A real gem! Great food, cute atmosphere, great service! If you're in Minden check them out!

My wife and I have been coming here for the last seven or eight years as we antique through the area. The smoothies are amazing and the food is always wonderful. I love their Thai peanut wrap and my wife often gets either a K2 or grilled beef and Brie sandwiches. We're here today at 1:30 PM and the place is almost full. Clearly a popular local spot. Ambience is nice and they also have seating outside.

Grilled veggies and cheese sandwich, house salad, and curry potato soup.

Breanne C.

Yummy food! I ordered the sandwich, salad, soup combo. Grateful for a vegetarian option! The house made salad dressing, sandwich with a few different cheeses/ grilled veggie with fresh bread, and curry sweet potato soup were all delicious. My oldest daughter ordered a smoothie and they even gave us the rest of the smoothie from the blender that wouldn't fit in her cup for my youngest to snack on before the meal came. The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant decorated nicely. Service was very friendly and food came out quickly. They had some coloring pages and crayons which I always appreciate. I'll definitely be going back

This place has consistently won Carson Valley "Best of" awards over and over again for a reason...! This is one of my top, most-favorite places to eat lunch, and that's saying a lot due to the frequency I eat out and the variety of restaurants I experience on my business travels! I really don't think there's a bad choice you can make here, but I'll tell you about a few of my favorites. First off, their tomato bisque is what I think of and crave when I think of tomato soup and I often begin a meal with a cup of this thick and delicious goodness! Their iced tea is very floral and succulent which is also a regular for me to order with every meal. My top favorite sandwiches are (in no particular order) The Marcello (pictured) that is a sourdough panini pressed, Garlic Aioli, Havarti cheese, Turkey, Pesto, Artichoke Hearts, Roasted Tomatoes & Onion caramelized in butter, sherry and sugar served melty, gooey, warm and oh so delicious...! My next favorite is called "The Sandwich" which is the same as above, minus the artichoke and pesto. Iron Mike made as a wrap is an interesting sandwich and I felt uncertain how it might taste, but went for it several years back and wow!!! What an amazing combination of flavors...! Made either on wheat bread or in a wrap with peanut butter, avocado, havarti, cucumber, sunflower seeds, carrot, sprouts, spring mix, red onion, and a splash of their famous Marionberry vinaigrette; it's to die for...! I always get extra dressing to ensure some is in every bite...! Last but not least, their tuna is a step above how others prepare it. I'm not sure what the secret ingredient(s) are, but it's top-notch on either a sandwich or, like I usually order it, as just a scoop or two on top of their Caesar salad. The servers are all friendly and you are greeted with a smile each time you walk through the door! It's a smaller restaurant and often times folks are waiting outside for a table. The hours are not too standard; I recommend showing up before 2pm. The decor is nice, boasting art and oddities that the owners have collected over the years. Very warm and inviting. If you're in Gardnerville for lunch during the week, ask yourself if you want the best. If you do, here's your spot!

Delicious. I ordered a chai the soup, salad and half panini. Every bite melted in my mouth. The service was amazing and such a sweet little place. My belly is very happy

Craig H.

Neat little place that is only open for lunch. We waited quite awhile to be served (close to 1/2 hour)...seems like they prioritize the call-in orders over their on-site customers. I ordered the K2 and it really did not work for me. Sounded good on the menu: Turkey, brie, pear, caramelized onion, garlic aioli and black currant chutney, But, there were too many flavor profiles that did not meld well. That being said, give them a shot, based on the other reviews your experience may be different.

OMG! Who would have thought that peanut butter would be so good on a veggie sandwich??? Obviously, they know!!! lol

Dean F.

Wow! What a great little restaurant. If you're ever down there, check it out! Especially now with all of the major road construction in Gardnerville. All of the businesses down there can use your business!!! I had a half Iron Mike Sandwich and the Curry Sweet Potato Soup. Amazing! Who would have thought that peanut butter on a veggie sandwich would taste so good? Super friendly service and they really appreciate the business

I felt like I was on a quest to find Cafe Girasole. I pulled up the Yelp app to try to find something in the area of which was unfamiliar to me. I found Cafe Girasole's menu to have a variety of Panini's which grabbed my attention since I was on a time constraint. To actually find the place, after placing it in my phone with driving directions felt like a mission impossible. I kept getting directed to the wrong side of the street and was an area under construction so I think I looped it a good 2-3 times then realized it was on the opposite side of the street. I parked on the side since I was just thankful to find the place. As soon as I walked in I was colliding with wait staff trying to figure out how to order to go and was guided to a small line of people at a window. I placed my order of Cheese Louise- which had Turkey, Pesto, Provolone. I was told the order will be brought to me when it's ready. I found some seating by the door and just took a breather from a busy Friday workday. As I took in my surroundings I found this place to remind me of something out of a Hallmark movie (I forget if this is one of the towns in which there was an actual Christmas movie filmed). But the guests seated at tables were sitting and visiting as if there was all the time in the world which I found to be refreshing. I was in a hurry myself so having had waited 20 minutes for a sandwich to go was puzzling. But the sandwich was tasty, it costs approximately $18 with a drink and tip. But being in this area reminded me of how cute they make it for the holidays. I think this place is great if you have extra time to hang and wait around but as for someone that was in a hurry that was not the case.

Brandi H.

I would give this cafe 10 stars if I could! Lovely place with excellent food. Great service and quality food. I highly recommend you try this cafe for lunch if you are in the area. I had the Tuscan wrap with salad and it was delicious!

I'm visiting this town of Gardnerville, NV from Los Angeles and this place was highly recommended by the locals. So, I decided to check it out. They have a nice combo meal of half sandwich, soup and salad. The salad was very fresh and the house dressing was a type of balsamic vinaigirette with a berry flavoring. It was very tasty. The soup of the day, I tried the tomato bisque. I thought it was a little bit salty, but still much enjoyable. And, for the sandwich, I got the tuna melt. I thought the sandwich was very good! It was very nicely seasoned, with the right amount of mayonnaise and balanced flavoring. The sandwich is like a grilled panini. It was very tasty! I will highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting this area. I would imagine with the amount of patrons that they have, they could use another waitress to keep up with the rush and quality service. Good job, Cafe Girasole! I look forward to visit again whenever I come to town. read more

My all-time favorite lunch place! I love a restaurant that has a menu that offers unique dishes. When I go, I have a difficult time ordering because everything is delicious. I know I can't get these items at any other restaurant, so that makes me want everything. They do get very busy, so if you are in a hurry during the lunch rush, I suggest you call in an order to go. Even during the rush, service is excellent. Waitresses check in on you and make sure drinks are full, etc. I just wish they were open on weekends. read more

Their tomato soup is the best I've ever had. Been here many times and the staff is always polite and fast. The place itself is clean and nice. My only complaint is the hours.

Holy McMoly! We're in town for one day, and were told that we'd like this little place. Like doesn't even start to cover it! Everything is fresh, delicious, reasonably priced, and served with a smile. My Iron Mike sandwich was served on a wholesome whole wheat, and at almost two inches tall contained peanut butter, thinly-sliced red onion, julienned carrots, cucumber, sprouts, mixed greens, Havarti cheese, and perfectly ripened avocado. It was a wonderful combination of guilt-free flavors, and was enhanced by the refreshing cucumber-lemon infused water. If you're anywhere close by, stop in. If you have to make this charming little restaurant a destination, stop in! You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is the best in town. I have been eating here for lunch off and on for a couple of years and the best thing about it, is there food is always spot on. The staff is always very friendly, they make it a great place to be. Now, sometimes when I'm there I over here some people asking about "gluten free options" I'm here to tell you that they do have them.... But, if you think they are a 100% so called " GLUTEN FREE" you are at the wrong place!!!! They are not a VEGAN CAFE!!! So if you are 100% "GLUTEN FREE" Go eat somewhere else!

Went in today for lunch after a long covid time away. A table was quickly cleared for me and my server quickly came to take my order: the Sweetwater Wrap and an ice tea. I'm a carnivore, but this wrap of roasted veggies, feta, with a roasted red pepper sauce was to die for. The accompanying salad was fresh but, for me, needed a bit more of their great dressing. I needed to get to an appointment sooner than i would have liked and my server quickly got me my bill and processed my credit card. I so wish i could go here more often. read more

Cafe Girasole offers creative, delicious, healthy food that is freshly prepared each day. What a pleasant surprise to find such high quality, interesting gourmet food right in Garnerville! The service is friendly, and helpful. On my first visit, I had a generous sandwich made with the tasty chicken salad of the day topped with fresh veggies and avocado on squaw bread. Perfect combination! The owner let me sample two side dishes (half each) instead of the one that's included. The curried orzo salad was divine, and the bow tie pasta salad was scrumptious! Also included with our sandwiches was a choice of unsweetened mango iced tea, or herb water. Both were refreshing and welcome! My companion's grilled panini sandwich was yummy and she loved her side dishes as well. Since discovering Cafe Girasole, I have eaten there many times -- each time I visit my family in the Carson Valley. I will definitely continue to return to this terrific restaurant! Note that Cafe Girasole moved to a new location in Gardnerville at the beginning of 2010. Their new address is: 1483 Hwy 395 Gardnerville, NV 89410 read more

Delicious, healthy, freshly prepared food at great prices coupled with charming ambiance & friendly service = Five Stars! All their food is absolutely 100% house made, and you can really taste the care that goes into each and every amazing creation. Everything's prepared fresh daily, so besides the fun & unique items that are always on the menu, there's generally something incredibly interesting on their daily specials board as well. Their paninis are only $8.95 and are outstanding. Some of my favs have been the "Okie Dokie Ham & Artichokey", the "Grilled Beef & Brie", and a lobster special they had one day - they should make that one a permanent menu item! Their regular sandwiches (and i use that term loosely as none of their sammies are remotely "regular") are great, too. For just $7.95 you must try the "Iron Mike" - peanut butter, avocado, Havarti, cucumber, sunflower seeds, tomato, carrot, sprouts, spring mix & a splash of balsamic all on freshly baked squaw bread! It's an amazing creation that tastes great and is great for you! And the "K2" is not to be missed - turkey, brie, pear, caramelized onion, garlic aioli and black currant chutney... oh oh oh I was in heaven. And if you feel like a wrap, I suggest the $7.95 Thai Peanut. And be sure to try one of their great salads and/or soups with whatever you get for lunch! It's all great here, you'll never have a bad experience, sure to stop in and give this wonderful little place a try. Like me, I'm sure you'll stop back in often, anxious to see what they're cooking up next! read more

After waiting for over 30 minutes, finally got correct sandwiches and they refused any discounts, any future credits, nothing. Will never come back here. They get one star because I have to put something and the sandwich was ok.

Po' boys happen to be my favorite Cajun item, but wasn't in the mood to get messy and get filled up on bread, so I opted to fill up on fries instead and got the shrimp basket and lemon beignets for dessert. Had great convo with the owner while I waited for my food. They've only been open less than a year. Food came out piping hot fresh from the fryer. The shrimp is coated in what tasted like a beer batter and then dusted with Cajun seasoning. Fries were also seasoned the same way. It's a good item, but nothing too special. It is served with a side of remoulade for dipping. What I actually really enjoyed was the little cole slaw they served with it. It had a subtle spiciness that made me break the tiniest sweat. The lemon beignets were like, deep fried croissant dough. They were soft, yeasty, and flaky on the outside with a chewy interior and topped with a lemon glaze and powdered sugar. I wished it had a more lemony punch to it. The lemon in the glaze doesn't really come through enough. It was a pretty pricey lunch at $30 for just 1 person. The 2 items and a small fountain drink. However, I am curious to come back a 2nd time or more to try their other items. They also serve brunch on the weekends with a full bar.

A Charming Midday Escape at Cafe Girasole If you find yourself in Gardnerville, Cafe Girasole is a must-visit for anyone seeking a fresh, thoughtful lunch in a welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place that reminds you why local cafes are the heart of a community. The Food I opted for a classic pairing: half of "THE Sandwich" and a cup of the Tomato Bisque. * The Tomato Bisque: This wasn't your average soup. It was velvety, rich, and hit that perfect balance between savory and sweet. It tasted remarkably fresh, with a depth of flavor that felt like a warm hug in a bowl--perfect for dipping or enjoying on its own. * "THE Sandwich": This is a standout. It features a delicious combination of turkey and melted Havarti, but what really elevates it are the roasted tomatoes and grilled onions. The sweetness of the onions and the concentrated flavor of the roasted tomatoes create a sophisticated profile that goes far beyond a standard turkey sandwich. Atmosphere & Service The cafe itself lives up to its "sunflower" namesake (Girasole). The vibe is bright and cheerful, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed lunch. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring the meal was as pleasant as the food was flavorful. Final Verdict: Cafe Girasole delivers a delightful experience in every sense of the word. Whether you're a local or just passing through the Carson Valley, this combination of the Tomato Bisque and THE Sandwich is a winning choice. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. read more

There is a reason this place has won The Best of the Carson Valley! The food here is amazing! Admittedly, I have really only tried a few sandwiches, but the ones I have had are so amazing that they are all I want when I go here. The K2 sandwich is an incredible tasting sandwich that has a mix of flavors you wouldn't think would taste good together, but it is amazing. Also, the Okie Dokey Ham and Artichokey is amazing too. It's a bit messy, but if it's not messy, it's not good, right? You have to try this place for lunch! Be sure to look around as they have all kinds of different foods in there. Everything from desserts in a case, to smoothies and other blended drinks. read more

Went to lunch with my best friend usually go to locally owned places 1 or 2 times a month we went at the recommendation of another local business, it was awesome very calming and great food, if you want McDonald's this is not where you want to go.... the menu is very unique I love trying different food but will be going to lunch quite often. Best Clam Chowder I have ever had home made and fresh only on Friday and Saturday's.... I can't wait to try the crab cake special...... do give it a try.

We only recently discovered Cafe Girasole. It is a true Gem! Not only is the food wonderful, but it is very economical. Leslie recently (12/18/09) moved to larger, more central quarters at 1483 Hwy 395, in Northern Minden. Each of her wonderful sandwitches with side salad are only $7.95.The new location seats up to 30 guests, and is located on Mindens's main street. We consider this a real find and a valuable addition to Minden's cuisine. read more

Ordered food @ 1:55pm The door slammed shut and "closed" sign up in my face before 2pm Pictures to prove. I've had at least a dozen visits and today will be the last. My advice to friends and family is avoid this local business. read more
