Felt like we were coming over to a family member's house for a meal like we do every Sunday. We ordered the breakfast burrito (eggs were super soft and each bite was evenly distributed between all the fillings), lake Finnon omelette (lots of sweet savory ham), and the fluffiest buttermilk pancake. We also got a warm cup of coffee, refreshing lake Finnon sunrise, and a fried doughnut (doughnut was the perfect amount of sweet and crunch). We also loved the sweet fruits and potatoes which were fried to a nice crisp with soft interior. Place is super clean and quaint. We will definitely stop by every time we are in the area. Can't wait to try their lunch menu!

The service was extremely friendly and you can tell that everyone was excited to make something great. I got the grilled Brie sandwich with mushrooms and caramelized onions and I added bacon but I should have added a patty. It was a good sandwich but needed some extra crunch, like apple/pear slices if not adding a patty. My boyfriend got the pulled pork sandwich and he absolutely loved it. The sauce had an orange tang that worked really well. The French fries were super salty and hot and fresh and we really enjoyed our meal. The views outside were great! Inside was clean but the real views are outside.

I walked into this adorable little coffee shop Camino Coffee Mill and was immediately greeted with a huge smile by the gentleman behind the bar. He was incredibly friendly, struck up a conversation, and made me feel genuinely welcome from the moment I walked in. I didn't catch his name, but he provided amazing customer service. I ordered an iced mocha, and it was made quickly and tasted absolutely delicious--exactly what I needed for the drive home! It's always refreshing to find a place with both great coffee and even better customer service. If you're passing through the area or live nearby, I definitely recommend stopping in. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area!

The entire place has a cute, farm-style feel--very country, open, and spacious. They offer outdoor seating as well as beautiful long, communal wooden tables inside. There's a small open kitchen where you can watch the staff preparing the food, and the restrooms were clean and surprisingly spacious. They also carry local donuts, which were absolutely worth trying. We had the apple fritter, which was soft and delicious with the perfect crispy exterior. Our favorite was the almond bar--it was delicate, flaky, buttery, and so good. We also tried a cookie that was equally delicious. For lunch, we ordered the turkey sandwich, which was piled high with turkey and crisp vegetables, the bourbon bacon jam toast with melted brie, and a classic BLT. We kept it simple with water, which is available as self-serve. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor space. They have cornhole and bocce available to play around the property, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind, and they also have a small market area featuring drinks, local products, and other items for sale. The entire place is quaint and adorable, both inside and out. I highly recommend Blue Barn Provisions for lunch or brunch if you're in the Pollock Pines area! :) dog friendly.

If you're looking for fresh, flavorful food in a relaxed atmosphere with great service, Blue Barn Provisions is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back!

PLEASE COME HERE!! They make their apple cider donuts TO ORDER so they come out piping hot…read more Everything on their menu is homemade! We also got their corn dog and hot link corn dog to try, as well as their hot apple cider. I don't even like cake donuts, but something about a freshly made HOT donut will do something to you!! It was SO soft, hot, and had a good amount of cinnamon to it which I really appreciated. Get your own and don't share, you've been warned! The corn dog batter is delicious! Crispy on the outside and ever so slightly doughy on the inside while still being chewy and soft--it was so good! Not to mention the actual hot dog tasted like it was all beef, not sure if it was, but it definitely wasn't a Bar-S hot dog if you know what I mean! The hot link corn dog was my FAVORITE. Had a GREAT snap when bitten into and had a very small kick to it. I wish it was spicier but that's okay! I love a good corn dog. The hot apple cider was on the sweeter side, it was good on that chilly day but I most likely wouldn't get it again next time because it was a bit too sweet. You have to stop by Rainbow Orchards. Line moves fast and service is great. Also the trees everywhere make a great photo opportunity!

My 11 year old daughter and I came to the Ferry Building for a fun Mom and daughter morning. We hit the Rainbow Orchards stand first, for what was my first and sure to be last visit. We waited to the side while a customer who was there before us was helped, chatting about how much to get. That customer left, and he took the elderly guy who came after us first - no big deal. Then it was our turn and I asked him for 5 dollars worth and handed him a 20. I had 4 singles and a 20, and the choices were either 5 dollars worth, 8 dollars worth, or another amount I can't recall. He told my shy daughter snakily "Don't grow up to be a person who comes to the Farmer's Market and doesn't have exact change." It felt out of line for him to address her in that way. And, he's already complained about me not having exact change. Hey, either sell us the blueberries or don't, but were not here to be a sponge for your anger. So, I observed flatly, well, we don't have to buy anything. And he said, "yes, you do, because I already have your money." Okay, so another aggressive and weird response. I reached out to get the bag of blueberries, since evidently he was giving me no choice other than to buy them, and he backed up so they would be out of my reach. It was like the 4th rude thing he did that was unprovoked. I managed to get the bag and walk away, but he did ruin a chunk of our sweet trip to the Farmer's Market. I wonder how many shoppers had to deal with absorbing his hostility that day.

I was super excited and I guess it's been here for a while, so I guess it's not going anywhere. This place is amazing and it's so good! Everybody ordered something different and we all got to sample back-and-forth and we ordered enough so we would have stuff to take home and that was a pretty easy thing to do because the sizes of the plates are so big! And the value is really good too!! if you look at our pictures, the cod that we ordered is the small plate in the Wienerschnitzel is also a small plate! I had half a plate left on my beef stroganoff and we had half a plate left of the chicken Cordon Bleu because it was just so !! I almost felt like I was at the Matterhorn at Disneyland because this place is cute and classic at the same time and I feel like I'm taking a little bit of Germany home with me so excited to find this place We will be coming back for more because it's finding a little place in my heart that needed filling!!!

I also enjoyed my Goulash with spatzle and kraut, creamy and it really hit the spot. My wife enjoyed her Jaegerschnitzle with potato pancake and kraut. Both delicious options! When I come back in the future, I want to try to Stroganoff and the Baby Back Ribs! And I'll ask for a table in Valerie's section, bc her kindness took our experience over the top. Thank you Forester!!
