    Huevos rancheros
    Samantha N.

    Delightful.the eggs were cooked to a runny perfection and the sauce elevated the rancheros. Everything was fresh, even the OJ. Pancakes were a little undercooked and could have been fluffier. Who doesn't love downtown grass valley! A lovely outdoor seating area on the walkable street, love to people-watch there.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Alison G.

    Pepe's Coffee Shop was the perfect stop while walking downtown in the rain. It has a classic diner vibe. It was warm, relaxed, and welcoming, which felt especially nice after being out in the weather. I had the cheesesteak, which was filling and comforting, and the French fries tasted fresh and crispy. My partner ordered a bacon burger that was cooked exactly how he asked for it. Our son got a grilled cheese, and it was simple and perfect, definitely kid-approved. Everything came out hot and well prepared. We were seated by the window, and it was actually really nice to sit and watch people walking by outside while staying dry and comfortable inside. The waitress and servers were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It's the kind of place you stop into by chance and end up really enjoying. We'd definitely come back next time we're downtown.

    BLT, sweet potato fries

    The food is consistently high quality fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What really stands out is the customer service. You're not just treated like a guest, you're treated like family. Even if I didn't know them personally, I'd still be recommending this place! Highly recommend giving them a try!

    The Frittatas and Caroline's coffee.
    Rancher R.

    This is a classic breakfast and lunch cafe with some nice extras. The menu included the standard breakfast and lunch fare with the addition of Huevos Rancheros, Baskets, and Frittatas. We selected the Bacon & Cheddar and Pit Ham Frittatas. They were delicious. The service was attentive and friendly. The coffee came from Caroline's, a local Grass Valley coffee roaster, and it was excellent. We'll be back to try some of the other extras.

    BBQ Bacon Basket. Those two disks of sourdough on top are the most perfect toast you will ever experience.
    Eilonwy W.

    Friendly little diner serves modern versions of traditional diner fare. If you're ordering breakfast, check out the section of "baskets." These are "egg in a basket" dishes (egg fried in the middle of a piece of toast) with assorted toppings. My BBQ Bacon Basket had perfectly cooked bacon and was delightful and filling comfort food. The iced tea is made with real tea. Prices are very reasonable.

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.

The setting and atmosphere was pretty chill and relaxed, with some friendly neighbors around.

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 !!!

    Tried this spot for the first time. Was excited to find something new in the area! Yay!!…read more This place offers small tapas type meals. We ordered it by DoorDash. They have nice to-go containers, but be careful because they do leak! Depending on the dish. The paper bag got a little grease on it, so beware of your seats (if Togo!) The organic corn cake was amazing in my dish. I really enjoyed that. Nice job! The dish I got was Arepa de la Casa, and it all went well together. If your party is ordering individually, don't order this alone, because it requires to be paired with another dish that has a protein. It's more of an accompaniment, not a meal. My partner got the Steelhead Trout. This dish is more of a meal. He did enjoy. He was convinced it was salmon. It did look like salmon and it kind of tasted like it too! Haha We decided to share the Chicken Adobo. The thigh chicken --by placing my fork to eat, fell right off and onto my fork. It looked moist! However, upon eating, it was extremely dry!!! Bone dry! Which was very surprising how moist it looked! The flavors were good otherwise, so a little disappointed. But the good news, that can be fixed! The rice underneath had a nice flavor too. If I recall, it was more of a wet rice. His brother got the Arepas Rellenas: Carne Desmechada. Also more of a meal. Now on this dish, the protein (brisket) was very present, but for $24 it should be! It was basically the same size as my dish for $14. We should have shared, but I don't care for brisket! Haha I think in this meal you would want to have more of the accompaniments to even it out. So I suggest to order the Arepa de la Casa to go with it. I love what they're doing. I love how the menu is limited, which can be good or bad. I think I want try it again with the perspective of blending some of the plates together and hopefully the chicken cook time improves. :) I wish this spot the best of luck!

Shout out to server Sierra, who was friendly and happy to make recommended and answered all of our questions with a smile. The setting is open and a little loud, but being in the National Hotel, the aesthetic flowed well with the hotel decor. The disappointing part of my party's experience was the fact that service took sooo long. We ordered an appetizer which came out with our main entrees. And drinks that we ordered before any of the food came out, came long after our meal had been served and only after we we asked what had happened to them. We were told that the bar was very busy and that's what delayed our drinks. However, with such a popular hotel, you think they would plan for this in advance. Overall, I would dine here again, but not during the busy dinner service. I would come during off hours only or be seated for dinner at 5 PM before the rush.

We arrived a little early for our reservation and were taken to the bar to wait until our table was ready. Word to the wise, make a reservation as the place gets packed!

My only small nit is that I wish the bread was warm. *Stonefruit salad - this was delicious and very fresh *Scallops - absolutely delicious and perfectly seared and cooked! One thing I'll note is that the scallops are very very pricey at over $60 for 5-6 of them. I know it's super fresh and delicious, but this felt like it was overpriced. *Blintzes - we decided to finish with the blitzes for dessert, and these were delicious.
