to gather the true festive experience here.
