The Grove Cafe

1 month ago

Dropped into this hidden gem and was so glad I did! Nestled inside the RCU building off Cleveland its very convenient. I was greeted by at least 3 kind and friendly employees. I was told about the free tea and coffee from 9 am to 2 pm! I had a bagel and cream cheese for only $3! The salads looked so good I grabbed one of those to go as well! Large portion, fresh, and delicious! Perfect spot for a meeting too! read more

The Grove is located inside Redwood Credit Union HQ. Orders are placed at computer kiosks inside the cafe. Food is very reasonably priced and made to order by the cooks. Mom & I split a cheeseburger, which was tasty and well-executed. Servers were friendly and helpful. The only thing I cannot recommend is the drip coffee--it was truly awful (weak and probably Robusta aka Folgers). As a former Peet's Coffee employee, good coffee is a must. No espresso drinks on menu. read more

I was delightfully surprised. Their food is good, portion sizes for me are just right (not too small but not too big) and they have regular specials but also have permanent items that are always available. It's not frilly or fussy which I really like and the staff is very professional and kind (looking at you Jose and Cristina!). They have online ordering for a lot of items but do plan ahead because they close at 2pm. Also cashless. read more

What a great find! As someone other than a RCU employee, this was a great oasis in the food market. Located inside the RCU headquarters on Cleveland Ave, you will find a quiet cafe that serves up breakfast and lunch. You order at a kiosk and wait for your order. Simple...but the food is delicious! Had their Shrimp Fajita salad, blt with homemade chips and a clam chowder. The shrimp salad was cooked well with a concoction of sautéed onions and peppers...awesome. The blt hit the spot and clam chowder good, especially after a bit more pepper. Will definitely come again if in the area and added benefit is there's lots of parking and all handicap accessible. read more

My first visit here- came with a few friends to check out this somewhat new cafe. The fact that it is located inside of a business building reminds me a bit of when Chloe's was in the Sutter Health offices. The food did not compare to Chloe's yet is was good. I had a delicious, healthy and fresh quinoa salad. My one disappointment is that there were no sandwiches that are vegetarian- there was only a salad and veggie chili on the menu. I like the concept of ordering & paying via a computer & paying when you first walk in- makes for a quicker process when limited to a work lunch hour. For an intimate and pampered lunch, this is not the spot. I appreciated the this cafe was quite clean. The prices are also very reasonable. I plan to return when I'm on a lunch hour from work. You can also order online- another bonus for working people. read more

Inside Redwood Credit Union, this feels like you're able to dine inside a subsidized employee cafeteria. The food is fresh and very tasty and the prices are unbeatable. Quick and convenient ordering via a kiosk (or person if you prefer!) and my 5 yo son loves the chicken teriyaki - has a great amount of veggies on it. Yay for this great place! You can also buy to go dinners. I haven't tried that yet but I've heard they are very good and great value also. read more

I'm dropping a star from 5 to 4. On Friday, I went to Grove Cafe to try their breakfast fritter. It was 8:30 am. There was a lady standing outside "guarding" the door to make sure only employees who worked at the Redwood Credit Union building were let in. FYI, there are other businesses located inside as well. I said I was here to eat breakfast at the Grove Cafe. She said the restaurant for for employees that work here. Then I showed her a picture I took of the "A" frame sign at the door of the restaurant that stated "Now open to the public". Breakfast: Monday through Friday 8:30 - 10:00. Lunch: 11:00 - 2:00 I showed her the picture and she said I couldn't go in until 9:00 am when the building is open to the public. She said she would speak with the restaurant about the sign. She wasn't very nice during our conversation. I realize she doesn't work for Grove Cafe, but still.... So I left and went somewhere else for breakfast. I will return for lunch again at a future date. read more

Quite possibly the coolest lunch place in Santa Rosa. It's basically an upscale cafeteria with an open kitchen, great daily menu choices, and wonderfully fresh, tasty ingredients combined, prepared, and presented quickly and deliciously. (Whatever the "world" bowl of the day is, try it!) Touch-screen ordering terminals and big screens that show when your numbered order is ready for you to pick up.

On most recent visit we had their Garden Salad and Chicken Parmigiana. Both the salad and the pasta were great! We loved the use of the three-bean salad in the Garden Salad. The Chicken parm was fresh, crispy, and the sauce was wonderfully tangy and fresh tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the friendly service. We plan on making an effort to visit more often! Previous review: Only been by here a few times, as it is at the farthest end of town from where I live... That said, every time I have come, I have had great food and service. The fresh wood-oven pizzas are tasty - it is hard to beat a real wood-oven pizza. I have to say their smashburger is one of the best I have had (fries are pretty solid too!). They have a full bar, and good selection of beers and wines - so there is something for nearly everyone here. They get the basics here right - and the overall experience is pretty solid.

We also tried the cheese sticks, which were just okay. The breading was pretty thick, and the marinara was chunky--almost more like a salsa than a traditional marinara.

I just ordered D's classic burger, my brother ordered Mel's magic burger and Cajun fries with a vanilla shake. My burger was delicious! The Cajun fries were so good too! Definitely would order again.

The Grove Cafe offers fantastic breakfast and lunch options, from "grab n go" items to "made to order" items. All of which I have enjoyed each of them thoroughly. Friendly staff, fast service, and clean environment always. The Eggs benedict is a staple "go to" for the morning, and the fajita salad for lunch. Friendly staff, great pricing, atmosphere, and convenience all bundled into one! read more

Love this spot! The food is always fresh and tasty, and some of the portions are big enough to share (bonus points for that!). But honestly, it's the staff that makes the experience--they're super friendly and accommodating, which keeps me coming back read more

You have to check in with the receptionist, pay in advance, and obtain lunch tickets. As we entered the café on this Thursday, we noticed the place was nearly full. There was a lady dining by herself and the servers asked her if she wouldn't mind some company. She ended up being the sweetest lady and we had a wonderful time chatting with her throughout our lunch. They offer two main entrees each week plus there is also the option of getting a large soup and salad if you want to skip the main entrée. We ordered: Fried chicken sandwich and the mushroom shepherd's pie. We had a choice of soup or salad and a drink. Their lunches have always been outstanding. The chicken sandwich had a coleslaw-like mixture on top of the chicken and it all came on a brioche bun. The meat was not dry at all. My shepherd's pie was amazing. Lots of lentils and mushroom with a parmesan mashed potato topping. Totally awesome meals. The servers are incredibly sweet and they refill drinks and take away your dishes as you finish. Even though the room was filled with diners, the volunteer servers make you feel like they are there for you and only you. Thank you! Lunch is served 11:30-1:30. $10 for members/$12 for non-members. Brunch is served on Fridays at the same time. Menu changes weekly.

For example, I had ordered a side of fries to go with my chicken sandwich. They were the only thing to hit the table for a good ten minutes while we waited for the other food to come out. The southwest chicken sandwich was substantial. Big to hold and to eat. It was, however, a little dry and sadly under seasoned. The sauce couldn't boost the flavor. The setting is good, a bit dated maybe, but overall okay. It's not noisy, so we as a table of five, could easily engage with each other. I don't know - I mean maybe from the other reviews that were raving about the food and the service, I did expect "amazing and delicious." We got, just okay and mostly adequate. I gave three stars because really, it was just okay. There's potential to show more care and attention for each guest and in each dish - or table set - leaving the kitchen. Others seemed to have received it. It was missing for us.
