We tried the cold brew and hot americano, both of which had very good flavor. They sell some pastries and a couple food options, but we did not have any of these this time. I'd def recommend this place for a more local coffee shop vibe over the touristy coffee spots a couple miles north in town.

Great coffee, great vibes, great service! Would definitely come here more often if I lived closer!read more

My friend and I stopped in here after a hike to get some caffeine. I love me a dirty chai and when…read moreI saw the plethora of options and the fact that they call themselves a chai house, I was excited! My friend ordered a hot dirty chai and I got the iced. They were very busy, given the holiday weekend so it took almost 15 minutes by the way. When they finally called the drinks out, they had only made mine a dirty chai, so they had to add espresso to hers. Fine. I was excited to drink it but both my friend and I took a sip and made the same exact disgusted face. There was nothing redeeming about the drink, and it tasted like chalk. The stars for this place were for the scone, which was delicious. That said, the chai was awful and I wouldn't recommend.

what a cute VIBE! oh my god I walked in and immediately said "oh this coffee is about to be soo…read moregood" and I do love being right. while I didn't get much this stop, the black iced coffee I had was heavenly. You can tell they really care about the coffee they procure and brew. there was some amazing looking pastries and breakfast sandwiches that I'm definitely gonna have to give a try my next time in. absolutely obsessed with the abundance of burlap sacks full of coffee beans showering the shop and personally loved that they had an entire list of all the beans available for purchase including region and flavour profiles. Caroline's a definitely going to be one of my top coffee spots from now on!

When looking for an afternoon coffee I try to avoid the big chain coffee places like Starbucks,…read moreDutch Bros, etc and head for more locally based independent coffee shops. That isn't often easy as many close in the early afternoon, usually not open after 3pm. I was delighted to find Caroline's open to 5:30. YES! It's a delightful and charming shop off the beaten trail of touristy places in downtown Grass Valley. The array of coffee products was very satisfying and they highlighted a special Pistachio Latte! Sounded good so we got it, a 16oz for the afternoon 'pick-me-up'. A bit on the sweet side it nonetheless hit the spot for a coffee. They have a wide array of tea options too. The service was friendly and very good. The coffee came to the red pickup counter in good time. There are lots of cozy cafe type seating both inside and out. The choice of muffins, baked goods, or other snacks were slim just because it was late, but undoubtedly good too. If in Grass Valley, try it.

It's difficult to write anything negative about this place, because we had a really nice meal here…read more The menu is small but has a good variety, we got two pizzas and a salad (two adults and a kid), two sodas and water. Everything tasted excellent, the service was good, the location feels vibrant and modern, and is very family friendly. But... how on earth do they charge $100 for a meal for two and a half people. A meal you order at the counter. Afterwards, you are expected to bus your own table. Even if it is good. $100 is just crazy!!!

Very poor experience this morning. I had my dog with me - ordered latte and a berry croissant…read more Overpriced ($16!), but wanted to support a local business. All was going fine, and we were happily bopping to the music while my pastry was being heated, but my pup yelped at a clearly non-dog person and the manager (?) came out screaming at me "THAT DOG CANNOT BE IN HERE!!" I am happy to avoid businesses with anti-dog policies if they are posted (was not). And, by law, a business has to ask you if it's a service animal before asking you to leave. Regardless, I would have been happy to leave with my already purchased product, but the woman kept screaming while I was waiting for them to hand me my pastry. I was so embarrassed and angry with her attitude, I spilled my coffee on the sidewalk outside as I was trying to get away from her. There are service-oriented ways to address this type of situation - yelling at your customers is not one. Especially followed by a snide "have the day you deserve" as I was leaving. I will never return and will discourage others. Ftr, went to Flour Garden and after hearing the story, they gave me a discount on my replacement latte. The pastry sucked, by the way - overdone on the outside, claggy on the inside and no flavor.

There was a decent size amount of people in the cafe, but what hit me right away was the smell of bacon. Ohhhhhh! It was divine! Was greeted immediately upon entering and was helped with my order--a 16oz mocha--right away. It gave me a minute to look at the food and other pastries available. Everything looked fresh and homemade. Take note that there were a lot of gluten free options here which is wonderful news for anyone having to watch their diet. My coffee was warm and not chalky like some mochas can be. I wish I could have stayed and sat for a spell, but I had to get on the road. Looking forward to making time for breakfast next time I am up in the area.

What a great place in Grass Valley! Visited August 16th..see receipt…read more This coffee place is on Maltman Drive in a very small shopping area. I used to go here for years after swim practice...wow it has grown! I ordered an Americano and a gluten free cookie to go. I was surprised to see such a large selection of breakfast items. They also have another area for their burritos ( looked really big!) I am not a big eater so i opted for a cookie..soft and delicious!.I forgot how big it is inside..good place to meet friends! Self serve coffee also available. Some outdoor seating also available. Cutely decorated with friendly employees ( thanks Penny!). Definitely will be back to try one of those burritos! Clean inside!

The class instructor recommended this coffee shop to us and I'm glad I took his direction because the drinks and food at The Pour Choice were top notch and reasonably priced. We actually ended up eating here twice within 2 days because we loved it so much! In addition to the food/drinks, the ambience here is amazing as well. They have a second floor balcony that you can go eat or enjoy your beverages on. Felt pretty epic being up there :-) I'm heading back to Auburn tomorrow where I will be stopping in for another visit :-)

The price point is on the higher side but the quality is excellent.

My Dad lives in Grass Valley and every time I come up from the Bay Area this is where I eat…read more Now, caveat, he's in his 70s and thinks a $19 sandwich with housemade meats on craft bread is absolutely outrageous, he would be just as happy eating at Subway. There's nothing wrong with his opinion, I don't eat that garbage, but if you can't tell or don't care about quality (yes, I'm being snarky, but seriously, if you're going to complain you have options...) Anyhow, this is where I come to eat, I always pay, and he complains about the price of the sandwich (I paid for) while he eats all of his sandwich and then finishes mine- it is also a lot of food, usually two meals for me, but I'm not a voracious eater. If you're still here after my rant, the food here is quality, you're going to pay more, you're going to wait for it to be prepared, because its not some cafeteria conveyer belt sandwich- it's crafted. The shop is very small, ambiance is- small meat counter, the soda machine has been broken as long as I've been coming, there's no indoor dining. I know, I'm not selling it. BUT Outside you have outdoor tables under the trees, there are birds singing, it feels completely Nevada City, much preferred to eating inside. Typically I order the Reuben and I think that's their best sandwich, but I've also tried the Roast Beef, Italian Ham, and Turkey. I know I mentioned their soda machine is broken, but they have plenty of sodas in a cooler as well as a few very good sides- I'm partial to the Dijon potato salad. So final thoughts- cheapskates with broken tastebuds stay home, let the real ones eat.
