I would assume on busier days like the weekend, parking would be pretty difficult. We were sat right away. It smelled so good in there from the fresh squeezed orange juice. There are plenty of tables and bar seating. My mom ordered the portabella scramble and I ordered a half order of the portabella Benedict. We both really liked what we ordered. The potatoes were lacking a little bit of flavor, but salt helped. Portions were good-sized for the price. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We will be back if we are in the area.

Well, this place delivered nothing short of an excellent experience! They were pretty busy, so we sat the bar. The service was great, fast and nothing short of amazing! Got to sample their beverage menu and have one of my favorite eggs Benedict dishes... hot off the grill, mouthwatering and delicious. The setting and atmosphere was pretty chill and relaxed, with some friendly neighbors around. I will be back to this place again and look forward to expanding my knowledge of their menu, as there was multiple things I wanted to try. Go check it out today, if you haven't been. This place is happening for sure!!!

Here are my / our experiences and observations: 1. After trying just about everything on the breakfast/lunch menu, I have yet to had a bad meal. The food is always done just right and the flavors excellent. 2. The service is amazing; when your not looking the coffee mug, water or cold beverage glass is always kept full. Often the waitress will come around to check if all is okay. The waitresses are very well dressed and groomed with personalities to match. 3. The restaurant is very clean with a touch of home environment. What are my favorite meals: Breakfast: Their "Waffle (plain or Belgian), eggs (cooked to your liking), bacon or sausage (patties or links) combo" is awesome. Lunch: They are known for their burgers, fry's and onion rings - the best. The same can be said for their Patty Melt and French Dip sandwiches. Awe heck, all the sandwiches are GREAT! They offer a couple of various flavors of soups daily, all very good, especially their Lobster Bisque when available! YOU KNOW A PLACE HAS TO BE GOOD BY CHECKING OUT THEIR PARKING LOT. From 7:00 am until 1:00 pm the lot is usually full, however their seems to be a good turnover. WAIT FOR A SPACE TO BECOME AVAILABLE, YOU WON'T REGRET IT !!! PS: No, I am not an owner or am I being paid to give this review. I am speaking for myself and many other of my acquaintances.

The place itself is really homey and quaint. being from Texas, however, the place could stay in to have some central air conditioning in the summer because it was incredibly warm and stuffy in that restaurant. Service was great and staff was friendly. Food was really delicious. This is a great place to go back to and try all menu items, if you're in the area.

Good breakfast and great coffee. Had a super nice waitress this morning. We arrived at 7:00 am as…read morethey opened and had coffee while we waited for the cook to arrive as he was running a bit late. We didn't mind as we were relaxing while on vacation and the coffee was smooth and welcoming. Ambiance was nice and trendy. The only sad part to dampen this place was the cooks sour attitude. We welcomed him as he arrived with his cute young boy and he glared at us and refused to respond. We laughed at his very rude, boorishness. However, he had time later to sit with a few local friends and talk at a nearby table. Clearly he's an unhappy person and the owner should know how his poor behavior appears to customers. Not a good blend for a tourist town. We will always remember our stop here and refer to it as the "rude cranky cook". UPDATE: So after some research it appears that the sarcasm noted below is from the owner the "cranky cook" himself. His photo appears on their website as the owner. ‍ Rather than simply apologizing for the behavior or offering an explanation they instead chose sarcasm as well as a private, snarky message to me. This unprofessional attitude speaks volumes about the type of people who own the restaurant. Apparently attacking the Yelp reviewer/customer is acceptable in their world. ‍

The lettuce on our burgers was fresh, crisp, quality lettuce (some sort of spring mix perhaps?). I do wish they had thousand island sauce as I was not the biggest fan of their special sauce (it tasted -- and looked like-- tarter sauce and thousand island had a baby and then you mellowed it out with a ton of mayo). Fries were salty but fresh tasting (no old oil, yeah!). It was clean inside the restaurant, as was the restroom. The shake was phenomenal. The service was fast and the employees were kind to my kids despite being busy (as my kids requested to post their coloring pages with the others on the wall).

Over 100 omelets to choose from! I got the spinach omelet with broccoli and bacon. It also came with hash browns. The omelet was HUGE! I am not a big girl so I could only have a few bites. Love the rye swirl bread as well. Eggs were fluffy and perfect! It's a relaxing atmosphere with a full bar and plenty of seating.

My Dad lives in Grass Valley and every time I come up from the Bay Area this is where I eat…read more Now, caveat, he's in his 70s and thinks a $19 sandwich with housemade meats on craft bread is absolutely outrageous, he would be just as happy eating at Subway. There's nothing wrong with his opinion, I don't eat that garbage, but if you can't tell or don't care about quality (yes, I'm being snarky, but seriously, if you're going to complain you have options...) Anyhow, this is where I come to eat, I always pay, and he complains about the price of the sandwich (I paid for) while he eats all of his sandwich and then finishes mine- it is also a lot of food, usually two meals for me, but I'm not a voracious eater. If you're still here after my rant, the food here is quality, you're going to pay more, you're going to wait for it to be prepared, because its not some cafeteria conveyer belt sandwich- it's crafted. The shop is very small, ambiance is- small meat counter, the soda machine has been broken as long as I've been coming, there's no indoor dining. I know, I'm not selling it. BUT Outside you have outdoor tables under the trees, there are birds singing, it feels completely Nevada City, much preferred to eating inside. Typically I order the Reuben and I think that's their best sandwich, but I've also tried the Roast Beef, Italian Ham, and Turkey. I know I mentioned their soda machine is broken, but they have plenty of sodas in a cooler as well as a few very good sides- I'm partial to the Dijon potato salad. So final thoughts- cheapskates with broken tastebuds stay home, let the real ones eat.

BEWARE of the incredible underwhelm once you unwrap to see the smallest sub ever, and then the bland flavor of turkey and hardest rye roll that my dog wouldn't even bother with. What a bummer. At least I don't have to be curious about this place anymore. And I assume times are hard for local businesses, so I'm glad I supported them this one time.

I don't know what they did -- but they have definitely regressed. I ordered a "healthy" item with…read morecouscous, and it was very mediocre. I was disappointed and ended up throwing the rest away when I got home. In addition, they wanted to charge me a few extra dollars for the benefit of using my credit card instead of paying cash. Fortunately, I had cash on me and used that instead. Just imagine all the "free" money this restaurant is racking up daily from customers who use their credit cards instead of paying cash, which they may not have on them. I truly view that as thievery. Even if the restaurant has to pay a small transaction fee to the credit card company when a customer uses a credit card -- they can still write off those fees. But their customers can't write off those few extra dollars that they have to pay the restaurant in order to use their credit card. I will never step foot in their restaurant again. Colfax deserves better!

We were there on a busy weekend, so there was a little bit of a wait, but we were able to sit outside at one of the tables in front of the restaurant. I went to the fact that we were outside of the restaurant service was not great, but that is to be expected on a busy weekend with a tiny little restaurant in a tourist town. The food was fine. The coffee was not great, but everyone has different taste when it comes to coffee. I really appreciated that I ordered my hashbrowns and bacon an extra crispy and it came out extra crispy. However, once our food was served, we didn't see the server again and we had to go inside for a request for more coffee, drink refills, etc. I would say that this is a reliable place for breakfast if you are in Nevada city for the weekend
