I found that Mini Mountain Moos was doing a pop-up at Roadside Coffeehouse in Pine Grove so we bought tickets to go. We arrived at Roadside Coffeehouse and I loved how cute and cozy it looked from the road. We checked into the event and then went inside to order some drinks and food. We ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte and a Maple Sticky Bun Cold Brew plus a Sausage Breakfast Burrito to share and a piece of their Banana Bread. Everything was really good - the burrito was a bit on the small side, but it was still flavorful and hit the spot. I liked that they had 2 different sitting areas inside the coffeehouse plus patio seating. They also offered board games and some merchandise for sell as well. Staff were friendly and the order came out quickly! I would definitely stop in again next time we're passing through Pine Grove! Coffee + cows = the perfect Saturday afternoon! Check them out!

I recently drove up to Amador County for an event (I live 2 hours away) and was told that if I stop at a fruit stand along the way and pick up some cherries, he will trade some SCRs for the cherries. (fair enough). I did, we did, I brought my SCR home and wrapped it tightly to enjoy the next morning. Next Morning Me is so happy she is writing this review!!!! I have been looking for a CR that lives up to its first name. Most CRs I find in the Bay Area are too heavy on the icing/sugar and too light on the cinnamon. In this case, Cinnamon is the middle name, but it should really be the first!!! This is it folks, this is what a Cinnamon Roll should be (to me, anyway). You can taste the cinnamon, it's not overburdened by sugar. The sourdough is chewy, but still soft, and I think I detect a hint of lemon in the icing. The icing is judiciously applied, meaning there is enough there to satisfy a sweet tooth, but not too much that I needed to scrape any off to taste the cinnamon. Dare I call it a Destination Cinnamon Roll? All I know is, next time my brother comes down to the Bay Area, I will be requesting said SCR! P.S. I have also tried their bread, which he has shared in the past, and that is also delicious!!! Volcano is tucked away, but is such a cute little town. If you are staying ANYWHERE in the area, get thee to Baked In Amador! (Or work a trade with a local!)

The staff was extremely rude, particularly the woman with the reddish-blonde/yellowish hair. We weren't greeted when we walked in. My mom and daughter were looking at the quart menu and "oohing and ahhing" over the flavors when we were abruptly asked, "Are you buying a quart or scoops?" My dad politely asked her to repeat herself, and she responded, "DO YOU WANT A QUART OR SCOOPS?" When we said we wanted scoops, she bluntly replied, "Then you're looking at the wrong menu. This is the menu for scoops." We were the only customers in the shop, yet we were repeatedly rushed with, "What would you like? What would you like?" I eventually had to tell her that we simply needed a moment to decide. When I ordered a junior scoop of cookies and cream in a cup, she snapped, "In a cup or a cone?!" even though I had just said "in a cup." Before I could even finish my order, she was already asking, "What else? What else can we get for you?" The entire interaction felt unnecessarily pushy and rude. The funniest part? Her attitude completely changed once she noticed my incredibly kind father had still left a tip. Suddenly, we got a smile and a "thank you." The ice cream itself was just okay, but the service was what really ruined the experience. This is a place my family and I have driven past for years on our way to our cabin, and we were excited to finally stop. Unfortunately, we won't be back. If you're serving people who are likely passing through, a simple greeting, a little patience, and basic courtesy would go a long way.

Inside you will find things and stuff of all sorts from picture frames to toiletries to groceries. The atmosphere is so nostalgic with lots of character... I love it. It is a historic general store and it was pretty cool. The Country Store is also the town's Visitor's Center. It boasts of the longest-running general store in California having been in continuous use since 1852. Wow, that's an amazing record. The store fits in perfectly in the quirky town of Volcano. The sweet lady behind the counter thanked us for stopping by. There was only one thing I was disappointed about... that we did not order food here (we had lunch at the St George Hotel). I heard that the owner serves one mean cheeseburger (grilled in wood burning stone oven). Can't wait to come back and try! Review #1905

We started off with the fried ravioli; the quantity was more than anticipated, the flavor was expected. The marinara was cold, which was unexpected but had good flavor. We got the prime rib dip sandwich. The meat was well-seasoned/flavorful. I appreciated the au jus as well. Diane recommended the onion rings which I thought were GREAT! My husband thought they were good, but would've given bonus points for using sweet onion. And now to the Ribeye- I honestly can't remember the last time I had such a buttery, melt-in-your mouth cut of meat. The mashed potatoes were fine- kinda plain. The ribeye was well worth the price. A similar ribeye in the valley would EASILY cost $15-20 more. The restaurant was clean. The staff were friendly, especially our server. Eating outside may have been preferable on this occasion as there was a large party with several small children well past their expiration. All the hard surfaces made for quite a bit of echoes from the kiddos who were very excitable. Thanks to Plate 88 for the yummy food. We'll definitely be back.

I've gotten a bakery snack at the counter before and everything was fine there. But this latest visit I found myself starving and decided to have a quick sit down lunch inside the cafe. As expected the staff were incredibly welcoming. The dining room was very clean. My order was taken quickly and food arrived with very little wait. Three stars there. The food, though... Oof. I had a California Grilled Cheese. Bacon, avocado, cheese, tomato on sourdough and a side of fries. The sandwich didn't taste great, something seemed off about the cheese. The fries were ok, a little dry. I only ate about a quarter of the sandwich. It was no surprise that I had an upset stomach a short time later. The other thing I didn't like about the cafe was how dark and depressing it was. While I appreciate the cleanliness, the decor made me feel kind of sad. The menu overall offers a variety of breakfast items, lots of hamburgers, and a variety of other dishes. Nothing exciting and about what you would expect. Jackson Rancheria puts so much pride into everything else and it's a little sad to see the food quality be neglected.
