South Pine Cafe-Grass Valley

Wow! What an experience! Excellent food. We went for breakfast as we were just passing thru Grass Valley but would go again in a heartbeat. I can't remember what I ordered and I would still go back because it was exceptional. My hunch is you need to anticipate a short wait on weekends though, but it's worth it! As Yogi Berra once said, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!"

I'm blown away a place this good is in our little town.

I really only have one complaint and that is the wait time can get long. But, it's worth the wait. BEST breakfast ever!! Everything I've had has been good. Great coffee. Amazing fresh juices. Good portions. Good service.

If you head here looking for great food, you won't be disappointed! While the breakfasts are a little pricier than some other places you might find, the food quality is worth it, and the service is great.

Unfortunately, I have to cut a star. Sitting near the kitchen all morning, it was not uncommon to hear the odd curse word come from the kitchen staff. I'm used to language of that sort, but PLEASE know that you can easily be heard by your patrons! A family sitting in our place would not have been pleased.

You'd expect a classic diner experience but the food is amazing.

If I could give them six stars I would. Amazing food that is consistently good, reasonable prices and great service. If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be their potato pancakes. Highly recommend!

South Pine has been my favorite brunch place for years! Their eggs Benedict is phenomenal! I love their weekly specials and their newly formatted/refreshed menu! The service is typically quick even when their slammed, but expect a wait during peak brunch time on Saturdays and Sunday. The food is always great and worth any wait!

I went to South Pine Cafe today for the first time after hearing how great the food was and had the worst experience I think I have ever had in a restaurant. My boyfriend and I sat and waited for our food for over an hour! Our food never came. Then our waitress, who never checked on us, came to inform us that the kitchen had lost our ticket. She apologized, however, did nothing to address the situation to make it right. No manager came over to talk to us or offer for our meal to be comped. We ended up just walking out. Working in customer service for many years, I know their job is to make it right for their customers and yet, this was not done. We will not return. Such a shame.

We are locals and we love this place, my extended family was in town for my brothers wedding this weekend and of course we all ate at south pine cafe...twice, Saturday and Sunday. Everyone loved the atmosphere and food. The manager was very attentive, the staff was great and we had another great experience at south pine cafe! Thanks for being so awesome...such a reliable place for us to bring our family to.

One of my favorite places to eat when I visit. The food is great, I(personally love the south pine scramble) the mimosas are fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. The staff are so nice and attentive. If you visit Grass Valley check this spot out, because it's one of the best.
