South Pine Cafe-Grass Valley

Visited with my friends November 21st. It is located in downtown Grass Valley. This place is Always busy! I had to see the dentist in a bit so just had an egg and toast. It was good! Waitresses are hustling! My friends stayed longer as I had to get to my appointment and they were being entertained by their two kids! It's a very popular spot with a funky but cool atmosphere. Everyone seemed happy and enjoying their food! Note: they get really busy and you need to sign in when you get there. Bring your patience when waiting for your food! They have bar seating as well. I know they have beer and wine but don't know if they have a full bar.

During our winter family trip, we stopped by South Pine Cafe in Grass Valley, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the whole getaway! Stepping inside from the chilly weather felt like entering a cozy haven—warm, inviting atmosphere with that perfect small-town charm that instantly puts everyone at ease. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, even during a busy rush, making our whole family feel welcomed and well taken care of. The food? Absolutely outstanding! Their breakfast menu is creative and delicious, with fresh, high-quality ingredients shining through in every dish. We loved the hearty classics done right—perfectly cooked eggs, flavorful sides, and those standout specialties that go beyond the usual (think generous portions and spot-on seasoning). Even the pic

We visited with a group of friends and had such a great time. The restaurant had a great variety of options - mostly American and some Mexican, Asian, and vegetarian options. They offer fresh juices, coffee options, and other drinks as well. There was beautiful artwork on the walls for sale, a great mix of 80's music playing in the background, and attentive staff.

We came here on our way to Nevada City. The food was very good. I got the lobster eggs benedict, my kids got the pancakes and waffles, and my husband got an All-American type breakfast. The orange juice tasted fresh squeezed and the lattes were very tasty. The potatoes that come with the breakfasts weren't that fantastic... It was like they were boiled and there was a half-hearted attempt to grill them possibly. However everything else was great. They even have homemade ketchup. Not sure if they do reservations, but we waited quite some time on a Saturday morning to get in, but we weren't in a hurry so it was fine.

Packed. Long wait. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My dish was a little disappointing as my toast was burnt....it was sourdough bread with avocado and tomato and eggs. Couldn't cut through toast. But the rest was good. Great fresh squeezed grapefruit juice but price was $7.95 a glass 🤯
