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 stylish and comfortable interior creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxing on the weekend or working on your laptop. As the name suggests, their coffee is top-notch. They clearly take great pride in their roasting techniques. The espresso is smooth and full-bodied, and the latte I ordered had a creamy, delicate foam with exquisite latte art. They truly achieve a perfect balance of flavors. Furthermore, the staff are friendly and helpful, always happy to assist you in selecting the right coffee beans or pastries based on your preferences. In short, this is definitely a place I'll be frequenting. Highly recommended for all coffee lovers!

The latte was pretty bad. Burnt coffee flavor. One avocado toast had a giant hair.

The white of the egg was not cookedAt $10 a piece they were not it. Would not come back.
