This is my absolute favorite bakery. Great Gluten free sweets and savory. Amazing hot drinks. And my body feels good after eating these high quality treats. Highly recommend.
This place is awful when it comes to service and timing. We come here all the time bc they serve gluten free and I have never been here when they didn’t scree up our order. It has taken 45 minutes to get a slice of cheese pizza on a slow day. We’ve waited an hour for dinner while people come and go after us, only to find out they forgot our order. I regret coming here every time. They just told us it would be 15 minutes for our order or 2 slices of regular (not gf) pizza and it’s been 40 min. We’re done. Even though pizza is good, it’s not worth the wait.
I dropped in for a quick Burger before a local HS sporting event. It was around 6:30 PM, so they were fairly busy. I ordered a basic bacon-cheese burger & fries, with a gluten-free bun, which made the burger. The burger was good, if a bit dry, but tasty. The fries were overcooked for my taste, but all in all, it was a good quick drop-in.
We had a wonderful dinner here when we stayed a night in Grass Valley. The food was absolutely delicious (Super fresh seafood too!) and the servers were really great, especially catering to gluten-free options. Will definitely visit again when we are in town next!!

From a Covid perspective, safest market we've been to. Masks are strictly enforced, no arguments. 40 folks maximum, so yeah, there's about a 5-minute wait. Same great selection, lots of organic / vegan / gluten-free choices, but also excellent beef, pork, seafood and poultry. Also staples and prepared food available. Can't miss!
Yummy selection of pastries, both gluten free, regular and organic. Tons of coffee flavors and drinks with your choice of cold, hot, blended, iced.....A nice neighborhood atmosphere also!
Dog friendly, huge menu, friendly employees.
We sat outside on their huge patio. They brought water out for our dog.
I ordered my favorite, the croissant club sandwich. It was chock full of perfectly shaved turkey, thick crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato (red and full of flavored, not those anemic tomatoes with zero flavor), and the Goldie Locks amount of mayo. I ordered my sandwich with a side order of sweet potato fries which were delightfully cooked to perfection, creamy on the inside and crisp on the outside.
My cousin had the reuben on gluten free bread. I can't go into the same detail as I did in my description above, but I will tell you my cousin ate the entire sandwich. She was spoiled for choice when ordering due to the gluten free option. She had not had a Reuben sandwich in, forever, and was not disappointed with the choice she made. She ate the entire thing!
As a treat, my husband and I hit up SPC every other month or so for brunch. We get there early-ish and sit at the bar. My usual is either the lobster or mushroom Benedict with a side of fruit (worth the upcharge IMO) and the "green drink" while my hubby prefers the chorizo Benedict and a red beer.
The music is usually good, as is the service. The menu offers a wide variety of entrees made with fresh ingredients. I have to avoid gluten and wish they had a bread substitute available so I could have their Olallieberry French toast (I avoid the Benedict's English muffin). The employees appear to be happy here, which is refreshing. Fun mimosa flavors, a coffee bar, and fresh-squeezed juice options available. It was $70 for the both of us (including tip), but like I said - it's a treat and we want to support this awesome business! ☕ 🍳

I would love to leave a glowing review, but I can’t in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone has any kind of food allergy or sensitivity. I have been here twice recently with different family members, and it’s been really disappointing. While the food is tasty for me, my family who have severe gluten intolerance had a very different experience. For one, they have exactly ONE item on the menu they deem gluten-free… so okay, no big deal, this is the item they order. Absolutely no alternatives are offered or suggested - just oh you’re gluten-free? You can get this one dish. But okay, we’re not that picky.
I have just learned that on trip one, my family heard them openly mocking that something gluten-free was ordered, overheard from the kitchen. Very rude and unprofessional. I understand that not everyone who claims to have a problem with gluten may have an actual issue, but that’s not for restaurant staff to speculate on. It made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere for my family member.
On the second visit, it was much worse. Same treatment as far as one dish only… made it very clear to the waiter that they can’t have gluten, and he obviously understood and recommended the same thing as before. When we received the dish, however, it was presented with fried rice and an egg roll… both very clearly not gluten-free. We flag the waiter down, and enquire just in case, and he tells us “oh yeah, those are not safe” and… walks away??? It’s on the same plate. No offer to comp, replace, anything… just a “yeah don’t eat that I guess” sort of attitude. It’s worth mentioning that this was plated entirely differently than the other visit too… on visit one, they put a side of regular steamed white rice, and no roll.
So roughly half the plate my guest could not eat this time. Fortunately, she only has a moderate gluten sensitivity and was able to work around it, though she admitted it didn’t taste very good. Guest one wasn’t crazy about the dish, either. Had it been my father eating there, and had this been presented to him and he’d eaten any of it, he would have been throwing up for hours after, because his issues with it are far more severe.
They do not take food sensitivities or allergies at all seriously here, and it’s very sad to see. It is otherwise a nice restaurant and we had previously enjoyed it. A year ago, they did have more options my family could enjoy, and they were excited about eating there again. The lack of consideration will force us to dine elsewhere.
We were in town for a just a few days and went to Cake every day!!! We loved the gluten free Morning Muffin so much we kept going back! Christine, the owner, was fabulous and everything we got was delicious...(the Carrot Ginger soup, bran muffin, quiche, Morning muffin, lavender latte and the baguette with sea salt butter were some of our favs!!) Definitely stop at Cake if you are in Grass Valley!
It was a shock to find out I was gluten sensitive as an adult. So going to an Italian restaurant doesn't sound like a smart choice for someone like me. However, Sergio's Caffe has filet mignon with mashed potatoes and veggies on their menu. It is a tasty meal. They have fish dishes, salads, and other possible choices for people with food sensitivities. That is why I continue to go back.
I get a hankering from a sandwich every now and then and when I do I come to Afternoon Deli. They have many amazing options, but I just get a deli turkey sandwich on gluten-free bread toasted with a bag of chips and it's so damn good. First of all, most GF bread sucks. Theirs does not. The quality of ingredients is apparent, which I also appreciate very much. It's not much to write home about from an ambiance stand-point but I don't care and find it a little charming. The folks who run it are present and engaged—you can feel the love in the food.
These guys have the best gluten free pizza in Grass Valley. The garlic chicken bacon artichoke pizza pairs well with the mediterranean salad. It is nice to take it home to bake, eat it hot out of the oven with a side salad and a glass of wine.
Great Thai experience...many many gluten free options, including Pad Thai! Wait staff are very helpful, friendly and available for service. Highly recommend...looking forward to returning soon. :)
We were lucky to get a table. The food was excellent and there are plenty of gluten free options. The salmon risotto was perfect and the lasagna had meat chunks, like Nonna used to make it. We will be back!
We really enjoy this restaurant. We always experience great service, and if I was less terrible with names, I would specifically point out the guy who serves us most often in the bar by name (I think he's a manager? Or bar manager?). He's really great. The food is always delicious. I love that they carry real gluten free beer (not just gluten removed, which they also have) and do a great job of making sure a GF order is as clean as possible in a non GF kitchen. Highly recommend.
A wonderful store, with a great selection, even including various gluten free items. The only reason I’m taking a star away is because they move their items around so often finding one’s favorites is more difficult than it needs to be.
Log cabin picnic like ambiance, firestove was nice. Small place. Food i had was good, group liked theirs. Please add gluten free buns and it'll be accommodating to all!
Great business run by an extraordinary woman!! Enjoy pizza with flavors and combinations I guarantee you have never had before. There are gluten free options and dairy free as well.
Oh and if possible try the bread with the garlic herb butter! Yummmm.
Not just another coffee shop! Visited today..August 16..see receipt.
I used to go here years ago after swim practice...wow this place has grown! They have a huge selection of burritos..sandwiches..wraps and bakery items.
I had the Americano coffee with a gluten free cookie to go. Coffee was tasty and the cookie was so moist!
They have plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating.
This place is tucked away on Maltman drive yet the locals know a good place to have some delicious food ( thus always busy). Quick service and friendly employees (thanks Penny for a great attitude!)
I would recommend meeting your friends here since it is spacious inside!
