What People Are Saying
from Google"My go to hangout. Excellent teas, coffees, solid beer & hard kombucha. Criminally underrated food- probably the best burger I’ve had in Nevada County. Between 3-6 the happy hour deal gets you a beer, burger and big salad for $20. Kind extremely friendly staff. 11/10 stars"
"They have gluten free bread! Two types, a square one for sandwiches and a bun for hamburgers. Plus they had some gluten free bakery products that I didn't try. The food was good :)"
"Adorable and classic Nevada City Vibe right in the heart of downtown. I had the turkey sandwich with fig preserves and aioli, big and delicious and it comes with a salad. Definitely worth it! I’d come back for sure."
"Definitely the best coffee in Nevada City. The baristas actually care about the coffee and it show. Not just late art, timed shots and appropriately steamed milk. I also really enjoyed their pastries!"
"Great place on the Main Street in adorable downtown Nevada City. Solid flat white and delicious avocado toast — I’m a sucker for toasts with fresh green toppings. Quiet spot for breakfast and filled with laptops and quiet conversation for work hours. Also fun and interesting art all around."
