What an incredible, community coffee shop with photo gallery, plants for sale, and comfy places to sit and eat. You should stop in even if just to enjoy some of Rob Hirsch's amazing Yosemite and wildlife photography. read more

Must see Coffee House / Nursery / Garden all-in-one. This is literally a house turned into a coffee shop. Inside there are several rooms for socializing and enjoying a sip. Each room has its own aura. Outside you'll find a relatively large nursery with plenty of shade and tables. The drink menu is diverse and offers something for everyone. The drinks were good but not out of this world. I'd say the ambiance and decor is the Defirentiating factor here. read more

Great coffees in this little town! We stopped by to grab coffee and was surprised by place's garden. They were so kind to let us have our pup run around and it seemed like they have a resident pup too running around (Husky). Such great customer service and delicious coffees/matchas! Highly recommend a visit and talk to the owners there to learn more about the history. Great way to end our trip! read more

An amazing spot on the way to Yosemite. Drinks are lovely, staff is great, has good food options, and an amazing indoor / outdoor area to sit for a while and relax. There's even a very affordable thrift-style clothing rack inside with some sneaky good finds. read more

If you are headed to Yosemite valley and want some espresso based drink before you enter the NP, then this is the place! This is in Groveland and serves some great variety of drinks and some quick bites. This is also an historic place and you can look around and learn more about the house in which this cafe is located. They also have a small but beautiful nursery for you to check out while waiting for the drinks. You can also shop for some cool local art works and some clothing here! This was such a fun place to discover during this visit to Yosemite! read more

Mountain Sage Coffee - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Groveland, California

Stopped by on my way through town. Cute little spot with multiple seating with shade. Tried the vanilla honey latte iced which was nice. Also got their coffee cake & lemon bar which were both tasty. The reason for docking two stars is due to portion size. In their display case they have the coffee cakes plated. However, the sizings are completely off. Some pieces are double the size and some are half of the size. Lemon bar was also fairly small but very tasty. I feel like the staff truly depicts which piece they give you depending on how much of a "customer favorite" you are. Vanilla Honey latte iced $8 Coffee cake $4:75 Lemon bar $4.00 read more

Cute coffee shop in Groveland. The shop is in a house with an eclectic mix of other things for sale, such as photo prints and a thrift store. There's also a plant nursery outside, but we didn't get to check it out as it was raining when we stopped by. My friend and I stayed in Groveland for a night and grabbed some drinks here before we left in the morning. I had the Mexican hot chocolate ($4.75 for a small) and my friend had a latte for $4. Vibes are very homey, and seating is casual with a random assortment of tables and chairs. read more

Weird barista. We came in and she was walking around the house area and kind of curtly said she would help us in a minute. Then as we ordered she was very curt and rude, kind slapping the cups and milk down and behaving as if we were wasting her time. We got our coffee, which consisted of the chai latte, the brown sugar nutmeg latte, and a cold brew. None of the drinks were good - which might be attributed to the fact that she was making them hastily. We also noticed that she was much nicer to the guy in line behind us, which was an odd switch up in behavior. We thought she might just be having a bad day, but she changed her entire tone with the guy behind us. The reviews here are pretty misleading, because neither the service nor the coffee was good. The house itself and garden is lovely however. read more

Good coffee shop! We get here to get some coffees and they were excellent. I got hot chocolate and my friends got caramel ice latte. Price is affordable , the place is clean , spacious, and they have a lot of good decorations. My friends like to come here to take some photos. They have some garden and sell the plants. Baristas are friendly. They were so creative to make a house into a coffee shop :D so cool!! Will be back with my friends! read more

Such good coffee! Really cute location. Its a house converted into a coffee shop and nurserry. Beautulf place to sit and have a coffee. We saw someone on a Zoom meeting, so Wifi seems decent too. They make their own syrups too which was very cool. $16 for two coffees so its not cheap but very good. read more

I've now tried Iron Door, La Dolce Vita, and Mountain Sage Coffee in Groveland. For me and my partner this is the place to go to. First off, I asked for a traditional macchiato and they knew how to make it. Second, food we got was very good - nice bagel. Third, we were able to sit in the morning sun in the garden in back and enjoy the sun and the view. Prices were reasonable and the food was homemade. From the street we wren't sure if it was open, but it was. The coffee part is in the back of the building. Watch your head if you're over about 5'10" - there's a low doorway to the coffee bar! This is where we're heading in Groveland in the future when we need coffee. read more

Very disrespectful lady she asked if I was going to pay with card or cash. I said card once I brought out my phone she started yelling at me talking about if I pull out my phone that's considered paying with card and not cash I said I know I said card and she continued to try and gas light me. And was very disrespectful to me and many other customers She should be fired and replaced with someone who cares about customers and the progression of a small business read more

During my Yosemite weekend getaway, I came here 3 days in a row because I just love quirky cafes like this place. They make their own syrups and they make their own baked goods. The lemon bar and GF banana bread is simply delish! Get the bread warm! Chelsea (hope I spelled the name right), is super kind and her husky is such a great addition to the cafe. read more

The counter help looked up when I walked in and continued conversing with an acquaintance/customer while making her order, no big deal, I'm pretty patient an there isn't much of a choice out here as far as coffee houses. She then continued this conversation while ignoring me for another ten plus minutes. When I'd finally had enough of the wait and the Groveland "hospitality" I've come to expect over the past 20 years of vacationing here, I finally decided to exit, she was then ready to take my order. No thanks. I'll pass on the overpriced mediocre coffee. The house is cute, though. Very charming place minus the staff. read more

Really great tea lattes. And super cute shop husky that you can say hi too. They run out of food pretty quickly, so recommend coming early for breakfast or just getting one of their great drinks. read more

Sweat pants, worn T shirt, home like cozy place for coffee and pastries. This old house is drafty. The pot belly stove in the front room and the heat lamp in the back where the coffee bar is make the place even more cozy. read more

Siblings and I went here twice during our stay in the town. Both times, we were their at their opening hours. The staff were truly accommodating and friendly.

This place is so cool. Try the mushroom coffee. Clean and eclectic, a perfect stop on your way to Yosemite!

Place was so pretty, if you are in the area you need to check it out. Just for the garden, cool rooms, art etc. Unfortunately the chai I got was just not good. No sweetness, not much spice either. read more

Coffee was deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelish! Super friendly staff. I like that they make their own syrups.

A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home Mountain Sage Café is simply amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming. One of my favorite things is their beautiful outdoor seating area. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while surrounded by nature. The coffee is excellent, the food is delicious, and the whole vibe is peaceful and relaxing. Whether you're stopping by after a hike or just want a quiet place to recharge, this café is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Magical coffee and small bites spot with cozy rooms for chatting, serene garden spaces with seating, plants for sale and even an art gallery. Apparently local music too. Locals do it best! A new fave/ momscape-within-the-vacation when we are in the area. read more

I found this place here on Yelp when looking for a place to stop on our road trip out of Yosemite. I'm so glad we stopped here! It was such a cool little place with so much history. The coffee shop is in the back of the building beyond a little living room seating area and an art gallery. The house that the coffee shop occupies was built in the 1860s I believe, and a lot of it still looks pretty original! The food and coffee drinks were all delicious, especially the breakfast burrito. Service was friendly and efficient and we learned a lot from our barista while she made our food and drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped in for some coffee on a pitstop and was pleasantly surprised by this tiny little shop! They have more than just your standard coffee menu, with a specialty drink menu and even had food and fresh baked goods. I enjoyed my vanilla oolong tea latte which I saw her steep fresh to order. My husband's brown sugar nutmeg latte was also tasty but it wasn't even a full cup. When she put it out on the counter it was just about 3/4 full which is disappointing considering it was $6+! Otherwise, the taste was good. The wait time is a little long because it was just one girl by herself so she would take an order, make those drinks, and then take the next order and so on, so just be patient! read more

This is actually my second visit to Mountain Sage Coffee, and the first time was such a wonderful surprise! From the outside, it already looks charming, but once you step inside, it's even better. There are so many cozy rooms to explore, including one with thrifted clothes for sale, plus an eclectic mix of couches and tables in all shapes and sizes. The whole place has an adorable shabby-chic, kitschy vibe. The drinks are unique, too--my boyfriend loved the orange dark chocolate latte, and I was obsessed with the hot chocolate topped with seasonal pumpkin spice whipped cream. So delicious! I'll definitely be stopping by whenever I'm in the area. read more

Very cute little coffee shop and nice outdoor nursery. The brown sugar hazelnut latte was delicious.

hidden little gem full of art and clothes as soon as you walk in. the coffee shop is all the way in the back, they have a lot of drink options. they also had a few pastries and bagels? but when i went they had a post it that said they were out so maybe it was just that day. I got the brown sugar nutmeg latte which was ok didn't really taste like coffee just like sweet milk. read more

We stopped here on our way to Yosemite. The ambiance is fun with art, photography, and a store to wander around while you wait for your order. And, it will take awhile. When we were there, there was only one person working and the line was pretty long. I ordered a latte which was good and coffee cake which was not good. The cake was steeped in syrup and had become crystallized somehow? It's a cute place though. So if you have extra time and order other pastries, you might have a better experience. read more

Stopped by after reading great reviews and you won't be disappointed. If you love orange and dark chocolate, get the Orange Dark Chocolate Latte. The barista freshly peels the zest off the orange right before making it. It was one of the most unique drinks that tasted delicious! read more

5/5 coffee. This place was really great and came because of the excellent reviews. It is a photo gallery, coffee shop, and nursery. There's a lot of seating in the back and it's very peaceful. The coffee was also incredible. I had the orange flavored coffee and The taste was super interesting and the espresso was delicious. I wouldn't come here for food (selection didn't look great) but the coffee was for sure the highlight. read more

Whenever I visit a new city, I love visiting coffee shops to see what the locals like to drink. I am done with buying coffee from big chains like Starbucks and prefer to support Mom and Pop businesses when I purchase coffee. I was visiting Yosemite and stayed at Groveland which is a fairly small city with very few restaurants, so I was very excited to find Mountain Sage here on Yelp! The cool part is that this coffee shop is also a nursery that sells gardening materials. I personally am not a plant person due to personal reasons (I cannot keep them alive.. hah!) but I know a lot of plant lovers who may want to check out this spot! Additionally, they also have merchandise that they sell like hats, t-shirts and lots of little trinkets. Also, they have lots of cute items/decorations that you can look through. I wish we had more time to look at all the things that they had, but we were just briefly stopping by to get coffee. Right now, because of COVID, there is a one way pathway, meaning that you enter one door and exit another. It works out, because the pathway gives you an opportunity to look at all parts of the coffee shop. I believe there is outdoor sitting to hang out that is now open and I even saw a hammock! This is what we ordered in my two visits: Brown Sugar Nutmeg 5/5: my mom got hot and she loved it, I got it iced and it was equally good! Vanilla Honey 5/5: my mom likes he drinks hot and she enjoyed this drink also Iced Green Tea Latte 3.5/5 I didn't know what to get and I wanted tea but with caffeine and this is what they suggested. I didn't like the aftertaste and I wished I could have gotten one of the special lattes. read more

My experience was very disappointing given the great reviews. First off, it took a LONG time for each person to get served because they only had one staff member with a long line - she was great and so sweet, but it took forever. I got the vanilla oolong latte and it tasted awful IMO. Would not order it again and I am generally a fan of both vanilla and oolong. Additionally, the banana bread left a lot to be desired and I ate like a quarter of it and gave up. It was very dry. I wish my experience had been as good as these reviews! read more

I like Groveland and after buying the family ice cream at the Mercantile, which is so cute, I wanted a coffee from here. I ordered an iced latte with oat milk, half caff. It's the most I've ever paid for coffee in my life and my daughter said I've been around the world and never paid that much for coffee. $9.55 it was excellent but incredibly expensive. read more
